Peace, by the Blood of the Cross
Author: John Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CLI (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: My dear Master, Jesus Christ Lyrics: 1 My dear Master Jesus Christ,
For peace to thee I fly;
In the Saviour, I am blest
To all eternity:
Free from care, and sin, and strife,
I rest in my dear bridegroom's love!
Ever living in that Life,
Which Jesus lives above.
2 O! the heights of Jesus's grace,
Which I so richly view,
Saviour, in thy lov'd embrace
Are blessings ever new:
Blessings, constant as the day,
Flows from that wounded heart of thine;
All the force of words can't say
How glorious, how divine.
3 Lost in wonder, I alore
The mighty Prince of Life;
Him to praise for evermore,
Be now my only strife:
That God might not frown on me,
Nor doom my soul to banishment,
He upon the shameful tree
To suffer was content.
4 Patient he the cross endur'd
Did all the shame despise,
Well he knew and was assur'd,
This bloody sacrifice
Should his children all complete
In spotless truth and purity;
This the joy before him set
When he engag'd to die.
5 Here my sin and curse was drown'd,
Redemption here obtain'd;
Here the peace, once lost, and found,
And Life eternal gain'd:
Dead upon the cross, in him,
Atonement for my sin I see,
Weeping from each lifeless limb,
For enemies, for me. Topics: The Death of Jesus, who Died for All; Who tasted Death for Every Man Scripture: Romans 5:8-9 Languages: English
Peace, by the Blood of the Cross
Redeemer
Author: John Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCXXXVIII (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: My Redeemer, let me be Lyrics: 1 My Redeemer, let me be
Quite happy at thy feet,
Still to know myself and thee,
Be this my bitter sweet:
Look upon my infant state,
And with a father's yearning bless;
Don't thy ransom'd child forget,
Nor leave me in distress.
2 I have foolishly abus'd
My Saviour's bleeding love;
All my gifts, my God, misus'd,
When by temptation drove:
Justly I deserve to be
Forsaken by my Lord and God;
Yet shall justice plead for me,
For whom thou shedd'st thy blood.
3 Thy blest smiles, my gracious Lord,
Shall cheer my drooping heart;
I'm instructed in thy word
That thou unchanging art:
Draw me to the Depth profound
Of all thy sorrows, blood and sweat,
Passing on, thro' ev'ry wound,
Unto thy mercy seat:
4 There, reclining on thy breast,
Th' eternal Sabbath find;
Proving in thee perfect rest
To my poor lab'ring mind!
Waiting 'till my Lord I see,
And be like him forever pure,
At the heav'nly jubilee,
This bliss to me is sure. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testament Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 Languages: English

Praise for Redemption
Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #IV (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: Now begin the heav'nly theme Lyrics: 1 Now begin the heav'nly theme,
Sing aloud in Jesu's Name:
Ye who his salvation prove,
Triumph in redeeming love.
2 Ye, who see the Father's grace
Beaming in the Saviour's face,
As to Canaan on ye move,
Praise and bless redeeming love.
3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears,
Banish all your guilty fears;
So your guilt and curse remove,
Cancell'd by redeeming love.
4 Ye, alas! who long have been
Willing slaves of death and sin,
Now from bliss no longer rove,
Stop and taste redeeming love.
5 Welcome all, by sin opprest,
Welcome to his sacred rest;
Nothing brought him from above,
Nothing but redeeming love.
6 When his spirit leads us home,
When we to his glory come,
We shall all the fulness prove,
Of our Lord's redeeming love.
7 He subdu'd th'infernal pow'rs,
Those tremendous foes of ours,
From their cursed empire drove;
Mighty in redeeming love.

Praise for Redemption
Perseverance
Author: Mrs. P—r Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCCXLIII (1790) Meter: Irregular First Line: Now Christ again to me appears Lyrics: 1 Now Christ again to me appears
Banishing all my doubts and fears
With his surprising grace;
He says fear not for you I died,
Remove thy doubts, look in my side,
Thy soul with joy at my right hand
At the last day I'll place.
