When Jesus Dwelt in Mortal Clay

Author: Thomas Gibbons Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 156 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay, What were His works, from day to day, But miracles of power and grace, That spread salvation through our race? 2. At his command, from rayless night Redeemed, the blind receive their sight, The deaf in rapture hear His voice, The dumb in songs of praise rejoice. 3. Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view Thy pattern, and Thy steps pursue; Let alms bestowed, let kindness done, Be witnessed by each rolling sun. 4. Teach us to mark, from day to day, In generous acts our radiant way, Tread the same path our Savior trod, The path to glory and to God.

Self righteous souls on works rely

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Self righteous souls on works rely, And boast their mortal dignity; But if I lisp a song of praise, Grace is the note my soul shall raise. 2 'Twas grace that quicken'd me when dead, And grace my soul to Jesus led; Grace brings me pardon for my sin-- 'Tis grace subdues my lusts within. 3 'Tis grace that sweetens ev'ry cross, 'Tis grace supports in ev'ry loss; In Jesus' grace my soul is strong-- Grace is my hope and Christ my song. 4 'Tis grace defends when danger's near; And 'tis by grace I persevere; 'Tis grace constrains my soul to love-- Free grace is all they sing above. 5 Thus 'tis alone of grace I boast, And 'tis in grace alone I trust; For all that's past grace is my theme, For what's to come 'tis still the same. 6 Thro' endless years, of grace I'll sing, Adore and bless my heavenly king; I'll cast my crown before his throne, And shout free grace to him alone.

Now Let Us Join with Hearts and Tongues

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Now let us join with hearts and tongues, And emulate the angels’ songs; Yea, sinners may address their King In songs that angels cannot sing. 2. They praise the Lamb who once was slain, But we can add a higher strain; Not only say, He suffered thus, But that He suffered all for us. 3. When angels by transgression fell, Justice consigned them all to hell; But mercy formed a wondrous plan, To save and honor fallen man. 4. Jesus, who passed the angels by, Assumed our flesh to bleed and die; And still He makes it His abode, As man, He fills the throne of God. 5. Our next of kin, our brother now, Is He to whom the angels bow; They join with us to praise His name, But we the nearest interest claim. 6. But ah! how faint our praises rise! Sure, ’tis the wonder of the skies; That we, who share His richest love, So cold and unconcerned should prove. 7. O glorious hour, it comes with speed When we from sin and darkness freed, Shall see the God who died for man, And praise Him more than angels can.

O for a Sweet, Inspiring Ray

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 111 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O for a sweet, inspiring ray, To animate our feeble strains, From the bright realms of endless day, The blissful realms where Jesus reigns. 2. There low before the glorious throne, Adoring saints and angels fall! And with delightful worship own His smile their bliss, their heav’n, their all. 3. Immortal glories crown His head, While tuneful hallelujahs rise, And love, and joy, and triumph spread, Thro’ all th’assemblies of the skies. 4. He smiles, and seraphs tune their songs, To boundless rapture while they gaze; Ten thousand, joyful tongues Resound His everlasting praise.

The Hiding Place

Author: Mary P. Beegle Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Infinite love! that first began Lyrics: 1 Infinite love! that first began A scheme to rescue fallen man; Infinite love and boundless grace That gave my soul a hiding place. 2 Low in the dust, I prostrate laid, A guilty soul in death’s dark shade; Burdened with sin, I cried for grace, Is there, O God, no hiding place? 3 To Sinai’s fiery mount I flew, Indignant Justice stood in view, And cried aloud, with frowning face, "This mountain is no hiding place." 4 But soon a heavenly voice I heard, And Jesus on the cross appeared; He bade me come, and seek His face, "And find in Him a hiding place." 5 I come, and now, am all Thine own, Who plead for me before the throne, Who looked into Thy Father’s face, And bought for me a hiding place. 6 My rock, my tower, to Thee I come; I wait for Thee to call me home, Where I shall see Thee, face to face, Safe in Thy blessèd hiding place.

O Thou, in whom we live and move

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: O Thou, in whom we live and move And have our being! meet us here Let us Thy tender mercy prove, As Thou art wont, from year to year. For year by year, when throngs on throngs, Rejoicing to Thy courts repair, To offer praise in choral songs, And pour their souls in fervent prayer:-- To prayers and songs in sovereign grace, A willing ear Thou dost incline, And cause the glory of Thy face In Christ, on all and each to shine. To each and all, this day, anew, The tokens of Thy love impart, And let Thy blessing fall like dew, --Fall on good ground in every heart. 251 In every heart Thy word be sown, Spring up, and thrive through heat and cold, Until it shake like Lebanon, With heavenly fruit an hundred fold:-- Fruit ripening in our earthly clime, Till all the plants thus train'd by Thee, Flourish as trees of life through time, Then trees of immortality.
