Raise your triumphant songs

Hymnal: BW1870 #95 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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 fill'd the throne, No wrath stood frowning by, When Christ was sent with pardon down To rebels doom'd 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.

Every fallen soul, by sinning

Hymnal: BW1870 #96 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Every fallen soul, by sinning, Merits everlasting pain; But Thy love without beginning, Has redeem'd the world again: Countless millions Shall in life, through Jesus reign. 2 Pause, my soul, adore and wonder: Ask, "Oh, why such love to me?" Grace hath put me in the number Of the Saviour's family: Hallelujah! Thanks, eternal thanks to Thee! 3 Since that love had no beginning, And shall never, never cease; Keep, oh, keep me, Lord, from sinning; Guide me in the way of peace: Make me walk in All the paths of holiness. 4 When I quit this feeble mansion, And my soul returns to Thee, Let the power of thy ascension Manifest itself in me; Through Thy Spirit, Give the final victory. 5 When the angel sounds the trumpet; When my soul and body join; When my Saviour comes to judgment, Bright in majesty divine, Let me triumph In Thy righeousness as mine.

In songs of sublime adoration and praise

Hymnal: BW1870 #97 (1870) Lyrics: 1 In songs of sublime adoration and praise, Ye pilgrims for Zion who press, Break forth and extol the great Ancient of Days, His rich and unmerited grace. 2 His love, from eternity, burn'd for our race, Broke forth and discover'd its flame; And now with the cords of His kindness He draws, And brings us to love His great name. 3 Oh, had He not pitied the state we were in, Our bosoms His love had ne'er felt: We all would have lived, would have died too in sin, And sunk with the load of our guilt. 4 What was there in man that could merit esteem, Or give the Creator delight? 'Twas "Even so, Father," we ever must sing, Because it seem'd good in Thy sight. 5 Urged on by His grace, did the Saviour appear, The bearer of help from above: Now all who are thirsting may freely draw near And drink in the streams of His love. 6 Then give all the glory to His holy name, To Him all the glory belongs; Be ours the high joys still to sound forth His fame, And crown Him in each of our songs.

O love! beyond conception great

Hymnal: BW1870 #98 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O love! beyond conception great, That form'd the vast, stupendous plan! Where all divine perfections meet To reconcile rebellious man! 2 There wisdom shines in fullest blaze, And justice all her rights maintains: Astonish'd angels stoop to gaze, While mercy o'er the guilty reigns. 3 Yes, mercy reigns, and justice too-- In Christ harmoniously they meet: He paid to justice all her due, And now He fills the mercy-seat. 4 Such are the wonders of our God, And such th'amazing depths of grace, To save from wrath's vindictive rod. The sons of Adam's fallen race. 5 With grateful songs then let our souls Surround our gracious Father's throne; And all between the distant poles His truth and mercy ever own.

I was a wand'ring sheep

Hymnal: BW1870 #99 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I was a wand'ring sheep, I did not love the fold, I did not love my Shepherd's voice, I would not be controll'd: I was a wayward child, I did not love my home, I did not love my Father's voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child, He follow'd me o'er vale and hill, O'er deserts waste and wild; He found me nigh to death, Famish'd, and faint, and lone; He bound me with the bands of love, He saved the wand'ring one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is, 'Twas He that loved my soul, 'Twas He that wash'd me in His blood, 'Twas He that made me whole; 'Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wand'ring sheep, 'Twas He that brought me to the fold-- 'Tis He that still doth keep. 4 No more a wand'ring sheep, I love to be controll'd, I love my tender Shepherd's voice, I love the peaceful fold: No more a wayward child, I seek no more to roam, I love my Heavenly Father's voice-- I love, I love His home.

All that I was, my sin, my guilt

Hymnal: BW1870 #100 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 All that I was, my sin, my guilt, My death, was all my own; All that I am I owe to Thee, My gracious God, alone. 2 The evil of my former state Was mine, and only mine; The good in which I now rejoice Is Thine, and only Thine. 3 The darkness of my former state, The bondage--all was mine: The light of life in which I walk, The liberty--is Thine. 4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin, And taught me to believe: Then, in believing, peace I found, And now I live, I live! 5 All that I am e'en here on earth, All that I hope to be When Jesus comes and glory dawns-- I owe it, Lord, to Thee.

Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousand through the skies. 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power, Their motions speak Thy skill, And on the wings of ev'ry hour We read Thy patience still. 3 When sinners break the Father's law, Thy dying Son atones; Oh, the dear mysteries of His cross! The triumph of His groans! 4 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. 5 Oh, may I bear some humble part In that immortal song!

Ere the blue heavens were stretch'd abroad

Hymnal: BW1870 #103 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ere the blue heav’ns were stretch'd abroad, From everlasting was the Word: With God He was; the Word was God, And must divinely be adored. 2 By His own power were all things made; By Him supported all things stand: He is the whole creation’s Head, And angels fly at His command. 3 But lo! He leaves those heav’nly forms, The Word descends and dwells in clay, That He may converse hold with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. 4 Mortals with joy beheld His face, Th’eternal Father’s only Son; How full of truth! how full of grace! When through His form the Godhead shone. 5 Archangels leave their high abode, To learn new mysteries here, and tell The love of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel.

Hosanna to the royal Son

Hymnal: BW1870 #104 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hosanna to the royal Son Of David's ancient line, His natures two, His person one, Mysterious and divine. 2 The root of David, here we find, And offspring is the same: Eternity and time are join'd In our Immanuel's name. 3 Blest He that comes to wretched men With peaceful news from heaven; Hosannas of the highest strain To Christ the Lord be given. 4 Let mortals ne'er refuse to take Th' hosanna on their tongues, Lest rocks and stones should rise, and break Their silence into songs.
