Mercy and Wrath results from the Mission of Christ

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #71 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Raise your triumphant songs Lyrics: 1 Raise your triumphant songs, To an immortal tune, Let the wide earth resound the deeds Celestial grace has done. 2 Sing, how eternal love Its chief beloved chose, And bade him raise our wretched race From their abyss of woes. 3 His hand no thunder bears, Nor terror clothes his brow; No bolts to drive our guilty souls To fiercer flames below. 4 'Twas mercy filled the throne, No wrath stood frowning by, When Christ was sent with pardon down To rebels doomed to die. 5 Now sinners dry your tears; Let hopeless sorrow cease; Bow to the sceptre of his love, And take the offer'd peace.

Praise to the Savior

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #79 (1845) First Line: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning! Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning! Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid. Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid! 2 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining, Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall. Angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker, and Monarch, and Savior of all! 3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom and offerings divine? Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation; Vainly with gifts would His favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning! Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid! Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid!

I read my duty in thy word; But in thy life the law appears Drawn out in living characters. 2 Such was thy truth, and such thy zeal, Such def'rence to thy Father's will, Thy love and meekness so divine, I would transcribe and make them mine. 3 Cold mountains and the midnight air Witness'd the fervor of thy pray'r; The desert thy temptations knew, Thy conflict and thy vict'ry too! 4 Be thou my pattern; let me bear More of thy gracious image here. Then God, the Judge, shall own my name Amongst the foll'wers of the Lamb. Topics: Christ His Mission and Works; Christ His Life and Example Languages: English
