Hail, O Once-Despised Jesus

Hymnal: CWLH1993 #351 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Hail, O once-despised Jesus! Hail, O Galilean King! You have suffered to release us, Hope to give and peace to bring. Hail, O universal Savior, Bearer of our sin and shame; By your merits we find favor; Life is given through your name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, All our sins on you were laid; By almighty love anointed, You have full atonement made. Ev'ry sin has been forgiven Through the power of your blood; Open is the gate of heaven; We are reconciled to God. 3 Jesus, heav'nly hosts adore you, Seated at your Father's side. Crucified this world once saw you; Now in glory you abide. There for sinners you are pleading, And our place you now prepare, Ever for us interceding Till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, pow'r, and blessing You are worthy to receive; Loudest praises, without ceasing, Right it is for us to give. Help, O bright angelic spirits, All your noblest anthems raise; Help to sing our Savior's merits; Help to chant Immanuel's praise.

How dearly it has cost him! 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay; Death brooded darkly o'er me. Sin was my torment night and day; In sin my mother bore me. Yet deep and deeper still I fell; Life had become a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 My own good works availed me naught, No merit they attaining; My will against God's judgment fought, No hope for me remaining. My fears increased till sheer despair Left naught but death to be my share And hell to be my sentence. 4 But God beheld my wretched state Before the world's foundation, And, mindful of his mercies great, He planned my soul's salvation. A Father's heart he turned to me, Sought my redemption fervently; He gave his dearest treasure. 5 He spoke to his beloved Son: "'Tis time to have compassion. Then go, bright Jewel of my crown, And bring mankind salvation. From sin and sorrow set them free; Slay bitter death for them that they May live with you forever." 6 The Son obeyed his Father's will, Was born of virgin mother, And, God's good pleasure to fulfill, He came to be my brother. No garb of pomp or pow'r he wore; A servant's form like mine he bore To lead the devil captive. 7 To me he spoke, "Hold fast to me-- I am your rock and castle. Your ransom I myself will be; For you I strive and wrestle. For I am yours, your friend divine, And evermore you shall be mine; The foe shall not divide us. 8 "The foe shall shed my precious blood, Me of my life bereaving. All this I suffer for your good; Be steadfast and believing. Life shall from death the vict'ry win; My innocence shall bear your sin, And you are blest forever. 9 "Now to my Father I depart, The Holy Spirit sending And, heav'nly wisdom to impart, My help to you extending. He will a source of comfort be, Teach you to know and follow me, And in all truth will guide you. 10 "What I on earth have lived and taught Be all your life and teaching; So shall my kingdom's work be wrought And honored in your preaching. Take care that no one's man-made laws Should e'er destroy the gospel's cause. This final word I leave you."

You removed the sin that stained me, Cleansing me to be your own; For this purpose you ordained me, That I live for you alone. 2 It was grace in Christ that called me, Taught my darkened heart and mind, Else the world had yet enthralled me, To your heav'nly glories blind. Now I worship none above you; For your grace alone I thirst, Knowing well that, if I love you, You, O Father, loved me first. 3 Praise the God of all creation; Praise the Father's boundless love. Praise the Lamb, our expiation, Priest and King enthroned above. Praise the Spirit of salvation, Him by whom our spirits live. Undivided adoration To the great Jehovah give.

Toplady Hymnal: CWLH1993 #381 (1993) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Grace has a thrilling sound To each believer's ear; That peace with God through Christ is found Is news I gladly hear. 2 Grace first inscribed my name In God's eternal book, And grace has brought me to the Lamb, Who all my sorrows took. 3 Grace led my wand'ring feet To tread the heav'nly road, And grace supplies each hour I meet While pressing on to God. 4 Grace taught my soul to pray And made my eyes o'erflow; His grace has kept me to this day And will not let me go. 5 Grace all our work shall crown Through everlasting days; The heav'nly home God gives his own Shall echo with our praise.

