Father in whom we live

Author: Charles Wesley 1707-1788 Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: John 1:14 Lyrics: 1 Father in whom we live, in whom we are and move, the glory, power, and praise receive of thy creating love. Let all the angel throng give thanks to God on high, while earth repeats the joyful song, and echoes to the sky. 2 Incarnate Deity, let all the ransomed race render in thanks their lives to thee for thy redeeming grace. The grace to sinners showed ye heavenly choirs proclaim, and cry: 'Salvation to our God, salvation to the Lamb!' 3 Spirit of holiness, let all thy saints adore thy sacred energy, and bless thine heart-renewing power. Not angel tongues can tell thy love's ecstatic height, the glorious joy unspeakable, the beatific sight. 4 Eternal triune Lord! Let all the hosts above, let all the sons of men, record and dwell upon thy love. When heaven and earth are fled before thy glorious face, sing all the saints thy love hath made thine everlasting praise. Topics: Trinity Sunday Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Christians the Sons of God

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 84 hymnals Scripture: John 1:12 First Line: Not all the nobles of the earth Lyrics: 1 Not all the nobles of the earth, Who boast the honors of their birth, Such real dignity can claim, As those who bear the christian name. 2 To them the privilege is giv'n To be the sons and heirs of heav'n; Sons of the God who reigns on high, And heirs of joys beyond the sky. 3 [On them, a happy chosen race, Their father pours his riches grace: To them his counsels he imparts, And stamps his image on their hearts. 4 Their infant-cries, their tender age, His pity and his love engage: He clasps them in his arms, and there Secures them with parental care.] 5 His will he makes them early know, And teaches their young feet to go; Whispers instruction to their minds, And on their hearts his precepts binds. 6 When, thro' temptation they rebel, His chast'ning rode ne makes them feel Then, with a father's tender heart, He sooths the pain, and heals the smart. 7 Their daily wants his hands supply, Their steps he guards with watchful eye, Leads them from earth to heaven above, And crowns them with eternal love. 8 If I've the honor, Lord, to be One of this num'rous family, On me the gracious gift bestow, To call thee Abba, father! too. 9 So may my conduct ever prove My filial piety and love! Whilst all my brethren clearly trace Their father's likeness in my face. Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Adoption

[verse 5 is printed separately under 639b and 639c] 6 I bind unto myself the name, the strong Name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, and One in Three, of whom all nature hath creation, Eternal Father, Spirit, Word.

'Tis our God, our glorious Savior, who above the starry sky now for us a place preparing, where no tear can dim the eye. 3 Who is this? Behold him shedding drops of blood upon the ground! Who is this, despised, rejected, mocked, insulted, beaten, bound? 'Tis our God, who gifts and graces on his church is pouring down; who shall smite in holy vengeance all his foes beneath his throne. 4 Who is this that hangs there dying while the rude world scoffs and scorns, numbered with the malefactors, torn with nails, and crowned with thorns? 'Tis the God who lives forever 'mid the shining ones on high, in the glorious golden city, reigning everlastingly.
