John 8:18

• [Joh 8:18] O Thou Who At Thy Creature’s Bar

  O Thou who at Thy creature’s bar Thy glorious Godhead didst declare, A true and good confession make; Come in Thy Spirit from above And arm me with Thy faithful love, For Thy own truth and mercy’s sake. Called forth by Thee Thou know’st I am, Thy truth and mercy to proclaim, Thy Godhead, and eternal power, The man whom God His fellow owns, Whom angel-powers, dominions, thrones Through all eternity adore. Thee, high enthroned above all height, Thee God of God, and Light of Light, I come undaunted to confess, With God essentially the same, JEHOVAH, JAH, the great I AM, The Lord of Hosts, the Prince of Peace. The sovereign, everlasting Lord, The glorious, unbeginning Word, The Son of God, the Son of Man, God over heaven and earth supreme Made flesh Thy creature to redeem, For me incarnated, and slain. Slain for a sinful world, and me, Our Surety hung upon the tree; Thy body bore our guilty load: My Lamb for sin an offering made, The debt of all mankind hath paid, And bought, and sprinkled us with blood. That blood applied by faith I feel, And come its healing power to tell, Through which I know my sins forgiven A witness I, that all may find The peace deserved for all mankind, And walk with God, my God, to heaven. I come to testify the grace My Lord obtained for all our race, Enough ten thousand worlds to save; Salvation is in Jesu’s Name, Which every soul of man may claim, And all that seek the grace, shall have. Salvation from the power of sin, Salvation from the root within, Salvation into perfect love, (Thy grace to all hath brought it near,) An uttermost salvation here, Salvation up to heaven above. Thy power and saving grace to show, A warfare at Thy charge I go, Strong in the Lord, and Thy great might, Gladly take up the hallowed cross, And suffering all things for Thy cause, Beneath that bloody banner fight. A spectacle to fiends and men, To all their fierce or cool disdain With calmest pity I submit; Determined naught to know beside My Jesus, and Him crucified, I tread the world beneath my feet. Superior to their smile, or frown, On all their goods my soul looks down, Their pleasures, wealth, and pomp, and state: The man that dares their god despise, The Christian, he alone is wise! The Christian, he alone is great! O God, let all my life declare How happy all Thy servants are, How far above these earthly things, How pure when washed in Jesu’s blood, How intimately one with God, An heaven-born race of priests and kings. For this alone I live below, The power of godliness to show, The wonders wrought by Jesu’s Name. O that I may but faithful prove, Witness to all Thy pardoning love, And point them to th’atoning Lamb! Let me to every creature cry, The poor and rich, the low and high, “Believe, and feel thy sins forgiven! Damned, till by Jesus saved, thou art, Till Jesu’s blood hath washed thy heart Thou canst not find the gate of heaven.” Thou, Jesu, Thou my breast inspire, And touch my lips with hallowed fire, And loose a stammering infant’s tongue; Prepare the vessel of Thy grace, Adorn me with the robes of praise, And mercy shall be all my song. Mercy for those that know not God, Mercy for all, in Jesu’s blood, Mercy that earth and heaven transcends; Love, that overwhelms the saints in light, The length, and breadth, and depth, and height Of love Divine, which never ends. A faithful witness of Thy grace, Long may I fill th’allotted space, And answer all Thy great design; Walk in the works by Thee prepared, And find annexed the vast reward, The crown of righteousness Divine. When I have lived to Thee alone Pronounce the welcome word, Well done, And let me take my place above, Enter into my Master’s joy, And all eternity employ In praise, and ecstasy, and love.

John 12:32

• [Joh 12:32] Above The Trembling Elements

  Above the trembling elements, Above life’s restless sea, Dear Savior, lift my spirit up, O lift me up to Thee! Great calmness there, sweet patience, too, Upon Thy face I see; I would be calm and patient, Lord, O lift me up to Thee! I am not weary of Thy work, From earth I would not flee; But while I walk and while I serve, O lift me up to Thee! That I may bless my tender friends, And those who love not me; But while I walk and while I serve, O lift me up to Thee! Whatever falls of good or ill, Thy hand, Thy care I see, And while these varied dealings pass, O lift me up to Thee! And when my eyes close for the last, Still this my prayer shall be: Dear Savior, lift my spirit up, And lift me up to Thee!

