Saviour, Thy dying love





1. Saviour, Thy dying love
Thou gavest me.
Nor should I aught withhold,
dear Lord, from Thee.
In love my soul would bow,
my heart fulfill its vow,
some offering bring Thee now,
something for Thee.

2. O’er the blest mercy seat,
pleading for me,
my feeble faith looks up,
Jesus, to Thee.
Help me the cross to bear,
Thy wondrous love declare,
some song to raise, or prayer,
something for Thee.

3. Give me a faithful heart,
likeness to Thee.
That each departing day
henceforth may see
some work of love begun,
some deed of kindness done,
some wanderer sought and won,
something for Thee.

4. All that I am and have,
Thy gifts so free,
in joy, in grief, through life,
o Lord, for Thee!
And when Thy face I see,
my ransomed soul shall be
through all eternity,
something for Thee.

My hope is built on nothing less



1. My hope is built on nothing less
than Christ, His blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus´ name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
//: all other ground is sinking sand ://

2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
//: all other ground is sinking sand ://

3. His oath, His covenant, His blood
support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
//: all other ground is sinking sand ://

4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
oh, may I then in Him be found,
dressed in His righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
//: all other ground is sinking sand ://

Rock of Ages





1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in Thee.
Let the water and the blood,
from Thy riven side that flowed,
be of sin the double cure,
save me from its guilt and power.

2. Not the labours of my hands
can fulfill Thy law´s demands.
Could my zeal no respite now,
could my tears for ever flow,
all for sin could not atone,
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

3. Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to Thy cross I cling,
naked, come to Thee for dress,
helpless, look to Thee for grace.
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
wash me, Saviour, or I die.

4. While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyes shall close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in Thee.

I shall not be, I shall not be moved




1. //: I shall not be,
I shall not be moved ://
Just like a tree planted by those waters,
I shall not be moved.

2. //: On my way to glory
I shall not be moved ://
Just like a tree...

3. //: Sanctified and holy,
I shall not be moved ://
Just like a tree...

4. //: I shall not be,
I shall not be moved ://
Just like a tree...

5. //: On the Rock of ages
I shall not be moved ://
Just like a tre...
