Behold th' amazing gift of love

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #442 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold th' amazing gift of love The Father hath bestowed On us, the sinful sons of men, To call us sons of God! 2 Concealed as yet this honor lies, By this dark world unknown, A world that knew not when he came, E'en God's eternal Son. 3 High is the rank we now possess; But higher we shall rise; Though what we shall hereafter be Is hid from mortal eyes: 4 Our souls, we know, when God appears, Shall bear his image bright; For then his glory, as he is, Shall open to our sight.

Behold the Amazing Gift of Love

Author: Isaac Watts; William Cameron Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #443 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Behold th'amazing gift of love Lyrics: 1. Behold th’amazing gift of love The Father hath bestowed On us, the sinful sons of men, To call us sons of God! 2. Concealed as yet this honor lies, By this dark world unknown, A world that knew not when He came, Even God’s eternal Son. 3. High is the rank we now possess; But higher we shall rise; Though what we shall hereafter be Is hid from mortal eyes. 4. Our souls, we know, when He appears, Shall bear His image bright; For all His glory, full disclosed, Shall open to our sight. 5. A hope so great, and so divine, May trials well endure; And purge the soul from sense and sin, As Christ Himself is pure. 6. This hymn has been much altered over the years. Here is Watts’ original version: 7. Behold what wondrous grace The Father hath bestow’d On sinners of a mortal race To call them Sons of God! 8. ’Tis no surprising thing, That we should be unknown; The Jewish world knew not their King, God’s everlasting Son. 9. Nor doth it yet appear How great we must be made; But when we see our Saviour here, We shall be like our Head. 10. A hope so much divine May trials well endure, May purge our souls from sense and sin As Christ the Lord is pure. 11. If in my Father’s love I share a filial part, Send down Thy Spirit like a dove, To rest upon my heart. 12. We would no longer lie Like slaves beneath the throne; My faith shall Abba, Father, cry, And Thou the kindred own. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. STEPHEN

I come with joy, a child of God

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #448b (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I come with joy, a child of God, forgiven, loved and free, the life of Jesus to recall, in love laid down for me. 2 I come with Christians far and near to find, as all are fed, the new community of love in Christ's communion bread. 3 As Christ breaks bread, and bids us share, each proud division ends. The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends. 4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, unseen, but ever near, is in such friendship better known, alive among us here. 5 Together met, together bound by all that God has done, we'll go with joy, to give the world the love that makes us one.
