• [Yes 1:15] Savior, Sprinkle Many Nations

  Savior, sprinkle many nations; Fruitful let Thy sorrows be; By Thy pains and consolations Draw the Gentiles unto Thee! Of Thy cross the wondrous story, Be it to the nations told; Let them see Thee in Thy glory And Thy mercy manifold. Far and wide, though all unknowing, Pants for Thee each mortal breast, Human tears for Thee are flowing, Human hearts in Thee would rest. Thirsting as for dews of even, As the new mown grass for rain Thee they seek as God of heaven, Thee as Man for sinners slain. Savior, lo! the isles are waiting Stretched the hand and strained the sight, For Thy Spirit, new creating, Love’s pure flame, and wisdom’s light. Give the word, and of the preacher Speed the foot and touch the tongue, Till on earth by every creature Glory to the Lamb be sung!

  Our thought of thee is glad with hope, Dear country of our love and prayer; Thy way is down no fatal slope, But up to freer sun and air.

With peace that comes of purity, And strength to simple justice due, So runs our loyal dream of thee. God of our fathers! make it true.

  Behold! the mountain of the Lord In latter days shall rise On mountain tops above the hills, And draw the wondering eyes. To this the joyful nations round, All tribes and tongues, shall flow; Up to the hill of God, they’ll say, And to His house we’ll go. The beam that shines from Zion hill Shall lighten every land; The King Who reigns in Salem’s towers Shall all the world command. Among the nations He shall judge; His judgments truth shall guide; His scepter shall protect the just, And quell the sinner’s pride. No strife shall vex Messiah’s reign Or mar the peaceful years; To plowshares soon they beat their swords To pruning hooks their spears. No longer hosts encountering hosts, Their millions slain deplore; They hang the trumpets in the hall And study war no more. Come then, O house of Jacob, come To worship at His shrine; And, walking in the light of God, With holy beauties shine. In latter days, the Mount of God, His sacred house shall rise Above the mountains and the hills, And strike the wondering eyes. To this the joyful nations round, All Tribes and Tongues shall flow; Up to the house of God they’ll say, To Jacob’s God, we’ll go. To us He’ll point the ways of truth: The sacred Path we’ll tread From Salem and from Zion-Hill His law shall then proceed. Among the nations and the isles, As Judge supreme, He’ll sit: And, vested with unbounded power Will punish or seguit. No strife shall rage, nor angry feuds, Disturb these peaceful years; To plowshares then they’ll beat their swords, To pruning hooks their spears. Then nation shan’t ’gainst nation rise, And slaughtered house deplore: They’ll lay the useless trumpet by, And study war no more. O come ye, then, of Jacob’s house, Our hearts now let us join: And, walking in the light of God, With holy beauties shine. O’er mountain tops, the mount of God In latter days, shall rise Above the summits of the hills, And draw the wondering eyes. To this the joyful nations round, All tribes and tongues shall flow; Up to the mount of God, they say, And to His house we’ll go. The beams that shine from Zion’s hill Shall lighten ev’ry land; The King, who reigns in Salem’s towers Shall the whole world command. Among the nations He shall judge, His judgments truth shall guide; His scepter shall protect the just, And crush the sinner’s pride. No war shall rage, nor hostile strife Disturb those happy years; To plough shares men shall beat their swords, To pruning hooks their spears. No longer hosts, encountering hosts, Shall crowds of slain deplore; They’ll lay the martial trumpet by, And study war no more.

Be this my one great business here, With serious industry and fear Eternal bliss to ensure; Thine utmost counsel to fulfill, And suffer all Thy righteous will, And to the end endure.

The present be our judgment day, When all our lack Thou dost survey: Show us ourselves and save us. Lo, fearing naught we come to Thee, Though by our fault confounded; Though selfish, mean, and base we be, Thy justice is unbounded: So large, it naught but love requires, And judging, pardons, frees, inspires.

  And is the time approaching, By prophets long foretold, When all shall dwell together, One Shepherd and one fold? Shall every idol perish, To moles and bats be thrown, And every prayer be offered To God in Christ alone? Shall Jew and Gentile, meeting From many a distant shore, Around one altar kneeling, One common Lord adore? Shall all that now divides us Remove, and pass away Like shadows of the morning Before the blaze of day? Shall all that now unites us More sweet and lasting prove, A closer bond of union In a blest land of love? Shall war be learned no longer, Shall strife and tumult cease; All earth His blessèd kingdom, The Lord and Prince of Peace? O long expected dawning, Come with Thy cheering ray; When shall the morning brighten, The shadows flee away? O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on To pray, and hope, and labor, Till the dark night be gone.

