What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,

Lo! a spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.

Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.

God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #478 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Way of Salvation Sanctification Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sov'reign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take:
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning Providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His works in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
Amen.

Of the portion that He gave me.

Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

who can explore his strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine.
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
let angel minds inquire no more. [Refrain]

humbled himself (so great his love!)

'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
for, O my God, it found out me! [Refrain]

fast bound in sin and nature's night;
thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray;
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
my chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth, and followed thee. [Refrain]

Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,

and come for sinful man to die,
you count it strange? So once did I,
before I knew my Savior!
4 And oh, that he fulfilled may see
the travail of his soul in me,
and with his work contented be,
as I with my dear Savior!

my strength, my solace from this spring;
that he who lives to be my King
once died to be my Savior.

By faith shall ye be justified,
And blest with His free Spirit.
His righteousness the just shall own

Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice
Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #433 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God hath done,
How His right arm the vict'ry won;
Right dearly it hath 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;
Still deeper in despair I fell,
Life had become a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3 Then God beheld my wretched state
With deep commiseration;
He thought upon His mercy great,
And willed my soul's salvation;
He turned to me a Father's heart;
Not small the cost! to heal my smart,
He gave His best and dearest.
4 He spoke to His belovèd Son:
"'Tis time to have compassion:
Then go, bright Jewel of My crown,
And bring to man salvation;
From sin and sorrow set him free,
Slay bitter death for him, that he
May live with Thee forever."
5 The Son obeyed Him cheerfully,
And born of virgin mother,
Came down upon the earth to me,
That He might be my brother:
His mighty power doth work unseen,
He came in fashion poor and mean,
And took the devil captive.
6 We thank Thee, Lord, for boundless grace,
And sing Thy praise forever,
For granting us in dire distress
Thine everlasting favor.
Both death and hell were stricken down,
When Thou didst for our sins atone,
O Jesus, blessèd Saviour.
Amen.

which we in Christ possess!
We are redeemed from guilt and shame
and called to holiness.
But not for works which we have done,
or shall hereafter do,
hath God decreed on sinful men
salvation to bestow.
2 The glory, Lord, from first to last,
is due to thee alone;
aught to ourselves we dare not take,
or rob thee of thy crown.
Our glorious Surety undertook
to satisfy for man,
and grace was given us in him
before the world began.
3 This is thy will, that in thy love
we ever should abide;
that earth and hell should not prevail
to turn thy word aside.
Not one of all the chosen race
but shall to heav'n attain,
partake on earth the purposed grace
and then with Jesus reign.

2 Thou on the Lord rely,
So safe shalt thou go on;
Fix on His work thy steadfast eye,
So shall thy work be done.
No profit canst Thou gain
By self-consuming care;
To Him commend thy cause; His ear
Attends the softest prayer.
3 Thy everlasting truth,
Father, Thy ceaseless love,
Sees all Thy children’s wants, and knows
What best for each will prove.
And whatsoe'er Thou will'st,
Thou dost, O King of kings!
What Thine unerring wisdom chose,
Thy power to being brings.
4 Thou everywhere hast sway,
And all things serve Thy might;
Thy every act pure blessing is,
Thy path unsullied light.
When Thou arisest, Lord,
What shall Thy work withstand?
When all Thy children want Thou giv’st,
Who, who shall stay Thy hand?

When guilt of sin oppresses,
When anguish and remorse
My burdened soul distresses;
I come before Thy throne,
O God, in Jesus' Name;
Thy mercy, love, and truth
Forever are the same.
2 I know in Whom I trust
When, troubled and dejected,
I lack the strength to go
The way of God selected'
To Jesus then I pray
With a repentant mind,
And strength of holiness
I through His Spirit find.
3 I know in Whom I trust
When worldly pomp and splendor
Would lure my heart away,
For He is my Defender.
I hear His warning voice,
I feel His loving hand;
Temptations and deceits
With Him I thus withstand.
4 I know in Whom I trust
When peace and joy forsake me,
When fain my heart would break,
And sorrows overtake me.
The suffering of my Lord,
His anguish, pain, and woe
Remind me of the way
We after Him must go.
5 I know in Whom I trust
When evening shadows lengthen,
When death stands at the door,--
For Christ is there to strengthen.
He died upon the cross
To conquer death and hell;
A Conqueror He rose,
And all with us is well.
6 I know in Whom I trust;
I praise Him and adore Him;
By works I show my faith;
My heart I lay before Him;
Not only crying, "Lord!"
I take Him as my Guide,
And thus in life and death
In Him alone abide.

How Happy Is the Man Who Hears
Author: Michael Bruce Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #483 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Way of Salvation Sanctification Lyrics: 1 How happy is the man who hears
Instruction’s warning voice,
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early, only choice!
His early, only choice!
2 For she has treasures greater far
Than East or West unfold;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold,
Than all their stores of gold.
3 She guides the young with innocence
In happy paths to tread;
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head,
Upon the hoary head.
4 According as her labors rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace,
And all her paths are peace.

