The attraction of the Cross

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CXXXVIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Yonder— amazing sight!— I see Lyrics: 1 Yonder— amazing sight!— I see The incarnate son of God, Expiring on the accursed tree, And welt'ring in his blood. 2 Behold a purple torrent run Down from his hands and head: The crimson tide puts out the sun; His groans awake the dead. 3 The trembling earth, the darken'd sky, Proclaim the truth aloud; And with th' amaz'd centurion cry, "This is the Son of God." 4 So great, so vast a sacrifice May well my hope revive: If God's own Son thus bleeds and dies, The sinner sure may live. 5 O that these cords of love divine, Might draw me, Lord to thee! Thou hast my heart, it shall be thine— Thine it shall ever be! Topics: The Sufferings and Death of Christ; Attractions of the Cross of Christ Attract Scripture: John 12:32 Languages: English

Who waits for thy salvation, Lord, Shall thy salvation see.

Wesley Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CLXXXVI (1792) First Line: Christ, our passover, is slain Lyrics: 1 Christ, our passover, is slain, To set his people free, Free from sin's Egyptian chain, And Pharaoh's tyranny. Lord, that we may now depart, And truly serve our pardoning God, Sprinkle every house and heart With thine atoning blood. 2 Let the angel of the Lord His awful charge fulfil, Let his pestilential sword The first-born victims kill; Safe in snares and deaths we dwell, Protected by that crimson sign, From the rage of earth and hell, And from the wrath divine. 3 Wilt thou not a difference make Betwixt thy friend and foe, Vengeance on the Egyptians take, And grace to Israel shew? Know'st thou not, most righteous God, We on the paschal lamb rely? See us cover'd with the blood, And pass thy people by.

An Address to the Holy Spirit

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CDLXVIII (1792) First Line: Descend celestial Dove Lyrics: 1 Descend celestial dove, And make thy presence known; Reveal our Savior’s love And seal us for thine own, Unbless'd by thee, our works are vain, Nor can we e’er acceptance gain. 2 When our incarnate God, The sovereign prince of light, In Jordan’s swelling flood Receiv'd the holy rite; In open view, thy form came down, And dove-like flew, the king to crown. 3 The day was never known, Since time began its race, On which such glory shone, On which was shewn such grace, As that which shed in Jordan’s stream, On Jesus’ head, the heavenly beam. 4 Continue still to shine, And fill us with thy fire: This ordinance is thine, Do thou our souls inspire! Thou wilt attend on all thy sons "Till time shall end," thy promise runs. Topics: Baptism Languages: English

And make me thy permanent home, And seal me eternally thine.
