What our Father does is well

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #301 (1918) Lyrics: 1 What our Father does is well: Blessed truth His children tell! Though He send, for plenty, want, Though the harvest-store be scant, Yet we rest upon His love, Seeking better things above. 2 What our Father does is well: Shall the willful heart rebel If a blessing He withhold In the field, or in the fold? Is He not Himself to be All our store eternally? 3 What our Father does is well: Though He sadden hill and dell, Upward yet our praises rise For the strength His Word supplies. He has called us sons of God;-- Can we murmur at His rod? 4 What our Father does is well: May the thought within us dwell; Though nor milk nor honey flow, In our barren Canaan now, God can save us in our need, God can bless us, God can feed. 5 Therefore unto Him we raise Hymns of glory, songs of praise; To the Father and the Son And the Spirit, Three in One, Honor, might, and glory be, Now and through eternity.

Almighty Lord, before Thy throne

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #303 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Almighty Lord, before Thy throne, Thy mourning people bend: 'Tis on Thy grace in Christ alone, Our failing hopes depend. 2 Dark judgments, from Thy heavy hand, Thy dreadful power display; Yet mercy spares this guilty land, And still we live to pray. 3 How changed, alas! are truths divine For error, guilt and shame! What impious numbers, bold in sin, Disgrace the Christian name! 4 O turn us, turn us, mighty Lord! Convert us by Thy grace; Then shall our hearts obey Thy word, And see again Thy face. 5 Then, should oppressing foes invade, We shall not yield to fear, Secure of all-sufficient aid, When God in Christ is near.

On Christ the solid rock I stand

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #306 (1918) First Line: My hope is built on nothing less Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 2 When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. 3 His oath, His covenant, and blood, Support me in the sinking flood; When every earthly prop gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. 4 When I shall launch to worlds unseen, O may I then be found in Him, Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. Topics: Faith and Justification Languages: English

Lord, we confess our numerous faults

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #307 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, we confess our numerous faults, How great our guilt has been: Foolish and vain were all our thoughts, And all our lives were sin. 2 But, O my soul, forever praise, Forever love His name, Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways Of folly, sin, and shame. 3 'Tis not by works of righteousness Which our own hands have done, But we are saved by sovereign grace Abounding through His Son. 4 'Tis from the mercy of our God That all our hopes begin; 'Tis by the Water and the Blood Our souls are washed from sin. 5 'Tis through the purchase of His death Who hung upon the tree, The Spirit is sent down to breathe On such dry bones as we. 6 Raised from the dead, we live anew; And justified by grace, We shall appear in glory too, And see our Father's face.

All that I was, my sin, my guilt

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #308 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 All that I was, my sin, my guilt, My death, was all my own; All that I am, I owe to Thee, My gracious God, alone. 2 The evil of my former state Was mine, and only mine; The good in which I now rejoice Is Thine, and only Thine. 3 The darkness of my former state, The bondage, all was mine; The light of life in which I walk, The liberty, is Thine. 4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin, It taught me to believe; Then, in believing, peace I found, And now I live, I live! 5 All that I am, e'en here on earth, All that I hope to be When Jesus comes and glory dawns, I owe it, Lord, to Thee.

Blest is the man, forever blest

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #309 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man, forever blest, Whose guilt is pardoned by his God, Whose sins with sorrow are confessed, And covered with his Savior's blood. 2 Blest is the man to whom the Lord Imputes not his iniquities; He pleads no merit of reward, And not on works, but grace relies. 3 From guile his heart and lips are free, His humble joy, his holy fear, With deep repentance well agree, And join to prove his faith sincere. 4 How glorious is that righteousness That hides and cancels all his sins! While a bright the evidence of grace Through all his life appears and shines. Topics: Faith and Justification Languages: English

Dear Christians, one and all rejoice

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #310 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all rejoice, With exultation springing, And with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing. Tell how our God beheld our need, And sing His sweet and wondrous deed; Right dearly it hath cost Him. 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay, Death brooded darkly o'er me, My sin oppressed me night and day, Therein my mother bore me; Deeper and deeper still I fell, Life had became a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 My good works could avail me naught, For they with sin were stainèd; Free-will against God's judgment fought, And dead to good remainèd; Grief drove me to despair, and I Had nothing left me but to die, To hell I fast was sinking. 4 Then God beheld my wretched state With deep commiseration; He thought upon His mercy great, And willed my soul's salvation; He turned to me a Father's heart-- Not small the cost!--to heal my smart, He gave his best and dearest. 5 He spake to His beloved Son: 'Tis time to have compassion; Then go, my heart's most precious crown, And bring to man salvation; From sin and sorrow set him free, Slay bitter death for him, that he May live with Thee forever. 6 The Son His Father did obey, And, born of virgin-mother, He came awhile on earth to stay, That He might be my brother. His mighty power He hidden bore, A servant's form like mine, He wore, To lead the Devil captive. 7 He spake to me: "Hold fast by me, I am thy rock and castle; I wholly give myself for thee, For thee I strive and wrestle; For I am thine, and thou art mine, Henceforth my place is also thine; The foe shall never part us. 8 The foe shall shed my precious blood, Me of my life bereaving; All this I suffer for thy good; Be steadfast and believing. Life shall from death the victory win, Mine innocence shall bear thy sin, So art thou blest forever. 9 Now to my Father I depart, From earth to heaven ascending, Thence heavenly wisdom to impart, The Holy Spirit sending; He shall in trouble comfort thee, Teach thee to know and follow me, Into all truth shall guide thee. 10 What I have done and taught, do thou To do and teach endeavor; So shall my kingdom flourish now, And God be praised forever; Take heed lest men with base alloy The heavenly treasure should destroy; This counsel I bequeath thee."
