Covered is my unrighteousness, Nor spot of guilt remains on me, While Jesus' blood, through earth and skies, Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries. 4 With faith I plunge me in this sea, Here is my hope, my joy, my rest; Hither, when hell assails, I flee, I look into my Saviour's breast; Away, sad doubt, and anxious fear! Mercy is all that's written there. 5 Though waves and storms go o'er my head, Though strength, and health, and friends be gone, Though joys be withered all and dead, Though every comfort be withdrawn, On this my steadfast soul relies Father, Thy mercy never dies. 6 Fixed on this ground will I remain, Though my heart fail, and flesh decay; This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth's foundations melt away; Mercy's full power I then shall prove, Loved with an everlasting love.

Author: Frederick W.

There is no place where earth's sorrows Are more felt than up in heav'n. There is no place where earth's failings Have such kindly judgment giv'n. 2 There is welcome for the sinner, And a promised grace made good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in his blood. There is grace enough for thousands Of new worlds as great as this; There is room for fresh creations In that upper home of bliss. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of our mind; And the heart of the eternal Is most wonderfully kind. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the head. 4 'Tis not all we owe to Jesus; It is something more than all: Greater good because of evil, Larger mercy through the fall. If our love were but more simple, We should take him at his word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: LORD, REVIVE US

Salvation unto Us Has Come

Author: Paul Speratus, 1484-1551 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #297 (1978) 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 our mediator. 2 Theirs was a false, misleading dream Who thought God's law was given That sinners might 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. 3 And yet the Law fulfilled must be, Or we were lost forever; Therefore God sent his Son that he Might us from death deliver. He all the Law for us fulfilled, And thus his Father's anger stilled Which over us impended. 4 Faith clings to Jesus' cross alone And rests in him unceasing; And by its fruits true faith is known, With love and hope increasing. For faith alone can justify; Works serve our neighbor and supply The proof that faith is living. 5 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 we hallow. Languages: English Tune Title: ES IS DAS HEIL

One There Is, above All Others

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #298 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 One there is, above all others, Well deserves the name of friend; His is love beyond a brother’s, Costly, free, and knows no end: They who once his kindness prove Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But this Savior died to have us Reconciled in him to God: This was boundless love indeed; Jesus is the friend we need. 3 When he lived on earth, they scorned him; "Friend of sinners" was his name. Though the angels have adored him, Still he answers to that claim; Still he calls them dearest friends And to all their needs attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love. We, alas! forget too often, What a Friend we have above: But, when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought.

Proclaim the wonders God has done, How his right arm the vict'ry won, What price our ransom cost him! 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay, Death brooded darkly o'er me, Sin was my torment night and day; In sin my mother bore me. But daily deeper still I fell; My life became a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 My own good works all came to naught, No grace or merit gaining; Free will against God's judgment fought, Dead to all good remaining. My fears increased till sheer despair Left only death to be my share; The pangs of hell I suffered. 4 But God had seen my wretched state Before the world's foundation, And, mindful of his mercies great, He planned for my salvation. He turned to me a father's heart; He did not choose the easy part, But gave his dearest treasure. 5 God said to his beloved Son: "Tis time to have compassion. Then go, bright jewel of my crown, And bring to all salvation; From sin and sorrow set them free; Slay bitter death for them that they May live with you forever." 6 The Son obeyed His Father's will, Was born of virgin mother; And, God's good pleasure to fulfill, He came to be my brother. His royal pow'r disguised he bore, A servant's form, like mine, he wore, To lead the devil captive. 7 To me he said: "Stay close to me, I am your rock and castle. Your ransom I myself will be; For you I strive and wrestle; For I am yours, and you are mine, And where I am you may remain; The foe shall not divide us. 8 "Though he will shed my precious blood, Of life me thus bereaving, All this I suffer for your good; Be steadfast and believing. Life will from death the vict'ry win; My innocence shall bear your sin; And you are blest forever. 9 "Now to my Father I depart, From earth to heav'n ascending, And, heav'nly wisdom to impart, The Holy Spirit sending; In trouble he will comfort you And teach you always to be true And into truth shall guide you. 10 "What I on earth have done and taught, Guide all your life and teaching; So shall the kingdom's work be wrought And honored in your preaching. But watch lest foes with base alloy The heav'nly treasure should destroy; This final word I leave you." Languages: English Tune Title: NUN FREUT EUCH

Health this fountain will restore; Those who drink shall thirst no more. 3 Those who drink shall live forever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood.

Let Thy good Spirit be my guide To the bright realms of endless day. 4 The various forms that men devise To shake my faith with treach'rous art, I scorn as vanity and lies, And bind Thy Gospel to my heart.
