When I by faith by Maker see
Author: Hart Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 When I by faith my Maker see
In weakness and distress,
Brought down to that sad state for me
Which angels can’t express;
2 When that great God to whom I go
For help, amazed I view,
By sin and sorrow sunk as low
As I, and lower too;
3 [For all our sins we his may call,
As he sustained their weight;
How huge the heavy load of all,
When only mine’s so great!]
4 Then, ravished with the rich belief
Of such a love as this,
I’m lost in wonder, melt with grief,
And faint beneath the bliss.
5 [Prostrate I fall, ashamed of doubt,
And worship love divine;
Thus may I always be devout;
Be this religion mine.]
6 In this alone I can confide;
Here’s righteousness enough.
What’s all the boast of nature’s pride?
What unsubstantial stuff!
7 [Rounds of dead service, forms, and ways,
Which some so much esteem,
Compared with this stupendous grace,
What trivial trash they seem!]
8 Lord, help a worthless worm, so weak
He can do nothing good;
May all I act, or think, or speak,
Be sprinkled with thy blood! Topics: Christ's Righteousness Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:21
When I by faith by Maker see
Thus saith the Lord to those that stand
Author: Hart Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the Lord to those that stand
And wait to hear his great command,
“I have a sinner to renew,
And, lo! this charge I give to you.
2 “Pull his polluted garments off;
Here, soul, here’s raiment rich enough;
Clothe thee with righteousness divine;
Not creature’s righteousness, but mine.
3 “Satan avaunt; stand off, ye foes;
In vain ye rail, in vain oppose;
Your cancelled claim no more obtrude;
He’s mine; I bought him with my blood.
4 “Sinner, thou stand’st in me complete;
Though they accuse thee, I acquit;
I bore for thee the avenging ire,
And plucked thee burning from the fire.” Topics: Christ's Righteousness
Thus saith the Lord to those that stand
How high a privilege 'tis to know
Author: Hart Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How high a privilege ’tis to know
Our sins are all forgiven;
To bear about this pledge below,
This special grant of heaven!
2 To look on this when sunk in fears,
While each repeated sight,
Like some reviving cordial, cheers,
And makes temptations light!
3 O what is honour, wealth, or mirth,
To this well-grounded peace?
How poor are all the goods of earth,
To such a gift as this!
4 This is a treasure rich indeed,
Which none but Christ can give;
Of this the best of men have need;
This I, the worst, receive. Topics: Christ's Righteousness Scripture: Matthew 9:2
How high a privilege 'tis to know
The Lord our Righteousness
Author: Hart Meter: 8.6.8 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Jehovah is my righteousness Lyrics: 1 Jehovah is my righteousness;
In him alone I’ll boast;
My tongue his mercy shall confess
Who seeks and saves the lost.
2 When sunk in fears, with anguish pressed,
Bowed down with weighty woe,
My weary soul in him finds rest;
From him my comforts flow.
3 I’ll lay me down, and sweetly sleep,
For I have peace with God;
And when I wake he shall me keep,
Through faith in Jesus’ blood.
4 Ten thousand and ten thousand foes
Shall not my soul destroy;
My God their counsels overthrows,
And turns my grief to joy. Topics: Christ's Righteousness
The Lord our Righteousness
Awake, my heart, arise, my tongue
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 124 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake my heart, arise, my tongue;
Prepare a tuneful voice;
In God, the life of all my joys,
Aloud will I rejoice.
2 ’Tis he adorned my naked soul,
And made salvation mine;
Upon a poor, polluted worm
He makes his graces shine.
3 And, lest the shadow of a spot
Should on my soul be found,
He took the robe the Saviour wrought,
And cast it all around.
4 [How far the heavenly robe exceeds
What earthly princes wear!
These ornaments, how bright they shine!
How white the garments are!]
5 [The Spirit wrought my faith, and love,
And hope, and every grace;
But Jesus spent his life to work
The robe of righteousness.]
6 Strangely, my soul, art thou arrayed
By the great sacred Three;
In sweetest harmony of praise
Let all thy powers agree.
