But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give my self away
’Tis all that I can do.
Praise to the Father, made of none,
Praise to the sole-begotten Son,
Praise to the Holy Spirit be—
Mysterious Godhead, One in Three!
To Thee, O unbegotten One,
And Thee, O sole begotten Son,
And Thee, O Holy Ghost, we raise
Our equal and eternal praise.
Beautiful Savior, King of Creation
Son of God and Son of Man!
Truly I’d love Thee, truly I’d serve Thee,
Light of my soul, my joy, my crown.
O boundless salvation! deep ocean of love,
O fullness of mercy, Christ brought from above,
The whole world redeeming, so rich and so free,
Now flowing for all, now flowing for all,
Now flowing for all, come, roll over me!
My sins they are many, their stains are so deep,
And bitter the tears of remorse that I weep;
But useless is weeping; thou great crimson sea,
Thy waters can cleanse me, thy waters can cleanse me,
Thy waters can cleanse me, come, roll over me!
O ocean of mercy, oft longing I’ve stood
On the brink of thy wonderful, life giving flood!
Once more I have reachèd this soul cleansing sea,
I will not go back, I will not go back,
I will not go back till it rolls over me.
And now, hallelujah! the rest of my days
Shall gladly be spent in promoting His praise
Who opened His bosom to pour out this sea
Of boundless salvation, of boundless salvation,
Of boundless salvation for you and for me.
Christ is risen! Hallelujah!
Risen our victorious Head!
Sing His praises! Hallelujah!
Christ is risen from the dead!
Gratefully our hearts adore Him,
As His light once more appears,
Bowing down in joy before Him,
Rising up from grief and tears,
Christ is risen! Hallelujah!
Risen our victorious Head!
Sing His praises! Hallelujah!
Christ is risen from the dead!
Blessed Cross of Jesus 1877
Verse 1 Wand’rer, come, there’s room for thee,
At the cross of Jesus;
Come and taste salvation free
At the cross of Jesus.
Verse 2 Come and bring thy burden now
To the cross of Jesus;
Lay thy burning, throbbing brow
At the cross of Jesus.
Chorus Praise the Lord, O my soul
My wandering heart finds grace in Thee
I praise you, Lord, from the depths of my soul
At the cross, I’ve been set free.
Verse 3 O what comfort thou wilt find
At the cross of Jesus;
Love, thy broken heart will bind
At the cross of Jesus.
Verse 4 See the crimson waters flow
At the cross of Jesus;
Come and tell thy every woe
At the cross of Jesus.
Chorus Praise the Lord, O my soul
My weary heart finds rest in Thee
I praise you, Lord, from the depths of my soul
At the cross, I have been set free.
Chorus 2 Blessèd cross! precious cross!
There my hopes are twining;
There I see a Father’s love
Through a Savior shining.
Bridge See the chains of death are broken;
Earth below and Heav’n above
Joy in each amazing token
Of His rising, Lord of love;
He forevermore shall reign
By the Father’s side,
Till He comes to earth again,
Comes to claim His Bride.
