Adoption
Author: Cruttenden Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:1-3 First Line: Let others boast their ancient line Lyrics: 1 Let others boast their ancient line
In long succession great;
In the proud list let heroes shine,
And monarchs swell the state;
Descended from the King of Kings,
Each saint a nobler title sings.
2 Pronounce me, gracious God, thy son,
Own me an heir divine;
I'll pity princes on the throne,
When I can call thee mine;
Scepters and crowns unenvied rise,
And lose their lustre in mine eyes.
3 Content, obscure I pass my days,
To all I meet unknown,
And wait till thou thy child shalt raise,
And seat menear thy throne.
No name, no honors here I crave,
Well pleas'd with those beyond the grave.
4 Jesus, my elder brother, lives,
With him I too shall reign;
Nor sin, nor death, while he survives,
Shall make the promise vain.
In him my title stands secure,
And shall, while endless years endure.
5 When he, in robes divinely bright,
Shall once again appear,
Thou, too my soul, shalt shine in light,
And his full image bear.
Enough!—I wait th' appointed day,
Bless'd Savior, haste, and come away! Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Adoption

Savior, this my constant prayer shall be—

Make me more and more like thee.

Or my feet move wearily,
Savior, take my hand and lead me,
Keep me steadfast: more like thee. [Refrain]

And my shrinking soul would flee,
Change each weakness into power,
Keep me spotless: more like thee. [Refrain]

And thy beauties none may see,
May thy beams, O Glorious Brightness,
In effulgence shine thro' me. [Refrain]

Leaves its impress on my brow,
May thy life, within me swelling,
Keep me singing then as now. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Jesus, Savior, great Example]

"Not seen, ye love"
Author: William Cowper Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:2 First Line: My Saviour, whom absent I love Lyrics: 1 My Saviour, whom absent I love,
Whom, not having seen, I adore,
Whose name is exalted above
All glory, dominion, and powers,--
Dissolve thou these bands that detain
My soul from her portion in thee;
Ah, strike off this adamant chain,
And make me eternally free!
2 When that happy era begins,
When arrayed in thy glories I shine,
Nor grieve any more, by my sins,
The bosom on which I recline,
Oh, then shall the vail be removed,
And round me thy brightness be poured!
I shall meet him, whom absent I loved,
I shall see, whom unseen I adored!
3 And then, nevermore shall the fears,
The trials, temptations, and woes,
Which darken this valley of tears,
Intrude on my blissful repose:
To Jesus, the crown of my hope,
My soul is in haste to be gone;
Oh, bear me, ye cherubim, up,
And waft me away to his throne! Topics: Christ Character of; Christians Love for Christ; Communion of Saints With Christ Used With Tune: VERNON

Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna!
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:1 Lyrics: 1 Christ is risen! Shout Hosanna!
Celebrate this day of days!
Christ is risen! Hush in wonder:
all creation is amazed.
In the desert all-surrounding,
see, a spreading tree has grown.
Healing leaves of grace abounding
bring a taste of love unknown.
2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits
from the caverns of despair.
Walk with gladness in the morning.
See what love can do and dare.
Drink the wine of resurrection,
not a servant, but a friend.
Jesus is our strong companion.
Joy and peace shall never end.
3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven
nevermore shall be the same.
Break the bread of new creation
where the world is still in pain.
Tell its grim, demonic chorus:
"Christ is risen! Get you gone!"
God the First and Last is with us.
Sing Hosanna, everyone! Used With Tune: W ZLOBIE LEZY

What Law Have You Broken
Author: Johann Heermann, 1585-1647; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:5 First Line: O dearest Jesus, what law have you broken Lyrics: 1 O dearest Jesus, what law have you broken
that such sharp sentence should on you be spoken?
Of what great crime have you to make confession,
what dark transgression?
2 They crown your head with thorns, they smite, they scourge you;
with cruel mockings to the cross they urge you;
they give you gall to drink, they still decry you;
they crucify you.
3 Whence come these sorrows, whence this mortal anguish?
It is my sins for which you, Lord, must languish;
yes, all the wrath, the woe that you inherit,
this I do merit.
4 What punishment so strange is suffered yonder!
The Shepherd dies for sheep that loved to wander;
the Master pays the debt his servants owe him,
who would not know him.
5 The sinless Son of God must die in sadness,
the sinful child of man may live in gladness;
we forfeited our lives, yet are acquitted;
God is committed.
6 I’ll think upon your mercy without ceasing,
that earth’s vain joys to me no more be pleasing;
to do your will shall be my sole endeavor
henceforth forever.
7 And when, dear Lord, before your throne in heaven
to me the crown of joy at last is given,
where sweetest hymns your saints forever raise you,
I too shall praise you.
