O the Depth of Love Divine

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O the depth of love divine, the unfathomable grace! Who shall say how bread and wine God into us conveys! How the bread his flesh imparts, how the wine transmits his blood, fills his faithful people’s hearts with all the life of God! 2 Let the wisest mortals show how we the grace receive; feeble elements bestow a power not theirs to give. Who explains the wondrous way, how through these the virtue came? These the virtue did convey, yet still remain the same. 3 How can spirits heavenward rise, by earthly matter fed, drink herewith divine supplies and eat immortal bread? Ask the Father’s wisdom how: Christ who did the means ordain; angels round our altars bow to search it out, in vain. 4 Sure and real is the grace, the manner be unknown; only meet us in thy ways and perfect us in one. Let us taste the heavenly powers, Lord, we ask for nothing more. Thine to bless, ’tis only ours to wonder and adore. Topics: The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Eucharist (Holy Communion or The Lord's Supper); Christian Perfection; Holy Communion Scripture: John 6:35-58 Used With Tune: STOOKEY

When Descending from the Sky

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When descending from the sky The Bridegroom shall appear; And the solemn midnight cry, Shall call professors near: How the sound our hearts will damp! How will shame o’erspread each face! If we only have a lamp, Without the oil of grace. 2. Foolish virgins then will wake And seek for a supply; But in vain the pains they take To borrow or to buy: Then with those they now despise, Earnestly they’ll wish to share; But the best, among the wise, Will have no oil to spare. 3. Wise are they, and truly blest, Who then shall ready be But despair will seize the rest, And dreadful misery: Once, they’ll cry, we scorned to doubt, Though in lies our trust we put; Now our lamp of hope is out, The door of mercy shut. 4. If they then presume to plead, Lord open to us now; We on earth have heard and prayed, And with thy saints did bow: He will answer from his throne, Though you with My people mixed, Yet to Me you ne’er were known, Depart, your doom is fixed. 5. O that none who worship here May hear that word, Depart! Lord impress a godly fear On each professor’s heart: Help us, Lord, to search the camp, Let us not ourselves beguile; Trusting to a dying lamp Without a stock of oil.

How They Sing Up Yonder

Author: Harriet E. Jones Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: When the sinner turns from sin Lyrics: 1 When the sinner turns from sin, How they sing up yonder! Comes to Christ sweet peace to win, How they sing up yonder! Asks for cleansing in the blood, Sinks beneath the healing flood, Rises, cleansed and owned of God, How they sing up yonder! 2 When the wanderer seeks his home, How they sing up yonder! Just a servant to become, How they sing up yonder! Leaves the byways cold and bare, Seeks again a Father’s care, All His wealth of love to share, How they sing up yonder! 3 Brother, would you join the song, In the home up yonder? Sing while ages roll along, In the home up yonder! Then forsake the paths so cold, Fly to Jesus and His fold, That your name may be enrolled, In the home up yonder!
