Hymn 103

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 169 hymnals Scripture: John 3:16-17 First Line: Come, happy souls, approach your God Lyrics: Come, happy souls, approach your God With new melodious songs; Come, tender to almighty grace The tribute of your tongues. So strange, so boundless was the love That pitied dying men, The Father sent his equal Son To give them life again. Thy hands, dear Jesus, were not armed With a revenging rod, No hard commission to perform The vengeance of a God. But all was mercy, all was mild, And wrath forsook the throne, When Christ on the kind errand came, And brought salvation down. Here, sinners, you may heal your wounds, And wipe your sorrows dry; Trust in the mighty Savior's name, And you shall never die. See, dearest Lord, our willing souls Accept thine offered grace; We bless the great Redeemer's love, And give the Father praise.

The sovereign will of God alone Creates us heirs of grace Born in the image of his Son, A new, peculiar race. The Spirit, like some heav'nly wind, Blows on the sons of flesh, New-models all the carnal mind, And forms the man afresh. Our quickened souls awake, and rise From the long sleep of death; On heav'nly things we fix our eyes, And praise employs our breath.

Hymn 100

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 142 hymnals Scripture: John 3:16-18 First Line: Not to condemn the sons of men Lyrics: Not to condemn the sons of men, Did Christ, the Son of God, appear; No weapons in his hands are seen, No flaming sword nor thunder there. Such was the pity of our God, He loved the race of man so well, He sent his Son to bear our load Of sins, and save our souls from hell. Sinners, believe the Savior's word, Trust in his mighty name and live; A thousand joys his lips afford, His hands a thousand blessings give. But vengeance and damnation lies On rebels who refuse the grace; Who God's eternal Son despise, The hottest hell shall be their place.