• [Yes 5:1] We Have Heard

  We have heard from the bright, the holy land; We have heard, and our hearts are glad; For we were a lonely pilgrim band, And weary, and worn, and sad. They tell us the saints have a dwelling there— No longer are homeless ones; And we know that the goodly land is fair, Where life’s pure river runs. They say green fields are waving there, That never a blight shall know; And the deserts wild are blooming fair, And the roses of Sharon grow. There are lovely birds in the bowers green, Their songs are blithe and sweet; And their warblings, gushing ever new, The angels’ harpings greet. We have heard of the palms, the robes, the crowns, And the silvery band in white. Of the city fair, with pearly gates, All radiant with light. We have heard of the angels there, and saints, With their harps of gold, how they sing; Of the mount with the fruitful tree of life, Of the leaves that healing bring. The King of that country, He is fair, He’s the joy and light of the place; In His beauty we shall behold Him there, And bask in His smiling face. We’ll be there, we’ll be there in a little while, We’ll join the pure and the blest; We’ll have the palm, the robe, the crown, And forever be at rest.

  Isaiah, mighty seer, in days of old The Lord of all in spirit did behold High on a lofty throne, in splendor bright, With flowing train that filled the temple quite. Above the throne were stately seraphim; Six wings had they, these messengers of Him. With twain they veiled their faces, as was meet, With twain in reverent awe they hid their feet, And with the other twain aloft they soared, One to the other called and praised the Lord: “Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth! Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth! Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth! Behold, His glory filleth all the earth!” The beams and lintels trembled at the cry, And clouds of smoke enwrapped the throne on high.

Now must come His righteous sentence: Wait! A Bright Form parts the smoke! Bleeding feet stride through the temple! Christ approaches, weeping love! Wounded hands remove my filthiness, God’s caress in every move. Freely righteous! Full atonement! Justified, from sin set free! By the Word of God the Father, I’m declared as pure as HE!

The noisy winds stand ready there Thy orders to obey; With sounding wings they sweep the air, To make Thy chariot way.

Lo! here Thy wondrous skill arrays The earth in cheerful green; A thousand herbs Thy art displays, A thousand flowers between. There, the rough mountains of the deep Obey Thy strong command, Thy breath can raise the billows steep, Or sink them to the sand. Thy glories blaze all nature round, And strike the wondering sight Through skies, and seas, and solid ground, With terror and delight.

These living hearts of ours Thy holy Name would bless; The blossoms of the thousand flowers Would please the Savior less. While earth itself decays, Our souls can never die; O tune them all to sing Thy praise In better songs on high.

• [Yes 6:3] Harp At Nature’s Advent Strung, The

  The harp at Nature’s advent strung Has never ceased to play; The song the stars of morning sung Has never died away. And prayer is made, and praise is giv’n, By all things near and far; The ocean looketh up to Heav’n, And mirrors every star. Its waves are kneeling on the strand, As kneels the human knee, Their white locks bowing to the sand, The priesthood of the sea! They pour their glittering treasures forth, Their gifts of pearl they bring, And all the listening hills of earth Take up the song they sing. The green earth sends its incense up From many a mountain shrine; From folded leaf and dewy cup She pours her sacred wine. The mists above the morning rills Rise white as wings of prayer; The altar-curtains of the hills Are sunset’s purple air. The winds with hymns of praise are loud, Or low with sobs of pain— The thunder-organ of the cloud, The dropping tears of rain. With drooping head and branches crossed The twilight forest grieves, Or speaks with tongues of Pentecost From all its sunlit leaves. The blue sky is the temple’s arch, Its transept earth and air, The music of its starry march The chorus of a prayer. So Nature keeps the reverent frame With which her years began, And all her signs and voices shame The prayerless heart of man.

If you cannot rouse the wicked, With the judgment’s dread alarms, You can lead the little children To the Savior’s waiting arms. If you cannot be the watchman, Standing high on Zion’s wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Offering life and peace to all, With your prayers and with your bounties You can do what heaven demands; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet’s hands. If among the older people, You may not be apt to teach, “Feed My lambs,” said Christ, our Shepherd, “Place the food within their reach.” And it may be that the children You have led with trembling hand, Will be found among your jewels, When you reach the better land. Let none hear you idly saying, “There is nothing I can do.” While the lost of earth are dying, And the Master calls for you; Take the task He gives you gladly; Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calls you, “Here am I, send me, send me.”

Jesus, Son of human mother, Bless our motherhood, we pray; Give us grace to lead our children, Draw them to Thee day by day; May our sons and daughters be Dedicated, Lord, to Thee. Thou Who didst with Joseph labor, Nor didst humble work disdain, Grant we may Thy footsteps follow Patiently through toil and pain; May our quiet home life be Lived, O Lord, in Thee, to Thee. Thou Who didst go forth in sorrow, Toiling for the souls of men, Thou Who shalt draw all men to Thee, Though despised, rejected then; Humble though our influence be, Use it in the world for Thee.

Refrain Then let us adore Him, and praise His great love: To save us poor sinners He came from above. A Babe on the breast of a maiden He lies, Yet sits with the Father on high in the skies; Before Him their faces the seraphim hide, While Joseph stands waiting, unscared, by His side. Refrain Lo! here is Emmanuel, here is the Child, The Son that was promised to Mary so mild; Whose power and dominion shall ever increase, The Prince that shall rule o’er a kingdom of peace. Refrain The Wonderful Counselor, boundless in might, The Father’s own image, the beam of His light; Behold Him now wearing the likeness of man, Weak, helpless, and speechless, in measure a span. Refrain O wonder of wonders, which none can unfold: The Ancient of Days is an hour or two old; The Maker of all things is made of the earth, Man is worshipped by angels, and God comes to birth: Refrain The word in the bliss of the Godhead remains, Yet in flesh comes to suffer the keenest of pains; He is that He was, and forever shall be, But becomes that He was not, for you and for me.

At Bethlehem, in David’s town, As Micah did of old make known; ’Tis Jesus Christ, your Lord and King, Who doth to all salvation bring. Oh, then rejoice that through His Son God is with sinners now at one; Made like yourselves of flesh and blood, Your Brother is the eternal God. What harm can sin and death then do? The true God now abides with you. Let hell and Satan rage and chafe, Christ is your Brother—ye are safe. Not one He will or can forsake Who Him his confidence doth make. Let all his wiles the Tempter try, You may his utmost powers defy. Ye shall and must at last prevail; God’s own ye are, ye cannot fail. To God forever sing your praise With joy and patience all your days.

  Veiled in darkness Judah lay, Waiting for the promised day, While across the shadowy night Streamed a flood of glorious light, Heav’nly voices chanting then, “Peace on earth, good will to men.” Still the earth in darkness lies. Up from death’s dark vale arise Voices of a world in grief, Prayers of men who seek relief: Now our darkness pierce again, “Peace on earth, good will to men.” Light of light, we humbly pray, Shine upon Thy world today; Break the gloom of our dark night, Fill our souls with love and light, Send Thy blessèd Word again, “Peace on earth, good will to men.”

• [Yes 9:6] It Is A Thing Most Wonderful

  It is a thing most wonderful, Almost too wonderful to be, That God’s own Son should come from Heav’n, And die to save a child like me. And yet I know that it is true; He chose a poor and humble lot, And wept, and toiled, and mourned, and died, For love of those who loved Him not. I cannot tell how He could love A child so weak and full of sin; His love must be most wonderful, If He could die my love to win. I sometimes think about the cross, And shut my eyes, and try to see The cruel nails and crown of thorns, And Jesus crucified for me. But even could I see Him die, I could but see a little part Of that great love, which, like a fire, Is always burning in His heart. It is most wonderful to know His love for me so free and sure; But ’tis more wonderful to see My love for Him so faint and poor. And yet I want to love Thee, Lord; Oh, light the flame within my heart, And I will love Thee more and more, Until I see Thee as Thou art.

