% 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. Christ, Thou art the sole oblation
W: That I'll bring before my God;
W: In his sight I've acceptation
W: Only through Thy streaming blood:
W: Immaculate righteousness now I've acquired,
W: Since Thou on the tree of the cross hast expired;
W: The robe of salvation for ever is mine,
W: In this shall my faith through eternity shine.
W: 
W: 7. Let my soul, in full exemption,
W: Wake up in Thy likeness now;
W: Thou art made to me redemption,
W: My sanctification Thou.
W: Whatever I need for my Journey to Heaven
W: In Thee, I my Savior, is unto me given.
W: Oh! let me all perishing pleasures forgo,
W: And Thy life, O Jesus! alone let me know.
W: 
W: 8. Where should else my hopes be centered?
W: Grace o'erwhelms me with its flood;
W: Thou, my Savior, once hast enter'd
W: Holiest heaven through Thy blood:
W: Eternal redemption for sinners there finding,
W: From hell's dark dominion my spirit unbinding,
W: To me perfect freedom Thy entrance has brought,
W: And childlike to cry, "Abba, Father," I'm taught.
W: 
W: 9. Christ Himself, my Shepherd, feeds me,
W: Peace and joy my spirit fill;
W: In a pasture green He leads me
W: Forth beside the waters still:
W: Oh! naught to my soul is so sweet and reviving,
W: As thus unto Jesus alone to be living;
W: True happiness this, and this only supplies,
W: Through faith on my Savior to fasten my eyes.
W: 
W: 10. Therefore, Jesus, my Salvation,
W: Thou my One, my All shalt be;
W: Prove my fix'd determination,
W: Root out all hypocrisy:
W: Look well if on sin's slippery paths I am hasting,
W: And lead me, O Lord, in the way everlasting;
W: This one thing is needful, all others are vain,
W: I count all but loss that I Christ may obtain.
