God's Mercy great and eternal

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #16 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: My soul, repeat his praise Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat his praise, Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And, when his wrath is felt, His strokes are fewer than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heav’ns are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His grace subdues our sins; And his forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove. 5 The pity of the Lord To those that fear his name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 6 Our days as are the grass, Or like the morning flower! If one sharp blast sweep o’er the field, It withers in an hour. 7 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children’s children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

Jehovah is the sov'reign God, The universal King. 2 He form'd the deeps unknown; He gave the seas their bound; The wat'ry worlds are all his own, And all the solid ground. 3 Come, worship at his throne; Come, bow before the Lord. We are his works, and not our own; He formed us by his word. 4 To day attend his voice, Nor dare provoke his rod; Come, like the people of his choice, And own your gracious God!

Nor let His mercies lie Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die. 3 'Tis He forgives thy sins; 'Tis He relieves thy pain; 'Tis He that heals thy sickness, And makes thee strength again. 4 He crowns thy life with love, When rescu'd from the grave; He, that redeem'd our souls from death, Hath boundless pow'r to save. 5 He fills the poor with good; He gives the suff'rers rest. The Lord hath justice for the proud, And mercy for th'oppressed. 6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known; But sent the world his truth and grace By his beloved Son.

Ah, how shall fallen man

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #63 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ah, how shall fallen man Be just before his God! If He contend in righteousness, We sink beneath his rod. 2 If he our ways should mark With strict inquiring eyes, Could we for one of thousand faults A just excuse devise. 3 All-seeing, powerful God! Who can with Thee contend? Or who that tries the unequal strife, Shall prosper in the end? 4 The mountains, in thy wrath, Their ancient seats forsake! The trembling earth deserts her place, Her rooted pillars shake! 5 Ah, how shall guilty man Contend with such a God? None, none can meet him, and escape; But through the Savior's blood.

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #76 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Ye saints, proclaim abroad Lyrics: 1 Ye saints, proclaim abroad The honors of your king; To Jesus your incarnate God, Your songs of praises sing. 2 Not angels round the throne Of majesty above, Are half so much oblig'd as we, To our Immanuel's love. 3 They never sunk so low, They are not rais'd so high: They never knew such depths of wo, Such heights of majesty. 4 The Savior did not join Their nature to His own: For them he shed no blood divine, Nor breathed a single groan. 5 May we with angels vie, The Savior to adore; Our debts are greater far than theirs, O be our praises more!

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.

O give me strength to speak thy praise, And grace to love thee more! 2 First for this world, so fair, My daily thanks shall rise; For ev'ry comfort, ev'ry joy, Thy bounteous hand supplies. 3 But yet a nobler cause Demands my warmest love. Can words describe the wond'rous gift Descending from above? 4 The Savior dwelt on earth; He died, that we might live; Endur'd the sorrows of the cross, Immortal hope to give. 5 Ah who can tell the scorn, The dear Redeemer bore? Or who describe the mental grief, Which his blest bosom tore? 6 Low in the grave he lay, While darkness veil'd the skies. But lo!--he bursts the bands of death; To glory see him rise! 7 Father! this work is thine; For us thou gav'st thy Son. O may we all devoted be, And live to thee alone!
