How sweetly flow'd the gospel sound

Hymnal: BW1870 #115 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How sweetly flow'd the gospel sound From lips of gentleness and grace, While list'ning thousands gather'd round, And joy and gladness fill'd the place! 2 From heaven He came, of heaven He spoke, To heaven He led His foll'wers’ way; Dark clouds of gloomy night He broke, Unveiling an immortal day. 3 "Come, wand'rers, to my Father’s home; Come, all ye weary ones, and rest." Yes, sacred Teacher, we will come, Obey Thee, love Thee, and be blest. 4 Decay, then, tenements of dust; Pillars of earthly pride, decay: A nobler mansion waits the just, And Jesus has prepared the way.

My dear Redeemer, and my Lord!

Hymnal: BW1870 #116 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer, and my Lord! I read my duty in Thy word: But in Thy life the law appears Drawn out in living characters. 2 Such was Thy truth, and such Thy zeal, Such def'rence to Thy Father’s will, Such love and meekness so divine, I would transcribe and make them mine. 3 Cold mountains and the midnight air Witness'd the fervor of Thy prayer; The desert Thy temptations knew, Thy conflict and Thy vict'ry too! 4 Be Thou my pattern; make me bear More of Thy gracious image here; Then God the Judge shall own my name Among the followers of the Lamb.

Behold, where in a mortal form

Hymnal: BW1870 #117 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold, where in a mortal form Appears each grace divine; The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine. 2 To spread the rays of heavenly light, To give the mourner joy; To preach glad tidings to the poor, Was His divine employ. 3 'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn, Patient and meek He stood; His foes, ungrateful, sought His life; He labor'd for their good. 4 To God He left His righteous cause, And still His task pursued; While humble prayer and holy faith His fainting strength renew'd. 5 In the last hours of deep distress, Before His Father's throne, With soul resign'd He bow'd, and said, "Thy will, not mine, be done." 6 Be Christ our pattern and our guide, His image may we bear! Oh, may we tread His holy steps, His joy and glory share!

What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone

Hymnal: BW1870 #118 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone Around Thy steps below! What patient love was seen in all Thy life and death of woe! 2 For, ever on Thy burden'd heart A weight of sorrow hung; Yet no ungentle, murm'ring word Escaped Thy silent tongue. 3 Thy foes might hate, despise, revile, Thy friends unfaithful prove; Unwearied in forgiveness still, Thy heart could only love. 4 Oh, give us hearts to love like Thee! Like Thee, O Lord, to grieve Far more for others' sin than all The wrongs that we receive. 5 One with Thyself, may ev'ry eye In us, Thy brethren, see That gentleness and grace that spring From union, Lord, with Thee.

How beauteous were the marks divine

Hymnal: BW1870 #119 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How beauteous were the marks divine That in Thy meekness used to shine, That lit Thy lonely pathway, trod In wondrous love, O Son of God! 2 Oh, who like Thee, so calm, so bright, So pure, so made to live in light? Oh, who like Thee did ever go So patient through a world of woe? 3 E'en death, which sets the prisoner free, Was pang, and scoff, and scorn to Thee; Yet love through all Thy torture glow'd, And mercy with Thy life-blood flow'd. 4 Oh, in Thy light be mine to go, Illuming all this way of woe! And give me ever on the road To trace Thy footsteps, Son of God!

Go to dark Gethsemane

Hymnal: BW1870 #120 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter's power Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall, View the Lord of life arraign'd; Oh, the wormwood and the gall! Oh, the pangs His soul sustain'd! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at His feet, Mark that miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete: "It is finished!" hear Him cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid His breathless clay-- All is solitude and gloom-- Who hath taken Him away? Christ is risen; He meets our eyes! Saviour, teach us so to rise.

A pilgrim through this lonely world

Hymnal: BW1870 #121 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim through this lonely world The blessed Saviour passed; A mourner all His life was He, A dying Lamb at last! 2 That tender heart, which felt for all, For all its life-blood gave; It found on earth no resting-place Save only in the grave! 3 Such was our Lord; and shall we fear The cross with all its scorn? Or love a faithless, evil world, That wreath'd His brow with thorn? 4 No: facing all its frowns or smiles, Like Him, obedient still, We homeward press, through storm or calm To Zion’s blessèd hill. 5 Dead to the world, with Him who died to win our hearts, our love, We, risen with our risen Head, In spirit dwell above.

O Lord, when we the path retrace

Hymnal: BW1870 #122 (1870) Lyrics: 1 O Lord, when we the path retrace Which Thou on earth hast trod; To men Thy wondrous love and grace, Thy faithfulness to God: Thy love, by man so sorely tried, Proves stronger than the grave; The very spear that pierced Thy side Drew forth the blood to save. 2 Faithful amid unfaithfulness, 'Mid darkness only light, Thou didst Thy Father's name confess, And in His will delight; Unmoved by Satan's subtle wiles, Or suff'ring, shame, and loss: Thy path, uncheer'd by earthly smiles, Led only to the cross. 3 O Lord! with sorrow and with shame, Before Thee we confess How little we, who bear Thy name, Thy mind, Thy ways express. Give us Thy meek, Thy lowly mind: We would obedient be; And all our rest and pleasure find In learning, Lord, of Thee.

Behold, the blind their sight receive!

Hymnal: BW1870 #123 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Behold, the blind their sight receive! Behold, the dead awake and live! The dumb speak wonders, and the lame Leap like the hart, and bless His name. 2 Thus doth th'eternal Spirit own And seal the mission of the Son; The Father vindicates His cause, While He hangs bleeding on the cross. 3 He dies; the heavens in mourning stood; He rises, and appears a God. Behold the Lord ascending high, No more to bleed, no more to die. 4 Hence, and forever, from my heart I bid my doubts and fears depart; And to those hands my soul resign, Which bear credentials so divine.

And didst Thou, Jesus, condescend

Hymnal: BW1870 #124 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And didst Thou, Jesus, condescend, When veil'd in human clay, To heal the sick, the lame, the blind, And drive disease away? 2 Didst Thou regard the beggar's cry, And cause the blind to see? Jesus, Thou Son of David, hear, Have mercy, too, on me. 3 And didst Thou pity mortal woe, And sight and health restore? Oh, pity, Lord, and save my soul, Which needs Thy mercy more. 4 Didst Thou thy trembling servant raise, When sinking in the wave? I perish, Lord; oh, save my soul; For Thou alone canst save.