Refrain I’m bound for that beautiful city, My Lord has prepared for His own; Where all the redeemed of all ages Sing “Glory!” around the white throne; Sometimes I grow homesick for Heaven, And the glories I there shall behold; What a joy that will be when my Savior I see, In that beautiful city of gold. We’ll never pay rent for our mansion, The taxes will never come due, Our garments will never grow threadbare, But always be fadeless and new, We’ll never be hungry or thirsty, Nor languish in poverty there, For all the rich bounties of Heaven His sanctified children will share. Refrain There’ll never be crepe on the doorknob, No funeral train in the sky; No graves on the hillsides of glory, For there we shall nevermore die. The old will be young there forever, Transformed in a moment of time; Immortal we’ll stand in His likeness, The stars and the sun to outshine. Refrain

Then weep no more, but speed thy flight, With Hope’s bright star thy guiding ray, Till thou shalt reach the realms of light, In everlasting day.” I asked the warrior on the field; This was his soul inspiring song: “With courage bold, the sword I’ll wield, The battle is not long. Then weep no more, but well endure The conflict, till thy work is done; For this we know, the prize is sure, When victory is won.” I asked again; earth, sea and sun Seemed, with one voice, to make reply: “Time’s wasting sands are nearly run, Eternity is nigh. Then weep no more—with warning tones, Portentous sights are thickening round, The whole creation, waiting, groans, To hear the trumpet sound.” Not far from home! O blessèd thought! The traveler’s lonely heart to cheer; Which oft a healing balm has brought, And dried the mourner’s tear. Then weep no more, since we shall meet Where weary footsteps never roam— Our trials past, our joys complete, Safe in our Father’s home.

• [Yes 30:29] Song Of Heaven And Homeland, A

  Sometimes I hear strange music, Like none e’er heard before, Come floating softly earthward As thro’ Heav’n’s open door: It seems like angel voices, In strains of joy and love, That swell the mighty chorus Around the throne above. Refrain O sweet, celestial music, Heard from a land afar— The song of Heav’n and Homeland, Thro’ doors God leaves ajar! Now soft, and low, and restful, It floods my soul with peace, As if God’s benediction Bade all earth’s troubles cease. Then, grander than the voices Of wind, and wave, and sea— It fills the dome of Heaven With glorious harmony. Refrain This music haunts me ever, Like something heard in dreams— It seems to catch the cadence Of heav’nly winds and streams. My heart is filled with rapture, To think, some day to come, I’ll sing it with the angels— The song of Heav’n and home. Refrain

  Eternal Father, Thou hast said That Christ all glory shall obtain; That He Who once a suff’rer bled Shall o’er the world a conqu’ror reign. We wait Thy triumph, Savior King, Long ages have prepared Thy way; Now all abroad Thy banner fling, Set time’s great battle in array. Thy hosts are mustered to the field; “The Cross! the Cross!” the battle call; The old grim towers of darkness yield, And soon shall totter to their fall. On mountain tops the watch fires glow, Where scattered wide the watchmen stand; Voice echoes voice, and onward flow The joyous shouts from land to land. Oh, fill the Church with faith and power! Bid her long nights of weeping cease; To groaning nations haste the hour Of life and freedom, light and peace. Come, Spirit, make Thy wonders known, Fulfill the Father’s high decree; Then earth, the might of hell o’er thrown, Shall keep her last great jubilee.

There is a cross where the Savior died; His blood flowed out in a crimson tide, A sacrifice for sins of men, And free to all who will enter in. Then why will ye die? O why will ye die?

  Gracious Savior, gentle Shepherd, Our little ones are dear to Thee; Gathered with Thine arms and carried In Thy bosom may they be Sweetly, gently, safely tended, From all want and danger free. Tender Shepherd, never leave them From Thy fold to go astray; By Thy look of love directed, May they walk the narrow way; Thus direct them, and protect them, Lest they fall an easy prey. Let Thy holy Word instruct them: Fill their minds with heav’nly light; Let Thy love and grace constrain them, To approve whate’er is right, Take Thine easy yoke and wear it, And to prove Thy burden light. Cleanse their hearts from sinful folly In the stream Thy love supplied; Mingled streams of blood and water Flowing from Thy wounded side; And to heav’nly pastures lead them, Where Thine own still waters glide.

