Through Jesus' bloody merit

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #221 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 THROUGH Jesus' blood and merit I am at peace with God; What, then, may daunt my spirit, However dark my road? My courage shall not fail me, For God is on my side; Though hell itself assail me, Its rage I may deride. 2 There's nothing that can sever Me from the love of God; No want, no pain whatever, No famine, peril, blood. Though thousand foes surround me, And in their base design A sheep for slaughter count me, The victory still is mine. 3 Through Him that loved me dearly From all eternity, I can rejoice sincerely In all this misery; For this is my persuasion, I cling to this firm faith, Of which on no occasion Shall rob me hell, nor death: 4 That neither life's temptation, Nor death's most trying hour, Nor angels of high station, Nor any other power, Nor things that now are present, Nor things that are to come, Nor height, however pleasant, Nor depth of deepest gloom; 5 Nor any creature ever Shall from the love of God Me, the poor sinner, sever; For in my Saviour's blood This love its fountain taketh; He hears my faithful prayer, And nevermore forsaketh Me, his dear child and heir.

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #222 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 ALL hail the power of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all! 2 Let high-born seraphs tune the lyre, And, as they tune it, fall Before His face who tunes their choir, And crown Him Lord of all. 3 Crown Him, ye morning star of light! Who fixt this floating ball; Now hail the Strength of Israel's might, An crown Him Lord of all! 4 Crown Him, ye martyrs of our God, Who from His altar call; Extol the Stem of Jesse's rod, And crown Him Lord of all! 5 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race, Ye ransomed from the fall, Hail Him, who saves you by His grace, And crown Him Lord of all! 6 Hail Him, ye heirs of David's line, Whom David Lord did call; The God incarnate, Man divine: And crown Him Lord of all! 7 Sinners! whose love can ne'er forget The wormwood and the gall, Go, spread your trophies at His feet, And crown Him Lord of all! 8 Let every tribe and every tongue That bound creation's call, Now shout in universal song, The crownèd Lord of all!

Chief of sinners though I be

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #223 (1893) Lyrics: 1 CHIEF of sinners though I be, Jesus shed His blood for me; Died, that I might live on high, Lived that I might never die; As the branch is to the vine, I am His, and He is mine. 2 O the height of Jesus' love! Higher than the heaves above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting as eternity; Love that found me,--wondrous thought!-- Found me when I sought Him not. 3 Jesus only can impart Balm to heal the smitten heart; Peace that flows from sin forgiven, Joy that lifts the soul to heaven; Faith and hope to walk with God, In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me; All my wants to Him are known, All my sorrows are His own; Safe with Him from earthly strife, He sustains the hidden life. 5 O my Saviour, help afford By Thy Spirit and Thy Word! When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply, While I live, and when I die. Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

Christ, whose glory fills the skies

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #224 (1893) Lyrics: 1 CHRIST, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, and only Light, Sun of righteousness, arise, Triumph o’er the shades of night! Day-spring, from on high, be near! Day-star, in my heart appear! 2 Dark and cheerless is the morn Unaccompanied by Thee; Joyless is the day’s return, Till Thy mercy’s beams I see; Till they inward light impart, Glad my eyes, and warm my heart. 3 Visit, then, this soul of mine, Pierce the gloom of sin and grief! Fill me, Radiancy divine, Scatter all my unbelief! More and more Thyself display, Shining to the perfect day. Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #225 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 HOW sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary rest. 3 Dear name! The Rock on which I build, My Shield and Hiding-place; My never-failing Treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace. 4 By Thee my prayers acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled: Satan accuses me in vain, And I am owned a child. 5 Jesus! my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend, My Prophet Priest, and King, My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. 6 Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought: But, when I see Thee as Thou art, I'll praise Thee as I ought. 7 Till then, I would Thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death.

