Drawn to the cross, which Thou hast blessed

Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Drawn to the cross, which Thou hast blessed With healing gifts for souls distressed, To find in Thee my life, my rest, Christ Crucified, I come. 2 Thou knowest all my griefs and fears, Thy grace abused, my misspent years; Yet now to Thee, with contrite tears, Christ Crucified, I come. 3 Wash me, and take away each stain; Let nothing of my sin remain; For cleansing, though it be through pain, Christ Crucified, I come. 4 And then for work to do for Thee, Which shall so sweet a service be That angels well might envy me, Christ Crucified, I come.

Thy works, not mine, O Christ

Appears in 88 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy works, not mine, O Christ, Speak gladness to this heart; They tell me all is done; They bid my fear depart, To whom, save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 2 Thy cross, not mine, O Christ, Has borne the awful load Of sins, that none in heaven Or earth could bear but God. To whom, save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 3 Thy death, not mine, O Christ, Has paid the ransom due; Ten thousand deaths like mine Would have been all too few. To whom, save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 4 Thy righteousness, O Christ, Alone can cover me; No righteousness avails Save that which is of Thee. To whom, save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? Topics: Faith and Justification

O mystery of love Divine

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O mystery of love Divine That thought and thanks o'erpowers! Lord Jesus, was our portion Thine, And is Thy portion ours? 2 Emmanuel, didst Thou take our place To set us in Thine own? Didst Thou our low estate embrace To lift us to Thy throne? 3 Didst Thou fulfill each righteous deed, God's perfect will express, That we, th'unfaithful ones, might plead Thy perfect faithfulness? 4 On Thy pure soul did dread and gloom In that drear garden rise? And ours the brightness and the bloom Of Thine own Paradise? 5 For Thee the Father's hidden face? For Thee the bitter cry? For us the Father's endless grace, The song of victory? 6 Our load of sin and misery Didst Thou, the Sinless, bear? Thy spotless robe of purity Do we, the sinners, wear? 7 Lord Jesus, is it even so? Have we been lovèd thus? What love can we on Thee bestow Who hast exchanged with us? 8 Thou, who our very place didst take, Dwell in our very heart: Thou, who Thy portion ours dost make, Thyself, Thyself, impart.

Let us ever walk with Jesus

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7.8.7.7 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us ever walk with Jesus, Follow His example pure, Flee the world, that would deceive us And to sin our soul allure. Ever in His footsteps treading, Body here, yet soul above, Full of faith and hope and love, Let us do the Father's bidding. Faithful Lord, abide with me, Savior, lead, I follow Thee. 2 Let us suffer here with Jesus, To His image e'er conform; Heaven's glory soon will please us, Sunshine follow on the storm. Having sown in tears, in gladness We shall reap. With patient cheer. Let us hope and, void of fear, Bide the turning of our sadness. Christ, I suffer here with Thee, There, oh, share Thy joy with me! 3 Let us also die with Jesus. His death from the second death, From our soul's destruction, frees us, Quickens us with life's glad breath. Let us mortify, while living, Flesh and blood, and die to sin; And the grave that shuts us in Shall but prove the gate to heaven. Jesus, here I die to Thee, There to live eternally. 4 Let us also live with Jesus; Since He's risen from the dead, Must the conquered grave release us. Jesus, Thou art now our Head, We Thy body's cherished members, Where Thou livest, live shall we; Own us evermore to be, Dearest Friend, Thy loved brethren. Jesus, here I live to Thee, Yonder, too, eternally. Topics: Sanctification

Thy life was giv'n for me

Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy life was giv'n for me, Thy blood, O Lord, was shed, That I might ransom'd be, And quickened from the dead. Thy life was giv'n for me: What have I giv'n for Thee? 2 Thy Father's home of light, Thy rainbow-circled throne, Were left for earthly night, For wanderings sad and lone. Yea, all was left for me: Have I left aught for Thee? 3 And Thou hast brought to me, Down from Thy home above, Salvation full and free, Thy pardon and Thy love. Great gifts Thou broughtest me: What have I brought to Thee? 4 Oh, let my life be given, My years for Thee be spent, World's fetters all be riven, And pain with joy be blent! Thou gavest Thyself for me; I give myself to Thee. Topics: Sanctification

Savior! Thy dying love

Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 559 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Savior! Thy dying love Thou gavest me, Nor should I aught withhold, Dear Lord, from Thee; In love my soul would bow, My heart fulfill its vow, Some off'ring bring Thee now, Something for Thee. 2 O’er the blest mercy-seat, Pleading for me, My feeble faith looks up, Jesus, to Thee: Help me the cross to bear, Thy wondrous love declare, Some song to raise, or pray'r, Something for Thee. 3 Give me a faithful heart-- Likeness to Thee-- That each departing day Henceforth may see Some work of love begun, Some deed of kindness done, Some wand'rer sought and won, Something for Thee. 4 All that I am and have-- Thy gifts so free-- In joy, in grief, through life, O Lord, for Thee! And when Thy face I see, My ransomed soul shall be, Through all eternity, Something for Thee. Topics: Sanctification
