Beneath Thy Cross I Stand

Author: W. H. Lehmann Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beneath Thy cross I stand And view Thy marred face; O Son of Man, must Thou thus die To save a fallen race? 2 Alone thou bear'st the wrath That should on sinners fall, While from Thy holy wounds forth flows A stream of life for all. 3 O Lamb of God so meek, Beneath Thy cross I bow: Heart-stricken all my sins confess-- O hear, forgive me now! 4 O Son of God, look down In mercy now on me And heal my wounds of sin and death That I may live to Thee! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Passion Used With Tune: FREMONT

Within the Father's House

Author: James R. Woodford, 1820-85 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Within the Father's house The Son has found his home, And to his temple suddenly The Lord of life has come. 2 The doctors of the Law Gaze on the wondrous child And marvel at his gracious words Of wisdom undefiled. 3 Yet not to them is giv'n The mighty truth to know, To lift the earthly veil which hides Incarnate God below. 4 The secret of the Lord Escapes each human eye, And faithful pond'ring hearts await The full epiphany. 5 Lord, enter now our souls And teach us by your grace Each dim revealing of yourself With loving awe to trace 6 Till we behold your face And know as we are known You, Father, Son, and Holy ghost, Coequal Three in One.

My trust is in the Lord

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My trust is in the Lord: How say ye then to me, "Now like a bird from peril haste, And to your mountain flee?" 2 Lo, sinners bend the bow With arrow fixed for flight; And stealthily in darkness go The true in heart to smite. 3 What can the righteous do, What can for them avail, When all foundations are destroyed, And all the pillars fail? 4 The Lord in Zion dwells, The Lord is throned on high; His eyes behold the sons of men Their hearts and ways to try. 5 The Lord the righteous proves; But those who scorn the right, Who love deceit and violence Are hateful in his sight. 6 For righteous is the Lord, He loveth righteousness, And with a gracious countenance The upright he will bless. Amen.

Sanctification

How greatly blessed are they,Whose garments now are clean;Washed in the fountain of that blood,Which purifies from sin.2. Their once rebellious soulsAre now by grace subdued;So tyrant lusts shall hence remain,Or slavish fears intrude.3. Their thoughts and words and waysAre ordered by the Lord;Awake, our hearts, to lofty songs,His wondrous deeds record.

Firm And Unmoved Are They

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Firm and unmoved are they That rest their souls on God; Firm as the mount where David dwelt, Or where the ark abode. 2 As mountains stood to guard The city’s sacred ground, So God and His almighty love Embrace His saints around. 3 What though the Father’s rod Drop a chastising stroke, Yes, lest it wound their souls too deep, Its fury shall be broke. 4 Deal gently, Lord, with those Whose faith and pious fear, Whose hope, and love, and every grace Proclaim their hearts sincere. 5 Nor shall the tyrant’s rage Too long oppress the saint; The God of Israel will support His children lest they faint. 6 But if our slavish fear Will choose the road to hell, We must expect our portion there, Where bolder sinners dwell. Used With Tune: TRENTHAM Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