2 Tho' sin within thee yet remains
Against thy will it's grace that reigns,
And shall the conqu'ror prove;
Sin, earth and hell in vain combine,
To pluck thee from those hands of mine
Thou art secured in the arms
Of everlasting love.
3 Fear not tho' all the earth engage
Against thy soul, with hellish rage;
I'm earths' foundation's prop:
The government is laid on me,
I have all power to succour thee;
Then lean on my eternal arm
I'll not deceive thy hope.
4 They sooner may the mountains move
Than thee destroy or change my love,
Or alter what I swore,
The Sun and Moon may cease to shine,
The Earth and all therein decline;
But my eternal love stands firm
And shall for evermore.

Perseverance
Conqueror of Death and Hell
Author: John Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCV (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: Now shall our tongues with rapture tell Lyrics: 1 Now shall our tongues with rapture tell,
How Jesus conquer'd death and hell,
When on the cross he died:
His spoil we are, he'll not deny,
But own us to eternity
As his lov'd, chosen bride.
2 His mystery, his death and blood,
Hath reconcil'd us all to God;
His glory hides our shame:
Whilst Christ is God's beloved son,
We live with him for ever one,
In sonship, grace and name.
3 That he might equitably bleed,
He took upon him Abrah'm's seed,
Then to the altar went;
Whilst in this Lamb to slaughter led,
The sinner bare on his own head
His sin, and punishment.
4 Nor will he us in trials leave,
But still is with us strong to save;
Whilst we on earth remain:
In him our life, our all is found;
Than sin, his grace did more abound,
Reveal'd when he was slain.
5 How rich the love, dear God, that we
Should be belov'd, belov'd by thee,
And sav'd from all our shame:
With joy we'll praise thee, 'till we die,
And after death eternally
Adore, thy balmy name. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testatment Scripture: Revelation 6:2 Languages: English

Immanuel
Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #LVII (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: O holy Imman'el thy mystery divine Lyrics: 1 O holy Imman'el! thy mystery divine,
From glory to glory, on Zion shall shine,
The myst'ry of God espous'd to a worm,
Who neither had merit nor beautiful form;
Yet rais'd to the bosom of God, the Supreme,
She sings he is like him, yet does not blaspheme.
2 O lovely Imman'el! illustrious thy grace!
The beauties of holiness shine in thy face:
Triumphant in bliss, our nature we spy,
And we, in that nature, join'd to the Most High:
The image express of the substance of God;
His brightness appearing by water and blood.
3 O sacred Imman'el! our glory, our joy;
In mut'al embraces, which never shall cloy,
The bridegroom and bride, our Maker and we,
Perpetually live, as united in thee;
Consummate salvation, reveal'd in thy blood,
In thee we possess, with the fulness of God.
4 O glorious Imman'el! Jehovah with man!
With us God is present; (amazing his plan!)
Perfection of joy we now understand,
Whilst rivers of pleasure flow at his right hand:
We stand, when no higher our notes we can raise,
In silence, expressive of wonder and praise.
Scripture: Isaiah 7:14 Languages: English
Immanuel
God is Love
Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLXVIII (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: O love! what a secret to mortals thou art? Lyrics: 1 O love! what a secret to mortals thou art?
'Tis God's deep eternity, nature and heart:
The witnessing dove confirms this high plan,
And likewise his word and his dealings with man;
The sorrows of Jesus, his torment and pain,
Has left no foundation for doubting again.
2 O love! how myster'ous and boundless art thou!
Thy date and thy measure unlimited flow:
This Jesus reveals with evidence strong;
It gladdens my heart, and inspires my song
With praise to my Saviour, my Lord, and my God,
Whose love is my glory, as view'd in his blood.
3 O love! what a gath'ring of souls hast thou made!
All into one fountain, one body, one head,
Where they were preserved thy own, thro' the fall,
The fulness of Jesus, who fills all in all:
Close in her pavilion, the darling, the bride,
Lay hid in her husband, till born from his side.
