Grace! 'tis a charming sound

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 828 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Grace! ’tis a charming sound, Harmonious to the ear; Heav'n with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear. 2 Grace first contrived the way To save rebellious man; And all the steps that grace display Which drew the wondrous plan. 3 Grace first inscribed my name In God’s eternal book; ’Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb, Who all my sorrows took. 4 Grace led my roving feet To tread the heavenly road; And new supplies each hour I meet, While pressing on to God. 5 Grace taught my soul to pray, And made mine eyes o’erflow; ’Twas grace which kept me to this day, And will not let me go. 6 Grace all the work shall crown, Through everlasting days; It lays in heaven the topmost stone, And well deserves the praise.

I heard the voice of Jesus say

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,228 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon my breast!” I came to Jesus as I was, Weary and worn and sad; I found in Him in a resting-place, And He has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold, I freely give The living water; thirsty one, Stoop down, and drink, and live!” I came to Jesus and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived And now I live in Him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, “I am this dark world’s Light; Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright!” I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him my Star, my Sun; And in that Light of life I’ll walk, Till traveling days are done.

I lay my sins on Jesus

Meter: 7.6.8.1 Appears in 560 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I lay my sins on Jesus, The spotless Lamb of God; He bears them all and frees us From the accursed load.

I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I rest my soul on Jesus, This weary soul of mine; His right hand me embraces, I on His breast recline. I love the name of Jesus, Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; Like fragrance on the breezes His name abroad is poured. 4 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy child. I long to be with Jesus, Amid the heavenly throng, To sing with saints His praises, To learn the angels' song. Topics: Faith and Justification

Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness

Fully through these absolved I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 3 The holy, meek, unspotted Lamb, Who from the Father's bosom came, Who died for me, e'en me to atone, Now for my Lord and God I own. 4 Lord, I believe Thy precious blood Which at the mercy-seat of God Forever doth for sinners plead, For me--e'en for my soul--was shed. 5 Lord, I believe were sinners more Than sands upon the ocean shore, Thou hast for all a ransom paid, For all a full atonement made. 6 When from the dust of death I rise To claim my mansion in the skies, E'en then this shall be all my plea: Jesus hath lived, and died, for me. 7 Jesus, be endless praise to Thee, Whose boundless mercy hath for me, For me, and all Thy hands have made, An everlasting ransom paid.

Lamb of God, we fall before Thee

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee, Humbly trusting in Thy cross; That alone be all our glory, All things else are only dross. 2 Thee we own a perfect Savior, Only Source of all that's good. Every grace and every favor Come to us through Jesus' blood. 3 Jesus gives us true repentance, By His Spirit sent from heaven; Whispers this assuring sentence, "Son, thy sins are all forgiven." 4 Faith He grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts His love to prize; Want we wisdom?--He must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 5 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what He requires, Makes us follow His directions, And what He commands, inspires. 6 All our prayers, and all our praises, Rightly offered in His name,-- He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.

Lord, we confess our numerous faults

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 119 hymnals 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.

Now I have found the sure foundation

Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the sure foundation, Where evermore my anchor grounds! It lay there ere the world's creation, Where else, but in my Savior's wounds? Foundation, which unmoved shall stay, When earth and heaven pass away. 2 It is that mercy never ending, Which all conception far transcends, Of Him, who, with love's arms extending, To wretched sinners condescends; Whose heart with pity still doth break, Whether we seek Him, or forsake. 3 Our ruin God has not intended, Salvation He would fain bestow; For this the Son to earth descended, And then to heaven again did go; For this so loudly evermore He knocketh at our heart's closed door. 4 O depth of love, in which, past finding, My sins through Christ's blood disappear; This is for wounds the safest binding, There is no condemnation here; For Jesus' blood through earth and skies Forever Mercy! Mercy! cries. 5 I never will forget this crying, In faith I'll trust it all my days, And, when o'er all my sins I'm sighing, I towards my Father's heart will gaze; For there is always to be found Free mercy without end and bound. 6 Though I be robbed of every pleasure That soul and body can make glad, Bereft of every earthly treasure, Forlorn, forsaken, lone and sad: However far His help may be, Her mercy yet is left to me. 7 Though earthly cares and want oppress me, And cause me sorrow and regret That things so vain can still distress me, And give me so much trouble yet: Still in His mercy I will trust. Though I am bowed down to the dust, 8 Though in the best of all my actions, In works that are admired the most, I must perceive great imperfections, I surely have no right to boast; Yet this sweet comfort doth abide: In mercy only I confide. 9 Be it with me as He is willing, Whose mercy is a boundless sea; May He Himself my heart be stilling That this may ne'er forgotten be; Then it will rest, in joy and woe, On mercy, while it beats below. 10 On this foundation I unshrinking Will stand, while I on earth remain; This shall engage my acting, thinking, While I the breath of life retain; Then I will sing eternally, Unfathomed Mercy, still of Thee.

To Thee, O blessed Trinity, Be praise now and eternally! Topics: Faith and Justification
