Adopted

Author: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Hymnal: CYBER #31 First Line: O what a blessing, how can I express it? Refrain First Line: I am adopted, O wonderful love Lyrics: 1. O what a blessing, how can I express it? Out of the fullness of rapture I sing, Now by the Father received and adopted, I am a child and an heir of a king. Refrain: I am adopted, O wonderful love, Heir to a heritage purchased above; Tell it, my soul, and joyfully sing, I am a child and an heir of a king. 2. O what a Father, how tenderly gracious, O what a Savior to make me His care; Tho’ I have slighted, rejected, and grieved Him, Still He permits me His kingdom to share. [Refrain] 3. O the unsearchable riches He giveth, Riches increasing from day unto day; Treasures in value all others excelling, Treasures that never will rust nor decay. [Refrain] 4. When I have finished the work He appoints me, When I have ended my journey below, Then to my Father and Jesus my Savior, Home to a beautiful palace I go.

And Didst Thou Love the Race?

Author: Jean Ingelow Hymnal: CYBER #32 Meter: 10.10.10.6 First Line: And didst Thou love the race that loved not Thee? Lyrics: 1. And didst Thou love the race that loved not Thee? And didst Thou take to Heaven a human brow? Dost plead with man’s voice by the marvelous sea? Art Thou his kinsman now? 2. O God, O kinsman loved, but not enough, O Man, with eyes majestic after death, Whose feet have toiled along our pathways rough, Whose lips drawn human breath! 3. By that one likeness which is ours and Thine, By that one nature which doth hold us kin, By that high Heaven where, sinless, Thou dost shine To draw us sinners in; 4. By Thy last silence in the judgment hall, By long foreknowledge of the deadly tree, By darkness, by the wormwood and the gall, I pray Thee visit me. 5. Come, lest this heart should, cold and cast away, Die ere the guest adored she entertain— Lest eyes which never saw Thine earthly day Should miss Thy heavenly reign.

Afflictions Do Not Come Alone

Author: John Newton Hymnal: CYBER #38 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Afflictions do not come alone, A voice attends the rod; By both He to His saints is known, A Father and a God! 2. Let not My children slight the stroke I for chastisement send; Nor faint beneath My kind rebuke, For still I am their friend. 3. The wicked I perhaps may leave Awhile, and not reprove; But all the children I receive I scourge, because I love. 4. If therefore you were left without This needful discipline; You might, with cause, admit a doubt, If you, indeed, were Mine. 5. Shall earthly parents then expect Their children to submit? And wilt not you, when I correct, Be humbled at My feet? 6. To please themselves they oft chastise, And put their sons to pain; But you are precious in My eyes, And shall not smart in vain. 7. I see your hearts, at present, filled With grief, and deep distress; But soon these bitter seeds shall yield The fruits of righteousness. 8. Break through the clouds, dear Lord, and shine! Let us perceive Thee nigh! And to each mourning child of Thine These gracious words apply. Languages: English Tune Title: ABRIDGE

Afflictions, Though They Seem Severe

Author: John Newton Hymnal: CYBER #39 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Afflictions, though they seem severe; In mercy oft are sent; They stopped the prodigal’s career, And forced him to repent. 2. Although he no relentings felt Till he had spent his store; His stubborn heart began to melt When famine pinched him sore. 3. “What have I gained by sin, he said, But hunger, shame, and fear; My father’s house abounds with bread, While I am starving here. 4. I’ll go, and tell him all I’ve done, And fall before his face Unworthy to be called his son, I’ll seek a servant’s place. 5. His father saw him coming back, He saw, and ran, and smiled; And threw his arms around the neck Of his rebellious child. 6. Father, I’ve sinned—but O forgive! I’ve heard enough, he said, “Rejoice my house, my son’s alive, For whom I mourned as dead. 7. Now let the fatted calf be slain, And spread the news around; My son was dead, but lives again, Was lost, but now is found. 8. ’Tis thus the Lord His love reveals, To call poor sinners home; More than a father’s love He feels, And welcomes all that come.
