And Can It Be, That I Should Gain?
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 286 hymnals Topics: liturgical Songs of Response First Line: And can it be that I should gain Refrain First Line: Amazing love! How can it be Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain
An int'rest in the Savior's blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me?
Refrain:
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me!
2 'Tis mystery all! Th'Immortal dies!
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
To sound the depths of love divine!
'Tis mercy all! let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more. [Refrain]
3 He left His Father's throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace;
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam's helpless race;
'Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me. [Refrain]
4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature's night;
Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth and followed Thee. [Refrain]
5 No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach th'eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own. [Refrain]
Amen.

Trust and Obey
Author: John H. Sammis Meter: 6.6.9 D with refrain Appears in 441 hymnals Topics: liturgical Songs of Response First Line: When we walk with the Lord Refrain First Line: Trust and obey, for there's no other way Lyrics: 1 When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2 Not a burden we bear,
not a sorrow we share,
but our toil he doth richly repay;
not a grief or a loss,
not a frown or a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey. [Refrain]
3 But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]
4 Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we'll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go;
never fear, only trust and obey. [Refrain]

I'll ever adore thee in heaven so bright;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

The Saviour of Mankind,

Their Faces veil when they appear
Before the Son of Man.

By Love we are constrain'd
To offer our best Thanks to Thee,
Our Saviour, and our Friend!

Thy Love will not dispise
Our grateful Songs of humble Praise,
Our well-meant Sacrifice.

And spread abroad thy Fame:
Let ev'ry Heart with praise o'erflow,
And bless thy sacred Name!

By Men below,--by Hosts above,--
By all in Earth and Heav'n!

Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LIII (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response Lyrics: 1 Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King
When on the Cross the Saviour hung,
His Grace a dying Thief did bring,
To own him with his Heart and Tongue.
2 Our Malefactor scorn'd Christ's Name,
The other did his Sin reprove;
Then said by Faith to God's dear Lamb,
"Remember me O Lord above."
3 What noble Faith in him appear'd,
That he could trust a dying Lord!
He soon the blessed Jesus heard
pronounce this sweet reviving Word;
4 "Amen, this Day thy Soul shall be
"With me in Paradise above."
This made the dying Pris'ner free;
These Words were full of boundless Love.
5 What Comfort did this Speech convey,
To his poor guilty wretched Mind!
When thus he heard the Saviour say,
Great Peace the Criminal did find.
6 Thus Jesus Christ forgave the Thierf,
And shew'd great Mercy to the Man;
So in the midst of Woe and Grief,
His Joy and Happiness began.
7 O how he sings the Saviour's Praise,
Who took him at the very last,
When he his youthful Strength and Days
In Satan's Cause had spent and past!
8 Now he adores God's holy Name,
And stands before the Saviours Face;
And will eternally proclaim
The boundless Riches of his Grace! Scripture: Luke 23:39-43 Languages: English
Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King
Hugh Wilson
1766 - 1824 Person Name: Hugh Wilson (1766-1824) Topics: Our Response to Christ In Devotion; Our Response to Christ In Penitence Composer of "MARTYRDOM (FENWICK)" in Church Hymnary (4th ed.) Hugh Wilson (b. Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland, c. 1766; d. Duntocher, Scotland, 1824) learned the shoemaker trade from his father. He also studied music and mathematics and became proficient enough in various subjects to become a part-time teacher to the villagers. Around 1800, he moved to Pollokshaws to work in the cotton mills and later moved to Duntocher, where he became a draftsman in the local mill. He also made sundials and composed hymn tunes as a hobby. Wilson was a member of the Secession Church, which had separated from the Church of Scotland. He served as a manager and precentor in the church in Duntocher and helped found its first Sunday school. It is thought that he composed and adapted a number of psalm tunes, but only two have survived because he gave instructions shortly before his death that all his music manuscripts were to be destroyed.
