Jesus, Your Blood and Righteousness
Author: Nicolaus L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-60; John Wesley, 1703-91 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 501 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, your blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
Mid flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 Bold shall I stand in that great day,
Cleansed and redeemed, no debt to pay;
For by your cross, absolved I am
From sin and guilt, from fear and shame.
3 Lord, I believe your precious blood,
Which at the mercy seat of God
Pleads for the captives' liberty,
Was also shed in love for me.
4 Lord, I believe, were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
You have for all a ransom paid,
For all a full atonement made.
5 When from the dust of death I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies,
This then shall be my only plea:
Christ Jesus lived and died for me.
6 Then shall I praise you and adore
Your blessed name forevermore,
Who once, for me and all you made,
An everlasting ransom paid. Topics: Atonement; Church Triumphant; Eternal Life; Justification; Life Everlasting Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN
Jesus, Your Blood and Righteousness
God Loved the World So That He Gave
Author: August Crull, 1845-1923 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God loved the world so that He gave
His only Son the lost to save,
That all who would in Him believe
Should everlasting life receive.
2 Christ Jesus is the ground of faith,
Who was made flesh and suffered death;
All then who trust in Him alone
Are built on this chief cornerstone.
3 God would not have the sinner die;
His Son with saving grace is nigh;
His Spirit in the Word declares
How we in Christ are heaven's heirs.
4 Be of good cheer, for God's own Son
Forgives all sins which you have done;
And, justified by Jesus' blood,
Your Baptism grants the highest good.
5 If you are sick, if death is near,
This truth your troubled heart can cheer:
Christ Jesus saves your soul from death;
That is the firmest ground of faith.
6 Glory to God the Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One!
To Thee, O blessed Trinity,
Be praise now and eternally!

God Loved the World So That He Gave
Strong Son of God, Immortal Love
Author: Alfred Tennyson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 140 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Strong Son of God, immortal love,
Whom we, that have not seen Thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove.
2. Thou wilt not leave us in the dust;
Thou madest man, he knows not why,
He thinks he was not made to die:
And Thou hast made him: Thou art just.
3. Thou seemest human and divine,
The highest, holiest manhood, Thou.
Our wills are ours, we know not how;
Ours wills are ours, to make them Thine.
4. Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be;
They are but broken lights of Thee,
And Thou, O Lord, art more than they.
5. We have but faith: we cannot know;
For knowledge is of things we see;
And yet we trust it comes from Thee,
A beam in darkness: let it grow.
6. Let knowledge grow from more to more,
But more of reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before.
7. But vaster. We are fools and slight;
We mock Thee when we do not fear;
But help Thy foolish ones to bear—
Help Thy vain worlds to bear Thy light. Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN
Strong Son of God, Immortal Love
Just as I am, without one plea
Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 2,154 hymnals Lyrics:
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou bidd'st me come to thee,
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind
Yea, all I need, in thee to find,
Just as I am: thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because thy promise I believe,
Just as I am, thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come.
Amen.

Oft As The Bell, With Solemn Toll
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 78 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oft as the bell, with solemn toll,
Speaks the departure of a soul;
Let each one ask himself: "Am I
Prepared, should I be called to die?"
2 Only this frail and fleeting breath
Preserves me from the jaws of death;
Soon as it fails, at once I’m gone,
And plunged into a world unknown.
3 Then, leaving all I loved below,
To God’s tribunal I must go;
Must hear the Judge pronounce my fate,
And fix my everlasting state.
4 But could I bear to hear Him say,
"Depart, accursèd, far away!
With Satan, in the lowest hell,
Thou art for ever doomed to dwell."
5 Lord Jesus! help me now to flee,
And seek my hope alone in Thee.
Apply Thy blood, Thy Spirit give,
Subdue my sin, and in me live.
6 Then, when the solemn bell I hear,
If saved from guilt, I need not fear;
Nor would the thought distressing be,
Perhaps it next may toll for me.
7 Rather, my spirit would rejoice,
And long, and wish, to hear Thy voice;
Glad when it bids me earth resign,
Secure of Heav’n, if Thou art mine. Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 2

Searcher of Hearts
Author: Kenneth L. McLaughlin, 1951 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Searcher of hearts, to you are known Lyrics: 1 Searcher of hearts, to you are known
the inner secrets of my soul.
At home, abroad, in crowds, alone,
you sense my yearning to be whole.
2 My mind can barely comprehend
the myst'ry of your gracious will.
In human weakness I may fall,
yet your strong arm upholds me still.
3 I praise you for the gift of life,
for I am wonderfully made!
How precious are your thoughts toward me,
your faithfulness in me displayed.
4 How from your presence can I go,
or ever from your Spirit flee,
since heights above and depths below
all dwell in your eternity?
5 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
try me, and all my thoughts survey.
May I respond with days well-lived.
Lord, lead me in your lasting way.
Amen.
