Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,900 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:6 Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee; let the water and the blood, from thy wounded side which flowed, be of sin the double cure, save from wrath and make me pure. 2 Not the labors of my hands can fulfill thy law's demands; could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone; thou must save and thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling; naked, come to thee for dress, helpless, look to thee for grace; foul, I to the fountain fly, wash me, Savior, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyes shall close in death, when I soar to worlds unknown, see thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.

Faith Is the Victory

Encamped along the hills of light, Ye Christian soldiers, rise, And press the battle ere the night Shall veil the glowing skies. Against the foe in vales below, Let all our strength be hurled; Faith is the victory, we know, That overcomes the world. Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! Oh, glorious victory That overcomes the world. 2. His banner over us is love, Our sword the Word of God; We tread the road the saints above With shouts of triumph trod. By faith they, like a whirlwind's breath, Swept on o'er ev'ry field; The faith by which they conquered death Is still our shining shield. Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! Oh, glorious victory That overcomes the world. 3. To him who overcomes the foe White raiment shall be giv'n; Before the angels he shall know His name confessed in heav'n. Then onward from the hills of light, Our hearts with love aflame; We'll vanquish all the hosts of night, In Jesus' conq'ring name. Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! Oh, glorious victory That overcomes the world. Used With Tune: SANKEY

One holy name she blesses, and shares one holy food, as to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. 3 In toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war she waits the consummation of peace for evermore, till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth has union with God, the Three in one, and mystical communion with those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee.

Chorus: Ask the Savior to help you, Comfort, strengthen, and keep you, He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through. 2 Shun evil companions, Bad language disdain, God’s name hold in rev’rence, Nor take it in vain; Be thoughtful and earnest, Kindhearted and true, Look ever to Jesus, He will carry you through.

Hymn 9

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:6 First Line: Let all our tongues be one Lyrics: [Let all our tongues be one To praise our God on high, Who from his bosom sent his Son To fetch us strangers nigh. Nor let our voices cease To sing the Savior's name; Jesus, th' ambassador of peace, How cheerfully he came! It cost him cries and tears To bring us near to God; Great was our debt, and he appears To make the payment good.] [My Savior's pierced side Poured out a double flood; By water we are purified, And pardoned by the blood. Infinite was our guilt, But he, our Priest, atones; On the cold ground his life was spilt, And offered with his groans.] Look up, my soul, to him Whose death was thy desert, And humbly view the living stream Flow from his breaking heart. There, on the cursed tree, In dying pangs he lies, Fulfils his Father's great decree, And all our wants supplies. Thus the Redeemer came By water and by blood; And when the Spirit speaks the same, We feel his witness good. While the eternal Three Bear their record above, Here I believe he died for me, And seal my Savior's love. [Lord, cleanse my soul from sin Nor let thy grace depart; Great Comforter, abide within, And witness to my heart.]
