The attraction of the Cross

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals 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

Who waits for thy salvation, Lord, Shall thy salvation see. Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Faith; Encouragement and invitation To the weak in faith; Weakness of Faith; Salvation approaching

Moderation, or the saint indeed

Author: Needham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 36 hymnals First Line: Happy the man whose cautious steps Lyrics: 1 Happy the man whose cautious steps, still keep the golden mean; Whose life by wisdom's rules well form'd Declares a conscience clean. 2 Not of himself he highly thinks, Nor acts the boaster's part; His modest tongue the language speaks Of his still humbler heart. 3 Not in base scandal's arts he deals, For truth dwells in his breast; With grief he sees his neighbour's faults And thinks and hopes the best. 4 What blessings bounteous heaven bestows He takes with thankful heart With temperance he both eats and drinks, And gives the poor a part. 5 To sect or party, his large soul Disdains to be confin'd; The good he loves of every name And prays for all mankind. 6 Pure is his zeal, the offspring fair Of truth and heavenly love; The bigot's rage can never dwell Where rests the peaceful dove. 7 His business is to keep his heart, Each passion to control; Nobly ambitious well to rule The empire of his soul. 8 Not on the world his heart is set, His treasure is above; Nothing beneath the sovereign good, Can claim his highest love.
