And can it be that I should gain

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Appears in 286 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:7-14 Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Saviour's blood? Died he for me, who caused his pain-- for me, who him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me! 2 'Tis mystery all! The immortal dies: who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine. 'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds enquire no more. 3 He left his Father's throne above (so free, so infinite his grace!) emptied himself of all but love, and bled for Adam's helpless race. 'Tis mercy all, immense and free: for, O my God, it found out me. 4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature's night: thine eye diffused a quickening ray-- I woke; the dungeon flamed with light! My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee. 5 No condemnation now I dread: Jesus, and all in him, is mine! Alive in him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine, bold I approach the eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ, my own.

Lord, With Glowing Heart I'd Praise Thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 280 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:6-8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee for the bliss thy love bestows, for the pard'ning grace that saves me, and the peace that from it flows. Help, O God, my weak endeavor; this dull soul to rapture raise; thou must light the flame, or never can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, wretched wand'rer far astray; found thee lost, and kindly brought thee from the paths of death away. Praise, with love's devoutest feeling, him who saw thy guilt-born fear, and, the light of hope revealing, bade the blood-stained cross appear. 3 Praise thy Savior God that drew thee to that cross, new life to give, held a blood sealed pardon to thee, bade thee look to him and live. Praise the grace whose threats alarmed thee, roused thee from thy fatal ease; praise the grace whose promise warmed thee, praise the grace that whispered peace. 4 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling vainly would my lips express: low before thy footstool kneeling, deign thy suppliant's pray'r to bless. Let thy love, my soul's chief treasure, love's pure flame within me raise; and, since words can never measure, let my life show forth thy praise.

Children, from the sins that grieve you You are freed; All you need I will surely give you." 6 Come, then, banish all your sadness! One and all, Great and small, Come with songs of gladness.