  Happy soul, that, free from harms, Rests within his Shepherd’s arms! Who his quiet shall molest? Who shall violate his rest? Jesus doth his spirit bear; Jesus takes his every care; He Who found the wandering sheep, Jesus, still delights to keep. O that I might so believe, Steadfastly to Jesus cleave; On His only love rely, Smile at the destroyer nigh; Free from sin and servile fear, Have my Jesus ever near; All His care rejoice to prove, All His paradise of love! Jesus, seek Thy wandering sheep; Bring me back, and lead, and keep; Take on Thee my every care; Bear me, on Thy bosom bear; Let me know my Shepherd’s voice; More and more in Thee rejoice; More and more of Thee receive; Ever in Thy spirit live. Live, till all Thy life I know, Perfect, through my Lord, below; Gladly then from earth remove, Gathered to the fold above; O that I at last may stand, With the sheep at Thy right hand; Take the crown so freely given, Enter in by Thee to Heaven!

  Come, my soul, thou must be waking; Now is breaking over the earth another day; Come to Him Who made this splendor; See thou render all thy feeble powers can pay. Thou, too, hail the light returning Ready burning be the incense of thy powers; For the night is safely ended, God hath tended with His care thy helpless hours. Pray that He may prosper ever Each endeavor when thine aim is good and true; But that He may ever thwart thee, And convert thee, when thou evil wouldst pursue. Think that He thy ways beholdeth; He unfoldeth every fault that lurks within; He the hidden shame glossed over Can discover, and discern each deed of sin. Mayest thou on life’s last morrow, Free from sorrow, pass away in slumber sweet: And, released from death’s dark sadness, Rise in gladness that far brighter Sun to greet. Only God’s free gifts abuse not, Light refuse not, but His Spirit’s voice obey; Thou with Him shalt dwell, beholding Light enfolding all things in unclouded day.

  Oh! I love the Gospel song, How it sweetly rolls along, Let the earth the strains prolong, Sing aloud with gladness: Blessèd news to sinners bringing, While the angel choirs are singing, And the bells of Heav’n are ringing, Sing aloud with gladness. Down the centuries it came, Glory, glory to His Name, Free salvation to proclaim, Sing aloud with gladness: And this melody so hoary, Is humanity’s rich glory, And eternity’s sweet story, Sing aloud with gladness. Haste, all lands, for Christ make room, Earth shall yield her sin and gloom, All her desert places bloom, Sing aloud with gladness: And this wonderful salvation Shall be sung by ev’ry nation, While He rules the vast creation, Sing aloud with gladness.

Say to the heathen from Thy throne, “I am Jehovah, God alone”; Thy voice their idols shall confound, And cast their altars to the ground.

By death and hell pursued in vain, To Thee the ransomed seed shall come, Shouting their heavenly Zion gain, And pass through death triumphant home. The pain of life shall there be o’er, The anguish and distracting care, There sighing grief shall weep no more, And sin shall never enter there.

  In the crimson of the morning, In the whiteness of the noon, In the amber glory of the day’s retreat; In the midnight robed in darkness, Or the gleaming of the moon, I listen for the coming of His feet. I have heard His weary footsteps By the Galilean sea, On the Temple’s marble pavement, on the street; Worn with weight of sorrow, falt’ring Up the slopes of Calvary, The sorrow of the coming of His feet. Down the minster aisles of splendor, From between the cherubim, Thro’ the wond’ring throngs with motion strong and fleet, Sounds His victor tread, with music, Of redemption’s choral hymn, The music of the coming of His feet. Comes He sandaled not with silver, Gilded not with woven gold, Weighted not with shimm’ring gems and odors sweet; But white-winged and shod with glory, In the Tabor-light of old, The glory of the coming of His feet. He is coming, O my spirit, With His everlasting peace, With His blessedness immortal and complete; He is coming, O my spirit, And His coming brings release, I listen for the coming of His feet.

Fair as a beauteous tender flower Amidst the desert grows, So slighted by a rebel race The heav’nly Savior rose. Rejected and despised of men, Behold a Man of woe! Grief was His close companion still Through all His life below. Yet all the griefs He felt were ours, Ours were the woes He bore: Pangs, not His own, His spotless soul With bitter anguish tore. We held Him as condemned by Heav’n, An outcast from His God, While for our sins He groaned, He bled, Beneath His Father’s rod. His sacred blood hath washed our souls From sin’s polluted stain; His stripes have healed us, and His death Revived our souls again. We all, like sheep, had gone astray In ruin’s fatal road: On Him were our transgressions laid; He bore the mighty load. Wronged and oppressed how meekly He In patient silence stood! Mute, as the peaceful harmless lamb, When brought to shed its blood. Who can His generation tell? From prison see Him led! With impious show of law condemned, And numbered with the dead. ’Midst sinners low in dust He lay; The rich a grave supplied: Unspotted was His blameless life; Unstained by sin He died. Yet God shall raise His head on high, Though thus He brought Him low; His sacred offering, when complete, Shall terminate His woe. For, saith the Lord, My pleasure then Shall prosper in His hand; His shall a numerous offspring be, And still His honors stand. His soul, rejoicing, shall behold The purchase of His pain; And all the guilty whom He saved Shall bless Messiah’s reign. He with the great shall share the spoil, And baffle all His foes; Though ranked with sinners, here He fell, A Conqueror He rose. He died to bear the guilt of men, That sin might be forgiv’n: He lives to bless them and defend, And plead their cause in Heav’n.

