The Son Forsook the Father's Home

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. The Son forsook the Father’s home For mercy to lost man, And did not scorn the virgin’s womb To bear the sinner’s ban. 2. Meekly the maiden pure believed The great archangel’s word, And by the Holy Ghost conceived The Savior Christ the Lord. 3. The Word made flesh creation sees, Its mighty God in man: Great mystery of mysteries Since ever time began! 4. That we might gain a second birth The Holy Son was giv’n: ’Twas God Himself came down to earth To win us back to Heav’n. 5. Lord! we believe with love and praise This wondrous truth of Thee: Thereby in all our troublous days How strong henceforth are we! 6. So near art Thou, so strong are we, For now, if we are Thine, Our brother in humanity, Thou makest us divine! 7. We see with peace in times of fear Serene Thy human form Thy human voice with joy we hear, Sweet-toned above the storm. 8. So dread we not the deathly strife, Knowing that Thou hast died: It can but bear us into life, Since nearer to Thy side!

The Wonders of Redeeming Love

Author: Roswell F. Cottrell, 1814-1892 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. The wonders of redeeming love Our highest thoughts exceed; The Son of God comes from above For sinful man to bleed. 2. He gives Himself, His life, His all, A sinless sacrifice, For man He drains the cup of gall, For man the Victim dies. 3. And now before His Father’s face His precious blood He pleads; For those who seek the throne of grace, His love still intercedes. 4. He knows the frailties of our frame, For He has borne our grief; Our great high priest once felt the same, And He can send relief. 5. His love will not be satisfied, Till He in glory sees The faithful ones for whom He died From sin forever free.

While Sinners Utter Boasting Words

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 While sinners utter boasting words, And glory in their shame; The Lord, well pleased, an ear affords To those who fear His name. 2 They often meet to seek His face, And what they do or say, Is noted in His book of grace, Against another day. 3 For they, by faith, a day descry, A joyfully expect, When He, descending from the sky, His jewels will collect. 4 Unnoticed now, because unknown, A poor and suffering few; He comes to claim them for His own, And bring them forth to view. 5 With transport then, their Savior’s care And favor they shall prove; As tender parents guard and spare The children of their love. 6 Assembled worlds will then discern The saints alone are blest; When wrath shall like an oven burn, And vengeance strike the rest.

No Time

Author: Richard W. Adams Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: With God’s Shekinah glory filled Lyrics: 1 With God’s Shekinah glory filled, Heav’n needs no sun or moon; As dawn and sunset merge to shine In bright, unending noon. 2 No spinning spheres the seasons mark, No ebb of moon-pulled tide, No precious moment to be lost, No time to kill or bide. 3 No evening when the flowers close, At looming end of day; No rush to finish work undone, No light that will not stay. 4 No midnight watchman in the street, Or guard upon the wall, The gates of pearl need never shut, No foe can there appall. 5 No rooster greets the coming sun, No haste to rise and toil; No need to wake, for none have slept: No dreaded daily moil. 6 No fleeting years, or misspent hours, No soon, or late, or speed; No yesterday, tomorrow, nor A tyrant clock to heed. 7 No ghosts of past or future there, In all that light kissed land; But endless joy and peace abound, Blessed by the great I AM. 8 No sick beds, cemeteries there, No hearts with grief o’ercome; No tombstones marching row by row To death’s low sounding drum. 9 Time’s darkly flowing river now Is banished from on high; Before us yearless streams of life: We have no time to die.

My Savior, How Thy Soul Was Awed

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 My Savior, how Thy soul was awed, When, hanging on the tree, Thou criedst aloud, "My God, my God," Hast Thou forsaken Me? 2 When angry foes around Thee strove, And faithless friends forsook; And earth below, and Heaven above, Wore one dark threatening look. 3 Beneath Thy cross, Lord, let me lie, Thy bleeding love to view; And weep, and watch, and pray that I May ne’er those wounds renew. 4 Beneath Thy cross O let me lie, And mark what Thou hast won, And hear Thy last triumphant cry, "’Tis done! The work is done!" 5 Lord, let my soul that triumph share; I look to Thee to save. Where is thy sting, O death? and where Thy victory, O grave?
