Now Have I Found the Ground Wherein

Author: Johannes Andreas Rothe Hymnal: HOoS1926 #441 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein My soul’s sure anchor may remain: The wounds of Jesus, for my sin Before the world’s foundation slain; Whose mercy shall unshaken stay When heav'n and earth are fled away. 2 O Father, Thine everlasting grace Our scanty thought surpasses far; Thy heart still melts with tenderness, Thine arms of love still open are, Returning sinners to receive, That mercy they may taste, and live. 3 O love, so great, so bottomless! My sins are swallowed up in Thee!; And covered my unrighteousness, No spot of guilt remains in me; While Jesus’ blood, through earth and skies, For mercy, boundless mercy, cries! Amen.

All That I Was, My Sin, My Guilt

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: HOoS1926 #442 (1926) 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, It 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. Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE

O For a Faith That Will Not Shrink

Author: William Hiley Bathurst Hymnal: HOoS1926 #443 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Tho' pressed by many a foe; That will not tremble on the brink Of poverty and woe; 2 That will not murmur or complain Beneath the chast'ning rod, But in the hour of grief or pain Will lean upon its God; 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt; 4 That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That sin's wild ocean cannot drown, Nor Satan’s arts beguile; 5 A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life’s last hour is fled, And with a pure and heavenly ray Lights up a dying bed. 6 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And the, whate’er may come, We’ll taste e’en here the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

Our sins He bore, our guilt He owned, For all our deeds His death atoned-- O bountiful possession! His righteousness is full and free, O sinful man, to thee, to thee. 3 For this o'erwhelming sacrifice The Lord will nevermore despise A contrite heart and spirit. By Jesus' death, by Jesus' blood, Full pleasing in the sight of God, His mercy we inherit. The fount of grace flows full and free, O pardoned soul, for thee, for thee. 4 By faith alone, for Jesus' sake, Each ransomed sinner may partake Of His abounding merit. If in His promise ye abide, By faith shall ye be justified, And blest with His free Spirit. His righteousness the just shall own By faith alone, by faith alone. Amen.

We Christians Should Ever Consider

Author: Haquin Spegel Hymnal: HOoS1926 #445 (1926) Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.9.8 Lyrics: 1 We Christians should ever consider What Christ hath so graciously taught; For He who hath made us His children Would have us retain in our thought How little things earthly do merit, Lest we, who should heaven inherit, The heavenly prize leave unsought. 2 All nature a sermon may preach thee; The birds sing thy murmurs away; The birds, which, nor sowing nor reaping, God fails not to feed day by day; And He who those creatures doth cherish, He never will leave thee to perish; Or art thou not better than they? 3 The lilies, nor toiling nor spinning, Their clothing how gorgeous and fair! What tints in their tiny robes woven, What wondrous devices are there! All Solomon's stores could not render One festival robe of such splendor As the modest field lilies do wear. 4 If God o'er the grass and the flowers Such delicate beauty hath spread,-- The flowers which to-day are so fragrant, To-morrow are faded and dead;-- Oh why, then, should earthly cares fret thee? Thy Father will never forget thee, Nor fail to provide thee with bread. Amen.

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: HOoS1926 #446 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my All shalt be. Perish ev'ry fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition: God and heav'n are still my own. 2 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation, Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Saviour died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thine earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen.

So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 5 Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!

Thy grace is ever near, Thy Spirit ever here, Drawing to Thee. 2 Ages on ages rolled, Ere earth appeared, Yet Thine unmeasured love The way prepared; Long hast Thou yearned for me That I might nearer be, Nearer to Thee! 3 Thou, Christ, hast come to earth, My sin to bear, My every wound to heal, My pain to share. "God in the flesh" for me Now brings me nearer Thee, Nearer to Thee! 4 Lo! all my debt is paid, My guilt is gone. See! He has risen for me, My throne is won. Thanks, O my God, to Thee! None now can nearer be, Nearer to Thee! 5 Welcome, then, to Thy home, Blest One in Three! As Thou hast promised, come! Come, Lord, to me! Work, Thou, O God, through me, Live Thou, O God, in me, Even in me! 6 By the baptismal stream Which made me Thine, By the dear flesh and blood Thy love made mine, Purge You all sin from me, That I may nearer be, Nearer to Thee! 7 Surely it matters not What earth may bring; Death is of no account, Grace will I sing. Nothing remains for me Save to be nearer Thee, Nearer to Thee! Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Sanctification; Christ Longing for Languages: English Tune Title: KEDRON

Author: Frederick Whitfield; Rev. Ernst Adrian Zetterstrand Hymnal: HOoS1926 #450 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am full of sin; My soul is dark and guilty, My heart is dead within. I need the cleansing fountain, Where I can always flee, The blood of Christ most precious, The sinner’s perfect plea. 2 I need Thee, blesséd Jesus, For I am very poor; A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store; I need the love of Jesus To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay. 3 I need Thee, blesséd Jesus, I need a friend like Thee, A friend to soothe and pity, A friend to care for me: I need the heart of Jesus To feel each anxious care, To tell my every trouble, And all my sorrows share. 4 I need Thee, blesséd Jesus, I need Thee day by day, To fill me with Thy fullness, To lead me on my way; I need Thy Holy Spirit To teach me what I am, To show me more of Jesus, To point me to the Lamb.