• [Joh 12:32] Draw Thou My Soul, O Christ

  Draw Thou my soul, O Christ, closer to Thine; Breathe into every wish Thy will divine; Raised my low self above, won by Thy deathless love, Ever, O Christ, through mine let Thy life shine. Lead forth my soul, O Christ, one with Thine own, Joyful to follow Thee through paths unknown; In Thee my strength renew; give me Thy work to do; Through me Thy truth be shown, Thy love made known. Not for myself alone may my prayer be; Lift Thou Thy world, O Christ, closer to Thee; Cleanse it from guilt and wrong; teach it salvation’s song Till earth, as Heaven, fulfills God’s holy will.

• [Joh 12:32] Drawn To The Cross

  Drawn to the cross, which Thou has blest With healing gifts for souls distressed, To find in Thee my life, my rest, Christ Crucified, I come. Thou knowest all my griefs and fears, Thy grace abused, my misspent years; Yet now to Thee with contrite tears, Christ Crucified, I come. Wash me and take away each stain; Let nothing of my sin remain. For cleansing, tho’ it be thro’ pain, Christ Crucified, I come. And then for work to do for Thee, Which shall so sweet a service be That angels well might envy me, Christ Crucified, I come.

• [Joh 12:32] Lift Him Up (oatman)

  How to reach the masses, men of every birth, For an answer, Jesus gave the key: “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, Will draw all men unto Me.” Refrain Lift Him up, Lift Him up, Still He speaks from eternity: “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, Will draw all men unto Me.” Oh! the world is hungry for the Living Bread, Lift the Savior up for them to see; Trust Him, and do not doubt the words that He said, “I’ll draw all men unto Me.” Refrain Don’t exalt the preacher, don’t exalt the pew, Preach the Gospel simple, full and free; Prove Him and you will find that promise is true, “I’ll draw all men unto Me.” Refrain Lift Him up by living as a Christian ought, Let the world in you the Savior see; Then men will gladly follow Him Who once taught, “I’ll draw all men unto Me.” Refrain

• [Joh 12:32] Lift Him Up (warren)

  Lift Him up, ’tis He that bids you, Let the dying look and live, To all weary, thirsting sinners, Living waters will He give; And though once so meek and lowly, Yet the Prince of Heav’n was He; And the blind, who grope in darkness, Through the blood of Christ shall see. Refrain Lift Him up, the risen Savior, High amid the waiting throng; Lift Him up, ’tis He that speaketh, Now He bids you flee from wrong. Lift Him up, this precious Savior, Let the multitude behold; They with willing hearts shall seek Him, He will draw them to His fold; They shall gather from the wayside, Hastening on with joyous feet, And shall bear the cross of Jesus, And shall find salvation sweet. Refrain Lift Him up in all His glory, ’Tis the Son of God on high; Lift Him up, His love shall draw them, E’en the careless shall draw nigh; Let them hear again the story Of the cross, the death of shame; And from tongue to tongue repeat it; Mighty throngs shall bless His Name. Refrain O then lift Him up in singing, Lift the Savior up in prayer; He, the glorious Redeemer, All the sins of men did bear; Yes, the young shall bow before Him, And the old their voices raise; All the deaf shall hear hosannah; And the dumb shall shout His praise. Refrain

• [Joh 12:32] O My Savior, Lifted

  O my Savior, lifted From the earth for me, Draw me, in Thy mercy, Nearer unto Thee. Lift my earthbound longings, Fix them, Lord, above; Draw me with the magnet Of Thy mighty love. Lord, Thine arms are stretching Ever far and wide, To enfold Thy children To Thy loving side. And I come, O Jesus; Dare I turn away? No! Thy love hath conquered, And I come today. Bringing all my burdens, Sorrow, sin, and care, At Thy feet I lay them And I leave them there.
