O love of God, how rich and pure

Author: Frederick Martin Lehman, 1868-1953 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.6.8.6 with refrain Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: John 21:15-25 First Line: The love of God is greater far Lyrics: 1 The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell; it goes beyond the highest star, and reaches to the lowest hell. The guilty pair bowed down with care God gave his Son to win; his erring child he reconciled, and pardoned every sin. Refrain: O love of God, how rich and pure; how measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure, the saints' and angels' song. 2 When time at last shall pass away, and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall; When those who here refuse to pray on rocks and hills and mountains call; God's love, so sure, shall still endure all measureless and strong, redeeming grace to Adam's race, the saints' and angels' song. [Refrain] 3 Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made; were every stalk on earth a quill, and everyone a scribe by trade; to write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry; nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky.

The Church of Christ in Every Age

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: John 21:15-17 Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age, beset by change but Spirit-led, must claim and test its heritage and keep on rising from the dead. 2 Across the world, across the street, the victims of injustice cry for shelter and for bread to eat, and never live until they die. 3 Then let the servant church arise, a caring church that longs to be a partner in Christ's sacrifice, and clothed in Christ's humanity. 4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed, can cure the fever in our blood, and teach us how to share our bread and feed the starving multitude. 5 We have no mission but to serve in full obedience to our Lord: to care for all, without reserve, and spread Christ's liberating word.

"I love thee, Lord!"

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: John 21:15 First Line: Though sorrows rise and dangers roll Lyrics: 1 Though sorrows rise and dangers roll, In waves of darkness o’er my soul; Though friends are false, and love decays, And few and evil are my days; Though conscience, fiercest of my foes, Swells with remembered guilt my woes; Yet ev’n in nature’s utmost ill, I love thee, Lord, I love thee still! 2 Though Sinai’s curse, in thunder dread, Peals o’er mine unprotected head, And memory points, with busy pain, To grace and mercy given in vain; Till nature, shrinking in the strife, Would fly to hell to ‘scape from life; Though every thought has power to kill, I love thee, Lord, I love thee still! 3 Oh, by the pangs thyself hast borne, The ruffian’s blow, the tyrant’s scorn, By Sinai’s curse, whose dreadful doom Was buried in thy guiltless tomb; By these my pangs, whose healing smart, Thy grace hath planted in my heart— I know, I feel thy bounteous will, Thou lov’st me, Lord, thou lov’st me still!
