Lord, didst Thou die, but not for me?

Hymnal: BW1867 #138 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, didst thou die, but not for me? Am I forbid to trust thy blood? Hast Thou not pardon, rich and free? And grace, an overwhelming flood? 2 Presumptuous thought! to fix the bound-- To limit mercy's sovereign reign: What other happy souls have found, I'll seek; nor shall I seek in vain. 3 I own my guilt; my sins confess; Can men or devils make them more? Of crimes, already numberless, Vain the attempt to swell the score. 4 Were the black list before my sight, While I remember Thou hast died, 'Twould only urge my speedier flight To seek salvation at Thy side. 5 Low at Thy feet I'll cast me down, To Thee reveal my guilt and fear; And, if Thou spurn me from Thy throne-- I'll be the first who perished there.

Hymnal: BW1867 #139 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins, And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in His day; And there have I, though vile as He, Washed all my sins away! 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power Till all the ransomed church of God Be saved, to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save; When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave.

Who can recount their various names? In strength and beauty they excel; For near the throne of God they dwell. 3 How eagerly they wish to know The duties he would have them do! What joy their active spirits feel, To execute their Sovereign's will! 4 Hither, at His command, they fly To guard the beds on which we lie, To shield our persons night and day, And scatter all our fears away. 5 Send, O my God, some angel down, (Though to a mortal eye unknown,) To guide and guard my doubtful way Up to the realms of endless day.

Hymnal: BW1867 #144 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Beyond the glittering, starry skies, Far as th' eternal hills, There, in the boundless worlds of light, Our dear Redeemer dwells. 2 Legions of angels round His throne In countless armies shine, And swell His praise with golden harps, Attuned to songs divine. 3 "Hail, glorious Prince of peace!" they cry, "Whose unexampled love Moved Thee to quit these glorious realms, And royalties above." 4 Through all His travels here below They did His steps attend, Oft wondering how, or where, at last, The mystic scene would end. 5 They saw His heart transfixed with wounds, And viewed the crimson gore; They saw Him break the bars of death, Which none e'er broke before. 6 They brought His chariot from above, To bear Him to His throne; Clapped their triumphant wings, and cried, "The glorious work is done!"

How cheering the thought that the spirits in bliss

Hymnal: BW1867 #145 (1867) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 How cheering the thought that the spirits in bliss Should bow their bright wings to a world such as this, And leave the sweet songs of the mansions above, To breathe o'er our bosom some message of love! 2 They come--on the wings of the morning they come, To convoy the stranger in peace to his home; The pilgrim to waft from this stormy abode, And lay him to rest in the arms of his God. 3 They come when we wander, they come when we pray, In mercy to guard us wherever we stray: A glorious cloud their bright witness is given; Encircling us here these angels of heaven.

Angels, where'er we go, attend

Hymnal: BW1867 #146 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Angels, where'er we go, attend Our steps, what'er betide, With watchful care their charge defend, And evil turn aside. 2 Myriads of bright cherubic bands, Sent by the King of kings, Rejoice to bear us in their hands, And shade us with their wings. 3 Jehovah's charioteers surround; The ministerial choir Encamp where'er his heirs are found, And form our wall of fire. 4 Ten thousand offices unseen For us they gladly do, Deliver in the furnace keen, And safe escort us through. 5 But thronging round, with busiest love They guard the dying breast, The lurking fiend far off remove, And sing our souls to rest. 6 And when our spirits we reign, On outstretched wings they bear, And lodge us in the arms of divine, And leave us ever there.

How beauteous are their feet

Hymnal: BW1867 #147 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes, That see this heavenly light! Prophets and saints desired it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad; Let all the nations now behold Their Saviour and their God.
