A Selection of Psalms and Hymns ‎#CCCI

CCCI. Christ the believer's All

1 Lamb of God we fall before thee,
Humbly trusting in thy cross;
That alone be all our glory,
All things else are dung and dross;
Thee we own a perfect Saviour,
Only source of all that's good:
Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favour
Comes to us thro' Jesus' blood.

2 Jesus gives us true repentance,
By his Spirit sent from Heav'n;
Jesus whispers this sweet sentence,
"Son, thy sins are now forgiv'n;"
Faith he gives us to believe it,
Grateful hearts his love to prize;
Want we wisdom?= he must give it;
Hearing ears and seeing eyes.

3 Jesus gives us pure affections,
Wills to do what he requires;
Makes us follow his directions,
And, what he commands, inspires;
All our pray'rs and all our praises,
Rightly offer'd in his name;
He that dictates them is Jesus;
He that answers is the same.

4 When we live on Jesus' merit,
Then we worship God aright:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
Then we savingly unite,
This the whole conclusion of it,
Great or good what'er we call;
God, or King of Priest, or Prophet,
Jesus Christ is, all in all.