My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less

Author: Edward Mote, 1797-1874 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #382 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare to make no other claim 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 ev'ry 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 raging flood; When ev'ry 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 he shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in him be found, Clothed in his righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before his throne. On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. Topics: Justification; Justification Languages: English Tune Title: MAGDALEN

Blessed Are They, Forever Blest

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #383 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Blessed are they, forever blest, Whose guilt is pardoned by their God, Whose sins with sorrow are confessed And covered with their Savior's blood. 2 Blessed are they to whom the Lord Imputes not their iniquity. They plead no merit or reward And not on works but grace rely. 3 From guile their hearts and lips are free; Their humble joy, their holy fear With deep repentance well agree And join to prove their faith sincere. 4 How glorious is that righteousness That hides and cancels all their sins, While bright the evidence of grace Through all their lives appears and shines!

By Grace I'm Saved

Author: Christian L. Scheidt, 1709-61 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #384 (1993) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 First Line: By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless Lyrics: 1 By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless; My soul, believe and doubt it not. Why waver at this word of promise? Has Scripture ever falsehood taught? So then this word must true remain: By grace you, too, shall heav'n obtain. 2 By grace God's Son, our only Savior, Came down to earth to bear our sin. Was it because of your own merit That Jesus died, your soul to win? No, it was grace, and grace alone, That brought him from his heav'nly throne. 3 By grace! Oh, mark this word of promise When you are by your sins oppressed, When Satan plagues your troubled conscience, And when your heart is seeking rest. What reason cannot comprehend God by his grace to you did send. 4 By grace to timid hearts that tremble, In tribulation's furnace tried -- By grace, despite all fear and trouble, The Father's heart is open wide. Where could I help and strength secure If grace were not my anchor sure? 5 By grace! On this I'll rest when dying; In Jesus' promise I rejoice. For though I know my heart's condition, I also know my Savior's voice. My heart is glad; all grief has flown Since I am saved by grace alone.

Chief of Sinners Though I Be

Author: William McComb, 1793-c. 1870 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #385 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners though I be, Jesus shed his blood for me, Died that I might live on high, Lives that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am his and he is mine! 2 Oh, the height of Jesus' love, Higher than the heav'ns above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting as eternity, Love that found me -- wondrous thought!-- Found me when I sought him not. 3 Only Jesus can impart Comfort to a wounded heart: Peace that flows from sin forgiv'n, Joy that lifts the soul to heav'n, Faith and hope to walk with God In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me. All my wants to him are known; All my sorrows are his own. Safe with him in earthly strife, I await the heav'nly life. 5 Strengthen me, O gracious Lord, By your Spirit and your word. When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die. Topics: Justification; Justification Languages: English Tune Title: GETHSEMANE

Now I Have Found the Firm Foundation

Author: Johann A. Rothe, 1688-1758 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #386 (1993) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the firm foundation Which holds my life forever sure; 'Twas laid before the world's creation In Christ my Savior's wounds secure, Foundation which unmoved shall stay When heav'n and earth will pass away. 2 It is that mercy never ending, Which human wisdom far transcends, Of him who, loving arms extending, To wretched sinners condescends. His heart with pity still will break Whether we seek him or forsake. 3 Our ruin God has not intended; For our salvation he has yearned. For this his Son to earth descended And then again to heav'n returned; For this so patient evermore He's knocking at our heart's closed door. 4 O depth of love, to me revealing The sea where my sins disappear! In Christ my wounds find perfect healing; There is no condemnation here! For Jesus' blood through earth and skies Forever "Mercy! Mercy!" cries. 5 Let mercy cause me to be willing To bear my lot and not to fret. While he my restless heart is stilling, May I this mercy not forget! Whatever comes my heart to test, His mercy is my only rest. 6 Lord, I will stand on this foundation As long as I on earth remain; This will engage my meditation While I the breath of life retain. And then, when face to face with you, I'll sing your mercy great and true. Topics: Justification; Justification Languages: English Tune Title: O DASS ICH TAUSEND ZUNGEN HÄTTE (KÖNIG)

