The Spirit, the water, and the blood

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXXXVII (1799) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Let all our tongues be one Lyrics: 1 Let all our tongues be one To praise our God on high, Who from his bosom sent his Son To fetch us strangers nigh. 2 Nor let our voices cease To sing the Saviour's name; Jesus, th' Ambassador of peace, How cheerfully he came! 3 It cost him cries and tears To bring us near to God; Great was our debt, and he appears To make the payment good. 4 My Saviour's pierced side Pour'd down a double flood; By water we are purify'd, And pardon'd by the blood. 5 Infinite was our guilt, But he, our Priest, atones; On the cold ground his life was spilt, And offer'd with his groans. 6 Look up, my soul, to him Whose death was thy desert, And humbly view the living stream Flow from his breaking heart. 7 There, on the cursed tree, In dying pangs he lies, Fulfils his Father's great decree, And all our wants supplies. 8 Thus the Redeemer came By water and by blood; And when the Spirit speaks the same, We feel his witness good. 9 While the eternal Three Their record bear above, Here I believe he dy'd for me, And seal my Saviour's love. 10 Lord, cleanse my soul from sin Nor let thy grace depart: Great Comforter! abide within, And witness to mine heart.

The Sufferings of Divine Love

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XLVII (1799) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: My dear Redeemer see Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer see, Forsaken and forlorn; Drinking the vinegar and gall, And crown'd with ragged thorn. 2 They pierc'd him to the heart, Oh let me view the wound! And count the precious, flowing drops, That stain the thirsty ground. 3 Ah! who could mar thee thus, That never didst offend? How could a sinful world combine Against the sinner's friend? 4 They needed not the spear To shed my Savior's blood; Love would have bust his tender heart, Whilst mercy pour'd the flood. 5 O copious, healing stream! Though urg'd by hostile hand; From evil springs the might good That cleanses Judah's land. Topics: Sufferings of Christ; Sufferings of Christ Languages: English

I hear the thunder roar; The law proclaims destruction nigh, And vengeance at the door. 3 When I review my ways, I dread impending doom; But sure a friendly whisper says, "Flee from the wrath to come." 4 I see, or think I see, A glimm'ring from afar; A beam of day that shines for me, To save me from despair. 5 Fore-runner of the sun, It marks the pilgrim's way; I'll gaze upon it while i run, And watch the rising day.

Complaint of sins

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCLXXII (1799) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: O Lord, how vile am I Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how vile am I, Unholy and unclean! How can I dare to venture nigh With such a load of sin? 2 Is this polluted heart A dwelling fit for thee? Swarming, alas! in ev'ry part, What evils do i see! 3 If I attempt to pray, And raise my soul on high, My thoughts are hurry'd fast away, For sin is ever nigh. 4 If in thy word I look, Such darkness fills my mind, I only read a sealed book, But no relief can find. 5 Thy gospel oft I hear, But hear it still in vain; Without desire,or love, or hear, Harden'd I still remain. 6 And must I then indeed Sink in despair and die? Fain would I hope that thou didst bleed For such a wretch as I. 7 That blood which thou hast spilt, That grace which is thine own; Can cleanse the vilest sinner's guilt, And soften hearts of stone. 8 Low at thy feet I bow, O pity and forgive! Here will I lie and wait till thou Shalt bid me rise and live. Topics: Sin Complained of Languages: English

Are there few that shall be saved?

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXXXIX (1799) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Destruction's dangerous road Lyrics: 1 Destruction's dangerous road What multitudes pursue! While that which leads the soul to God, Is know or sought by few. 2 Believes find the way Thro' Christ the living gate; But those who hate this holy way Complain it is too strait. 3 If self must be deny'd, And sin no more caress'd, They rather choose the way that's wide, And strive to think it best. 4 Encompass'd by a throng, On numbers they depend; They say so many can't be wrong, And miss a happy end. 5 But hear the Saviour's word, "Strive for the heavn'ly gate, many will call upon the Lord, And find their crys too late." 6 Obey the gospel call And enter while you may; The flock of Christ is always small, And none are safe but they. 7 Lord, open sinners' eyes, Their awful state to see; And make them, ere the storm arise, To thee for safety flee.
