Now I Have Found the Firm Foundation
Author: Johann A. Rothe, 1688-1758 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #386 (1993) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the firm foundation
Which holds my life forever sure;
'Twas laid before the world's creation
In Christ my Savior's wounds secure,
Foundation which unmoved shall stay
When heav'n and earth will pass away.
2 It is that mercy never ending,
Which human wisdom far transcends,
Of him who, loving arms extending,
To wretched sinners condescends.
His heart with pity still will break
Whether we seek him or forsake.
3 Our ruin God has not intended;
For our salvation he has yearned.
For this his Son to earth descended
And then again to heav'n returned;
For this so patient evermore
He's knocking at our heart's closed door.
4 O depth of love, to me revealing
The sea where my sins disappear!
In Christ my wounds find perfect healing;
There is no condemnation here!
For Jesus' blood through earth and skies
Forever "Mercy! Mercy!" cries.
5 Let mercy cause me to be willing
To bear my lot and not to fret.
While he my restless heart is stilling,
May I this mercy not forget!
Whatever comes my heart to test,
His mercy is my only rest.
6 Lord, I will stand on this foundation
As long as I on earth remain;
This will engage my meditation
While I the breath of life retain.
And then, when face to face with you,
I'll sing your mercy great and true. Languages: English Tune Title: O DASS ICH TAUSEND ZUNGEN HÄTTE (KÖNIG)

For cleansing through your cross and pain,
Christ crucified, I come.

Redeemed, Restored, Forgiven
Author: Henry W. Baker, 1821-77 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #388 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 Redeemed, restored, forgiven
Through Jesus' precious blood,
Heirs of his home in heaven --
Oh, praise our pard'ning God!
Praise him in tuneful measures
Who gave his Son to die;
Praise him whose sev'nfold treasures
Enrich and sanctify.
2 Once on the dreary mountain
We wandered far and wide,
Far from the cleansing fountain,
Far from the pierced side.
But Jesus sought and found us;
Our many sins he bore.
With cords of love he bound us
To him forevermore.
3 Dear Master, yours the glory
Of each recovered soul.
Ah, who can tell the story
Of love that made us whole?
Not ours, not ours the merit;
To you alone the praise!
Give us a thankful spirit
To serve you all our days.
4 Now keep us, holy Savior,
In your true love and fear,
And grant us by your favor
The grace to persevere
Till, in your new creation,
Our earthly troubles o'er,
Heirs of your free salvation,
We praise you evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: KUORTANE

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me
Author: Augustus M. Toplady, 1740-78 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #389 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee;
Let the water and the blood
From thy riven side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure:
Cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r.
2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill thy law's demands.
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to thee for dress,
Helpless, look to thee for grace.
Foul, I to the fountain fly --
Wash me, Savior, or I die!
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee! Languages: English Tune Title: TOPLADY

Salvation unto Us Has Come
Author: Paul Speratus, 1484-1551 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #390 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 Salvation unto us has come
By God's free grace and favor.
Good works cannot avert our doom;
They help and save us never.
Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone,
Who did for all the world atone;
He is the one Redeemer.
2 What God does in his law demand
And none to him can render
Brings wrath and woe on ev'ry hand
For man, the vile offender.
Our flesh has not those pure desires
The spirit of the law requires,
And lost is our condition.
3 It is a false, misleading dream
That God his law has given
That sinners can themselves redeem
And by their works gain heaven.
The law is but a mirror bright
To bring the inbred sin to light
That lurks within our nature.
4 Yet as the law must be fulfilled
Or we must die despairing,
Christ came and has God's anger stilled,
Our human nature sharing.
He has for us the law obeyed
And thus the Father's vengeance stayed
Which over us impended.
5 Since Christ has full atonement made
And brought to us salvation,
Each Christian therefore may be glad
And build on this foundation.
Your grace alone, dear Lord, I plead;
Your death is now my life indeed,
For you have paid my ransom.
6 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise
To Father, Son, and Spirit,
The God who saved us by his grace--
All glory to his merit!
O Triune God in heav'n above,
You have revealed your saving love;
Your blessed name be hallowed! Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST DAS HEIL

God Loved the World So that He Gave
Author: August Crull, 1845-1923 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #391 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 God loved the world so that he gave
His only Son the lost to save
That all who would in him believe
Should everlasting life receive.
2 Christ is the solid rock of faith,
Who was made flesh and suffered death.
All who confide in him alone
Are built on this chief cornerstone.
3 God would not have the sinner die--
His Son with saving grace is nigh.
His Spirit in the Word does teach
How we the blessed goal may reach.
4 Be of good cheer, for God's own Son
Forgives the sins that you have done.
You're justified by Jesus' blood;
Baptized, you are a child of God.
5 When you are sick, when death draws near,
This truth your troubled heart can cheer:
Christ Jesus saves my soul from death--
This is the anchor of my faith!
6 Glory to God the Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One!
To you, O blessed Trinity,
Be praise now and eternally! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CRISPIN

If Your Beloved Son, O God
Author: Johann Heermann, 1585-1647 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #393 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 If your beloved Son, O God,
Had not to earth descended
And in our mortal flesh and blood
Had not sin's power ended,
Then this poor, wretched soul of mine
In hell eternally would pine
Because of my transgression.
2 But now I find sweet peace and rest;
Despair no more reigns o'er me.
No more am I by sin oppressed,
For Christ has borne sin for me.
Upon the cross for me he died
That, reconciled, I might abide
With you, my God, forever.
3 I trust in him with all my heart;
Now all my sorrow ceases.
His words abiding peace impart;
His blood from guilt releases.
Free grace through him I now obtain;
He washes me from ev'ry stain,
And pure I stand before him.
4 All righteousness by works is vain;
The law brings condemnation.
True righteousness by faith I gain;
Christ's work is my salvation.
His death, that perfect sacrifice,
Has paid the all-sufficient price;
In him my hope is anchored.
5 My guilt, O Father, you have laid
On Christ, your Son, my Savior.
Lord Jesus, you my debt have paid
And gained for me God's favor.
O Holy Spirit, Fount of grace,
The good in me to you I trace;
In faith and hope preserve me. Languages: English Tune Title: NUN FREUT EUCH, LIEBEN CHRISTEN

Blessed Are the Saints of God

They are bought with Christ's own blood.
They are ransomed from the grave;
Life eternal they shall have.
With them numbered may we be

2 They are justified by grace;
They enjoy the Savior's peace.
All their sins are washed away;
They shall stand in God's great day.
With them numbered may we be
Here and in eternity.
3 They are lights upon the earth,
Children of a heav'nly birth.
One with God, with Jesus one,
Glory is in them begun.
With them numbered may we be
Here and in eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: VOLLER WUNDER