Praise him in tuneful measures Who gave his Son to die; Praise him whose sev'nfold treasures Enrich and sanctify. 2 Once on the dreary mountain We wandered far and wide, Far from the cleansing fountain, Far from the pierced side. But Jesus sought and found us; Our many sins he bore. With cords of love he bound us To him forevermore. 3 Dear Master, yours the glory Of each recovered soul. Ah, who can tell the story Of love that made us whole? Not ours, not ours the merit; To you alone the praise! Give us a thankful spirit To serve you all our days. 4 Now keep us, holy Savior, In your true love and fear, And grant us by your favor The grace to persevere Till, in your new creation, Our earthly troubles o'er, Heirs of your free salvation, We praise you evermore.

Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save and thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling; Naked, come to thee for dress, Helpless, look to thee for grace. Foul, I to the fountain fly -- Wash me, Savior, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee!

Salvation unto Us Has Come

Author: Paul Speratus, 1484-1551 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #390 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Salvation unto us has come By God's free grace and favor. Good works cannot avert our doom; They help and save us never. Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone, Who did for all the world atone; He is the one Redeemer. 2 What God does in his law demand And none to him can render Brings wrath and woe on ev'ry hand For man, the vile offender. Our flesh has not those pure desires The spirit of the law requires, And lost is our condition. 3 It is a false, misleading dream That God his law has given That sinners can themselves redeem And by their works gain heaven. The law is but a mirror bright To bring the inbred sin to light That lurks within our nature. 4 Yet as the law must be fulfilled Or we must die despairing, Christ came and has God's anger stilled, Our human nature sharing. He has for us the law obeyed And thus the Father's vengeance stayed Which over us impended. 5 Since Christ has full atonement made And brought to us salvation, Each Christian therefore may be glad And build on this foundation. Your grace alone, dear Lord, I plead; Your death is now my life indeed, For you have paid my ransom. 6 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise To Father, Son, and Spirit, The God who saved us by his grace-- All glory to his merit! O Triune God in heav'n above, You have revealed your saving love; Your blessed name be hallowed! Topics: Justification; Justification Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST DAS HEIL

All who confide in him alone Are built on this chief cornerstone. 3 God would not have the sinner die-- His Son with saving grace is nigh. His Spirit in the Word does teach How we the blessed goal may reach. 4 Be of good cheer, for God's own Son Forgives the sins that you have done. You're justified by Jesus' blood; Baptized, you are a child of God. 5 When you are sick, when death draws near, This truth your troubled heart can cheer: Christ Jesus saves my soul from death-- This is the anchor of my faith! 6 Glory to God the Father, Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One!

Author: Johann Heermann, 1585-1647 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #393 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 If your beloved Son, O God, Had not to earth descended And in our mortal flesh and blood Had not sin's power ended, Then this poor, wretched soul of mine In hell eternally would pine Because of my transgression. 2 But now I find sweet peace and rest; Despair no more reigns o'er me. No more am I by sin oppressed, For Christ has borne sin for me. Upon the cross for me he died That, reconciled, I might abide With you, my God, forever. 3 I trust in him with all my heart; Now all my sorrow ceases. His words abiding peace impart; His blood from guilt releases. Free grace through him I now obtain; He washes me from ev'ry stain, And pure I stand before him. 4 All righteousness by works is vain; The law brings condemnation. True righteousness by faith I gain; Christ's work is my salvation. His death, that perfect sacrifice, Has paid the all-sufficient price; In him my hope is anchored. 5 My guilt, O Father, you have laid On Christ, your Son, my Savior. Lord Jesus, you my debt have paid And gained for me God's favor. O Holy Spirit, Fount of grace, The good in me to you I trace; In faith and hope preserve me.
