Christ alone is our salvation

Author: Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ alone is our salvation, Christ the rock on which we stand; Other than this sure foundation Will be found but sinking sand. Christ, His cross and resurrection, Is alone the sinners' plea; At the throne of God's perfection Nothing else can set him free. 2 We have all things, Christ possessing: Life eternal, second birth, Present pardon, peace, and blessing While we tarry here on earth; And by faith's anticipation, Foretaste of the joy above Freely giv'n us with salvation By the Father in His love. 3 When we perfect joy shall enter, 'Tis in Him our bless will rise; He's the essence, soul, and center Of the glory in the skies. In redemption's wondrous story Planned before our parents' fall, From the cross unto the glory Jesus Christ is all in all.

Kelly, 1833-90 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart, with gladness, See what today is done; Now, after gloom and sadness, Comes forth the glorious Sun. My Savior there was laid Where our bed must be made When to the realms of light Our spirit wings its flight. 2 The foe in triumph shouted When Christ lay in the tomb, But, lo, he now is routed, His boast is turned to gloom. For Christ again is free; In glorious victory He who is strong to save Has triumphed o'er the grave. 3 This is a sight that gladdens-- What peace it doth impart! Now nothing ever saddens The joy within my heart. No gloom shall ever shake, No foe shall ever take The hope which God's own Son In love for me hath won. 4 Now hell, its prince, the devil, Of all their pow'r are shorn; Now I am safe from evil, And sin I laugh to scorn. Grim death with all his might Cannot my soul affright; He is a pow'rless form, Howe'er he rave and storm. 5 The world against me rageth, Its fury I disdain; Though bitter war it wageth, Its work is all in vain. My heart from care is free, No trouble troubles me. Misfortune now is play, And night is bright as day. 6 Now I will cling forever To Christ, my Savior true; My Lord will leave me never, Whate'er He passeth through. He rends death's iron chain; He breaks through sin and pain; He shatters hell's dark thrall; I follow Him through all. 7 To halls of heav'nly splendor With Him I penetrate; And trouble ne'er may hinder Nor make me hesitate. Let tempests rage at will, My Savior shields me still; He grants abiding peace And bids all tumult cease. 8 He brings me to the portal That leads to bliss untold Whereon this rime immortal Is found in script of gold: "Who there My cross hath shared Finds here a crown prepared; Who there with Me has died Shall here be glorified."

Allelujah, allelujah! 2 Trust not in princes, they are but mortal; Earth-born they are and soon decay. Naught are their counsels at life's last portal, When the dark grave doth claim its prey. Since mortals can no help afford, Trust ye in Christ, our God and Lord. Allelujah, allelujah! 3 Blessed, yea, blessed is he forever Whose help is in the Lord most high, Whom from the saving faith naught can sever, And who in hope to Christ draws nigh. To all who trust in Him, our Lord, Counsel and aid He doth afford. Allelujah, allelujah! 4 God the Almighty, the great Creator, Ruler of sky and land and sea, All things ordained, and sooner or later They come to pass unfailingly. His rule is over rich and poor, His promise ever standeth sure. Allelujah, allelujah! 5 Penitent sinners, for mercy crying, Pardon and peace from Him obtain; Ever the wants of the poor supplying, Their faithful God He doth remain. He helps His children in distress, The widows and the fatherless. Allelujah, allelujah! 6 Praise, all you nations, the name so holy Of Him who doth such wondrous things! All that hath being, to praise Him solely, With happy heart its Amen sings! Children of God, with angel host Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Allelujah, allelujah!

Døving, 1867-1937 Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.9.8 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: As after the water-brooks panteth Lyrics: 1 As after the water-brooks panteth The hart, when it sinks in the chase, So thirsteth my soul as it fainteth For Thee, O my God, and Thy grace; For Thou art the fount everliving who unto the thirsty art giving The water of life that I need. 2 By day and by night in her anguish My soul is lamenting in woe; O Lord, in my grief I must languish, No counsel, no help do I know; When shall I Thy mercy awaken? When shall I, the poor and forsaken, Before Thee appear, O my God? 3 Great fears now my courage are rending, For near the abyss I am brought, My way on the brink I am wending, My journey with peril is fraught; I faint, I see terrors appalling, And into the deep I am falling-- O harken, O Lord, to my cries! 4 Lord, Thou art my rock of salvation, My house I have built upon Thee; O if Thou shouldst fail as foundation, My ruin it surely would be; Lord, deep unto deep now is calling, Thy waves and Thy billows appalling Arise to go over my soul. 5 When others sing anthems of gladness, And offer thanksgiving and praise, I sit in the gloom of my sadness And hear not the anthems they raise; My song is the voice of my sighing, The festal days pass in my crying-- I languish in grief and in woe. 6 Why art thou disquiet within me? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? Confide in they God, let Him win thee! Still hope in thy God,Him extol! For surely once dawneth a morrow, When, freed from thy care and thy sorrow, Thou praises shalt sing to thy God. 7 His light and His truth, they shall lead me In peace to His temple at last; I rest on His Word, He will speed me, And conflict and sorrow are past; Yea, joyful I anthems will raise Him. With heart and with voice will I praise Him-- My health and my life and my God. Topics: Trinity 14 Used With Tune: SOM TØRSTIGE HJORT MONNE SKRIGE

Thy Hand, O God, Has Guided

Author: E. H. Plumptre, 1821-91 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy hand, O God, has guided Thy flock from age to age; The wondrous tale is written, Full clear, on ev'ry page; Our fathers owned Thy goodness, And we their deeds record, And both of this bear witness, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 2 Thy heralds brought glad tidings, To greatest, as to least; They bade men rise, and hasten To share the great King’s feast; And this was all their teaching, In ev'ry deed and word, To all alike proclaiming, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 3 Through many a day of darkness, Through many a scene of strife, The faithful few fought bravely, To guard the nation’s life. Their Gospel of redemption, Sin pardoned, man restored, Was all in this enfolded, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 4 And we, shall we be faithless? Shall hearts fail, hands hang down? Shall we evade the conflict, And cast away our crown? Not so; in God’s deep counsels Some better thing is stored; We will maintain, unflinching, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 5 Thy mercy will not fail us, Nor leave Thy work undone; With Thy right hand to help us, The vict'ry shall be won; And then by men and angels, Thy name shall be adored, And this shall be their anthem, One Church, one Faith, one Lord.
