O Love of God, How Strong and True!

Author: Horatiu s Bonar (1808-1889) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #79 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O love of God, how strong and true! Eternal, and yet ever new; Uncomprehended and unbought, Beyond all knowledge and all thought. 2 O love of God, how deep and great, Far deeper than man’s deepest hate; Self-fed, self-kindled like the light, Changeless, eternal, infinite. 3 We read thee best in Him who cam To bear for us the cross of shame; Sent by the Father from on high, Our life to live, our death to die. 4 We read thy power to bless and save, E’en in the darkness of the grave; Still more in resurrection light We read the fullness of thy might. 5 O love of God, our shield and stay Through all the perils of our way! Eternal love, in thee we rest, Forever safe, forever blest. Topics: God the Father Love of God Tune Title: OMBERSLEY

This stone of faith, O Lord, we lay

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #139 (2004) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 This stone in faith, O Lord, we lay; and build a house for You in love; to guard this sanctuary night and day look down in mercy from above. 2 Here, when Your people seek Your face, and dying sinners pray to live, hear them in heaven Your dwelling-place, And when You hear, O Lord, forgive! 3 Here, when Your messengers proclaim the blessed gospel of Your Son, still, by the power of His great name, be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 'Hosanna!' to their heavenly King, when children's voices raise that song, 'Hosanna!' let their angels sing, and heaven, with earth, the strain prolong. 5 But will the eternal Father deign, here to abide, no transient guest? Will here the world's Redeemer reign, and here the Holy Spirit rest? 6 That glory never hence depart! Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone: Your kingdom come to every heart: in all the world be Yours the throne. Topics: The Temple Dedication of Buildings Languages: English Tune Title: OMBERSLEY

We sing the praise of him who died

Author: T. Kelly (1769-1855) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #146b (1987) Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope let sin deride — for this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see in shining letters, 'God is love'; He bears our sins upon the tree, he brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross — it takes our guilt away;, it holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day and sweetens every bitter cup; 4 It makes the coward spirit brave and nerves the feeble arm for fight; it takes the terror from the grave and gilds the bed of death with light: 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love; the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heaven above.

Fully absolved thro' these I am, From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 3 Lord, I believe Thy precious blood, Which, at the mercy seat of God, For ever doth for sinners plead, For me, e'en for my soul, was shed. 4 Lord, I believe were sinners more Than sands upon the ocean shore, Thou hast for all a ransom paid, For all a full atonement made.
