Jesus went about doing Good

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #81 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Behold, where in a mortal form Lyrics: 1 Behold, where in a mortal form Appears each grace divine! The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine. 2 To spread the rays of heav'nly light, To give the mourner joy; To preach glad tidings to the poor, Was his divine employ. 3 Lowly in heart, to all his friends A friend and servant found, He wash'd their feet, he wip'd their tears, And heal'd each bleeding wound. 4 'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn, Patient and meek he stood. His foes ungrateful, sought his life; He labour'd for their good. 5 To God he left his righteous cause; And still his task pursued; While humble pray'r and holy faith His fainting strength renew'd. 6 In the last hours of deep distress, Before his Father's throne, With soul resign'd he bow'd and said, "Thy will, not mine, be done!" 7 Be Christ our pattern and our guide! His image may we bear! O may we tread his holy steps, His joy and glory share! Topics: Christ His Mission and Works; Christ His Life and Example Languages: English

Forgiveness from the Example of Jesus

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #82 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: God of my mercy and my praise! Lyrics: 1 God of my mercy and my praise! Thy glory is my song; Though sinners speak against thy grace With a blaspheming tongue. 2 When in the form of mortal man Thy Son on earth was found, With cruel slanders, false and vain, They compass'd him around. 3 Their mis'ries his compassion mov'd; Their peace he still pursu'd; They render'd hatred for his love, And evil for his good. 4 Their malice rag'd without a cause; Yet with his dying breath He pray'd for murd'rers on his cross, And bless'd his foes in death. 5 O may his conduct, all-divine, To me a model prove! Like his, O God! my heart incline My enemies to love. Topics: Christ His Mission and Works; Christ His Life and Example Languages: English

Resignation from the Example of Jesus

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #83 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: "Father divine," the Savior cried Lyrics: 1 “Father divine!” the Savior cried, While horrors press'd on every side, And prostrate on the ground he lay, “Remove this bitter cup away. 2 “But if these pangs must still be borne, And stripes, and wounds, and cruel scorn, I bow my soul before thy throne, And say, Thy will, not mine, be done.” 3 Thus our submissive souls would bow, And, taught by Jesus, lie as low. Our hearts, and not our lips alone, Would say, "Thy will, not ours, be done." 4 Then, though like him in dust we lie, We'll view the blissful moment nigh, Which, from our portion in his pains, Calls to the joy in which he reigns.

Christian Example of Benevolence

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #84 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: And is the gospel peace and love? Lyrics: 1 And is the gospel peace and love? Such let our conversation be; The serpent blended with the dove, Wisdom and meek simplicity. 2 Whene'er the angry passions rise, And tempt our thoughts or tongues to strife On Jesus let us fix our eyes, Bright pattern of the Christian life. 3 O how benevolent and kind! How mild! how ready to forgive! Be this the temper of our mind, And these the rules by which we live. 4 To do his heav'nly Father's will, Was his employment and delight: Humility and holy zeal Shone thro' his life divinely bright. 5 Dispensing good where'er he came, The labors of his life were love. If then we love the Savior's name, Let his divine example move! Topics: Christ His Mission and Works; Christ His Life and Example Languages: English

The Passion of Christ

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #85 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Come, let our mournful songs record Lyrics: 1 Come, let our mournful songs record The dying sorrows of our Lord, When he expir'd in shame and blood, Like one forsaken of his God. 2 The Jews beheld him thus forlorn, And shook their heads, and laugh'd in scorn; "He rescu'd others from the grave; Now let him try himself to save." 3 O harden'd people! cruel priests! How they stood round like savage beasts! Like lions gaping to devour, When God had left him in their pow'r! 4 They wound his head, his hands, his feet, Till streams of blood each other meet: By lot his garments they divide, And mock the pangs in which he died. 5 But, gracious God! thy pow'r and love Have made his death a blessing prove. Tho' once upon the cross he bled, Immortal honors crown his head. 6 Thro' Christ the Son our guilt forgive, And let the mourning sinner live! The Lord will hear us in his name; Nor shall our hope be turn'd to shame. Topics: Christ His Mission and Works; Christ His Sufferings and Death Languages: English

The Love of a dying Savior

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #86 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Behold the Savior of mankind Lyrics: 1 Behold the Savior of mankind Nail'd to the shameful tree. How vast the love that him inclin'd To bleed and die for thee! 2 Hark, how he groans! while nature shakes, And earth's strong pillars bend! The temple's veil in sunder breaks, The solid marbles rend. 3 'Tis done! the precious ransom's paid: "Receive my soul!" he cries: See where he bows his sacred head! He bows his head and dies! 4 But soon He'll break death's envious chain, And in full glory shine. O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love like thine!

Christ our Substitute

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #87 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: 'Twas for our sake, eternal God Lyrics: 1 'Twas for our sake, eternal God, Thy Son sustain'd that heavy load Of base reproach and sore disgrace, And shame defil'd his sacred face. 2 The Jews, his brethren and his kin, Abus'd him when he check'd their sin; While he fulfill'd thy holy laws, They hate him, but without a cause. 3 Zeal for the temple of his God Consum'd his life, expos'd his blood; Reproaches at thy glory thrown He felt, and mourn'd them as his own. 4 His friends forsook, his followers fled, While foes and arms surround his head; They nail him to the shameful tree; There hung my Lord, who died for me. 5 But God his Father heard his cry; Rais'd from the dead, he reigns on high; The nations learn his righteousness, And humble sinners taste his grace.

Freedom in the Death of Jesus

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #88 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: And shall we still be slaves Lyrics: 1 And shall we still be slaves, And in our fetters lie, When summon'd by a voice divine T'assert our liberty? 2 Did Christ the Savior bleed, Our freedom to obtain? And shall we trample on his blood, And glory in our chain? 3 Shall we go on to sin, Because thy grace abounds; Or crucify the Lord again, And open all his wounds? 4 Forbid it, mighty God! Nor let it e'er be said, That those, for whom thy Son has died, In vice are lost and dead. 5 The man that durst despise The law that Moses brought, Behold! how terriby he dies For his presumptuous fault. 6 But sorer vengeance falls On that rebellious race, Who hate to hear when Jesus calls, And dare resist his grace.

Christ's dying Love; or, our Pardon bought at a dear price

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #89 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How condescending and how kind Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind Was God's eternal Son! Our misery reach'd his heavenly mind, And pity brought him down. 2 This was compassion like a God, That when the Savior knew The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne'er withdrew. 3 Now, though he reigns exalted high, His love is still as great: Well he remembers Calvary, Nor should his saints forget. 4 Here we behold his bowels roll And kind as when he died; And see the sorrows of his soul Bleed through his wounded side. 5 Here we receive repeated seals Of Jesus' dying love: Hard is the wretch that never feels One soft affection move. 6 Here let our hearts begin to melt, While we his death record, And with our joy for pardon'd guilt, Mourn that we pierc'd the Lord.
