Forgiveness! 'tis a joyful sound

Author: Dr. Gibbons Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXXVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Pardon Lyrics: 1 Forgiveness! 'tis a joyful sound To malefactors doom'd to die; Publish the bliss the world around; Ye seraphs, shout it from the sky! 2 'Tis the rich gift of love divine; 'Tis, full, out-measuring every crime; Unclouded shall its glories shine, And fee no change, by changing time. 3 O'er sins unnumber'd as the sand, And like the mountains for their size, The seas of sovereign grace expand, The seas of sovereign grace arise. 4 For this stupendous love of heaven What grateful honors shall we show? Where much transgression is forgiven Let love in equal ardors glow. 5 By this inspir'd, let all our days With various holiness be crown'd, Let truth and goodness, prayer and praise In all abide, in all abound. Scripture: Luke 7:47 Languages: English

For more of thy mind, and thine image we pant; Thine image impress On thy favorite race, O fashion and polish thy vessels of grace. 7 Thy workmanship we More fully would be, Lord, stretch out thy hand and conform us to thee; While outward we move To Canaan above, Come fill us with holiness, fill us with love. 8 Vouchsafe us to know More of thee below Thus fit us for heaven, and glory bestow Our harps shall be tun'd, The Lamb shall be crown'd; Salvation to Jesus thro' heaven shall resound.

'Twas "even so, Father," you ever must sing, "Because it seem'd good in thy sight." 5 'Twas all of thy grace we were bro't to obey While others were suffer'd to go, The road which by nature we chose as our way, Which leads to the regions of woe. 6 Then give all the glory to his holy name; To him all the glory belongs; Be yours the high joys still to sound forth his fame, And crown him in each of your songs.
