Finish the Classic Hymns.........and then begin another one!

[Crazy Liz]

OK, now I get it.

Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christians love...

I see the one I posted last was too hard, too. It was by Tyla Paris, who is, as far as I know, just about the only person currently writing real hymns - like Charles Wesley or Isaac Watts. My two favorites of hers are "How Beautiful is the Body of Christ" that I listed above and "Lamb of God." They are both appropriate for communion hymns but also for other settings. I remember one Sunday when I had to sit on the platform during the first part of the service. Looking out on the congregation singing "How Beautiful" with the choir singing right behind me was an incredible experience!

OK, I'll start an easier one now:

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea...

*bump*

Crazy Liz can you give some more for a hint.

 

[Crazy Liz]

Whoa! I thought that one was not tough at all. When I chose one by Twila Paris, I realized it probably wasn't really a "classic" - i.e. not old enough to be in the public domain, even though written in the style of the classic hymns of Charles Wesley.

This one is old. You can find the words in the Cyber Hymnal, although we use a different tune than the 3 they list for it. The one we use is a new arrangement of an old Celtic melody. The bulletin says "Townend" is the composer.

Is that enough of a hint?

 

[RED that's ME]

I hope this is it..... Thanks Crazy Liz you're a sweetie for the hint.

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea.
A great high Priest whose Name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in Heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.

Behold Him there the risen Lamb,
My perfect spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
King of glory and of grace,
One in Himself I cannot die.
My soul is purchased by His blood,
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ my Savior and my God!

Next song.....

O what a wonderful, wonderful day- Day I will never forget;

 

[GreenEyedLady]

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul,
When at the cross the Savior made me whole;
My sins were washed away And my night was turned to day
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul,


AMEN sister! It is GOOD to be BACK!!! I have decided to stay because the Lord heard my cry!!
This is an easy one but fits my spirit just perfect at this moment............

I HEARD AN OLD,
OLD STORY
HOW A SAVIOUR CAME
FROM GLORY
HOW HE GAVE HIS LIFE
ON CALVARY
TO SAVE SOMEONE LIKE ME.............................

I heard about His groaning, Of His prescious blood's atoning
Then I repented of my sins, and won the victory.
(sing with me now)
O Victory in Jesus, my Savior forever
He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.
(I love that one!!)

okay,

My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name ...
(Okay, go)

...On Christ the Solid Rock I stand All other Ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sand.

Ok here's mine...

I have found a friend in Jesus he's everything to me he's the fairest of 10,000 to my soul...

 

[Crazy Liz]

On Christ the solid rock I stand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

On Christ the solid rock I stand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.




OK, this time I promise to pick one that is old & completely in the public domain...


He took my feet from the miry clay,
Yes, He did! Yes, He did!...

 

[Crazy Liz]

oops! Moeowo beat me! :o

 

[RED that's ME]

And placed them on the rock to stay,
Yes, He did! Yes, He did!

Refrain

I can tell the world about this,
I can tell the nations I’m blest,
Tell them that Jesus made me whole,
And He brought joy, joy to my soul!

O my Lord did just what He said,
Yes, He did! Yes, He did!
He healed the sick and He raised the dead,
Yes, He did! Yes, He did!



Next song....

Christ our Redeemer died on the cross,
Died for the sinner, paid all his due.

 

[RED that's ME]

Bump

 

[GreenEyedLady]

When I see the blood, when I see the blood,
When I see the blood, I will pass, I will pass over you.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!

I am glad you bumped this!

The burdens of life may be many,
The frowns of the world may be cold;


COME ON PEOPLE, lets keep this going.
Red, what do I have to do to get a sticky for this?????????
