92 L.M. Isaac Watts

Of our Lord’s redeeming love.

6 [He subdued the infernal powers, Those tremendous foes of ours; From their cursèd empire drove, Mighty in redeeming love.]

7 Hither, then, your music bring; Strike aloud each cheerful string; Join, ye saints, the hosts above; Join to praise redeeming love.

91 L.M. John Newton Christ a Redeemer and Friend. Matt. 11. 19; Luke 7. 34

Poor, weak, and worthless though I am, I have a rich, almighty Friend; Jesus, the Saviour, is his name; He freely loves, and without end.

2 He ransomed me from hell with blood, And by his power my foes controlled; He found me wandering far from God, And brought me to his chosen fold.

3 He cheers my heart, my needs supplies, And says that I shall shortly be Enthroned with him above the skies; O what a Friend is Christ to me!

JOHN NEWTON 1725

92 L.M. Isaac Watts The Strength of Christ’s Redeeming Love. Song. 8. 5

Who is this fair one in distress, That travels from this wilderness; And, pressed with sorrows and with sins, On her beloved Lord she leans?

2 This is the spouse of Christ our God, Bought with the treasures of his blood; And her request and her complaint Is but the voice of every saint:

3 “O let my name engraven stand Both on thy heart and on thy hand; Seal me upon thy arm, and wear That pledge of love for ever there.

4 “Stronger than death thy love is known, Which floods of wrath can never drown; And hell and earth in vain combine, To quench a fire so much divine.

5 “But I am jealous of my heart, Lest it should once from thee depart; Then let thy name be well impressed, As a fair signet, on my breast.

6 “Till thou hast brought me to thy home, Where fears and doubts can never come, Thy countenance let me often see, And often thou shalt hear from me.”

93 8.7.4. J. Evans “It is finished.” John 19. 30

Hark! the voice of love and mercy Sounds aloud from Calvary! See! it rends the rocks asunder, Shakes the earth and veils the sky! “It is finished!” Hear the dying Saviour cry!

2 “It is finished!” – O what pleasure Do these charming words afford! Heavenly blessings, without measure, Flow to us from Christ the Lord. “It is finished!” Saints, the dying words record.

3 [Finished, all the types and shadows Of the ceremonial law; Finished all that God had promised; Death and hell no more shall awe. “It is finished!” Saints, from hence your comfort draw.]

4 Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs; Join to sing the pleasing theme; Saints on earth, and all in heaven, Join to praise Immanuel’s name. Hallelujah! Glory to the bleeding Lamb! NO RECORD

94 C.M. Isaac Watts Redemption and Protection. Ps. 40. 2, 3; 116. 8

Arise, my soul, my joyful powers,

And triumph in thy God; Awake, my voice, and loud proclaim His glorious grace abroad.

2 He raised me from the depths of sin, The gates of gaping hell; And fixed my standing more secure Than ’twas before I fell.

3 The arms of everlasting love Beneath my soul he placed, And on the Rock of Ages set My slippery footsteps fast.

4 The city of my blest abode Is walled around with grace; Salvation for a bulwark stands, To shield the sacred place.

5 Satan may vent his sharpest spite, And all his legions roar; Almighty mercy guards my life, And bounds his raging power.
