Behold what condescending love

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 81 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:14 Lyrics: 1 Behold what condescending love Jesus on earth displays! To babes and sucklings he extends The riches of his grace! 2 He still the ancient promise keeps, To our forefathers giv'n; Young children in his arms he takes, And calls them heirs of heaven. 3 "Permit them to approach," he cries, "Nor scorn their humble name; For 'twas to bless such souls as these, The Lord of angels came." 4 We bring them, Lord, with thankful hearts, And yield them up to thee; Joyful that we ourselves are thine, Thine may our offspring be. 5 Kindly receive this tender branch, And form his soul for God; Baptize him with thy spirit Lord And wash him with thy blood. 6 "Thus to their parents and their seed Let thy salvation come; And num'rous households meet at last, In one eternal home."

When Love Is Found

Author: Brain Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:8 First Line: When love is found and hope comes home Lyrics: 1 When love is found and hope comes home, sing and be glad that two are one. When love explodes and fills the sky, praise God, and share our Maker's joy. 2 When love has flowered in trust and care, build both each day, that love may dare to reach beyond home's warmth and light, to serve and strive for truth and right. 3 When love is tried as loved-ones change, hold still to hope, though all seems strange, till ease returns and love grows wise through listening ears and opened eyes. 4 When love is torn, and trust betrayed, pray strength to love till torments fade, till lovers keep no score of wrong, but hear through pain love's Easter song. 5 Praise God for love, praise God for life, in age or youth, in calm or strife. Lift up your hearts! Let love be fed through death and life in broken bread. Topics: Marriage; Seasons Festival of the Christian Home; Struggle and Conflict Used With Tune: O WALY WALY

Refrain: Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on his gentle breast, There by his love o'ershaded, Sweetly my soul shall rest. 2 Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe from corroding care, Safe from the world's temptations, Sin cannot harm me there. Free from the blight of sorrow, Free from my doubts and fears, Only a few more trials, Only a few more tears. [Refrain] 3 Jesus, my heart's dear Refuge, Jesus has died for me; Firm on the Rock of Ages Ever my trust shall be. Here let me wait with patience, Wait till the night is o'er, Wait till I see the morning Break on the golden shore. [Refrain] Amen.
