Freedom in the Death of Jesus

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals First Line: And shall we still be slaves Lyrics: 1 And shall we still be slaves, And in our fetters lie, When summon'd by a voice divine T'assert our liberty? 2 Did Christ the Savior bleed, Our freedom to obtain? And shall we trample on his blood, And glory in our chain? 3 Shall we go on to sin, Because thy grace abounds; Or crucify the Lord again, And open all his wounds? 4 Forbid it, mighty God! Nor let it e'er be said, That those, for whom thy Son has died, In vice are lost and dead. 5 The man that durst despise The law that Moses brought, Behold! how terriby he dies For his presumptuous fault. 6 But sorer vengeance falls On that rebellious race, Who hate to hear when Jesus calls, And dare resist his grace.

Christ's dying Love; or, our Pardon bought at a dear price

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 192 hymnals First Line: How condescending and how kind Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind Was God's eternal Son! Our misery reach'd his heavenly mind, And pity brought him down. 2 This was compassion like a God, That when the Savior knew The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne'er withdrew. 3 Now, though he reigns exalted high, His love is still as great: Well he remembers Calvary, Nor should his saints forget. 4 Here we behold his bowels roll And kind as when he died; And see the sorrows of his soul Bleed through his wounded side. 5 Here we receive repeated seals Of Jesus' dying love: Hard is the wretch that never feels One soft affection move. 6 Here let our hearts begin to melt, While we his death record, And with our joy for pardon'd guilt, Mourn that we pierc'd the Lord.

Can words describe the wond'rous gift Descending from above? 4 The Savior dwelt on earth; He died, that we might live; Endur'd the sorrows of the cross, Immortal hope to give. 5 Ah who can tell the scorn, The dear Redeemer bore? Or who describe the mental grief, Which his blest bosom tore? 6 Low in the grave he lay, While darkness veil'd the skies. But lo!--he bursts the bands of death; To glory see him rise! 7 Father! this work is thine; For us thou gav'st thy Son. O may we all devoted be, And live to thee alone!

Not all the bolts and bars of death The Conqu'ror could detain. 5 High o'er th'angelic bands he rears His once dishonor'd head; And thro' unnumber'd years he reigns, Who dwelt among the dead, 6 With joy like his, shall ev'ry saint His empty tomb survey; Then rise with his ascending Lord Thro' all his shining way.
