Salvation unto Us Has Come
Author: Paul Speratus Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #430 (2018) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 Salvation unto us has come
by God’s free grace and favor.
Our works cannot avert our doom;
the law can save us never.
Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone,
who for his people did atone;
he is our one Redeemer.
2 What God did in his law demand
and none to him could render
caused wrath and woe on ev'ry hand
for man, the vile offender.
Our flesh has not the pure desires
God's holy law of us requires,
and lost is our condition.
3 It was a false, misleading dream
that God his law had given
so sinners could themselves redeem
and by their works gain heaven.
The law is just a mirror bright
to bring the inbred sin to light
that lurks within our nature.
4 From sin our flesh could not abstain;
sin held its sway unceasing.
The task was hopeless and in vain;
our guilt was e’er increasing.
None can remove sin’s poisoned dart
or purify our guileful heart,
so deep is our corruption.
5 Yet as the law must be fulfilled
or we must die despairing,
Christ Jesus came; God’s wrath he stilled,
our human nature sharing.
The law he has for us obeyed
and thus the Father’s vengeance stayed
which over us had rulèd.
6 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise
to Father, Son, and Spirit,
the God who saved us by his grace--
all glory to his merit!
O triune God in heav’n above,
who has revealed your saving love,
your blessèd name be hallowed. Scripture: Romans 3:21-31 Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST DAS HEIL

Salvation, oh, the joyful sound!
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #132 (1899) Topics: Salvation By Grace Lyrics: 1 Salvation, oh, the joyful sound!
'Tis music to our ears;
A sov'reign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.
2 Buried in sorrow and in sin,
At hell's dark door we lay:
But we arise by grace divine,
To see a heavenly day.
3 Salvation! let the echo fly
The spacious earth around;
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound.
4 Salvation! O Thou bleeding Lamb,
To Thee the praise belongs:
Our hearts shall kindle at Thy name,
Thy name inspire our songs.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESTERFIELD

and we are saved by grace alone.
3 By grace God's Son, our only Savior,
came down to earth to bear our sin.
Was it because of your own merit
that Jesus died your soul to win?
No, it was grace, and grace alone,
that brought him from his heav'nly throne.
4 By grace! O mark this word of promise
when you are by your sins oppressed,
when Satan plagues your troubled conscience,
and when your heart is seeking rest.
What reason cannot comprehend
God by his grace to you will send.
5 By grace to timid hearts that tremble,
in tribulation's furnace tried,
by grace, in spite of fear and trouble,
the Father's heart is open wide.
Where could I help and strength secure,
if grace were not my anchor sure?
6 By grace! On this I'll rest when dying;
in Jesus' promise I rejoice;
for though I know my heart's condition,
I also know my Savior's voice.
My heart is glad, all grief has flown,
since I am saved by grace alone.
7 By grace! This ground of faith is certain;
so long as God is true, it stands.
What saints have penned by inspiration,
what in his Word our God commands,
what our whole faith must rest upon,
is grace alone, grace in his Son.

Distinguishing Grace
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CX (1792) Topics: Salvation by Grace First Line: In songs of sublime adoration and praise Lyrics: 1 In songs of sublime adoration and praise,
Ye pilgrims for Sion who press,
Break forth, and extol the great ancient of days,
His rich and distinguishing grace.
2 His love from eternity fix'd upon you,
Broke forth and discover'd its flame,
And now with the cords of his kindness he draws,
And brings us to love his great name.
3 O had he not pitied the state you were in,
Your bosoms his love had ne'er felt,
You all would have liv'd, would have dy'd too in sin
And sunk with the load of our guilt.
4 What was there in man that could merit esteem,
Or give the Creator delight?
'Twas "even so, Father," you ever must sing,
"Because it seem'd good in thy sight."
5 'Twas all of thy grace we were bro't to obey
While others were suffer'd to go,
The road which by nature we chose as our way,
Which leads to the regions of woe.
6 Then give all the glory to his holy name;
To him all the glory belongs;
Be yours the high joys still to sound forth his fame,
And crown him in each of your songs. Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3 Languages: English

Out of the depths I cry to Thee
Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #391 (1899) Topics: Salvation By Grace Lyrics: 1 Our of the depths I cry to Thee,
Lord God, O hear my wailing!
Thy gracious ear incline to me,
And make my prayer availing!
On my misdeeds in mercy look,
O deign to blot them from Thy book,
Or who can stand before Thee?
2 Thou canst be merciful while just,--
This is my hope's foundation;
On Thy redeeming grace I trust,--
Grant me, then, Thy salvation.
Shielded by Thee, I stand secure;
Thy word is firm, Thy promise sure,
And I rely upon Thee.
3 Like those who watch for midnight's hour
To hail the dawning morrow,
I wait for Thee, I trust Thy power,
Unmoved by doubt or sorrow.
So thus let Israel hope in Thee,
And he shall find Thy mercy free,
And Thy redemption plenteous.
4 Where'er the greatest sins abound,
By grace they are exceeded;
Thy helping hand is always found
With aid, where aid is needed:
Thy hand, the only hand to save,
Will rescue Israel from the grace,
And pardon his transgression.

call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above;
praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
mount of God's unchanging love.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer;
hither by thy help I'm come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wand'ring from the fold of God:
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be;
let that grace now, like a fetter,
bind my wand'ring heart to thee.
Prone to wander – Lord, I feel it –
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above.

All who approach Thy throne must fear,
And humbly trust Thy mercy.

3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord,
Son of the heav'nly Father,
O thou who hast our peace restored,
the straying sheep dost gather,
thou Lamb of God, to thee on high
out of the depths we sinners cry:
have mercy on us, Jesus!
4 O Holy Spirit, precious gift,
thou Comforter unfailing,
from Satan's snares our souls uplift,
and let thy pow'r, availing,
avert our woes and calm our dread.
For us the Savior's blood was shed;
we trust in thee to save us.

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #125 (1899) Topics: Salvation By Grace Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace!--how sweet the sound--
That saved a soul like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
'Twas grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!
3 Full many a danger, toil, and snare
My soul has overcome;
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
4 And when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: AZMON
