Jesus Paid It All Written By Elvina Hall
29
Jan

A beloved gospel hymn rejoicing in the finished work of Christ and the cleansing power of His blood.

I hear the Savior say
Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness watch and pray
Find in Me thine all in all

Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Lord now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone
Can change the lepers spots
And melt the heart of stone

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete
Ill lay my trophies down
All down at Jesus feet

Nothing But the Blood Written By Robert Lowry
29
Jan

A simple and powerful gospel hymn proclaiming that salvation and cleansing come only through the blood of Jesus.

What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

For my pardon this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my cleansing this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Trust and Obey Written By John H Sammis
29
Jan

A joyful gospel hymn teaching that peace and happiness come through trusting and obeying Christ.

When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word
What a glory He sheds on our way
While we do His good will
He abides with us still
And with all who will trust and obey

Trust and obey
For theres no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey

Not a shadow can rise
Not a cloud in the sky
But His smile quickly drives it away
Not a doubt nor a fear
Not a sigh nor a tear
Can abide while we trust and obey

Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet
Or well walk by His side in the way
What He says we will do
Where He sends we will go
Never fear only trust and obey

Take My Life and Let It Be Written By Frances Ridley Havergal
29
Jan

A devotional hymn offering every part of life to the service and glory of God.

Take my life and let it be
Consecrated Lord to Thee
Take my moments and my days
Let them flow in ceaseless praise

Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee

Take my voice and let me sing
Always only for my King
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee

Take my silver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose

Take my will and make it Thine
It shall be no longer mine
Take my heart it is Thine own
It shall be Thy royal throne

Just As I Am Written By Charlotte Elliott

Jan

A beloved invitation hymn expressing honest surrender and trust in the mercy of Christ.

Just as I am without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou biddst me come to Thee
O Lamb of God I come I come

Just as I am and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God I come I come

Just as I am though tossed about
With many a conflict many a doubt
Fightings and fears within without
O Lamb of God I come I come

Just as I am Thou wilt receive
Wilt welcome pardon cleanse relieve
Because Thy promise I believe
O Lamb of God I come I come

Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy Written By Joseph Hart
29
Jan

A powerful evangelical hymn calling all people to repentance and the open arms of Christ.

Come ye sinners poor and needy
Weak and wounded sick and sore
Jesus ready stands to save you
Full of pity love and power

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
In the arms of my dear Savior
O there are ten thousand charms

Come ye thirsty come and welcome
Gods free bounty glorify
True belief and true repentance
Every grace that brings you nigh

Let not conscience make you linger
Nor of fitness fondly dream
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him

Amazing Grace Written By John Newton
29
Jan

One of the most beloved hymns in history written by John Newton expressing the transforming power of divine grace.

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

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first…

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

Yea when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God who called me here below
Will be forever mine

Holy Holy Holy Written By Reginald Heber

Jan

A timeless Trinitarian hymn celebrating the holiness and majesty of God.

Holy holy holy Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee
Holy holy holy merciful and mighty
God in three Persons blessed Trinity

Holy holy holy all the saints adore Thee
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be

Holy holy holy though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power in love and purity

Holy holy holy Lord God Almighty
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea
Holy holy holy merciful and mighty
God in three Persons blessed Trinity

A powerful hymn calling all creation to worship and crown Jesus as Lord of all.

All hail the power of Jesus name
Let angels prostrate fall
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown Him Lord of all

Ye chosen seed of Israels race
Ye ransomed from the fall
Hail Him who saves you by His grace
And crown Him Lord of all

Let every kindred every tribe
On this terrestrial ball
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all

O that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall
Well join the everlasting song
And crown Him Lord of all

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing Written By Robert Robinson
29
Jan

A heartfelt prayer for God to tune the believers heart toward grace and steadfast love.

Come Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount Im fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

Here I raise mine Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help Im come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily Im constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee

Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Heres my heart O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
