Colossians 1

• [Col 1:12] For Thy Dear Saints

  For Thy dear saints, O Lord, [or, For Thy dear saint, O Lord,] Who strove in Thee to live, Who followed Thee, obeyed, adored, Our grateful hymn receive. They all in life and death, With Thee their Lord in view, Learned from Thy Holy Spirit’s breath To suffer and to do. Thine earthly members fit To join Thy saints above, In one communion ever knit, One fellowship of love. Jesus, Thy Name we bless, And humbly pray that we May follow them in holiness, Who lived and died for Thee.

• [Col 1:14] His Blood Availed For Me

  There’s a crimson tide from the Savior’s side, And it purgeth all who plunge therein; O its healing stream doth the soul redeem, And it cleanseth from all sin. Refrain Hallelujah! Hallelujah! It cleansed my heart and made me free; Hallelujah! Hallelujah! His blood availed for me. There’s a boundless sea flowing full and free, From the cross where Jesus bled and died; O its precious flow washes white as snow, And its mercies e’er abide. Refrain From the contrite heart He doth ne’er depart, But He offers pardon o’er and o’er; He the sins doth roll from the burdened soul, And remembers them no more. Refrain

• [Col 1:15] O God, Unseen Yet Ever Near

  O God, unseen yet ever near, Thy presence may we feel; And thus inspired with holy fear, Before Thine altar kneel. Here may Thy faithful people know The blessings of Thy love, The streams that through the desert flow, The manna from above. We come, obedient to Thy Word, To feast on heav’nly food; Our meat the body of the Lord, Our drink His precious blood. Thus may we all Thy Word obey, For we, O God, are Thine; And go rejoicing on our way, Renewed with strength divine.

• [Col 1:16] Let All That Breathe, Jehovah Praise

  Let all that breathe Jehovah praise; Almighty, all-creating Lord! Let earth and Heav’n His power confess, Brought out of nothing by His word. He spake the word, and it was done; The universe His word obeyed; His Word is His eternal Son, And Christ the whole creation made. Jesus, the Lord and God most high, Maker of all mankind and me! Me Thou hast made to glorify, To know, and love, and live to Thee. Wherefore to Thee my heart I give, For Thou Thyself dost give the power; And if for Thee on earth I live, Thee I shall soon in Heav’n adore.

• [Col 1:18] From The Table Now Retiring

  From the table now retiring Which for us the Lord hath spread, May our souls, refreshment finding, Grow in all things like our Head. His example while beholding May our lives His image bear; Him our Lord and Master calling, His commands may we revere. Love to God and man displaying, Walking steadfast in His way, Joy attend us in believing, Peace from God, through endless day.

• [Col 1:20] By The Cross Of Jesus Standing

  By the cross of Jesus standing, Love our straitened souls expanding, Taste we now the peace and grace! Health from yonder tree is flowing, Heav’nly light is on it glowing, From the blessed Sufferer’s face. Here is pardon’s pledge and token, Guilt’s strong chain forever broken, Righteous peace securely made; Brightens now the brow once shaded, Freshens now the face once faded, Peace with God now makes us glad. All the love of God is yonder, Love above all thought and wonder, Perfect love that casts out fear! Strength, like dew, is here distilling, Glorious life our souls is filling, Life eternal, only here! Here the living water welleth; Here the Rock, now smitten, telleth Of salvation freely giv’n: This the fount of love and pity, This the pathway to the city, This the very gate of Heav’n.

• [Col 1:20] Cross Of Jesus, The

  I saw the cross of Jesus, When burdened with my sin; I sought the cross of Jesus To give me peace within; I brought my sins to Jesus, He cleansed me by His blood; And in the cross of Jesus I found my peace with God. I love the cross of Jesus, It tells me what I am— A vile and guilty creature Saved only thro’ the Lamb; No righteousness or merit, No beauty can I plead; Yet in the cross of Jesus My title there I read. I clasp the cross of Jesus In every trying hour, My sure and certain refuge, My never failing tower; In every fear and conflict, I more than conqu’ror am; Living, I’m safe—or dying— Thro’ Christ the risen Lamb.

• [Col 1:20] Sinners, Rejoice: Your Peace Is Made

  Sinners, rejoice: your peace is made; Your Savior on the cross hath bled: Your God, in Jesus reconciled, On all His works again hath smiled; Hath grace through Him and blessing giv’n, To all in earth and all in Heav’n. Angels rejoice in Jesus’ grace, And vie with man’s more favored race; The blood that did for us atone, Conferred on them some gift unknown; Their joy through Jesus’ pains abounds, They triumph by His glorious wounds. Or, stablished and confirmed by Him Who did our lower world redeem, Secure they keep their blest estate, Firm on an everlasting seat; Or, raised above themselves, aspire, In bliss improved, in glory higher. Him they beheld, our conquering God, Returned with garments rolled in blood! They saw, and kindled at the sight, And filled with shouts the realms of light; With loudest hallelujahs met, And fell, and kissed His bleeding feet. They saw Him in the courts above. With all His recent prints of love; The wounds, the blood! they heard its voice, That heightened all their highest joys; They felt it sprinkled through the skies, And shared that better sacrifice. Not angel tongues can e’er express The unutterable happiness; Nor human hearts can e’er conceive The bliss wherein through Christ they live, But all your Heav’n, ye glorious powers, And all your God, is doubly ours!

• [Col 1:20] There Is Peace

  Thro’ the sacrifice of Jesus the Lamb, Thro’ the blood full atonement is made, He has carried all our burdens of sorrow, And on Him our transgressions were laid. Refrain There is peace thro’ the blood, Thro’ the precious blood He offers so free; There is peace thro’ the blood, O that precious blood is flowing for me. Thro’ the sacrifice of Jesus the Lamb, Thro’ the blood of the Lamb that was slain, We are rescued from our bondage forever, And the way of redemption is plain. Refrain Thro’ the sacrifice of Jesus the Lamb, Unto all who repent and believe, What a comfort in the promise He left us— Thro’ the blood we may pardon receive. Refrain As in Adam we are ruined and lost, So in Christ shall our life be restored, And the Father in His mercy will own us Thro’ the blood of our crucified Lord. Refrain

• [Col 1:27] How Beautiful The Mystery

  HOW BEAUTIFUL THE MYSTERY © 2000 Eric Schu­mach­er. Per­miss­ion grant­ed to re­pro­duce un­al­tered text in non­sal­a­ble, tem­po­ra­ry wor­ship me­dia. All other us­es re­quire the per­miss­ion of the au­thor. How beautiful the mystery: Th’eternal Word comes down To live and love and die and rise, To claim His victor’s crown. Content we find Him cradled there Amongst the filth and beasts. Who would believe that He will be Our guide from death to peace! By angry swords and dark decree He’s driven from His land. But still He humbly bows His head To trust His Father’s hand. The spotless Lamb lays down His life, A curse upon a cross. Then lives that He might guarantee That no sheep will be lost. O! May our hearts grow ever fond Of Mary’s precious boy: Our Christ, our hope, our heart’s desire, Our King and Sov’reign Joy!

• [Col 1:27] O Savior, May We Never Rest

  O Savior, may we never rest Till Thou art formed within, Till Thou hast calmed our troubled breast, And crushed the power of sin. O may we gaze upon Thy cross, Until the wondrous sight Makes earthly treasures seem but dross, And earthly sorrows light. Until, released from carnal ties, Our spirit upward springs, And sees true peace above the skies, True joy in heavenly things. There as we gaze, may we become United, Lord, to Thee, And, in a fairer, happier home, Thy perfect beauty see.
