Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,863 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven, to earth come down; fix in us thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art; visit us with thy salvation, enter every trembling heart. 2 Come, Almighty to deliver, let us all thy life receive; suddenly return, and never, nevermore thy temples leave. Thee we would always blessing, serve thee with thy hosts above, pray and praise thee without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love. 3 Finish, then, thy new creation; pure and spotless let us be; let us see thy great salvation perfectly restored in thee: changed from glory into glory, till in heaven we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now; Alleluia! he is near us; faith believes, nor questions how. Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise: "I am with you evermore"? 3 Alleluia! Bread of heaven, here on earth our food, our stay; Alleluia! here the sinful flee to you from day to day. Intercessor, friend of sinners, earth's redeemer, hear our plea where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea. 4 Alleluia! King eternal, Lord omnipotent we own: Alleluia! born of Mary, earth your footstool, heav'n your throne. As within the veil you entered, robed in flesh, our great high priest, here on earth both priest and victim in the eucharistic feast. 5 Alleluia! Sing to Jesus; his the scepter, his the throne; Alleluia! his the triumph, his the victory alone. Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood; "Jesus out of ev'ry nation has redeemed us by his blood." Topics: Easter; Ascension; Easter Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

Lord of Glory, You Have Bought Us

Author: Eliza S. Alderson, 1818-1889, alt. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory, you have bought us with your life-blood as the price, never grudging for the lost ones that tremendous sacrifice; and with that hast freely given blessings countless as the sand to the unthankful and the evil with your own unsparing hand. 2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to give you gladly, freely, of your own. With the sunshine of your goodness melt our thankless hearts of stone till our cold and selfish natures, warmed by you, at length believe that more happy and more blessed 'tis to give than to receive. 3 Wondrous honor you have given to our humblest charity in your own mysterious sentence, "You have done it all to me." Naked, sick, in prison, hungry -- in the least, your face we view, saying by your poor and needy, "Give as I have giv'n to you." 4 Lord of glory, you have bought us with your life-blood as the price, never grudging for the lost ones that tremendous sacrifice. Give us faith to trust you boldly, hope, to stay our souls on you: but, oh, best of all your graces, with your love our love renew.

Jesus, I My Cross have Taken

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,304 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee. Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my All shalt be. Perish ev'ry fond ambition, All I've sought or hoped or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heav'n are still mine own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Savior, too. Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue. And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate and friends may shun me; Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come, disaster, scorn, and pain! In Thy service, pain is pleasure; With Thy favor, loss is gain. I have called Thee Abba, Father! I have stayed my heart on Thee. Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me. 4 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest. Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me While Thy love is left to me, Oh, 'twere not in joy to charm me Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 5 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Savior died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close the earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen.

Christ has triumphed, and we conquer by His mighty enterprise: We with Him to life eternal by His resurrection rise. 3 Christ is risen, Christ, the first fruits of the holy harvest field, Which will all its full abundance at His second coming yield: Then the golden ears of harvest will their heads before Him wave, Ripened by His glorious sunshine from the furrows of the grave. 4 Christ is risen, we are risen! Shed upon us heavenly grace, Rain and dew and gleams of glory from the brightness of Thy face; That we, with our hearts in Heaven, here on earth may fruitful be, And by angel hands be gathered, and be ever, Lord, with Thee. 5 Alleluia, alleluia! Glory be to God on high; Alleluia! to the Savior who has gained the victory; Alleluia! to the Spirit, fount of love and sanctity: Alleluia, alleluia! to the Triune Majesty. Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL
