Hymn choice 2

Tis a true and faithful saying,
Jesus died for sinful men,
Though we’ve told the story often,
We must tell it o’er again.

Oh! glad and glorious gospel,
With joy we now proclaim,
A full and free salvation
Through faith in Jesus’ name.

He has made a full atonement,
Now His saving work is done,
He has glorified the Father,
Who accepts us in His Son.

Still upon His hands the nail-prints,
And the scars upon His brow,
Our Redeemer, Lord, and Saviour,
In the glory liveth now.

But remember this same Jesus,
In the clouds will come again,
And with Him His blood-bought people
Evermore shall live and reign.

Hymn choice 1

The first of an occasional selection of favourite hymns.

Down from the splendour of His everlasting throne
Came the Lord of glory, for our guilt to atone;
Son of God eternal, He the sinner’s surety stood,
Paid the sinner’s ransom in His precious blood.

Glory, glory, glory unto Jesus!
Anyone, everyone He can fully save.
Glory, glory, glory unto Jesus!
Hallelujah! All who trust Him He will save.

Over death triumphant He is risen from the grave;
Back to heaven ascended, Jesus now lives to save.
Nothing else remaineth but salvation to receive,
When with true repentance you on Him believe.

Come today to Jesus, do not longer stay away;
Come and take salvation, come to Christ, while you may;
Heavenly voices call you, and the Saviour waits to bless:
Come to Him believing, and His Name confess.
