O Boundless Joy! There Is Salvation

Author: J. T. Mueller; Ph. Fr. Hiller, 1699-1769 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O boundless joy! There is salvation For me, a sinner, vile and base. Though all unworthy of compassion, I oft have spurned the Savior's grace, Yet love prevailed, and mercy mild Sought out the lost and erring child. 2 Wrath should be mine and condemnation, And hell with all its endless pain! Yet here is heaven and salvation, Christ's saving blood to make me clean. O why such priceless gifts for me? 'Tis mercy, mercy vast and free! 3 O Lord, forever and forever, My ransomed soul should voice Thy praise! To Thy great mercy, blessed Savior, My ever-grateful hymns I raise. O wondrous Gospel, holy theme! Christ came us sinners to redeem! 4 O Mercy! never shall Thy glory Be dimmed by time and fade away. My hope is rooted in Thy story, With Thee I fear not when I pray, With Thee I dread no earthly loss, With Thee I bear each painful cross. 5 With Thee, when death's dark clouds shall lower, I take my journey not alone; With Thy sustaining hope and power, I come before the judgment throne, And there in endless praise of Thee I'll sing through all eternity.

Now I have found the firm foundation

Author: Johann Andreas Rothe; G. F. Krotel Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the firm foundation, Where evermore my anchor grounds! It lay there ere the world's creation, Where else, but in my Savior's wounds? Foundation, which unmoved shall stay, When earth and heaven pass away. 2 It is that mercy never ending Which all conception far transcends, Of Him, who, love's arms extending, To wretched sinners condescends; Whose heart with pity still doth break, Whether we seek Him or forsake. 3 Our ruin God has not intended, He wills salvation to bestow; For this the Son to earth descended, And then to heaven again returned; For this so loudly evermore He knocketh at our heart’s closed door. 4 O depth of love, in which, past finding, My sins through Christ's blood disappear; This is for wounds the safest binding, There is no condemnation here; For Jesus’ blood forever cries: Free mercy, mercy, to the skies! 5 I never will forget this crying; In faith I’ll trust it all my days, And, when o’er all my sins I’m sighing, I toward my Father’s heart will gaze; This always doth to me extend A mercy the will never end. 6 Be it with me as He is willing, Whose mercy is a boundless sea; May He himself my heart be stilling, That this may ne'er forgotten be; Then it will rest, in joy and woe, On mercy, while it beats below. 7 On this foundation, I, unshrinking, Will stand, while I on earth remain; This shall engage my acting, thinking, While I the breath of life retain; Then sin I in eternity, Unfathomed Mercy, still of Thee.
