My Saviour First of All
Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 749 hymnals Topics: Confidence Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou long-expected Jesus,
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
2 Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art:
Dear desire of ev'ry nation,
Joy of ev'ry longing heart.
3 Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child, and yet a king,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
4 By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 61:1 Used With Tune: STUTTGART
Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
Join all the glorious names
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 336 hymnals Topics: Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names
of wisdom, love, and power,
that ever mortals knew,
that angels ever bore:
all are too mean to speak his worth,
too mean to set my Saviour forth.
2 But O what gentle terms,
what condescending ways
doth our Redeemer use
to teach his heavenly grace!
Mine eyes with joy and wonder see
what forms of love he bears for me.
3 Great Prophet of my God,
my tongue would bless thy name;
by thee the joyful news
of our salvation came:
the joyful news of sins forgiven,
of hell subdued and peace with heaven.
4 Jesus my great High-Priest
offered his blood and died;
my guilty conscience seeks
no sacrifice beside:
his powerful blood did once atone,
and now it pleads before the throne.
5 My dear almighty Lord,
my Conqueror and my King,
thy sceptre and thy sword,
thy reign of grace, I sing;
thine is the power: behold I sit
in willing bonds before thy feet.
6 Now let my soul arise,
and tread the tempter down;
my Captain leads me forth
to conquest and a crown.
A feeble saint shall win the day,
though death and hell obstruct the way.
7 Should all the hosts of death,
and powers of hell unknown,
put their most dreadful forms
of rage and mischief on,
I shall be safe, for Christ displays
superior power, and guardian grace. Scripture: Ephesians 1:20-22 Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH

And can it be that I should gain
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Appears in 286 hymnals Topics: Confidence Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain
an interest in the Saviour's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain--
for me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me!
2 'Tis mystery all! The immortal dies:
who can explore his strange design?
In vain the first-born seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine.
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
let angel minds enquire no more.
3 He left his Father's throne above
(so free, so infinite his grace!)
emptied himself of all but love,
and bled for Adam's helpless race.
'Tis mercy all, immense and free:
for, O my God, it found out me.
4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night:
thine eye diffused a quickening ray--
I woke; the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed thee.
5 No condemnation now I dread:
Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:6-12 Used With Tune: SAGINA
And can it be that I should gain
As pants the hart for cooling streams
Author: Nicholas Brady, 1659-1726; Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 321 hymnals Topics: Confidence Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams
in parched and barren ways
so longs my soul for you, O God,
and your refreshing grace.
2 For you, my God, the living God,
my thirsting soul will pine:
O when shall I behold your face,
your majesty divine?
3 God of my strength, my tears have been
by day and night my food;
the mockers taunt continually
and say: 'Where is your God?'
4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Hope still, and you shall sing
the praise of him who is your God,
your health's eternal spring.
Scripture: Psalm 42:1-4 Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
As pants the hart for cooling streams
Glorious things of you are spoken
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,295 hymnals Topics: Confidence Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken,
Zion, city of our God:
he whose word cannot be broken
formed you for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake your sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded
you may smile at all your foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply your sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove:
who can faint while such a river
ever flows their thirst to assuage -
grace, which like the Lord the giver
never fails from age to age?
3 Blest inhabitants of Zion,
washed in their Redeemer's blood:
Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
makes them kings and priests to God.
For his love his people raises
over self to reign as kings,
and as priests, his solemn praises
each for a thank-offering brings.
4 Saviour, since of Zion's city
I, through grace, a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in your name:
fading are the worldlings' pleasures,
all their boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasures
none but Zion's children know. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:1-8 Used With Tune: ABOT'S LEIGH
Glorious things of you are spoken