4 O love! what a bridegroom of honour and trust!
The fulness of heaven hath marri'd my dust;
He humbled himself to cleave to his wife,
In all her distress and her sorrows of life;
With her was he number'd amongst the unclean,
Nor yet could he loathe her, nor jar come between.
5 O love! what a husband thy care did provide!
Descending from glory in search of thy bride;
Her substance conceived, thy body was she,
Incarnate in her, and she then was in thee;
In Mary, the virgin, the twain was made one,
Whence God, our Creator, was born a poor man. Topics: The Eternal and Unchangeable Love of God, commemorated in Hymns of Thanksgiving Scripture: 1 John 4:9-10 Languages: English
God is Love
God's Love Eternal and Unchangeable
Author: L. H. C. Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLXIX (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: O my distrustful heart Lyrics: 1 O, my distrustful heart
How small thy faith appears!
But greater, Lord, thou art,
Than all my doubts and fears.
Did Jesus once upon me shine?
Then Jesus is forever mine.
2 Unchangeable his will,
Tho' dark may be my frame;
His loving heart is still
Eternally the same:
My soul thro' many changes goes;
His love no variation knows.
3 Thou, Lord, wilt carry on,
And perfectly perform
The work, thou hast begun
In me a sinful worm:
Midst all my fears, and sin, and woe,
Thy spirit will not let me go.
4 The bowels of thy grace
At first did freely move:
I still shall see thy face,
And feel that God is love.
Myself into thine arms I cast;
Lord, save, O save, my soul at last. Topics: The Eternal and Unchangeable Love of God, commemorated in Hymns of Thanksgiving Scripture: Psalm 42:11 Languages: English
God's Love Eternal and Unchangeable
The Salvation of God revealed
Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CXIV (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: O sight of anguish, view it near Lyrics: 1 O sight of anguish! view it near,
What weeping innocence is here,
A manger for his bed?
The brutes yield refuge to his woe;
Men, the worst brutes, no pity show,
Nor give him friendly aid.
2 Why do no rapid thunders roll?
Why do no tempests rock the pole?
O miracle of grace!
Or, why no angel on the wing,
Warm for the honours of their King,
T'extirpate all the race?
3 Did he, that infant bath'd in tears,
Call into form the rolling spheres?
Did seraphs wait his nod?
Helpless he calls— but man delays:
And mortal chaos disobeys
The offspring of a God.
4 Say, radiant seraphs thron'd in light,
Did love e'er tow'r so high a flight?
Or glory sink so low?
This wonder angels scarce declare,
Angels the rapture scarce can bear,
Or equal thanks bestow.
5 Redemption! 'tis a boundless theme!
Thou boundless mind, our hearts inflame
With ardour from above:
Words are but faint— let joy express;
Vain is mere joy— Men, Angels bless
This prodigy of love. Topics: The Nativity of the Savior, Celebrated by Angels and Men Scripture: Isaiah 52:9 Languages: English
The Salvation of God revealed
O thou God of my salvation
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns, from Various Authors, Supplementary for the Use of Christians. 1st ed. #XCIV (1816) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 O thou God of my salvation,
My Redeemer from all sin,
Mov'd to this by great compassion,
Yearning bowels from within:
I will praise thee:
Where shall I thy praise begin?
2 While the angel-choirs are crying;
Glory to the great I am!
I with them will still be vying.,
Glory, glory, to the Lamb!
O how precious:
Is the sound of Jesus’ name!
3 Now I see, with joy and wonder,
Whence the healing streams arose;
Angels-minds are lost to ponder
Dying love's mysterious cause;
Yet the blessing
Down to all, to me it flows.
4 Though unseen, I love the Saviour,
He almighty grace hath shown;
Pardon'd guilt and purchas'd favour!
This he makes to mortals known;
Give him glory,
Glory, glory is his own.
5 Angels now are hov'ring round us,
Unperceiv'd they mix the throng,
Wond'ring at the love that crown'd us,
Glad to sing the holy song:
Hallelujah,
Love and praise to Christ belong. Languages: English
O thou God of my salvation
