'Twas a happy day, and no mistake

Author: William Giles Collins (1855-1931) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #309 (1986) First Line: Before I found salvation Lyrics: 1 Before I found salvation, I was sunk in degradation, And from my Saviour wandered far astray; But I came to Calvary’s mountain, And plunged into the fountain, And from my heart the burden rolled away. Refrain: ‘Twas a happy day, and no mistake, When Jesus from my heart did take The load of sin that made it ache, And filled my soul with Joy. 2 Since I have been converted And the devil’s ranks deserted, I’ve had such joy and gladness in my soul. For Jesus I’ve been fighting, And in the war delighting, And now I’m pressing on toward the goal. 3 If faithful to my Saviour, I shall enjoy his favour, And he will keep me safely to the end; And when I cross the river, I’ll live with him for ever, And one eternal day of glory spend.

Before Jehovah's aweful throne

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748); John Wesley (1703-91) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #4 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Befor Jehovah’s aweful throne, Ye nations bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and he destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to his fold again. 3 We’ll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 4 Wide as the world is thy command; Vast as eternity thy love; Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

While I speak to thee

Author: Herbert Howard Booth (1862-1926) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #409 (1986) First Line: Before thy face, dear Lord Lyrics: 1 Before thy face, dear Lord, Myself I want to see; And while I every question sing, I want to answer thee. Refrain: While I speak to thee, Lord, thy goodness show; Am I what I ought to be? O Saviour, let me know. 2 Am I what once I was? Have I that ground maintained Wherein I walked in power with thee, And thou my soul sustained? 3 Have I a truthful heart, A conscience keen to feel The baseness of a false excuse, The touch of aught unreal? 4 Have I the zeal I had When thou didst me ordain To preach thy word and seek the lost, Or do I feel it pain? 5 O Lord, if I am wrong, I will not grieve thee more By doubting thy great love and power To make and keep me pure.

Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #26 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme, Awake, my voice, and sing The mighty works or mightier name Of our eternal King. 2 Tell of his wondrous faithfulness, And sound his power abroad; Sing the sweet promise of his grace, The quickening word of God. 3 His every word of grace is strong As that which built the skies; The voice that rolls the stars along Speaks all the promises. 4 Now shall my fainting heart rejoice To know thy favour sure; I trust the all-creating voice, And faith desires no more.

Begone, unbelief

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #712 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Begone, unbelief, My Saviour is near, And for my relief Will surely appear; By prayer let me wrestle, And he will perform; With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. 2 Though dark be my way, Since he is my guide, ‘Tis mine to obey, ‘Tis his to provide; Though cisterns be broken And creatures all fail, The word he has spoken Will surely prevail. 3 His love in time past Forbids me to think He’ll leave me at last In trouble to sink; Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review Confirms his good pleasure To help me quite through. 4 Since all that I meet Shall work for my good, The bitter is sweet, The medicine food; Though painful at present, ‘Twill cease before long, And then O how pleasant The conqueror’s song!

Behold! behold the Lamb of God

Author: Richard Jukes (1804-67) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #107 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Behold! behold the Lamb of God, On the cross; For us he sheds his precious blood On the cross. O hear his all-important cry, Why perish, blood-bought sinner, why? Draw near and see your Saviour die On the cross. 2 Behold his arms extended wide On the cross; Behold his bleeding hands and side On the cross. The sun withholds his rays of light, The heavens are clothed in shades of night, While Jesus does with devils fight On the cross. 3 Come, sinners, see him lifted up On the cross; He drinks for you the bitter cup On the cross. The rocks do rend, the mountains quake, While Jesus doth atonement make, While Jesus suffers for our sake On the cross. 4 And now the mighty deed is done On the cross; The battle’s fought, the victory’s won On the cross. To Heaven he turns his dying eyes; ‘Tis finished! now the conqueror cries; Then bows his sacred head and dies On the cross. 5 Where’er I go I’ll tell the story Of the cross; In nothing else my soul shall glory Save the cross. Yes, this my constant theme shall be Through time and in eternity, That Jesus tasted death for me On the cross. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Atoning work Languages: English

It was for me, yes, even me

Author: George S. Smith Hymnal: SBSA1986 #108 (1986) First Line: Behold him now on yonder tree Lyrics: 1 Behold him now on yonder tree, The Prince of Peace, the heavenly King; O what can his transgression be Such shameful punishment to bring? And lo, a thief hangs on each side; Who justly suffers for his crime. But why should Christ be crucified, The one so holy, so divine? Refrain: It was for me, yes, even me, That Jesus died on Calvary; My soul to cleanse from all its guilt, His precious blood thy Saviour spilt. 2 O sinner, see, for you and me He freely suffers in our stead; And lo, he dies upon the tree; Behold, he bows his sacred head! So pure, yet he has borne our guilt, By death our ransom he has paid; It was for us his blood was spilt; Our every sin on him was laid. 3 O loving Saviour, take my heart, No longer can I live from thee! With all unlike thee now I part; Thy wondrous love has conquered me. I yield to thee my little all; Accept me now, Lord, as thine own; I’ll be obedient to thy call And spend my life for thee alone.

May I come in? 3 I would not plead with thee in vain; Remember all my grief and pain; I died to ransom thee from sin, May I come in? May I come in? 4 I bring thee joy from Heaven above, I bring thee pardon, peace and love; Say, weary heart, oppressed with sin, May I come in? May I come in?