  O dearest Jesus, what law hast Thou broken That such sharp sentence should on Thee be spoken? Of what great crime hast Thou to make confession— What dark transgression? They crown Thy head with thorns, they smite, they scourge Thee; With cruel mockings to the cross they urge Thee; They give Thee gall to drink, they still decry Thee; They crucify Thee. Whence come these sorrows, whence this mortal anguish? It is my sins for which Thou, Lord, must languish; Yea, all the wrath, the woe, Thou dost inherit, This I do merit. What punishment so strange is suffered yonder! The Shepherd dies for sheep that loved to wander; The Master pays the debt His servants owe Him, Who would not know Him. The sinless Son of God must die in sadness; The sinful child of man may live in gladness; Man forfeited his life and is acquitted— God is committed. There was no spot in me by sin untainted; Sick with sin’s poison, all my heart had fainted; My heavy guilt to hell had well-nigh brought me, Such woe it wrought me. O wondrous love, whose depth no heart hath sounded, That brought Thee here, by foes and thieves surrounded! All worldly pleasures, heedless, I was trying While Thou wert dying. O mighty King, no time can dim Thy glory! How shall I spread abroad Thy wondrous story? How shall I find some worthy gifts to proffer? What dare I offer? For vainly doth our human wisdom ponder— Thy woes, Thy mercy, still transcend our wonder. Oh, how should I do aught that could delight Thee! Can I requite Thee? Yet unrequited, Lord, I would not leave Thee; I will renounce whate’er doth vex or grieve Thee And quench with thoughts of Thee and prayers most lowly All fires unholy. But since my strength will nevermore suffice me To crucify desires that still entice me, To all good deeds, oh, let Thy Spirit win me And reign within me! I’ll think upon Thy mercy without ceasing, That earth’s vain joys to me no more be pleasing; To do Thy will shall be my sole endeavor Henceforth forever. Whate’er of earthly good this life may grant me, I’ll risk for Thee; no shame, no cross, shall daunt me; I shall not fear what man can do to harm me Nor death alarm me. But worthless is my sacrifice, I own it; Yet, Lord, for love’s sake Thou wilt not disown it; Thou wilt accept my gift in Thy great meekness Nor shame my weakness. And when, dear Lord, before Thy throne in Heaven To me the crown of joy at last is given, Where sweetest hymns Thy saints forever raise Thee, I, too, shall praise Thee.

• [Yes 53:4] When The Burden Bearer Came

  On a desert wild and lonely, Where no hope I dared to claim, I was troubled, sad and lonely, When the Burden Bearer came. Refrain Christ the Burden Bearer came, Hallelujah to His Name! All my sins He rolled away, Now rejoicing every day, I am trusting in the Savior’s precious love. On a desert wild and lonely, How He gently said to me, “I have purchased thy salvation, I have borne the cross for thee.” Refrain Praise to Him whose grace redeemed me, From the death that never dies; I shall tell the blessèd story, When I meet Him in the skies.

• [Yes 53:5] Great Healer, The

  Oh, when shall sickness and disease Their persecuting warfare cease; And weakness die, and grief and pain, And death itself at last be slain? Doubt not that better day is near, The suffering sons of earth to hear; Disease and pain are born of sin. Their remedy is found within. Let Christ, descending from above, Become incarnate in Thy love. The inward ills and wrong subdue, And make Thy fallen nature new. Let the great Healer make Thee free From sin’s corroding malady; And then the life that’s in the soul Shall make the suffering body whole.