Topics: Christ's Righteousness Scripture: Isaiah 61:10
Awake, my heart, arise, my tongue
The Lord on high proclaims
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 59 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord on high proclaims
His Godhead from his throne:
“Mercy and Justice are the names
By which I will be known.
2 “Ye dying souls, that sit
In darkness and distress,
Look from the borders of the pit
To my recovering grace.”
3 Sinners shall hear the sound;
Their thankful tongues shall own,
“Our righteousness and strength are found
In thee, the Lord alone.”
4 In thee shall Israel trust,
And see their guilt forgiven;
God will pronounce the sinners just,
And take the saints to heaven. Topics: Christ's Righteousness
The Lord on high proclaims
Vain are the hopes the sons of men
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 136 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Vain are the hopes the sons of men
On their own works have built;
Their hearts by nature all unclean,
And all their actions guilt.
2 Let Jew and Gentile stop their mouths,
Without a murmuring word;
And the whole race of Adam stand
Guilty before the Lord.
3 In vain we ask God’s righteous law
To justify us now,
Since to convince and to condemn
Is all the law can do.
4 Jesus, how glorious is thy grace!
When in thy name we trust,
Our faith receives a righteousness
That makes the sinner just. Topics: Christ's Righteousness Scripture: Romans 3:19-22
Vain are the hopes the sons of men
No more, my God, I boast no more
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 211 hymnals Lyrics: 1 No more, my God, I boast no more
Of all the duties I have done;
I quit the hopes I held before,
To trust the merits of thy Son.
2 Now, for the love I bear his name,
What was my gain I count my loss;
My former pride I call my shame,
And nail my glory to his cross.
3 Yes, and I must and will esteem
All things but loss for Jesus’ sake;
O may my soul be found in him,
And of his righteousness partake!
4 The best obedience of my hands
Dares not appear before thy throne;
But faith can answer thy demands,
By pleading what my Lord has done.
Topics: Christ's Righteousness Scripture: Philippians 3:7-9
No more, my God, I boast no more
Who, but the soul that's led to know
Author: Kent Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who but the soul that’s led to know
How just and holy is the law,
Will to the cross of Christ repair,
And seek salvation only there?
2 [Jesus, my soul’s compelled to flee
From all its wrath and curse to thee;
Though oft, through pride, my stubborn will
To Sinai feels a cleaving still.]
3 Sinner, if thou art taught to see
How great thy guilt and misery,
In every thought and act impure,
The blood of Christ thy soul can cure.
4 Daily to feel thyself undone,
Will make thee haste to kiss the Son,
And on thy knees for pardon sue,
And praise, and bless, and love him too.
5 [To feel thy shame and nakedness,
Will make thee love that glorious dress
That sets from condemnation free,
And from the curse delivers thee.
6 Without a seam this garment’s wove,
Bequeathed in everlasting love;
Ere time began, designed to be
A royal robe to cover thee.]
7 We seek no other blood or name,
To cleanse our guilt and hide our shame,
But that wrought out by Christ the Son,
Which God imputes, and faith puts on. Topics: Christ's Righteousness Scripture: Mark 2:17
Who, but the soul that's led to know
The sons of earth delight
Author: Berridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sons of earth delight
To spread their fame abroad,
To glory in their worth and might;
But such are not of God.
2 The heavenly word declares,
And faithful is the word,
That Israel’s seed, the royal heirs,
Shall glory in the Lord.
3 In Jesus they shall trust;
From first to last each one,
Through Jesus, shall be counted just,
And boast in him alone.
4 Amen! the word is good;
My trust is in his name;
I have redemption through his blood,
And I will shout his fame.
5 [He hears my sad complaints,
And heals old wounds and new;
Hosanna to the King of saints;
His ways are just and true!
6 His worth I love to tell,
And wish the world to know;
And where the Son is honoured well,
The Father’s honoured too.] Topics: Christ's Righteousness Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:31
The sons of earth delight