If God Himself Be for Me
Author: Paul Gerhardt; Richard Massie Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #473 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Way of Salvation Sanctification Lyrics: 1 If God Himself be for me,
I may a host defy;
For when I pray, before me
My foes confounded fly.
If Christ, the Head, befriend me,
If God be my support,
The mischief they intend me
Shall quickly come to naught.
2 I build on this foundation,
That Jesus and His Blood
Alone are my Salvation,
The true Eternal Good;
Without Him, all that pleases
Is valueless on earth;
The gifts I owe to Jesus
Alone my love are worth.
3 His Holy Spirit dwelleth
Within my willing heart,
Tames it when it rebelleth,
And soothes the keenest smart.
He crowns His work with blessing,
And helpeth me to cry
"My Father." without ceasing,
To Him who reigns on high.
4 To mine His Spirit speaketh
Sweet words of soothing power,
How God for Him that seeketh
For rest hath rest in store;
How God Himself prepareth
My heritage and lot,
And, though my body weareth,
My heaven shall fail me not.
Amen.

salvation, peace and love,
true joy on earth below,
a home in heav'n above.

returning to his fold;
his arm will safely keep,
his love will ne'er grow cold.

Their sweetness who can tell?
In time and to eternal days,
"’Tis with the righteous well."
2 In every state secure,
Kept by Jehovah’s eye,
’Tis well with them while life endure,
And well when called to die.
3 ’Tis well when joys arise;
’Tis well when sorrows flow;
’Tis well when darkness veils the skies,
And strong temptations blow.
4 ’Tis well when on the mount
They feast on dying Love:
And ’tis as well in God’s account,
When they the furnace prove.
5 'Tis well when Jesus calls,
"From earth and sin arise,
Join with the hosts of ransomed souls,
Made to salvation wise."

Awake! the Watchman Crieth
Author: Frans Mikael Franzen; Augustus Nelson Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #395 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Way of Salvation Invitation to Repentance Lyrics: 1 Awake! the watchman crieth,
On Zion's ramparts still!
The Lord His grace supplieth,
Repent, and heed His will.
Life's journey fast is nearing
The ever-lasting shore;
The hour of death appearing,
When time shall be no more.
2 Too late the sinners waken
Where morn hath ceased to dawn;
Where grace that was forsaken
Is evermore withdrawn;
Where's heard no praying sentence
God's mercy to implore;
For there is no repentance,
When time shall be no more.
3 O souls who spurn salvation!
See this eternity
Of darkness, desolation,
And constant agony.
The torments none can banish,
Nor aught can peace restore;
And hope itself shall vanish,
When time shall be no more!
4 Awake! the voice still soundeth;
'Tis now the accepted hour;
The grace of God aboundeth
To save from sin's dread power.
Make haste, implore Christ's favor,
Thy sins confess, and bow
Before Thy Lord and Saviour;
The accepted time is now.

I have sinned and gone astray,
I have multiplied transgression,
Chosen for myself the way.
Forced at last to see my errors,
Lord, I tremble at Thy terrors.
2 Though my conscience doth appall me,
Father, I will seek Thy face;
Though Thy child I dare not call me,
Yet receive me to Thy grace;
For my sins do not forsake me,
O let not Thy wrath o'ertake me.
3 For Thy Son hath suffered for me,
And the blood He shed for sin
Can to life and faith restore me,
Quench this burning fire within;
'Tis alone His cross can vanquish
These dark fears, and soothe this anguish.
4 Then on Him I cast my burden,
Sink it in the depths below;
Let me feel Thy gracious pardon,
Wash me, make me white as snow.
Let Thy Spirit leave me never,
Make me Thine alone forever!

Faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain]

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #446 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Way of Salvation Sanctification Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my All shalt be.
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known;
Yet how rich is my condition:
God and heav'n are still my own.
2 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me
While Thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation,
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find in every station
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee,
What a Father's smile is thine,
What a Saviour died to win thee;
Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?
4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heaven's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thine earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope soon change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 10:38 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. HILARY

Upward I fly;

What earth may bring;
Death is of no account,
Grace will I sing.

Save to be nearer Thee,

By Grace I'm Saved, Grace Free and Boundless
Author: Christian L. Scheidt Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #456 (1990) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: The Way of Salvation Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless;
my soul, believe and doubt it not.
Why stagger at this word of promise?
Has Scripture ever falsehood taught?
No; then this word must true remain:
by grace you, too, shall heav'n obtain.
2 By grace! None dare lay claim to merit;
our works and conduct have no worth.
God in his love sent our Redeemer,
Christ Jesus, to this sinful earth;
his death did for our sins atone,
and we are saved by grace alone.
3 By grace! O mark this word of promise
when you are by your sins oppressed,
when Satan plagues your troubled conscience,
and when your heart is seeking rest.
What reason cannot comprehend
God by his grace to you will send.
4 By grace! This ground of faith is certain;
So long as God is true, it stands.
What saints have penned by inspiration,
what in his Word our God commands,
what our whole faith must rest upon,
is grace alone, grace in his Son.
Scripture: Ephesians 2:8-9 Languages: English Tune Title: MENTZER
