Author: J. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 246 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I thirst, thou wounded Lamb of God, To wash me in thy cleansing blood; To dwell within thy bounds: then pain Is sweet, and life or death is gain. 2 Take my poor heart, and let it be For ever closed to all but thee: Seal thou my breast, and let me wear That pledge of love for ever there. 3 How blest are they who still abide Close sheltered in thy bleeding side! Who thence their life and strength derive, And by thee move, and in thee live. 4 What are works but sin and death, Till thou thy quick'ning Spirit breathe? Thou giv'st the power thy grace to move, Oh, wondrous grace! oh, boundless love! 5 How can it be, thou heavenly King, That thou shouldst us to glory bring; Make slaves the partners of thy throne, Decked with a never-fading crown?

Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 116 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye; See Adam's race in ruin lie; Sin spreads it trophies o'er the ground, And scatters slaughtered heaps around. 2 And can these dead awake and live? And can these perished bones revive? That, mighty God, to thee is known; That wondrous work is all thy own. 3 Thy ministers are sent in vain To prophesy upon the slain; In vain they call, in vain they cry, Till thine Almighty aid is nigh. 4 But if thy spirit deign to breathe, Life spreads through all the realms of death: Dry bones obey thy powerful voice; They move, they waken, they rejoice. 5 So, when thy trumpet's awful sound Shall shake the heavens, and rend the ground, Dead saints shall from their tombs arise, And spring to life beyond the skies.
