Holiness, Justice and Mercy united

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #116 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him First Line: Infinite grace! and can it be Lyrics: 1 Infinite grace! and can it be That heaven's Supreme should stoop so low! To visit one so vile as I, One who has been his bitt'rest foe! 2 Can holiness and wisdom join, With truth, with justice, and with grace, To make eternal blessings mine, And sin, with all its guilt erase? 3 O love! beyond conception great, That form'd the vast, stupendous plan! Where all divine perfections meet To reconcile rebellious man! 4 There wisdom shines in fullest blaze, And justice all her rights maintains! Astonish'd angels stoop to gaze, While mercy o'er the guilty reigns. 5 Yes, mercy reigns, and justice too-- In Christ harmoniously they meet: He paid to justice all her due, And now he fills the mercy-seat. 6 Such are the wonders of our God, And such th'amazing depths of grace, To save from wrath's vindictive rod, The sons of Adam's fallen race. 7 With grateful songs, then let our souls Surround our gracious Father's throne; And all between the distant poles His truth and mercy ever own.

Christ the eternal Life

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #117 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him First Line: Where shall the tribes of Adam find Lyrics: 1 Where shall the tribes of Adam find The sovereign good to fill the mind? Ye sons of moral wisdom, show The spring whence living waters flow. 2 Say, will the stoic's flinty heart Melt, and this cordial juice impart? Could Plato find these blissful streams, Amongst his raptures and his dreams? 3 In vain I ask--for nature's power Extends but to this mortal hour: 'Twas but a poor relief she gave Against the terrors of the grave. 4 Jesus, our kinsman, and our God, Array'd in majesty and blood, Thou art our life! our souls in thee Possess a full felicity! 5 All our immortal hopes are laid, In thee our surety and our head; Thy cross, thy cradle, and thy throne, Are big with glories yet unknown. 6 Here let my soul forever lie, Beneath the blessings of thine eye; 'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above, To see thy face, to taste thy love.

Thee we own a perfect Savior, Only source of all that's good. Every grace and every favor Comes to us through Jesus' blood. 2 Jesus gives us true repentance, By his Spirit sent from heaven; Whispers this transporting sentence, "Son, thy sins are now forgiven." Faith he grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts his love to prize; Want we wisdom? he will give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 3 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what he requires; Makes us follow his directions, And what he commands--inspires. All our prayers, and all our praises, Rightly offer'd in his name, He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same. Languages: English

O thou God of my salvation

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #122 (1845) Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him Lyrics: 1 O thou God of my salvation, My Redeemer from all sin, Mov'd to this by great compassion, Yearning bowels from within; I will praise thee: Where shall I thy praise begin? 2 While the angel-choirs are crying Glory to the great I AM; I with them will still be vying, Glory, glory, to the Lamb! O how precious Is the sound of Jesus’ name! 3 Now I see, with joy and wonder, Whence the healing streams arose; Angels-minds are lost to ponder Dying love's mysterious cause; Yet the blessing, Down to all, to me it flows. 4 Though unseen, I love the Savior, He almighty grace hath shown; Pardon'd guilt, and purchas'd favor! This he makes to mortals known, Give him glory, Glory, glory is his own. 5 Angels now are hov'ring round us, Unperceiv'd they mix the throng, Wond'ring at the love that crown'd us, Glad to sing the holy song: Hallelujah, Love and praise to Christ belong.

Praise to the Redeemer

He ran to our relief. 3 Down from the shining seats above With joyful haste he fled, Enter'd the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead. 4 He spoil'd the powers of darkness thus, And brake our iron chains; Jesus hath freed our captive souls From everlasting pains. 5 In vain the baffled prince of hell His cursed projects tries, We that were doom'd his endless slaves Are raised above the skies. 6 O for this love, let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Savior’s praises speak. 7 Angels, assist our mighty joys, Strike all your harps of gold; But when you raise your highest notes His love can ne’er be told.

Mortals! join the host above, Join to praise redeeming love. Languages: English