• [Yes 53:5] He Was Nailed To The Cross For Me

  What a wonderful, wonderful Savior, Who would die on the cross for me! Freely shedding His precious lifeblood, That the sinner might be made free. Refrain He was nailed to the cross for me, He was nailed to the cross for me; On the cross crucified for me He died; He was nailed to the cross for me. Thus He left His heavenly glory, To accomplish His Father’s plan; He was born of the virgin Mary, Took upon Him the form of man. Refrain He was wounded for our transgressions, And He carried our sorrows, too; He’s the Healer of ev’ry sickness, This He came to the world to do. Refrain So He gave His life for others In Redeeming this world from sin, And He’s gone to prepare a mansion, That at last we may enter in. Refrain

• [Yes 53:5] Heal Us, Emmanuel

  Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer [originally, Heal us, Emmanuel, here we are] We wait to feel Thy touch; Deep wounded souls to Thee repair, And Savior, we are such. Our faith is feeble, we confess We faintly trust Thy Word; But wilt Thou pity us the less? Be that far from Thee, Lord! Remember him who once applied With trembling for relief “Lord, I believe,” with tears he cried; “O help my unbelief!” She, too, who touched Thee in the press And healing virtue stole, Was answered, “Daughter, go in peace; Thy faith has made thee whole.” Concealed amid the gathering throng, She would have shunned Thy view; And if her faith was firm and strong, Had strong misgivings too. Like her, with hopes and fears we come To touch Thee if we may; O send us not despairing home; Send none unhealed away.

• [Yes 53:5] How Beauteous Were The Marks Divine

  How beauteous were the marks divine, That in Thy meekness used to shine; That lit Thy lonely pathway, trod In wondrous love, O Lamb of God! Oh! who like Thee, so calm, so bright; So pure, so made to live in light? Oh, who like Thee did ever go So patient through a world of woe? Oh, who like Thee so humbly bore The scorn, the scoffs of men, before? So meek, forgiving, godlike, high, So glorious in humility? And all Thy life’s unchanging years, A man of sorrows and of tears, The cross, where all our sins were laid, Upon Thy bending shoulders weighed. E’en death, which sets the prisoner free, Was pain, and scoff, and scorn to Thee; Yet love through all Thy torture glowed, And mercy with Thy lifeblood flowed. Oh, in Thy light be mine to go, Illumining all my way of woe! And give me ever on the road To trace Thy footsteps, Son of God!

• [Yes 53:5] I Lay My Sins On Jesus

  I lay my sins on Jesus, the spotless Lamb of God; He bears them all, and frees us from the accursèd load; I bring my guilt to Jesus, to wash my crimson stains White in His blood most precious, till not a stain remains. I lay my wants on Jesus; all fullness dwells in Him; He heals all my diseases, He doth my soul redeem: I lay my griefs on Jesus, my burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. I rest my soul on Jesus, this weary soul of mine; His right hand me embraces, I on His breast recline. I love the Name of Jesus, Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; Like fragrance on the breezes His Name abroad is poured.

  Jesus, I will ponder now On Your holy Passion; Let Your Spirit now endow Me for meditation. Grant that I in love and faith May the image cherish Of Your suffering, pain and death That I may not perish. Make me see Your great distress, Anguish, and affliction, Bonds and stripes and wretchedness And your crucifixion; Make me see how scourge and rod, Spear and nails, did wound You, How You died for those, O God, Who with thorns had crowned You. Let, O Lord, not thus alone Make me see your Passion, But its cause to me make known And its termination. For I also and my sin Wrought your deep affliction; This the shameful cause has been Of Your crucifixion. Let me view Your pain and loss With repentant grieving, Nor prepare again your cross By unholy living. May I give you love for love! Hear me, O my Savior, That I may in Heav’n above Sing your praise forever.

What can its meaning be? “My God! my God! oh! why hast Thou In wrath forsaken Me?” Oh ’twas because our sins On Him by God were laid; He who Himself had never sinned For sinners, sin was made.

• [Yes 53:5] My Sins Laid Open To The Rod

  My sins laid open to the rod, The back which from the law was free; And the eternal Son of God Received the stripes once due to me. No beam was in His eye, nor mote, Nor laid to Him was any blame; And yet His cheeks for me were smote— The cheeks that never blushed for shame. I pierced those sacred hands and feet That never touched or walked in sin; I broke the heart that only beat The souls of sinful men to win. That sponge of vinegar and gall Was placed by me upon His tongue; And when derision mocked His call, I stood that mocking crowd among. And yet His blood was shed for me, To be of sin the double cure; And balm there flows from Calvary’s tree That heals my guilt and makes me pure.

