% This file is a part of the Open Hymnal Project to create a freely 
% distributable, downloadable database of Christian hymns, spiritual 
% songs, and prelude/postlude music.  This music is to be distributed 
% as complete scores (words and music), using all accompaniment parts, 
% in formats that are easily accessible on most computer OS's and which
% can be freely modified by anyone.  The current format of choice is the 
% "ABC Plus" format, favored by folk music distributors on the internet.
% All scores will also be converted into pdf, MIDI, and mp3 formats.
% Some advanced features of ABC Plus are used, and for accurate 
% translation to a printed score, please consider using "abcm2ps" 
% version 4.10 or later.  I am doing my best to create a final product
% that is "Hymnal-quality", and could feasibly be used as the basis for
% a printed church hymnal.
%
% The maintainer of the Open Hymnal Project is Brian J. Dumont (brian 
% dot j dot dumont at gmail dot com).  I have gone through serious efforts 
% to make sure that no copyright mistakes make it into this database.
% If I am in error, please inform me as soon as possible.
%
% This entire effort has used only free software, and I am indebted to 
% the efforts of many other individuals, including the authors of
% the various ABC and ABC Plus software.  Undoubtedly, I am also indebted 
% to all of the great Christians who wrote these hymns.
%
% This database comes with no guarantees whatsoever.
%
% I would love to get email from anyone who uses the Open Hymnal, and
% I will take requests for hymns to add.  My decision of whether to 
% add a hymn will be based on these criteria (in the following order):
% 1) It must be in the public domain or freely distributable
% 2) It must be a Christian piece
% 3) Whether I have access to a printed copy of the music (surprisingly,
%    a MIDI file is usually a terrible source)
% 4) Whether I like the hymn :)
%
% If you would like to contribute to the Open Hymnal Project, please 
% send an email to me, I would love the help!  PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU 
% FIND ANY MISTAKES, no matter how small.  I want to ensure that every 
% slur, stem, hyphenation, and punctuation mark is correct; and I'm sure 
% that there must be mistakes right now.

W:6.Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
W:Your loosened tongues employ;
W:Ye blind, behold your Savior come,
W:And leap, ye lame, for joy.
W:
W:7.In Christ your Head, you then shall know,
W:Shall feel your sins forgiven;
W:Anticipate your heaven below,
W:And own that love is heaven.
W:
W:8.Glory to God, and praise and love
W:Be ever, ever given,
W:By saints below and saints above,
W:The church in earth and heaven.
W:
W:9.On this glad day the glorious Sun
W:Of Righteousness arose;
W:On my benighted soul He shone
W:And filled it with repose.
W:
W:10.Sudden expired the legal strife,
W:'Twas then I ceased to grieve;
W:My second, real, living life
W:I then began to live.
W:
W:11.Then with my heart I first believed,
W:Believed with faith divine,
W:Power with the Holy Ghost received
W:To call the Savior mine.
W:
W:12.I felt my Lord's atoning blood
W:Close to my soul applied;
W:Me, me He loved, the Son of God,
W:For me, for me He died!
W:
W:13.I found and owned His promise true,
W:Ascertained of my part,
W:My pardon passed in heaven I knew
W:When written on my heart.
W:
W:14.Look unto Him, ye nations, own
W:Your God, ye fallen race;
W:Look, and be saved through faith alone,
W:Be justified by grace.
W:
W:15.See all your sins on Jesus laid:
W:The Lamb of God was slain,
W:His soul was once an offering made
W:For every soul of man.
W:
W:16.Awake from guilty nature's sleep,
W:And Christ shall give you light,
W:Cast all your sins into the deep,
W:And wash the Æthiop white.
W:
W:17.Harlots and publicans and thieves
W:In holy triumph join!
W:Saved is the sinner that believes
W:From crimes as great as mine.
W:
W:18.Murderers and all ye hellish crew,
W:Ye sons of lust and pride,
W:Believe the Savior died for you;
W:For me the Savior died.
W:
W:19.With me, your chief, ye then shall know,
W:Shall feel your sins forgiven;
W:Anticipate your heaven below,
W:And own that love is heaven.