I leave Thee not! Thou art my Jesus ever

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #226 (1893) Meter: 11.4.4.11.6.6.6.7.8 Lyrics: 1 I LEAVE Thee not! Thou art my Jesus ever, Though earth rebel, And death and hell Would, from its steadfast hold, my faith dissever. Ah, no! I ever will Cling to my Helper still. Hear what my love is taught: Thou art my Jesus ever, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 2 I leave Thee not, O Love! of love the highest, Though doubt display Its battle-day; I own the power which Thou, my Lord, appliest. Thou didst bear guilt and woe; Shall I to torment go, When into judgment brought? O Love! of love the highest, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 3 I leave Thee not, O Thou who sweetly cheerest! Whose fresh supplies Cause strength to rise, Just in the hour when faith's decay is nearest. If sickness chill the soul, And nights of languor roll, My heart one hope hath caught; O Thou who sweetly cheerest, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 4 I leave Thee not, Thou Help in tribulation! Heap ill on ill, I trust Thee still, I hope when all seems near to desolation, Do what Thou wilt with me, I yet will cling to Thee; Thy grace I have besought; Thou Help in tribulation, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 5 I leave Thee not: shall I forsake salvation? No, Jesus, no! Thou shalt not go; Mine still Thou art, to free from condemnation. After this fleeting night, Thy presence brings me light, Whose ray my soul hath sought; Shall I forsake salvation? I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 6 I leave Thee not; Thy Word my way shall brighten: With Thee I go Through weal and woe, Thy precept wise shall every burden lighten. My Lord, on Thee I hang, Nor heed the journey's pang, Though thorny be my lot; Let but Thy Word enlighten, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 7 I leave Thee not, e'en in the lap of pleasure; For when I stray Without Thy ray, My richest joy must cease to be a treasure. I shudder at the glee, When no delight from Thee Has heartfelt peace begot; E'en in the lap of pleasure, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 8 I leave Thee not! I fear no condemnation, For how could share Thy child and heir The lot of those who spurn their soul's salvation? Thy blood, Lord, cleanseth me, And therefore I am free From hell, the sinner's lot. I fear no condemnation; I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 9 I leave Thee not, my God, my Lord, my Heaven! Nor death shall rend From Thee, my Friend, Who for my sake Thyself to death hast given. Thou diedst for love to me, And love goes back to Thee; My heart has but one thought: My God, my Lord, my Heaven, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

I was a wandering sheep

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #227 (1893) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I WAS a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd's voice, I would not be controlled, I was a wayward child, I did not love my home; I did not love my Father's voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; They followed me o'er vale and hill, O'er deserts waste and wild; They found me nigh to death, Famished, and faint, and lone; They bound me with the hands of love, They saved the wandering one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is, 'Twas He that loved my soul, 'Twas He that washed me in His Blood, 'Twas He that made me whole. 'Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep; 'Twas He that brought me to the fold, 'Tis He that still doth keep. 4 I was a wandering sheep, I would not be controlled; But now I love my Shepherd's voice, I love, I love the fold! I was a wayward child, I once preferred to roam, But now I love my Father's voice, I love, I love His home. Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

Jesus! and shall it ever be

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #228 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 JESUS! and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of Thee? Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days? 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star; He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon: 'Tis midnight with my soul, till He, Bright Morning-star, bids darkness flee. 4 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend! No; when I blush--be this my shame,-- That I no more revere His name. 5 Ashamed of Jesus! Yes, I may, When I've no guilt to wash away, No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. 6 Till then—-nor is my boasting vain—- Till then I boast a Saviour slain! And, O may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me! Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

Jesus, Saviour, come to me!

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #229 (1893) Lyrics: 1 JESUS, Saviour, come to me! Let me ever be with Thee; Come, and nevermore depart, Thou who reignest in my heart. 2 Lord, for Thee I ever sigh, Nothing else can satisfy, 'Tis my constant cry to Thee: Jesus, Jesus, come to me! 3 Earthly joys can give no peace Cannot bid my longing cease; But to have my Jesus near, This is all my pleasure here. 4 All that makes the angels glad, In their garb of glory clad, Only fills me with distress, If Thy presence does not bless. 5 Take Thou all away from me, I shall still thus minded be; Thou who madest me Thine own Shalt be e'er my joy alone. 6 Lord, to none on earth, beside Thee, my heart I open wide; Enter Thou, possess it all, Thee alone mine own I call. 7 Thou alone, my God and Lord, Art my Glory and Reward; Thou hast bled for me and died, I will be no other's bride. 8 Come then, Lamb for sinners slain, Come and ease me of my pain; Evermore I cry to Thee: Jesus, Jesus, come to me! 9 Patiently I wait Thy Day; For this gift yet, Lord, I pray, That, when death shall come to me, My sweet Jesus Thou wilt be.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus only

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #230 (1893) Meter: 8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 JESUS, Jesus, Jesus only Can my heart-felt longing still; Without Him my soul is lonely, And I wish, what Jesus will. For my heart, which He hath filled, Ever cries: Lord, as Thou wilt. 2 One it is for whom I'm living, Whom I'm loving faithfully; Jesus, unto whom I'm giving What in love He gave to me. Jesus' blood hides all my guilt; Lord, O lead me as Thou wilt. 3 Seems a thing to me a treasure, Which displeasing is to Thee, Then remove such dangerous pleasure; Give instead what profits me. Let my heart by Thee be stilled, Make me Thine, Lord, as Thou wilt. 4 Grant that always I endeavor Thy good pleasure to fulfill, In me, through me, with me ever, Lord, accomplish Thou Thy will. Let me die, Lord, on Thee built, When, and where, and as Thou wilt. 5 Lord, my praise shall be unceasing, For Thou gav'st Thyself to me, And besides so many a blessing, That I sing now joyfully: Be it unto me, my Shield, As Thou wilt, Lord, as Thou wilt.
