Grace! 'tis a charming sound

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: CBWM1872 #102 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Grace! 'tis a charming sound, Harmonious to the ear! Heaven with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear. 2 Grace first contrived the way To save rebellious man; And all the steps that Grace display, Which drew the wondrous plan. 3 Grace taught my roving feet To tread the heavenly road; And new supplies each hour I meet, While pressing on to God. 4 Grace all the work shall crown. Through everlasting days; It lays in heaven the topmost stone, And well deserves the praise.

I was a wandering sheep

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: CBWM1872 #107 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I was a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd's voice, I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child, I did not love my home; I did not love my Father's voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; They followed me o'er vale and hill, O'er deserts waste and wild: They found me nigh to death, Famished, and faint, and lone; They bound me with the bands of love, They saved the wandering one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is; 'Twas He that loved my soul, 'Twas He that washed me in His Blood, 'Twas He that made me whole. 'Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep; 'Twas He that brought me to the fold, 'Tis He that still doth keep. 4 I was a wandering sheep, I would not be controlled; But now I love my Shepherd's voice, I love, I love the fold! I was a wayward child, I once preferred to roam; But now I love my Father's voice, I love, I love His home.

The Advent of our God

And seems it hard my vernal years Few vernal joys can show? 3 I look, and hold my peace: The Giver of all good Even from the womb takes no release From suffering, tears, and blood. 4 That I may reap in love, Help me to sow in fear: So life a winter's morn may prove To a bright endless year.

Not all the blood of beasts

Author: Watts Hymnal: CBWM1872 #158 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts, On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away the stain. 2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away; A Sacrifice of nobler name, And richer blood than they. 3 My faith would lay her hand, On that dear head of Thine, While like a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin. 4 My soul looks back to see The burden Thou didst bear, When hanging on the curséd tree; And hopes her guilt was there. 5 Believing, we rejoice To see the curse remove;, We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, And sing His bleeding Love.

Behold the amazing sight

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: CBWM1872 #180 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold the amazing sight, The Saviour lifted high! Behold the Son of God's delight Expire in agony! 2 For whom, for whom, my heart, Were all these sorrows borne? Why did He feel that piercing smart, And meet that various scorn? 3 For love of us He bled, And all in torture died; 'Twas Love that bowed His fainting head, And oped His gushing side. 4 Drawn by such cords as these, Let all the earth combine, With cheerful ardor to confess The energy divine. 5 In Thee our hearts unite, Nor share Thy griefs alone, But from Thy Cross pursue their flight To Thy triumphant throne.
