Behold The Savior Of The World

Author: Joseph Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the Savior of the world Embrued with sweat and gore, Expiring on that shameful cross, Where He our sorrows bore! 2 Compassion for lost human race Brought down God’s only Son, To veil in flesh His radiant face, And for their sins atone. 3 Who can to love His name forbear, That of His sufferings hears, And finds, the ransom of his soul Was blood as well as tears? 4 Thy sacred blood, O Son of God! Which ran from many a wound When earth and hell’s malicious powers All compassed Thee around. 5 Joy for Thy torments we receive; Life in Thy death have found; For the reproaches of Thy cross Shall be with glory crowned. 6 May we a grateful sense retain Of Thy redeeming love! And live below like those that hope To live with Thee above! Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM Text Sources: Hymns on the Lord's Supper 1705

From My Youth up, May Israel Say

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From my youth up, may Israel say, they oft have me assailed, reduced me oft to heavy straits, but never quite prevailed. 2 They oft have ploughed my patient back with furrows deep and long; but our just GOD has broke the chains, and rescued us from wrong. 3 Defeat, confusion, shameful rout, be still the doom of those, their righteous doom, who Zion hate, and Zion's God oppose. 4 Like corn upon our houses' tops, untimely let them fade, which too much heat, and want of root, has blasted in the blade, 5 Which in his arms no reaper takes, but unregarded leaves; nor binder thinks it worth his pains to fold it into sheaves. 6 No traveller that passes by, vouchsafes a minute's stop, to give it one kind look, or crave heav'n's blessing on the crop.

O for a heart to praise my God!

Author: Rev. Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,178 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God! A heart from sin set free; A heart that always feels Thy blood, So freely shed for me; 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My great Redeemer's throne, Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone; 3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart, Believing, true, and clean, Which neither life nor death can part From Him that dwells within; 4 A heart in every thought renewed, And full of love divine, Perfect and right and pure and good, A copy, Lord, of Thine! 5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart; Come quickly from above; Write Thy new Name upon my heart, Thy new, best Name of Love. Amen. Topics: The Life in Christ Aspiration; Adoration; Love and Communion; Resting in God Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
