Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #313 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss, And saves me from its snares; Its aid in ev'ry duty brings, And softens all my cares: 2 Extinguishes the thirst of sin, And lights the sacred fire Of love to God and heav'nly things, And feeds the pure desire. 3 The wounded conscience know its pow'r The healing balm to give; That balm the saddest heart can cheer, And make the dying live. 4 Wide it unveils celestial worlds, Where deathless pleasures reign; And bids me seek my portion there, Nor bids me seek in vain. 5 Shows me the precious promise seal'd With the Redeemer's blood; And helps my feeble hope to rest Upon a faithful God. 6 There, there unshaken would I rest, Till this vile body dies; And then on Faith's triumphant wings At once to glory rise.

Not all the blood of beasts

Scripture: John 1:29

Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes, That see this heav'nly light! Prophets and kings desir'd it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare his arm Thro' all the earth abroad; Let ev'ry nation now behold Their Saviour and their God.

Where shall the tribes of Adam find

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #335 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Where shall the tribes of Adam find The sovereign good to fill the mind? Ye sons of moral wisdom, show The spring whence living waters flow. 2 Say, will the stoic's flinty heart Melt, and this cordial juice impart? Could Plato find these blissful streams, Amongst his raptures and his dreams? 3 In vain I ask--for nature's power Extends but to this mortal hour: 'Twas but a poor relief she gave Against the terrors of the grave. 4 Jesus, our kinsman, and our God, Array'd in majesty and blood, Thou art our life! our souls in thee Possess a full felicity! 5 All our immortal hopes are laid, In thee our surety and our head; Thy cross, thy cradle, and thy throne, Are big with glories yet unknown. 6 Here let my soul for ever lie, Beneath the blessings of thine eye; 'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above, To see thy face, to taste thy love.

In songs of sublime adoration and praise

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #319 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The gracious nature of this salvation Lyrics: 1 In songs of sublime adoration and praise, Ye pilgrims, for Sion who press, Break forth and extol the great Ancient of days, His rich and unmerited grace. 2 His love from eternity for our race, Broke forth and discover'd its flame, And now with the cords of his kindness he draws, And brings us to love his great name. 3 O had he not pitied the state we were in, Our bosoms his love had ne'er felt: We all would have liv'd, would have died too in sin, And sunk with the load of our guilt. 4 What was there in man that could merit esteem, Or give the Creator delight? 'Twas "Even so, Father," we ever must sing, Because it seem'd good in thy sight. 5 Urged on by this grace, did the Saviour appear, The bearer of help from above, Now all who are thirsting may freely draw near, And drink in the streams of his love. 6 Then give all the glory to his holy name, To him all the glory belongs; Be ours the high joys still to sound forth his fame, And crown him in each of our songs. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4:7

O love divine, how sweet thou art!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #324 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet thou art! When shall I find my longing heart All taken up by Thee! I thirst, I faint, and die to prove The greatness of redeeming love, The love of Christ to me. 2 Stronger His love than death or hell, Its reaches are unsearchable; The first-born sons of light Desire in vain its depths to see, They cannot reach the mystery, The length, and breadth, and height. 3 O that I could forever sit, With Mary at the Master’s feet! Be this my happy choice, My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heaven on earth be this, To hear the Bridegroom’s voice. 4 O that I could with favour'd John Recline my weary head upon The dear Redeemer's breast! From care and sin, and sorrow free, Give me, O Lord, to find in Thee My everlasting rest. Scripture: Ephesians 3:17

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #326 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 O could I speak the matchless worth, O could I sound the glories forth Which in my Saviour shine, I'd soar and touch the heav'nly strings, And vie with Gabriel, while he sings In notes almost divine. 2 I'd sing the precious blood he spilt, My ransom from the dreadful guilt Of sin and wrath divine: I'd sing his glorious righteousness, In which all perfect heavenly dress My soul shall ever shine. 3 I'd sing the characters he bears, And all the forms of love he wears, Exalted on his throne: In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all his glories known. 4 Well, the delightful day will come, When my dear Lord will bring me home, And I shall see his face: Then with my Saviour, brother, friend, A blest eternity I'll spend, Triumphant in his grace. Scripture: Isaiah 35:2
