I Look Not Back

Author: Unknown Hymnal: HOoS1926 #431 (1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: I look not back; God knows the fruitless efforts Lyrics: 1 I look not back; God knows the fruitless efforts, The wasted hours, the sinning, the regrets. I leave them all with Him who blots the record, And graciously forgives, and then forgets. 2 I look not forward; God sees all the future, The road that, short or long, will lead me home, And He will face with me its every trial, And bear for me the burdens that may come. 3 I look not round me; then would fears assail me, So wild the tumult of earth's restless seas, So dark the world, so filled with woe and evil, So vain the hope of comfort and of ease. 4 I look not inward; that would make me wretched; For I have naught on which to stay my trust. Nothing I see save failures and shortcomings, And weak endeavors, crumbling into dust. 5 But I look up--into the face of Jesus, For there my heart can rest, my fears are stilled; And there is joy, and love, and light for darkness, And perfect peace, and every hope fulfilled. Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification Languages: English Tune Title: O SÄLLA LAND

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice

Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: HOoS1926 #433 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing, And, with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God hath done, How His right arm the vict'ry won; Right dearly it hath cost Him. 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay, Death brooded darkly o'er me, Sin was my torment night and day, In sin my mother bore me; Still deeper in despair I fell, Life had become a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 Then God beheld my wretched state With deep commiseration; He thought upon His mercy great, And willed my soul's salvation; He turned to me a Father's heart; Not small the cost! to heal my smart, He gave His best and dearest. 4 He spoke to His belovèd Son: "'Tis time to have compassion: Then go, bright Jewel of My crown, And bring to man salvation; From sin and sorrow set him free, Slay bitter death for him, that he May live with Thee forever." 5 The Son obeyed Him cheerfully, And born of virgin mother, Came down upon the earth to me, That He might be my brother: His mighty power doth work unseen, He came in fashion poor and mean, And took the devil captive. 6 We thank Thee, Lord, for boundless grace, And sing Thy praise forever, For granting us in dire distress Thine everlasting favor. Both death and hell were stricken down, When Thou didst for our sins atone, O Jesus, blessèd Saviour. Amen.

I Know in Whom I Trust

Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Samuel Magnus Hill Hymnal: HOoS1926 #434 (1926) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 I know in Whom I trust When guilt of sin oppresses, When anguish and remorse My burdened soul distresses; I come before Thy throne, O God, in Jesus' Name; Thy mercy, love, and truth Forever are the same. 2 I know in Whom I trust When, troubled and dejected, I lack the strength to go The way of God selected' To Jesus then I pray With a repentant mind, And strength of holiness I through His Spirit find. 3 I know in Whom I trust When worldly pomp and splendor Would lure my heart away, For He is my Defender. I hear His warning voice, I feel His loving hand; Temptations and deceits With Him I thus withstand. 4 I know in Whom I trust When peace and joy forsake me, When fain my heart would break, And sorrows overtake me. The suffering of my Lord, His anguish, pain, and woe Remind me of the way We after Him must go. 5 I know in Whom I trust When evening shadows lengthen, When death stands at the door,-- For Christ is there to strengthen. He died upon the cross To conquer death and hell; A Conqueror He rose, And all with us is well. 6 I know in Whom I trust; I praise Him and adore Him; By works I show my faith; My heart I lay before Him; Not only crying, "Lord!" I take Him as my Guide, And thus in life and death In Him alone abide. Amen.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber, (1814-1864) Hymnal: HOoS1926 #435 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea: There's a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. 2 There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in His blood. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His Word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the presence of our Lord.

I'll never--no never--no never forsake!" Amen.

Vanish Doubt and Hesitation!

Author: Johann Adolph Schlegel; Samuel Magnus Hill Hymnal: HOoS1926 #440 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Vanish doubt and hesitation! My Redeemer is the Lord. Hearken to His invitation By the Spirit and the Word. Clearly He perceives thy anguish; O my soul, why longer languish! Although I am weak and ill, God remains my Father still. 2 He will pity and relieve me, Who can then condemn my soul? Satan and the world deceive me, Jesus Christ will make me whole. Why, then, should my heart accuse me, Or my conscience still confuse me? God the Father makes me free, And His Spirit comforts me. 3 Jesus Christ for me has suffered, And by faith He is my own. Satisfaction He has offered, And the way to heaven shown. Through His full propitiation I have free and full salvation. He has conquered death and hell; He has thus made all things well. 4 In His merit now confiding, I look up to Him with joy; For His promise is abiding-- Who can now my peace destroy? Weal nor woe shall e'er deprive me Of the portion that He gave me. My Redeemer, Lord divine, I am Thine, forever Thine. Amen.
