Great High Priest, we see Thee stooping

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Prayer

1-Corinthians_1-18: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God

Great High Priest, we see Thee stooping,

With our names upon Thy breast;

In the garden groaning, drooping,

To the ground with horrors prest:

Wondering angels stood confounded,

To behold their Maker thus;

And can we remain unwounded,

When we know ‘twas all for us?

Nothing but Thy blood, O Jesus,

Can our wayward souls convert;

Nothing else from guilt release us,

Nothing else can melt the heart,

Law and terrors do but harden,

All the while they work alone;

But the sense of blood-bought pardon

Can dissolve a heart of stone.

Jesus, all our consolations

Flow from Thee, the sovereign good:

Love. and faith, and hope, and patience,

All are purchased by Thy blood

From Thy fullness we receive

them;

We have nothing of our own:

Freely Thou delight’st to give them

To the needy who have none,

May God Bless Nigeria, America And Israel And Take Care Of Us; May God Make His Face Shine Upon Us, And Be Gracious To Us; May The Lord Lift Up His Countenance Upon Us, And Give Us Peace, In Jesus Christ Name, We Pray! Amen!

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Have you read the story of the cross, Where Jesus bled and died

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Prayer

1-Corinthians_1-18: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God

Have you read the story of the cross,

Where Jesus bled and died;

Where your debt was paid by his precious blood

That flowed from His wounded side?

He died of a broken heart for

you

He died of a broken heart,’

Up-on a tree, for you, for me,

He died of a broken heart.

Have you read how they placed the crown of thorns

Up-on His brow for you

When He prayed, “Forgive them, Oh, forgive,

They know not what they do?”

Have you read how He saved the dying thief

When hanging on the tree,

When He looked with pleading eyes and said,

“Dear Lord remember me.?”

Have you read that He looked to heaven and said

‘Tis finished?”

“Twas for thee!”

Have you ever said, “I thank Thee Lord,

For giving Thy life for me?”

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Alas! And Did My Saviour Bleed?

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Prayer

Luke_2-11: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Alas! And Did My Saviour Bleed?

And did my Sovereign die?

Would He devote that sacred

head

For such a worm as I

At the cross, at the cross where

I first saw the Light,

And the burden of my heart rolled away

It was there by faith I received my sight,

And now I am happy all the day.

Was it for crimes that I have

done

He groaned upon the tree’?

Amazing pity! grace unknown!

And love beyond degree!

Well might the sun in darkness hide,

And shut his glories in,

When Christ, the mighty Maker, died,

For man, the creature’s sin.

Thus might I hide my blushing face,

Whilst His dear cross appears.

Dissolve my heart in thankfulness

And melt mine eyes to tears.

But drops of grief can never repay

The debt of love I owe,

Here, Lord, I give myself away,

“Tis all that I can do,

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Man Of Sorrow

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Prayer

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

“Man of sorrows” what a name

For the Son of God who came

Ruined sinners to reclaim!

Hallelujah! what a Saviour!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,

In my place condemned He stood;

Sealed my pardon with His blood:

Hallelujah’ what a Saviour!

Guilty, vile, and helpless we,

Spotless Lamb of God was He,

“Full atonement,” can it be?

Hallelujah! what a Saviour!

Lifted up was He to die,

“It is finished,” was His cry,

Now in heaven exalted high,

Hallelujah! what a Saviour!

When He comes, our glorious

King,

All His ransomed home to

bring;

Then anew this song we’ll sing:

Hallelujah! what a Saviour!

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

There Is A Green Hill Far Away, Without A City Wall

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Prayer

Galatians_2-20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me

There is a green hill far away,

Without a city wall,

Where the dear Lord was crucified

Who died to save us all.

We may not know, we cannot

tell

What pains He had to bear;

But we believe it was for us

He hung and suffered there.

He died that we might be forgiven

He died to make us good,

That we might go at last to heaven,

Saved by His precious blood.

There was no other good

enough

To pay the price of sin.

He only could unlock the gate

Of heaven, and let us in.

O dearly, dearly has He loved,

And we must love Him too,

And trust in His redeeming blood

And try His works to do.

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

When I Survey The Wondrous Cross, On Which The Prince Of Glory Died

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Prayer

1-Corinthians_1-18: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of glory died

My richest gain I count but loss,

And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,

Save in the death of Christ, my

God:

All the vain things that charm me most

I sacrifice them to His blood.

See from His head, His hands, His feet,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down

Did ever such love and sorrow meet,

Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of nature mine,

That were an offering far too small

Love so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my life, my all.

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Job_19-25: For I know that my Redeemer lives

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid,

Star of the East, the horizon adorning

Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Cold on His cradle the dew drops are shining;

Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall;

Angels adore Him in slumber reclining

Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all,

Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,

Odours of Edom, an offerings divine,

Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,

Myrrh from the forest of gold from the mine?

Vainly we offer each ample oblation

Vainly with gifts would His favour secure;

Richer by far is the heart’s adoration;

Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,

Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;

Star of the East, the horizon

adorning.

Guide where our infant

Redeemer is laid.

Shine on us, Holy Christ;

That we may keep Thy

birthday bright.

With service undefiled.

Thou its sun which goes not

To sing. redeemed, a glad triumphal song:

Around us all His glory shall display

Saved by his love, incessant, we shall sing

Eternal praise to heaven’s Almighty King
