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!

Once we wandered far from God, Knowing not of Jesus, Treading still the downward road, Leading far from Jesus. Till the Spirit taught us how, ’Neath the Savior’s yoke to bow, And we fain would follow now, Jesus, only Jesus. 3. Be our trust thro’ years to come, Jesus, only Jesus. Password to the heav’nly home, Jesus, only Jesus; When from sin and sorrow free, On thro’ all eternity, This our theme and song shall be, Jesus, only Jesus. Used With Tune: LAS VEGAS

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.
