Thy Life Was Given for Me
Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 6.6.6 D Appears in 155 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 Lyrics: 1 Thy life was giv'n for me,
thy blood, O Lord, was shed,
that I might ransomed be,
and quickened from the dead;
thy life was giv'n for me;
what have I giv'n for thee?
2 Long years were spent for me
in weariness and woe,
that through eternity
thy glory I might know:
long years were spent for me;
have I spent one for thee?
3 Thou, Lord, hast borne for me
more than my tongue can tell
of bitt'rest agony,
to rescue me from hell;
thou suff'redst all for me;
what have I borne for thee?
4 And thou hast brought to me
down from thy home above
salvation full and free,
thy pardon and thy love;
great gifts thou broughtest me;
what have I brought to thee?
5 O let my life be giv'n
my years for thee be spent;
world-fetters all be riv'n
and joy with suff'ring blent:
thou gav'st thyself for me,
I give myself to thee.

Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here
Author: Brian Wren (1936-) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong;
half-free, half-bound by inner chains;
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined;
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own
not through some merit, right, or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Topics: Call and Vocation; Holy Week (Maundy Thursday); Sunday Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG
Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here
