It's Just Like His Great Love

Author: Edna R. Worrel Meter: 13.14.14.14 with refrain Appears in 81 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:1 First Line: A friend I have called Jesus, Whose love is strong and true Refrain First Line: It’s just like Jesus to roll the clouds away Lyrics: 1 A friend I have called Jesus, Whose love is strong and true, And never fails howe’er ’tis tried, no matter what I do; I sinned against this love of His, but when I knelt to pray, Confessing all my guilt to Him, the sin-clouds rolled away. Refrain: It’s just like Jesus to roll the clouds away, It’s just like Jesus to keep me day by day, It’s just like Jesus all along the way, It’s just like His great love. 2 Sometimes when clouds of trouble bedim the sky above, I cannot see my Savior’s face, and doubt His wondrous love; But He, from heaven’s mercy-seat, beholding my despair, In pity bursts the clouds between, and shows me He is there. [Refrain] 3 When sorrow’s clouds o’ertake me, and break upon my head, When life seems worse than useless, and I were better dead; I take my grief to Jesus then, nor do I go in vain, For heav’nly hope He gives that cheers like sunshine after rain. [Refrain] 4 Oh, I could sing forever of Jesus’ love divine, Of all His care and tenderness for this poor life of mine; His love is in and over all, and wind and waves obey, When Jesus whispers, “Peace, be still!” and rolls the clouds away.

It is a thing most wonderful

Author: W. Walsham How, 1823-1897 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:2 Lyrics: 1 It is a thing most wonderful, almost too wonderful to be, that God's own Son should come from heaven, and die to save a child like me. 2 And yet I know that it is true: he chose a poor and humble lot, and wept and toiled and mourned and died for love of those who loved him not. 3 I cannot tell how he could love a child so weak and full of sin; his love must be most wonderful, if he could die my love to win. 4 I sometimes think about the cross, and shut my eyes, and try to see the cruel nails and crown of thorns, and Jesus crucified for me. 5 But even could I see him die, I could but see a little part of that great love which, like a fire, is always burning in his heart. 6 It is most wonderful to know his love for me so free and sure; but 'tis more wonderful to see my love for him so faint and poor. 7 And yet I want to love thee, Lord; O light the flame within my heart, and I will love thee more and more, until I see thee as thou art.

God, who stretched the spangled heavens

Author: Catherine Cameron, 1927- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 46 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:1-3 Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens infinite in time and place, flung the suns in burning radiance through the silent fields of space, we your children, in your likeness, share inventive powers with you: great Creator, still creating, show us what we yet may do. 2 Proudly rise our modern cities, stately buildings, row on row; yet their windows, blank, unfeeling, stare on canyoned streets below, where the lonely drift unnoticed in the city’s ebb and flow, lost to purpose and to meaning, scarcely caring where they go. 3 We have ventured worlds undreamed of since the childhood of our race; known the ecstasy of winging through untraveled realms of space; probed the secrets of the atom, yielding unimagined power, facing us with life’s destruction or our most triumphant hour. 4 As each far horizon beckons, may it challenge us anew, children of creative purpose, serving others, honouring you. May our dreams prove rich with promise, each endeavor, well begun: great Creator, give us guidance till our goals and yours are one.

Resting in God

Author: fr. K. R. Hagenbach Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:1 First Line: Since thy Father's arm sustains thee Lyrics: 1 Since thy Father's arm sustains thee, Peaceful be; When a chastening hand restrains thee, It is he! Know his love in full completeness Fills the measure of thy weakness; If he wound thy spirit sore, Trust him more. 2 Without murmur, uncomplaining, In his hand Lay whatever things thou canst not Understand: Though the world thy folly spurneth, From thy faith in pity turneth, Peace thy inmost soul shall fill-- Lying still. 3 Fearest sometimes that thy Father Hath forgot? When the clouds around thee gather, Doubt him not! Always hath the daylight broken-- Always hath he comfort spoken-- Better hath he been for years, Than thy fears. 4 To his own thy Saviour giveth Daily strength; To each troubled soul that liveth Peace at length: Weakest lambs have largest sharing Of this tender Shepherd's caring; Ask him not, then--when or how-- Only bow.
