Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: HTLG2017 #255 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: BEECHER Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heav'n to earth come down, fix in us Thy humble dwelling; all Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion; pure, unbounded love Thou art; visit us with Thy salvation; enter ev'ry trembling heart. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit into ev'ry troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit; let us find the promised rest. Take away the love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; end of faith, as its beginning: set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty, to deliver; let us all Thy life receive; suddenly return and never, nevermore Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, serve Thee as Thy hosts above, pray and praise Thee without ceasing, glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish then Thy new creation; pure and spotless let us be. Let us see Thy great salvation perfectly restored in Thee. Changed from glory into glory, till in heav'n we take our place, till we cast our crowns before Thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.

As Longs the Deer for Cooling Streams

Hymnal: HTLG2017 #43 (2017) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: BELMONT Lyrics: 1 As longs the deer for cooling streams in parched and barren ways, so longs my soul, O God, for Thee and Thy refreshing grace. 2 For Thee, my God, the living God, my thirsty soul doth pine; O when shall I behold Thy face, Thou majesty divine? 3 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Hope still, and thou shalt sing the praise of Him who is thy God, thy health’s eternal spring. 4 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the God whom we adore, be glory as it was, is now, and shall be evermore.

He Dies, the Friend of Sinners Dies

Author: Isaac Watts; Augustus Toplady Hymnal: HTLG2017 #158 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: BLOCKLEY First Line: He dies, the Friend of sinners dies! Lyrics: 1 He dies, the Friend of sinners dies! Lo! Salem's daughters weep around. A solemn darkness veils the skies; a sudden trembling shakes the ground. 2 Here's love and grief beyond degree: the Lord of glory dies for men; but lo, what sudden joys we see! Jesus, the dead, revives again. 3 The rising God forsakes the tomb! The tomb in vain forbids His rise: Cherubic legions guard Him home, And shout Him welcome to the skies. 4 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell how high your great Deliv'rer reigns. Sing how He spoiled the hosts of hell, and led the monster, Death, in chains. 5 Say: "Live forever, wondrous King, born to redeem, and strong to save!" Then ask the monster: "Where's thy sting? And where's thy vict'ry, boasting grave?" Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death Languages: English

How Marvelous God's Greatness

Author: Valdimar Briem; Chalres Venn Pilcher Hymnal: HTLG2017 #34 (2017) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Tune Title: BLOMSTERTID First Line: How marvelous God's greatness! Lyrics: 1 How marvelous God's greatness! How glorious His might! To this the world bears witness in wonders day and night - in form of flow'r and snowflake, in morn's resplendent birth, in afterglow at even, in sky and sea and earth. 2 Each tiny flow'ret whispers the great Life-giver's Name; the mighty mountain masses His majesty proclaim; the hollow vales are hymning God's shelter for His own; the snowcapped peaks are pointing to God's almighty throne. 3 The ocean's vast abysses in one grand psalm record the deep mysterious counsels and mercies of the Lord; the icy waves of winter are thund'ring on the strand; and grief's chill stream is guided by God's all gracious hand. 4 The starry hosts are singing thro' all the light strewn sky of God's eternal temple and palace courts on high; when in these outer chambers such glory gilds the night, O, what transcendent brightness is God's eternal light!

Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: HTLG2017 #309 (2017) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Tune Title: BLOMSTERTID Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises the Christian while he sings; it is the Lord who rises with healing in His wings; when comforts are declining, He grants the soul again a season of clear shining, to cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, we sweetly then pursue the theme of God’s salvation, and find it ever new. Set free from present sorrow, we cheerfully can say, “E'en let the unknown morrow bring with it what it may.” 3 "It can bring with it nothing, but He will bear us through; who gives the lilies clothing will clothe His people, too; beneath the spreading heavens no creature but is fed; and He who feeds the ravens will give His children bread." 4 Though vine nor fig tree neither their wonted fruit should bear, though all the field should wither, nor flocks nor herds be there, yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; for while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

Author: Samuel P. Tregelles Hymnal: HTLG2017 #278 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: BOURBON Lyrics: 1 Thy broken body, gracious Lord, is shadowed by this broken bread; the wine which in this cup is poured points to the blood which Thou hast shed. 2 And while we meet together thus, we show that we are one in Thee; Thy precious blood was shed for us, Thy death, O Lord, hast set us free! 3 Brethren in Thee, in union sweet, forever be Thy grace adored! 'Tis in Thy Name that now we meet, and Thou art with us, gracious Lord. 4 We have one hope that Thou wilt come, Thee in the air we wait to see, when Thou wilt give Thy saints a home, and we shall ever reign with Thee.

A Charge to Keep I Have

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: HTLG2017 #294 (2017) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Title: BOYLSTON Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have, a God to glorify, a never dying soul to save, and fit it for the sky. 2 To serve the present age, my calling to fulfill, O may it all my pow'rs engage to do my Master's will! 3 Arm me with watchful care as in Thy sight to live, and now Thy servant, Lord, prepare a strict account to give! 4 Help me to watch and pray, and still on Thee rely, O let me not my trust betray, but press to realms on high.

Jesus, the strength of ev'ry saint, will aid you from on high. 4 Though sometimes unperceived by sense, faith sees Him always near! a Guide, a Glory, a Defense; then what have you to fear? 5 As surely as He overcame and triumphed once for you, so surely you that love His name shall in Him triumph too.

It is finished! It is finished!" Hear the dying Savior cry; hear the dying Savior cry. 2 "It is finished!" O what pleasure do these precious words afford; heav'nly blessings, without measure, flow to us from Christ the Lord: "It is finished! It is finished! It is finished!" Saints, the dying words record; saints, the dying words record. 3 Finished all the types and shadows of the ceremonial law; finished all that God had promised; death and hell no more shall awe: "It is finished! It is finished! It is finished!" Saints, from hence your comfort draw; saints, from hence your comfort draw. 4 Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs, join to sing the glorious theme; all in earth, and all in heaven, join to praise Emmanuel's Name: Alleluia!

Approach, My Soul, the Mercy Seat

Author: John Newton Hymnal: HTLG2017 #277 (2017) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: BURFORD Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy seat, where Jesus answers pray'r; there humbly fall before His feet, for none can perish there. 2 Thy promise is my only plea, with this I venture nigh; Thou callest burdened souls to Thee, and such, O Lord, am I. 3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin, by Satan sorely pressed, by wars without, and fears within, I come to Thee for rest. 4 Be Thou my shield and hiding place, that, sheltered near Thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, and tell him, "Thou hast died." 5 O wondrous love, to bleed and die, to bear the cross and shame, that guilty sinners such as I, might plead Thy gracious name. 6 "Poor tempest-tossèd soul, be still, my promised grace receive"; 'tis Jesus speaks; I must, I will, I can, I do believe.
