Chief of Sinners Though I Be

Author: William McComb, 1793-c. 1870 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #385 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners though I be, Jesus shed his blood for me, Died that I might live on high, Lives that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am his and he is mine! 2 Oh, the height of Jesus' love, Higher than the heav'ns above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting as eternity, Love that found me -- wondrous thought!-- Found me when I sought him not. 3 Only Jesus can impart Comfort to a wounded heart: Peace that flows from sin forgiv'n, Joy that lifts the soul to heav'n, Faith and hope to walk with God In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me. All my wants to him are known; All my sorrows are his own. Safe with him in earthly strife, I await the heav'nly life. 5 Strengthen me, O gracious Lord, By your Spirit and your word. When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die. Topics: Justification; Justification Languages: English Tune Title: GETHSEMANE

Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Richard Massie, 1800-87 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #161 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Lyrics: 1 Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands For our offenses given; But now at God's right hand he stands And brings us life from heaven. Therefore let us joyful be And sing to God right thankfully Loud songs of hallelujah. Hallelujah! 2 It was a strange and dreadful strife When life and death contended. The victory remained with life; The reign of death was ended. Holy Scripture plainly says That death is swallowed up by death, Its sting is lost forever. Hallelujah! 3 Here the true Paschal Lamb we see, Whom God so freely gave us; He died on the accursed tree-- So strong his love--to save us. See, his blood now marks our door; Faith points to it; death passes o'er, And Satan cannot harm us. Hallelujah! 4 So let us keep the festival To which the Lord invites us; Christ is himself the joy of all, The sun that warms and lights us. Now his grace to us imparts Eternal sunshine to our hearts; The night of sin is ended. Hallelujah! Topics: Easter; Easter Languages: English Tune Title: CHRIST LAG IN TODESBANDEN
