In vain would boasting reason find

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #315 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 In vain would boating reason find The path to happiness and God; Her weak directions leave the mind Bewilder'd in a doubtful road. 2 Jesus, thy words alone impart Eternal life; on these I live; Diviner comforts cheer my heart Than all the pow'rs of nature give. 3 Here let my constant feet abide; Thou art the true, the living way: 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.

Lamb of God, we fall before thee

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #336 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before thee, Humbly trusting in thy cross; That alone be all our glory, All things else are only dross. Thee we own a perfect Saviour, Only source of all that's good. Every grace and every favour 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 must 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.

O God, to whom in flesh reveal'd

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #308 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 O God, to whom in flesh reveal'd The helpless all for succour came; The sick to be reliev'd and heal'd, And found salvation in thy name. 2 With publicans and harlots I, In these thy Spirit's gospel days, To thee, the sinner's friend, draw nigh, And humbly sue for saving grace. 3 Thou seest me helpless and distressed, Feeble, and faint, and blind, and poor; Weary I come to thee for rest, And sick of sin implore a cure. 4 My sin's incurable disease, Thou, Jesus, thou alone canst heal; Inspire me with thy power and peace, And pardon on my conscience seal. 5 A touch, a word, a look from thee, Can turn my heart and make it clean; Purge the foul inbred leprosy, And save me from my bosom-sin. 6 Lord, if thou wilt, I do believe, Thou canst the saving grace impart; Thou canst this instant now forgive, And stamp thine image on my heart. 7 My heart, which now to thee I raise, I know thou canst this moment cleanse; The deepest stains of sin efface, And drive the evil spirit hence. 8 Be it according to thy word! Accomplish now thy work in me; And let my soul, to health restor'd, Devote its little all to thee!

What mean these jealousies and fears?

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #309 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 What mean these jealousies and fears? As if the Lord was loath to save, Or lov'd to see us drench'd in tears, Or sink with sorrow to the grave. 2 Does he want slaves to grace his throne? Or rules he by an iron rod? Loves he the deep despairing groan? Is he a tyrant, or a God? 3 Not all the sins which we have wrought, So much his tender bowels grieve, As this unkind injurious thought, That he's unwilling to forgive. 4 What though our crimes are black as night, Or glowing like the crimson morn, Immanuel's blood will make them white As now through the pure ether borne. 5 Lord, 'tis amazing grace we own, And well may rebel worms surprise; But, was not thy incarnate Son A most amazing sacrifice? 6 "I've found a ransom," saith the Lord, "No humble penitent shall die?" Lord, we would now believe thy word, And thy unbounded mercies try!

Scripture: Ephesians 2:5

The joy of earth and heaven; No other help is found, No other name is given, By which we can salvation have, But Jesus came to world to save. 3 Jesus! harmonious name! It charms the host above; They evermore proclaim, And wonder at his love; 'Tis all their happiness to gaze, 'Tis heaven to see our Jesus' face. 4 Stung by the scorpion sin, My poor expiring soul The balmy sound drinks in, And is at once made whole: See there my Lord upon the tree! I hear, I feel he died for me. 5 O unexampled love! O all-redeeming grace! How swiftly didst thou move To save a fallen race. What shall I do to make it known, What thou for all mankind hast done? 6 O for a trumpet voice, On all the world to call; To bid their hearts rejoice In him who died for all! For all my Lord was crucified! For all, for all my Saviour died. 7 To serve thy blessed will, Thy dying love to praise, Thy counsel to fulfil, And minister thy grace, Freely what I receive to give, The life of heaven on earth I live.

O may our grateful hearts adore The matchless grace; nor yield to sin, Nor wear its cruel fetters more! Scripture: 1 Peter 1:18
