I'll speak forth the love of my Lord

Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #581 (1844) Topics: Salvation and Free Grace Lyrics: 1 I’ll speak forth the love of my Lord, His praises my tongue shall employ; He bought me with his precious blood, Nor Gabriel is loved more than I; Though pure, he for me was made sin; Though rich, he for me became poor; Though free, yet a debtor brought in; For me he has paid the long score. 2 [These truths to my heart he proclaimed, When helpless I stood and distressed, When I at the bar was arraigned, With law, sin, and terrors oppressed. No hand to my help did appear; The witness against me was true; Which filled me with horror and fear, Till Jesus, my Lord, came in view.] 3 He saw me distressed, and he said, “Fear not, I procured thy discharge; I’m Jesus, who lives, and was dead, And now will I set thee at large.” Not one in the court did object, But all gave a smile when he spoke; He then took the yoke off my neck, And ravished my soul with his look. 4 What joy filled my soul, who can tell? But surely I ne’er shall forget; My Jesus has all things done well, And therefore his love I’ll repeat. To him all the glory belongs; My soul shall speak well of his name; He now is the theme of my songs, And shall be for ever the same. Scripture: John 14:21 Languages: English

Amen! we’ll bless his name; And when we have immortal tongues, We’ll still repeat the same. Languages: English

From sin and Satan set me free? Then I’m completely blest. 4 Source of delight! Fountain of bliss! In thee I all things do possess; My treasure is divine; With holy wonder I adore The God who thus does bless the poor, And make their faces shine. Languages: English

Some souls are fifty pieces deep, And some five hundred owe. 5 But let our debts be what they may, However great or small, As soon as we have nought to pay, Our Lord forgives us all. 6 ’Tis perfect poverty alone That sets the soul at large; While we can call one mite our own, We have no full discharge.

No prophet, nor dreamer of dreams

Author: Hart Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #220 (1844) Topics: Salvation and Free Grace Lyrics: 1 No prophet, or dreamer of dreams, No master of plausible speech, To live like an angel who seems, Or like an apostle to preach; No tempter, without or within, No spirit, though ever so bright, That comes crying out against sin, And looks like an angel of light; 2 Though reason, though fitness he urge, Or plead with the words of a friend, Or wonders of argument forge, Or deep revelations pretend; Should meet with a moment’s regard, But rather be boldly withstood, If anything, easy or hard, He teach, save the Lamb and his blood. 3 [Remember, O Christian, with heed, When sunk under sentence of death, How first thou from bondage wast freed – Say, was it by works, or by faith? On Christ thy affections then fixed, What conjugal truth didst thou vow? With him was there anything mixed? Then what would’st thou mix with him now? 4 If close to thy Lord thou would’st cleave, Depend on his promise alone; His righteousness would’st thou receive? Then learn to renounce all thy own. The faith of a Christian, indeed, Is more than mere notion or whim; United to Jesus, his Head, He draws life and virtue from him.] 5 [Deceived by the father of lies, Blind guides cry, Lo, here! and, Lo, there! By these our Redeemer us tries, And warns us of such to beware. Poor comfort to mourners they give Who set us to labour in vain; And strive, with a “Do this and live,” To drive us to Egypt again.] 6 But what says our Shepherd divine? (For his blessed word we should keep) “This flock has my Father made mine; I lay down my life for my sheep; ’Tis life everlasting I give; My blood was the price my sheep cost; Not one that on me shall believe Shall ever be finally lost.” 7 This God is the God we adore Our faithful, unchangeable Friend; Whose love is as large as his power, And neither knows measure nor end. ’Tis Jesus, the First and the Last, Whose Spirit shall guide us safe home: We’ll praise him for all that is past, And trust him for all that’s to come.
