'Tis finished! The Messiah Dies

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Tis finished! the Messiah dies, cut off for sins, but not his own. Accomplished is the sacrifice, the great redeeming work is done. 2 The veil is rent; in Christ alone the living way to heaven is seen. The middle wall is broken down, and all the world may enter in. 3 'Tis finished! All my guilt and pain, I want no sacrifice beside; for me, for me the Lamb is slain; 'tis finished! I am justified. 4 The reign of sin and death is o'er, and all may live from sin set free; Satan hath lost his mortal power; 'tis swallowed up in victory.

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 785 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord; O Lord! forgive; Let a repenting rebel live. Are not Thy mercies large and free? May not a sinner trust in Thee? 2 Great God, Thy nature hath no bound, So let Thy pardoning Love be found. O wash my soul from every sin, And make my guilty conscience clean! 3 My lips with shame my sins confess Against Thy law, against Thy grace: Lord, should Thy judgments grow severe, I am condemned, but Thou art clear. 4 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord, Whose hope, still hovering round Thy Word, Would light on some sweet promise there, Some sure support against despair.

Lord Jesus, When We Stand Afar

Author: William W. How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 97 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord Jesus, when we stand afar And gaze upon Thy holy cross, In love of Thee, and scorn of self, O may we count the world as loss! 2. When we behold Thy bleeding wounds, And the rough way that Thou hast trod, Make us to hate the load of sin That lay so heavy on our God. 3. O holy Lord, uplifted high, With outstretched arms in mortal woe, Thou dost embrace in wondrous love The sinful world that lies below. 4. Give us an ever living faith To gaze beyond the things we see; And in the mystery of Thy death Draw us and all men unto Thee. Used With Tune: BABYLON'S STREAMS Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns, 1854

I Cried to God in My Distress

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I cried to God in my distress, And by the Lord my prayer was heard; O save me, Lord, from lying lips And from the false, deceitful word. 2. What woe for falsehood can atone, Or punish the deceitful tongue, The tongue whose speech consumes like fire, Whose words like deadly shafts are flung? 3. Alas for me, whose lot is cast With those who find their joy in strife! With those who hate the paths of peace I long have dwelt and spent my life. 4. In thought and act I am for peace, Peace I pursue and ever seek; But those about me are for strife, Though I in love and kindness speak.

Among Th' Assemblies Of The Great

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 50 hymnals First Line: Among th’assemblies of the great Lyrics: 1 Among th’assemblies of the great A greater ruler takes His seat; The God of Heav’n, as judge, surveys, The gods on earth, and all their ways. 2 Why will ye, then, frame wicked laws? Or why support th’unrighteous cause? When will ye once defend the poor, That sinners vex the saints no more? 3 They know not, Lord, nor will they know; Dark are the ways in which they go; Their name of earthly gods is vain, For they shall fall and die like men. 4 Arise, O Lord, and let Thy Son Possess His universal throne, And rule the nations with His rod, He is our judge, and He our God.