  Now, my soul, thy voice upraising, Tell in sweet and mournful strain How the Crucified, enduring Grief, and wounds, and dying pain, Freely of His love was offered, Sinless was for sinners slain. Scourged with unrelenting fury For the sins which we deplore, By His livid stripes He heals us, Raising us to fall no more; All our bruises gently soothing, Binding up the bleeding sore. See! His hands and feet are fastened So He makes His people free; Not a wound whence blood is flowing But a fount of grace shall be; Yea the very nails which nail Him Nail us also to the tree. Through His heart the spear is piercing, Though His foes have seen Him die; Blood and water thence are streaming In a tide of mystery, Water from our guilt to cleanse us, Blood to win us crowns on high. Jesu, may those precious fountains Drink to thirsting souls afford: Let them be our cup and healing, And at length our full reward; So a ransomed world shall ever Praise Thee, its redeeming Lord.

Death and the curse were in our cup: O Christ, ’twas full for Thee; But Thou hast drained the last dark drop, ’Tis empty now for me. That bitter cup, love drank it up; Now blessing’s draught for me. Jehovah lifted up His rod; O Christ, it fell on Thee! Thou wast sore stricken of Thy God; There’s not one stroke for me. Thy tears, Thy blood, beneath it flowed; Thy bruising healeth me. The tempest’s awful voice was heard, O Christ, it broke on Thee! Thy open bosom was my ward, It braved the storm for me. Thy form was scarred, Thy visage marred; Now cloudless peace for me. Jehovah bade His sword awake; O Christ, it woke ’gainst Thee! Thy blood the flaming blade must slake; Thine heart its sheath must be; All for my sake, my peace to make; Now sleeps that sword for me. For me, Lord Jesus, Thou hast died, And I have died in Thee! Thou’rt ris’n—my hands are all untied, And now Thou liv’st in me. When purified, made white and tried, Thy glory then for me!

• [Yes 53:6] I Was A Wandering Sheep

  I was a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd’s voice, I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child, I did not love my home; I did not love my Father’s voice, I loved afar to roam. The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; They followed me o’er vale and hill, O’er deserts waste and wild; They found me nigh to death, Famished and faint and lone; They bound me with the bands of love, They saved the wand’ring one. They spoke in tender love, They raised my drooping head, They gently closed my bleeding wounds, My fainting soul they fed; They washed my filth away, They made me clean and fair; They brought me to my home in peace, The long sought wanderer. Jesus my Shepherd is: ’Twas He that loved my soul; ’Twas He that washed me in His blood, ’Twas He that made me whole. ’Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wand’ring sheep, ’Twas He that brought me to the fold, ’Tis He that still doth keep. No more a wandering sheep, I love to be controlled; I love my tender Shepherd’s voice, I love the peaceful fold. No more a wayward child, I seek no more to roam; I love my heavenly Father’s voice, I love, I love His home!

How dreadful was the hour When God our wanderings laid And did at once His vengeance pour, Upon the Shepherd’s head! How glorious was the grace When Christ sustained the stroke! His life and blood the Shepherd pays A ransom for the flock. His honor and His breath Were taken both away, Joined with the wicked in His death, And made as vile as they. But God shall raise His head O’er all the sons of men, And make Him see a numerous seed, To recompense His pain. “I’ll give Him,” saith the Lord, “A portion with the strong; He shall possess a large reward; And hold His honors long.”

My stream of life shall ever be A current flowing ceaselessly, Thy constant praise outpouring. I’ll treasure in my memory, O Lord, all Thou hast done for me, Thy gracious love adoring. Of death I am no more afraid, New life from Thee is flowing; Thy cross affords me cooling shade When noonday’s sun is glowing. When by my grief I am oppressed, On Thee my weary soul shall rest Serenely as on pillows. Thou art my Anchor when by woe My bark is driven to and fro On trouble’s surging billows. And when Thy glory I shall see And taste Thy kingdom’s pleasure, Thy blood my royal robe shall be, My joy beyond all measure. When I appear before Thy throne, Thy righteousness shall be my crown— With these I need not hide me. And there, in garments richly wrought As Thine own bride, I shall be brought To stand in joy beside Thee.
