What Wondrous Love Is This
Author: Claude Rozier Meter: 12.9.12.9 Appears in 252 hymnals Topics: Comfort/Consolation First Line: What wondrous love is this, O my soul (Ô merveilleux amour pour ma vie) Lyrics: 1 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul,
what wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul.
2 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul,
what wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, that caused the Lord of life
to lay aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,
to lay aside his crown for my soul.
3 To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing,
to God and to the Lamb, I will sing:
to God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM,
while millions join the theme I will sing, I will sing;
while millions join the theme I will sing.
4 And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on;
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be,
and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And through eternity I’ll sing on. Used With Tune: WONDROUS LOVE Text Sources: American folk hymn, ca. 1811

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 2,203 hymnals Topics: Comfort/Consolation Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee,
thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine.
Now hear me while I pray;
take all my guilt away.
O let me from this day
be wholly thine.
2 While life's dark maze I tread,
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide,
bid darkness turn to day;
wipe sorrow's tears away;
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.
3 May thy rich grace impart
strength to my fainting heart,
my zeal inspire.
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
pure, warm, and changeless be,
a living fire. Used With Tune: OLIVET

all who by faith before the world confessed,

We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
yet all are one within your great design.

soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;
sweet is the calm of paradise the blest.

as God to glory calls them all away.

through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,

It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 869 hymnals Topics: Comfort/Consolation Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth,
to touch their harps of gold,
"Peace on the earth, good will to all,
from heaven's all-gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
to hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come
with peaceful wings unfurled;
and still their heavenly music floats
o'er all the weary world;
above its sad and lowly plains
they bend on hovering wing,
and ever o'er its Babel sounds
the blessed angels sing.
3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long;
beneath the angel strain have rolled
two thousand years of wrong;
and warring humankind hears not
the love song which they bring.
O hush the noise and cease your strife,
and hear the angels sing.
4 For, lo! the days are hastening on,
by prophets seen of old,
when with the ever-circling years
shall come the time foretold,
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendours fling,
and the whole world send back the song
which now the angels sing. Used With Tune: CAROL

angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love. [Refrain]

watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with God's goodness, lost in Christ's love. [Refrain] Used With Tune: ASSURANCE

3 We taste your ever-living bread,
and long to feast upon you still;
we drink of you, the fountainhead,
our thirsting souls from you we fill.

make all our moments calm and bright;
chase the bleak night of sin away;
shed o'er the world your holy light. Used With Tune: MARYTON Text Sources: 12th century

Take up your cross, the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 297 hymnals Topics: Comfort/Consolation Lyrics: 1 Take up your cross, the Saviour said,
if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross with willing heart
and humbly follow after me.
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak spirit with alarm;
Christ's strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, heed not the shame,
nor let your foolish pride rebel;
your Saviour once accepted death
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, and follow Christ,
think not till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Used With Tune: HESPERUS (QUEBEC)

All the Way My Saviour Leads Me
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 317 hymnals Topics: Comfort/Consolation Lyrics: 1 All the way my Saviour leads me;
what have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt his tender mercy
who through life has been my guide?
Heavenly peace, divinest comfort,
here by faith in him to dwell,
for I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
2 All the way my Saviour leads me,
cheers each winding path I tread,
gives me grace for every trial,
feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
and my soul athirst may be,
gushing from the Rock before me,
lo, a spring of joy I see!
3 All the way my Saviour leads me;
O the fullness of his love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
in my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
wings its flight to realms of day,
this my song through endless ages,
"Jesus led me all the way." Used With Tune: ALL THE WAY
All the Way My Saviour Leads Me
Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Bianco da Siena; Richard Frederick Littledale Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 109 hymnals Topics: Comfort/Consolation Lyrics: 1 Come down, O love divine,
seek now this soul of mine,
and visit it with your own ardour glowing.
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let your glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, my onward path illuming.
3 And so the yearning strong
with which the soul will long
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till Love create the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes its dwelling. Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY
Come Down, O Love Divine
