Christian Hymns

[Remnantrob]

Today's hymn that woke me up from sleep is At the Cross:

1. Alas! and did my Savior bleed
   And did my Sov’reign die?
   Would He devote that sacred head
   For such a worm as I?
2. Was it for crimes that I had done
   He groaned upon the tree?
   Amazing pity! grace unknown!
   And love beyond degree!
3. Well might the sun in darkness hide
   And shut his glories in,
   When Christ, the mighty Maker died,
   For man the creature’s sin.
4. Thus might I hide my blushing face
   While His dear cross appears,
   Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
   And melt my eyes to tears.
5. But drops of grief can ne’er repay
   The debt of love I owe:
   Here, Lord, I give myself away,
   ’Tis all that I can do.
   • Refrain (Hudson):
     At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
     And the burden of my heart rolled away,
     It was there by faith I received my sight,
     And now I am happy all the day!
    
   • Refrain (Campmeeting):
     I do believe, I do believe
     That Jesus died for me;
     And through His blood, His precious blood
     I am from sin set free.

This hymn was sung at my church last Sabbath and it was just touching.

Cover with His life

Look upon Jesus, sinless is He;

Father, impute His life unto me.

My life of scarlet, my sin and woe,

Cover with His life, whiter than snow.

 

Refrain

Cover with His life, whiter than snow;

Fullness of His life then shall I know;

My life of scarlet, my sin and woe,

Cover with His life, whither than snow.

 

Deep are the wounds transgression has made;

Red are the stains; my soul is afraid.

O to be covered, Jesus, with Thee,

Safe from the law that now judgeth me!

 

Refrain

Cover with His life, whiter than snow;

Fullness of His life then shall I know;

My life of scarlet, my sin and woe,

Cover with His life, whither than snow.

 

Longing the joy of pardon to know;

Jesus holds out a robe white as snow;

"Lord, I accept it! Leaving my own,

Gladly I wear Thy pure life alone."

 

Refrain

Cover with His life, whiter than snow;

Fullness of His life then shall I know;

My life of scarlet, my sin and woe,

Cover with His life, whither than snow.

 

Reconciled by His death for my sin,

Justified by His life pure and clean,

Sanctified by obeying His word,

Glorified when returneth my Lord.

 

Refrain

Cover with His life, whiter than snow;

Fullness of His life then shall I know;

My life of scarlet, my sin and woe,

Cover with His life, whither than snow.

For me, It is well with my soul stands out. My wife had 2 miscarriages and we were attending Sunday service right after DNC procedure. You can imagine how it would have been. I think anyone who knows the background to this song would be able to understand my situation better. I generally don't cry a lot, but that day burst open!! The peace and comfort Holy Spirit brought to my soul through this song was overwhelming.

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to know^a
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain:
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
A song in the night, oh my soul! ^b

And we sing this Psalm for every Communion service. My prayer every time!

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with your free Spirit.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.

I recall thinking at my new church, man... All these hymns are about the blood of Christ... And then there was that duh! Moment where I said well of course it's all about Christ's blood, who else died for my sins? I do enjoy some contemporary music but the old hymns do my soul good... On a hill far away.. there stood an old rugged cross......☕???????

1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!  O what a foretaste of glory divine!  Heir of salvation, purchase of God,  born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.  Refrain:  This is my story, this is my song,  praising my Savior all the day long;  this is my story, this is my song,  praising my Savior all the day long.  2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,  visions of rapture now burst on my sight;  angels de byscending bring from above  echoes of mercy, whispers of love.  (Refrain)  3. Perfect submission, all is at rest;  I in my Savior am happy and blest,  watching and waiting, looking above,  filled with his goodness, lost in his love.  ☝??❤???????????   Now that I see these words altogether I think Ineed to have them cross stitched?

As a teen-My  Scottish Dad -would be home on weekends helping me dust and clean the apartment while Mom worked at the nursing home.  Dad played  his favorite records'Pipe band',marches and then --THE GREAT FINALLY-----AMAZING GRACE!!! 

?Thanks Dad-for the lovely memory?

??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.

2

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
  And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
  The hour I first believed!

3

The Lord hath promised good to me,
  His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
  As long as life endures.

4

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 first begun.??.
