A Charge to Keep I Have

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: HTLG2017 #294 (2017) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have, a God to glorify, a never dying soul to save, and fit it for the sky. 2 To serve the present age, my calling to fulfill, O may it all my pow'rs engage to do my Master's will! 3 Arm me with watchful care as in Thy sight to live, and now Thy servant, Lord, prepare a strict account to give! 4 Help me to watch and pray, and still on Thee rely, O let me not my trust betray, but press to realms on high.

A Debtor to Mercy Alone

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Hymnal: HTLG2017 #86 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A debtor to mercy alone, of covenant mercy I sing; nor fear, with Your righteousness on, my person and off'ring to bring. The terrors of law and of God with me can have nothing to do; my Savior's obedience and blood hide all my transgressions from view. 2 The work which His goodness began, the arm of His strength will complete; His promise is yea and amen, and never was forfeited yet. Things future, nor things that are now, nor all things below or above, can make Him His purpose forgo, or sever my soul from His love. 3 My name from the palms of His hands eternity will not erase; impressed on His heart it remains, in marks of indelible grace. Yes, I to the end shall endure, as sure as the earnest is giv'n; more happy, but not more secure, the glorified spirits in heav'n. Topics: Repentance and Faith Languages: English Tune Title: TREWEN

A Good High Priest Is Come

Author: John Cennick Hymnal: HTLG2017 #215 (2017) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A good High Priest is come, supplying Aaron's place, and taking up his room, dispensing life and grace; the law by Aaron's priesthood came, but grace and truth by Jesus' name. 2 He once temptations knew of every sort and kind, that He might succor show to ev'ry tempted mind; in ev'ry point the Lamb was tried like us, and then for us He died. 3 He died, but lives again, and by the throne He stands, there shows how He was slain, op'ning His piercèd hands; our Priest abides and pleads the cause of us who have transgressed His laws. 4 I other priests disclaim, and laws and off'rings too; none but the bleeding Lamb the mighty work can do; He shall have all the praise: for He has loved, and died, and lives for me.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Hymnal: HTLG2017 #302 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe does seek to work us woe; his craft and pow'r are great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing. You ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; LORD Sabaoth His name, from age to age the same; and He must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God has willed His truth to triumph through us. The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure; one little word shall fell him. 4 That Word above all earthly pow'rs no thanks to them abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours thro' Him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still; His kingdom is forever.

Abide with Me

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: HTLG2017 #328 (2017) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Abide with me: fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away. Change and decay in all around I see. O Thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence ev'ry passing hour; what but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like Thyself my Guide and Stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee. In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

Ah, Holy Jesus

Author: Johann Heermann; Robert Bridges Hymnal: HTLG2017 #156 (2017) Meter: 11.11.11.5 First Line: Ah, holy Jesus, how have You offended Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how have You offended, that mortal judgment has on You descended? By foes derided, by Your own rejected, O most afflicted! 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon You? Alas, my treason, Jesus, has undone You! 'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied You; I crucified You. 3 Lo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; the slave has sinnèd, and the Son has suffered. For our atonement, while we nothing heeded, God interceded. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was Your incarnation, Your mortal sorrow, and Your life's oblation; Your death of anguish and Your bitter passion, for my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay You, I do adore You, and will ever pray You, think on Your pity and Your love unswerving, not my deserving.

Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed?

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: HTLG2017 #149 (2017) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas, and did my Savior bleed? And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head for such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, and love beyond degree! 3 well might the sun in darkness hide and shut his glories in, when Christ, the mighty Maker died for man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face while His dear cross appears, dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe; here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do.
