CAC GHB 261 : GRACE TIS A CHARMING SOUND

Hymn 261: Grace! 'Tis a charming sound, Harmonious to the ear; Heaven with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear. Grace first contrived the way To save rebellious man, And all the steps that grace display Which drew the wondrous plan. Grace first inscribed my name In God's eternal book; 'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb, Who all my sorrows took. Grace led my wandering feet To tread the heavenly road; And new supplies each hour I meet While pressing on to God. Grace taught my soul to pray And made mine eyes o'erflow; 'Twas grace that kept me to this day And will not let me go. Oh , let thy grace inspire My soul with strength divine! May all my pow’rs to thee aspire And al my days be thine.

CAC GHB 244 : NOT ALL THE BLOOD OF BEAST

Not all the blood of beasts-244 Not all the blood of beasts On Jewish altars slain Could give the guilty conscience peace Or wash away the stain. But Christ, the heav’nly Lamb, Takes all our sins away; A sacrifice of nobler name And richer blood than they. My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of Thine, While, like a penitent, I stand, And there confess my sin. My soul looks back to see The burdens Thou didst bear When hanging on the cursed tree, And hopes her guilt was there. Believing, we rejoice To see the curse remove; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, And sing His bleeding love.

CAC GHB 245 : COME O THOU ALL VICTORIOUS LORD

Hymn 245: Come, O Thou all-victorious Lord! Thy power to us make known; Strike with the hammer of Thy Word, And break these hearts of stone. O that we all might now begin Our foolishness to mourn; And turn at once from every sin, And to our Savior turn! Give us ourselves and Thee to know, In this our gracious day; Repentance unto life bestow, And take our sins away. Conclude us first in unbelief, And freely then release; Fill every soul with sacred grief, And then with sacred peace. Impoverish, Lord, and then relieve, And then enrich the poor; The knowledge of our sickness give, The knowledge of our cure. That blessèd sense of guilt impart, And then remove the load; Trouble, and wash the troubled heart In the atoning blood. Our desperate state through sin declare, And speak our sins forgiv’n; By perfect holiness prepare, And take us up to Heav’n.

CAC GHB 248 : A WHITHER SHOULD I GO

248-Ah whither should I go For the love of Christ constrains us 2 cor 5:14 Ah whither should I go Burdened and sick and faint To whom should my troubles show And pour out my complaint My Saviour bids me come Ah why do I delay He calls the weary sinner home And yet from Him I stay What is it keeps me back From which I cannot part Which will not let my Saviour take Possession of my heart? Some cursed thing unknown Must surely lurk within Some idol which I will not own Some secret bosom-sin. Jesus the hindrance show Which I have feared to see Yet let me now consent to know What keeps me out of thee? Searcher of hearts in mine Thy trying power display Into its darkest corners shine And take the veil away I now believe in thee Compassion reigns alone According to my faith to me O let it, Lord be done! In me is all the bar Which thou wouldst fain remove Remove it and I shall declare That God is only love

CAC GHB 252 : MY SINS O THE PEACE GIVING THOUGHT

MY SINS O THE PEACE GIVING THOUGHT-252 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven whose sin is covered Ps 32:1 My sins o the peace giving thought Are buried beneath the wild wave Since God in His mercy has brought His wonderful power to save Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea Tis the word of the Lord and sufficient for me Though the billows may roar and may break on the shore They are lost in its depths and can reach me no more Of the place where they’re buried Only God holds the key In the depths, the depths of the sea No more shall they rise to distress Or trouble the peace of my soul As o’er them in power to bless God’s waves of forgiveness shall roll No tempest can bring to the light The sins he buried for aye My soul precious is in His sight And He will protect it always

CAC GHB 257 : AMAZING GRACE HOW SWEET THE SOUND

MAKE MELODY IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD 257-Amazing grace how sweet the sound Those who receive the abundance of grace and the face gift of righteousness reign in life Rom 5:17 Amazing grace how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me; I once was lost, but now am found Was blind, but now I see. T'was grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toil and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fail And mortal life shall cease I shall possess within the vial A life of joy and peace. When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we've first begun.

CAC GHB 251 : GREAT GOD OF WONDERS ALL THE WAY

Hymn 251: Great God of wonders! All thy ways Display the attributes divine; But countless acts of pard’ning grace Beyond thine other wonders shine: Who is a pard’ning God loke Thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? In wonder lost, with trembling joy We take the pardon of our God: Pardon for crimes of deepest dye, A pardon bought with Jesus blood: Who is a pard’ning God like Thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? Pardon-from an offended God! Pardon- for sins of deepest sye! Pardon- bestow’d through Jesus blood! Pardon-that brings the rebel nigh! Who is a pard’ning God like Thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? O may this strange, this matchless grace. This God-like miracle of love, Fill the wide earth with grateful praise, As now it fills the choirs above! Who is a pard’ning God like Thee? Or who has a grace so rich and free?
