Depth of Mercy

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 811 hymnals First Line: Depth of mercy! Can there be Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! Can there be mercy still reserved for me? Can my God His wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare? 2 I have long withstood His grace: long provoked Him to His face; would not hearken to His calls; grieved Him by a thousand falls. 3 I my Master have denied, I afresh have crucified, oft profaned His hallowed name, put Him to an open shame. 4 There for me the Savior stands, shows His wounds and spreads His hands: God is love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps, but loves me still! 5 Now incline me to repent! Let me now my fall lament! Now my foul revolt deplore! Weep, believe, and sin no more.

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 127 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, my Savior’s love to me; love to the loveless shown, that they might lovely be. O who am I, that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh and die? 2 He came from His blest throne salvation to bestow; but men made strange, and none the longed for Christ would know. But oh, my Friend, my Friend indeed, who at my need His life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew His way, and His sweet praises sing; resounding all the day hosannas to their King. Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, and for His death they thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, He gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these themselves displease, and 'gainst Him rise. 5 They rise, and needs will have my dear Lord made away; a murderer they save, the Prince of Life they slay. Yet cheerful He to suff'ring goes, that He His foes from thence might free. 6 In life, no house, no home my Lord on earth might have; in death, no friendly tomb but what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heav'n was His home, but mine the tomb wherein He lay. 7 Here might I stay and sing, no story so divine; never was love, dear King, never was grief like Thine. This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN
