A Word of Grace

Praise to thee, thou great Creator! Praise to thee from ev'ry tongue; Join, my soul, with ev'ry creature, Join the universal song.

Truth eternal, truth divine, In thine ancient fulness shine! Burst the fetters of the mind From the millions of mankind!

To Christ be loyal and be true; His banner be unfurled, And borne aloft till is secured The conquest of the world. To Christ, the Lord, be true, For He will go with you, And help you all your conflicts thro'; To Christ, the Lord, be true.

Sound, sound the truth abroad! Bear ye the word of God Through the wide world; Tell what our Lord has done, Tell how the day is won, And from his lofty throne Satan is hurled.

I Waited patient for the Lord, He bow'd to hear my cry; He saw me resting on his word, And brought salvation nigh.

Jesus, Thou art the sinner's friend, As such I look to Thee. Now in the depths of Thy great love, O Lord, remember me. Remember Thy pure word of grace, Remember Calvary, Remember all Thy dying groans, And then remember me. Thou wondrous advocate with God, I yield myself to Thee. While Thou art sitting on Thy throne, O Lord, remember me. I own I'm guilty, own I'm vile, Yet Thy salvation...

Jesus died my soul to save; Blessed truth! Blessed truth! Jesus died my soul to save From a world of woe. When he lives on earth a stranger, He had oft to fly from danger, That he might the work perform He had come to do.

O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer Greatest treasure of my longing soul My God, like You there is no other True delight is found in You alone Your grace, a well too deep to fathom Your love exceeds the heaven's reach Your truth, a fount of perfect wisdom My highest good and my unending need O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer Strong defender of my weary heart My sword to fight the cruel deceiver And...

I need Thee ev'ry hour, Most gracious Lord; No tender voice like Thine Can peace afford. I need Thee, oh, I need Thee; Ev'ry hour I need Thee; Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee.

Pray, Christian, pray, Always and never faint; God hears thy humble plaint, Pray, Christian, pray, Ask for the need is sore, Seek for His secret store, Knock at His mercy's door, Pray, Christian, pray.

Watch and pray that when the Master cometh, If at morning, noon, or night, He may find a lamp in every window, Trimmed, and burning clear and bright.  Watch and pray, the Lord commandeth; Watch and pray, ’twill not be long. Soon He’ll gather home His loved ones, To the happy vale of song. 

Hear our prayer, O LORD, hear our prayer, O LORD; incline thine ear to us, and grant us thy peace

Children of the heav'nly Father,  safely in His bosom gather; nestling bird nor star in heaven  such a refuge e’er was given. God His own doth tend and nourish; in His holy courts they flourish.  From all evil things He spares them;  in His mighty arms He bears them.  Neither life nor death shall ever  from the Lord His children sever;  unto them His grace He showeth, and their sorrows all He...

In loving kindness Jesus came My soul in mercy to reclaim, And from the depths of sin and shame Through grace He lifted me. From sinking sand He lifted me, With tender hand He lifted me, From shades of night to plains of light, O praise His name, He lifted me!

Once far from God and dead in sin, No light my heart could see; But in God’s Word the light I found, Now Christ liveth in me.  Christ liveth in me, Christ liveth in me, Oh! what a salvation this, That Christ liveth in me. 

Servant of God, well done! Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy master’s joy.

More love to Thee, O Christ, More love to Thee! Hear Thou the prayer I make On bended knee; This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee! Once earthly joy I craved, Sought peace and rest; Now Thee alone I seek,  Give what is best; This all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee!

How rich a treasure we possess In Jesus Christ, our Lord His blood, our ransom and defense His glory, our reward The sum of all created things Is worthless in compare For our inheritance is Him Whose praise angels declareAnd how free and costly was the love Displayed upon the cross While we were dead in untold sin The Sovereign purchased us The will of God, the Father Demonstrated through the Son...

My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Savior divine! Now hear me while I pray, take all my guilt away; O let me from this day be wholly Thine.

I know not why God’s wondrous grace to me is daily shown, nor why, with mercy, Christ in love redeemed me for his own. But “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I’ve committed unto him against that day.”

We have no outward righteousness, No merits or good works, to plead; We only can be saved by grace; Thy grace, O Lord, is free indeed. Save us by grace, thro' faith alone, A faith thou must thyself impart; A faith that would by works be shown, A faith that purifies the heart:

Jesus, priceless treasure,  source of purest pleasure,  friend most sure and true:  long my heart was burning,  fainting much and yearning,  thirsting, Lord, for you.  Yours I am, O spotless Lamb,  so will I let nothing hide you,  seek no joy beside you! 

Jesus, Thou joy of loving hearts, Thou fount of life, Thou light of men, from the best bliss that earth imparts, we turn unfilled to Thee again. Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; Thou savest those that on Thee call; to them that seek Thee, Thou art good, to them that find Thee all in all. We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, and long to feast upon Thee still; we drink of Thee, the Fountain-head,...

Rise up, O church of God! Have done with lesser things; Give heart and soul and mind and strength To serve the King of kings.

O, church arise and put your armor on Hear the call of Christ our captain For now the weak can say that they are strong In the strength that God has givenWith shield of faith and belt of truth We'll stand against the devil's lies An army bold whose battle cry is love Reaching out to those in darkness Our call to war, to love the captive soul, But to rage against the captor And with the swo...
