I Greet My Sure Redeemer
Author: Elizabeth L. Smith Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: Titus 2:13-14 First Line: I greet my sure Redeemer and my King Lyrics: 1 I greet my sure Redeemer and my King.
You are my trust; accept the love I bring.
What pain you suffered, Jesus, for my sake;
I pray you from our hearts all cares to take.
2 You are the King of mercy and of grace,
reigning omnipotent in every place;
so come, O King, and our whole being sway;
shine on us with the light of your pure day.
3 You are the life by which alone we live
and all our substance and our strength receive.
Sustain us by your faith and by your power,
and give us strength in every trying hour.
4 You have the true and perfect gentleness.
You have no harshness and no bitterness.
Lord, grant to us the grace in you we see
that we may live in perfect unity.
5 Our hope is founded on your holy Word.
Our faith is built on every promise, Lord.
Grant us your peace; make us so strong and pure
that we may conquerors be, all ills endure.

Why I turned away from sin?

Fully won my heart to Him.
Refrain:
This is why I love my Savior,
Why I love to follow Him;
For He died my soul to ransom,
And He washed me from my sin.
2 Do you ask me why I seek no pleasure
In the things I once did love?
’Tis because I’ve tasted life’s pure river,
Flowing from the throne above. [Refrain]
3 Would you bid me give to all a reason
Of the hope I now possess?
It is Christ in me the hope of glory,
And His perfect holiness. [Refrain]
4 Though all men may look on me with wonder,
At the change that’s taken place;
I will walk the downward road no longer,
Bless the Lord for saving grace.

Eternal God, Your Love's Tremendous Glory
Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Titus 2:11-14 Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, your love's tremendous glory
cascades through life in overflowing grace,
to tell creation's meaning in the story
of love evolving love from time and space.
2 Eternal Son of God, uniquely precious,
in you, deserted, scorned and crucified,
God's love has fathomed sin and death's deep darkness,
and flawed humanity is glorified.
3 Eternal Spirit, with us like a mother,
embracing us in love serene and pure:
you nurture strength to follow Christ our brother,
as full-grown children, confident and sure.
4 Love's trinity, self-perfect, self-sustaining;
love which commands, enables and obeys:
you give yourself, in boundless joy, creating
one vast increasing harmony of praise.
5 We ask you now, complete your image in us;
this love of yours, our source and guide and goal.
May love in us, seek love and serve love's purpose,
till we ascend with Christ and find love whole. Topics: Trinity; Baptism (general); Images of God Used With Tune: HIGHWOOD

Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne,
That theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
Whom Thou for evermore dost join in one.

Of tender charity and steadfast faith,
Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance,
With child-like trust that fears no pain nor death.

Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
And to life's day the glorious, unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and life.
Amen.
