[Isa 63:1] Boundless Salvation
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 men, now flowing for all men,
Now flowing for all men, 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!My tempers are fitful, my passions are strong,
They bind my poor soul and they force me to wrong;
Beneath thy blest billows deliverance I see,
O come, mighty ocean, O come, mighty ocean,
O come, mighty ocean, and roll over me!Now tossed with temptation, then haunted with fears,
My life has been joyless and useless for years;
I feel something better most surely would be
If once thy pure waters, if once thy pure waters,
If once thy pure waters would 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.The tide is now flowing, I’m touching the wave,
I hear the loud call of the Mighty to Save;
My faith’s growing bolder, delivered I’ll be;
I plunge ’neath the waters, I plunge ’neath the waters,
I plunge ’neath the waters they roll 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.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Isa 63:1] Help Us, O Jesus, Thou Mighty Defender
Help us, O Jesus, Thou mighty Defender,
Help when the forces of evil appear;
Help us to battle and never surrender,
Help us to conquer, and drive away fear;
Satan is cunning, the prince of deceivers,
Bringing disaster to many believers.Help us, O Jesus, in hours of temptation,
When both our faith and our courage are weak;
Teach us to look to the sign of salvation,
And near Thy cross a new armor to seek;
Then we shall conquer, if Thou wilt befriend us,
Thou wilt prevail and our faith will defend us.Help us, O Jesus, when death shall spread terror,
And our poor eyes are too feeble to see;
Cleanse us and purge us from sin and from error;
That we may blindly in faith cling to Thee;
Help us, O Jesus, we conquer in dying,
Unto the last on Thy mercy relying.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

O who is this that cometh
From Edom’s crimson plain,
With wounded side, with garments dyed?

A ransom gave;
I, that speak in righteousness,
Mighty to save.”Refrain

’Neath darkening skies;
Of the people there was none
Mighty to save.”Refrain
O, bleeding Lamb, my Savior,
How couldst Thou bear this shame?

Salvation in My Name:

Conquered the grave;
Now the year of joy has come,
Mighty to save.”Refrain

[Isa 63:1] See Him In Raiment Rent
See Him in raiment rent,
With His blood dyed:
Women walk sorrowing,
By His side.Heavy that cross to Him,
Weary the weight:
One who will help Him stands
At the gate.Multitudes hurrying
Pass on the road:
Simon is sharing with
Him the load.Who is this traveling
With the curst tree—
This weary prisoner—
Who is He?Follow to Calvary,
Tread where He rod:
This is the Lord of life—
Son of God.Is there no loveliness—
You who pass by—
In that lone Figure which
Marks the sky?You Who would love Him, stand,
Gaze at His face;
Tarry awhile in your
Worldly race.As the swift moments fly
Through the blest week,
Jesus, in penitence,
Let us seek.On the cross lifted up,
Thy face I scan,
Scarred by that agony—
Son of Man.Thorns form Thy diadem,
Rough wood Thy throne,
To Thee Thy outstretched arms
Draw Thine own.Nails hold Thy hands and feet,
While on Thy breast
Sinketh Thy bleeding head
Sore oppressed.Loud is Thy bitter cry,
Rending the night,
As to Thy darkened eyes
Fails the light.Shadows of midnight fall,
Though it is day;
Friends and disciples stand
Far away.Loud scoffs the dying thief,
Mocking Thy woe;
Can this my Savior be
Brought so low?Yes, see the title clear,
Written above,
“Jesus of Nazareth,”
Name of love!What, O my Savior dear,
What didst Thou see,
That made Thee suffer and
Die for me?Child of My grief and pain!
From realms above,
I came to lead thee to
Life and love.For thee My blood I shed,
For thee I died;
Safe in thy faithfulness
Now abide.I saw thee wandering,
Weak and at strife;
I am the Way for thee,
Truth and life.Follow My path of pain,
Tread where I trod:
This is the way of peace
Up to God.O I will follow Thee,
Star of my soul!
Through the great dark I press
To the goal.Yes, let me know Thy grief,
Carry Thy cross,
Share in Thy sacrifice,
Gain Thy loss.Daily I’ll prove my love,
Through joy and woe;
Where Thy hands point the way,
There I go.Lead me on year by year,
Safe to the end,
Jesus, my Lord, my Life,
King and Friend.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Who is this that cometh from Edom,
Crimson red His garments dyed?

Left to comfort there are none?

Yet no murmur ever heard;
As a Lamb led to the slaughter,
Yet He answers not a word!Refrain
Who is this with bearing so kingly,
And a crown His brow adorns,
Not of gold and gems befitting,
But of mocking, cruel thorns?
Why with many stripes thus beaten?
Why thus scourged and spit upon?
Why His anguish in the garden,
Kneeling, praying all alone?Refrain
Who is this on Calvary’s mountain,
Dying there such shameful death?
Who for His tormentors praying,
With His last expiring breath?
Who is this that earth should tremble
And the sun in darkness hide,
Rocks be rent and graves be opened,
When He bowed His head and died?Refrain

Traveling onward in His might;

Glorious fruit of all His pains.Mighty Victor, reign forever,

Who is this with garments gory,
Triumphing from Bozrah’s way;

Bright with more than victory’s ray?

From his journey’s sultry length,

And arrayed like those who carol
O’er the reeking vineyard’s mirth?

I, the mighty One to save.”“I, that of the raging heathen
Trod the winepress all alone,
Now in victor garlands wreathen
Coming to redeem Mine own:

Glorious for My vengeance hour,
Ransoming, with priceless payment,
And delivering with power.”Hail! All hail! Thou Lord of Glory!

And now the day appears;
The day of My redeemed is come
To wipe away their tears.“Quite weary is My patience grown,
And bids My fury go;
Swift as the lightning it shall move,
And be as fatal too.“I call for helpers, but in vain;
Then has My Gospel none?
Well, Mine own arm has might enough
To crush My foes alone.“Slaughter and My devouring sword
Shall walk the streets around,
Babel shall reel beneath My stroke,
And stagger to the ground.”Thy honors, O victorious King!
Thine own right hand shall raise,
While we Thy awful vengeance sing,
And our Deliv’rer praise.source: Cyberhymnal -

Benighted in this land of light.In peopled vale, in lonely glen,
In crowded mart by stream or sea,
How many of the sons of man
Hear not the message sent from Thee!Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call
The thoughtless young, the hardened old,
A wandering flock, and bring them all
To the good Shepherd’s peaceful fold.Send them Thy mighty Word to speak,
Till faith shall dawn and doubt depart,
To awe the bold, to stay the weak,
And bind and heal the broken heart.Then all these wastes, a dreary scene,
On which with sorrowing eyes we gaze,
Shall grow with living waters green,

From everlasting pains.In vain the baffled prince of hell

We that were doomed his endless slaves
Are raised above the skies.O for this love let rocks and hills

And all harmonious human tongues

Creating us that we Thy love might know,

Hast loved us with an everlasting love.Thou madest man immortal at the first,
An image of Thine own eternity;
And when he fell from life, through sin accursed,
And lost his right to the life giving tree,

His life ennobled and forevermore.Such was Thy love, Thou didst not even spare
Thy Best-beloved, but gav’st Him for us all;

And dying, by His death retrieve our fall.

Thou still rememb’rest that we are but dust:
Like as a father pitieth, Thou art kind,
Thy justice kindness, and Thy kindness just.
