By Grace I'm Saved

Author: C. L Scheidt, 1709-61 Hymnal: ELH1996 #226 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 First Line: By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless Lyrics: 1 By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless; My soul, believe and doubt it not. Why stagger at this word of promise? Hath Scripture ever falsehood taught? Nay; then this word must true remain; By grace thou, too, shalt heav'n obtain. 2 By grace! None dare lay claim to merit; Our works and conduct have no worth. God in His love sent our Redeemer, Christ Jesus, to this sinful earth; His death did for our sins atone, And we are saved by grace alone. 3 By grace! O mark this word of promise When thou art by thy sins opprest, When Satan plagues thy troubled conscience, And when thy heart is seeking rest. What reason cannot comprehend God by His grace to thee doth send. 4 By grace God's Son, our only Savior, Came down to earth to bear our sin. Was it because of thine own merit That Jesus died thy soul to win? Nay, it was grace, and grace alone, That brought Him from His heav'nly throne. 5 By grace! This ground of faith is certain; So long as God is true, it stands. What saints have penned by inspiration, What in His Word our God commands, What our whole faith must rest upon, Is Grace alone, grace in His Son. 6 By grace! But think not, thou who livest Securely on in godless ways, That thou--though all are called--recevest The promised rest that wakes our praise. No one will find in heav'n a place Who loves to sin and scorns God's grace. 7 By grace! They who have heard this sentence Must bid hypocrisy farewell; For only after true repentance The soul what grace imports can tell: To sin God's grace a trifle seems, To faith it bright with glory beams. 8 By grace to timid hearts that tremble, In tribulation's furnace tried-- By grace, despite all fear and trouble, The Father's heart is open wide. Where could I help and strength secure If grace were not my anchor sure? 9 By grace! On this I'll rest when dying; In Jesus' promise I rejoice; For though I know my heart's condition, I also know my Savior's voice. My heart is glad, all grief has flown Since I am saved by grace alone. 10 By grace! Sin, death, and Satan hearken! I bear my flag of faith in hand And pass--for doubts my joy can't darken-- The Red Sea to the Promised Land. I cling to what my Savior taught And trust it, whether felt or not.

Chief of Sinners Though I Be

Author: W. McComb, 1793-1873 Hymnal: ELH1996 #429 (1996) 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, Lived that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am His and He is mine. 2 O 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 Jesus only can impart Balm to heal the smitten 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 from earthly strife, He sustains the hidden life. 5 O my Savior, help afford By Thy Spirit and Thy 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.

Christ alone is our salvation

Author: Unknown Hymnal: ELH1996 #484 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Christ alone is our salvation, Christ the rock on which we stand; Other than this sure foundation Will be found but sinking sand. Christ, His cross and resurrection, Is alone the sinners' plea; At the throne of God's perfection Nothing else can set him free. 2 We have all things, Christ possessing: Life eternal, second birth, Present pardon, peace, and blessing While we tarry here on earth; And by faith's anticipation, Foretaste of the joy above Freely giv'n us with salvation By the Father in His love. 3 When we perfect joy shall enter, 'Tis in Him our bless will rise; He's the essence, soul, and center Of the glory in the skies. In redemption's wondrous story Planned before our parents' fall, From the cross unto the glory Jesus Christ is all in all.

Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands

Author: M. Luther, 1483-1546; R. Massie, 1800-87 Hymnal: ELH1996 #343 (1996) 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 allelujah! Allelujah! 2 No son of man could conquer death, Such mischief sin had wrought us, For innocence dwelt not on earth, And therefore death had brought us Into thraldom from of old And ever grew more strong and bold And kept us in its bondage. Alleluia! 3 But Jesus Christ, God's only Son, To our low state descended, The cause of death He has undone, Its pow'r forever ended, Ruined all its right and claim And left it nothing but the name, Its sting is lost forever. Allelia! 4 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 saith That death is swallowed up by death, In vain it rages o'er us. Allelujah! 5 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 doth mark our door; Faith points to it, death passes o'er, And Satan cannot harm us. Allelujah! 6 So let us keep the festival Whereto the Lord invites us; Christ is Himself the Joy of all, The Sun that warms and lights us. By His grace He doth impart Eternal sunshine to the heart; The night of sin is ended. Allelujah! 7 Then let us feast this Easter Day On Christ, the Bread of heaven; The Word of Grace hath purged away The old and evil leaven. Christ alone our souls will feed, He is our meat and drink indeed; Faith lives upon no other. Allelujah! Topics: Resurrection Languages: English Tune Title: CHRIST LAG IN TODESBANDEN

Thus didst Thou my soul deliver From the bonds of sin forever. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 3 Thou hast borne the smiting only That my wounds might all be whole; Thou hast suffered, sad and lonely, Rest to give my weary soul; Yea, the curse of God enduring, Blessing unto me securing. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 4 Heartless scoffers did surround Thee, Treating Thee with shameful scorn, And with piercing thorns they crowned Thee. All disgrace Thou, Lord, hast borne That as Thine Thou mightest own me And with heavenly glory crown me. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 5 Thou hast suffered men to bruise Thee That from pain I might be free; Falsely did Thy foes accuse Thee-- Thence I gain security; Comfortless Thy soul did languish Me to comfort in my anguish. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 6 Thou hast suffered great affliction And hast borne it patiently, Even death by crucifixion, Fully to atone for me; Thou didst choose to be tormented That my doom should be prevented. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 7 Then, for all that wrought my pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore, For Thine anguish in the Garden, I will thank Thee evermore, Thank Thee for Thy groaning, sighing, For Thy bleeding and Thy dying, For that last triumphant cry, And shall praise Thee, Lord, on high.
