Now Christ, the Sinless Son of God
Author: N. Selnecker, 1532-92; C. H. L. Schuette, 1843-1926 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Now Christ, the sinless Son of God,
On sinners sends this saving flood;
This is the water which the Lord
Has joined unto His saving Word.
2 This flood, to cleanse sin's leprosy,
Mere earthly water cannot be;
Here water and God's gracious Word
Are joined; Salvation they afford!
3 "Go forth," says Christ, "My Word proclaim,
Baptize all nations in God's name;
All who are baptized and believe
Life everlasting shall receive."
4 God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
To be baptized invites a host;
Here He is present, though unseen,
From all our sins He's washed us clean.
5 And so by our repentance, must
The old man, with his sins and lust,
Be daily drowned and then arise
God's own child, righteous, pure, and wise.
6 Since by this water and the Word
We're born again, we thank You, Lord.
Through life and death Yours may we be,
Your children through eternity. Topics: Baptism of Jesus Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM
Now Christ, the Sinless Son of God
We sing the praise of him who died
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769 - 1854 Appears in 192 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
Of him who died upon the Cross;
The sinner's hope let men deride,
For this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the Cross we see,
In shining letters, 'God is Love.'
He bears our sins upon the Tree;
He brings us mercy from above.
3 The Cross, it takes our guilt away;
It holds the fainting spirit up;
It cheers with hope the gloomy day,
And sweetens every bitter cup.
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
And nerves the feeble arm for fight;
It takes its terror from the grave,
And gilds the bed of death with light;
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
The measure and the pledge of love,
The sinner's refuge here below,
The angels' theme in heaven above. Topics: The Church Year Lent; The Church Year Good Friday; The Life In Christ Contemplation Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

Author: Charles W. Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 296 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 "Take up your cross," the Savior said,
"if you would my disciple be;
Take up your cross with willing heart
and humbly follow after me."

fill your weak spirit with alarm;
Christ's strength will bear your spirit up
and brace your heart, support your arm.
3 Take up your cross, heed not the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still;
For Christ did not refuse to die
upon a cross on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down,
For only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Cross of Believers; Discipleship; Lent; Year A Proper 17; Year B Lent 2; Year C Proper 18 Scripture: Mark 8:34 Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

The gift of life to all who live,
Look down on all earth’s sin and strife,

To brighter hopes and kindlier things;

Of selfish greed and fruitless gain;
Of tarnished honor, falsely strong,
And all its ancient deeds of wrong.

Uprising from all lands today,
And o’er the vanquished powers of sin,
O bring Thy great salvation in. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

And tell how large His goodness is;
Let all your powers rejoice and bless
While you record His holiness.

Though grief and tears the night employ,
The morning star restores the joy. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

My inner life, my King may please.

My joys, my toil, my craftsman’s skill;
All have their place, and serve His will.

Lord, What a Thoughtless Wretch Was I
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 126 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
To mourn, and murmur, and repine,
To see the wicked placed on high,
In pride and robes of honor shine.
2. But O their end, their dreadful end!
Thy sanctuary taught me so;
On slippery rocks I see them stand,
And fiery billows roll below.
3. Now let them boast how tall they rise,
I’ll never envy them again;
There they may stand with haughty eyes,
Till they plunge deep in endless pain.
4. Their fancied joys, how fast they flee!
Just like a dream when man awakes;
Their songs of softest harmony
Are but a preface to their plagues.
5. Now I esteem their mirth and wine
Too dear to purchase with my blood;
Lord, ’tis enough that Thou art mine,
My life, my portion, and my God. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
