Perseverance

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 132 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:1 First Line: Who shall the Lord's elect condemn? Lyrics: 1 Who shall the Lord's elect condemn? 'Tis God who justifies their souls; And mercy, like a mighty stream, O'er all their sins divinely rolls. 2 Who shall adjudge the saints to hell? 'Tis Christ who suffered in their stead; And their salvation to fulfill, Behold him rising from the dead! 3 He lives! he lives! and sits above, For ever interceding there: Who shall divide us from his love, Or what shall tempt us to despair? 4 Shall persecution or distress, Famine, or sword, or nakedness? He who hath loved us bears us through, And makes us more than conquerors too. 5 Not all that men on earth can do, Nor powers on high, nor powers below, Shall cause his mercy to remove, Or wean our hearts from Christ, our love.

Yours I am, O spotless Lamb, I will suffer nought to hide you, nought I ask beside you. 2 In your arms I rest me, foes who would molest me cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, ev'ry heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell with their bitter storms assail me. Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, though the storms may gather, still have peace within; and, whatever I must bear, still in you lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure!

"The burden rolled away"

Author: Ellen H. Willis Appears in 106 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:1 First Line: I left it all with Jesus long ago Lyrics: 1 I left it all with Jesus long ago, All my sins I brought him and my woe; When by faith I saw him on the tree, Heard his small, still whisper, "'Tis for thee," From my heart the burden rolled away! Happy day. 2 I leave it all with Jesus, for he knows How to steal the bitter from life's woes; How to gild the tear-drop with his smile, Make the desert garden bloom awhile: When my weakness leaneth on his might, All seems light. 3 I leave it all with Jesus day by day; Faith can firmly trust him, come what may. Hope has dropped her anchor, found her rest, In the calm sure haven of his breast; Love esteems it heaven to abide At his side.

But He carried my sins with Him there. 2 He is tender and loving and patient with me, While He cleanses my heart of the dross; But “there’s no condemnation”—-I know I am free, For my sins are all nailed to the cross. (Chorus) 3 I will cling to my Savior and never depart; I will joyfully journey each day, With a song on my lips and a song in my heart, That my sins have been taken away.

Gently heal those hearts now broken; give some token you are near us, whom we trust to light and cheer us. 3 O mighty rock, O source of life, let your good word in doubt and strife be in us strongly burning, that we be faithful unto death and live in love and holy faith, from you true wisdom learning.

Though my sins against me cried, thou didst clear me; and alone, when they replied, thou didst hear me. 3 Seven whole days, not one in seven, I will praise thee; in my heart, though not in heaven, I can raise thee.
