Love, the fount of light from heaven

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Love, the fount of light from heaven, Is the root and source of life; Therefore God’s decrees are given With His loving-kindness rife. As our Savior God declareth, And the Spirit witness beareth, As we in God’s peace do prove, God is light and God is love. 2 Love doth crown the life eternal, Love the brightness is of light, Therefore on His throne supernal Jesus sits in glory bright; He, the Light and Life of heaven, Who Himself for us hath given, Still abides and reigns above In His Father’s boundless love. 3 Love, alone the law fulfilling, Is the bond of perfectness, Love, who came a victim willing, Paid our debt and brought us peace; Therefore love and peace in union Ever grow in sweet communion, That through love we may abide One with Him who for us died.

The world in condemnation lay

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: The world in condemnation lay, And death, from Adam reigning, O'er man maintain'd remorseless sway, While sin his soul enchaining, Foredoom'd the second death to all That shared the ruins of the fall; But Christ's triumphant mission Redeem'd us from perdition. 63 Then round His manger let us throng, Attend Him in temptation, Carry our cross with joy along His path of tribulation; With Him to Olivet retire, On Calvary at His feet expire; Then, on Mount Zion seated, Our bliss shall be completed.

Conquering Prince and King of glory

Author: G. Tersteegen Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Conquering Prince and King of glory, Majesty sublimely bright! Heaven and all the heavens adore Thee, Throned above their farthest height. Shall I not, enraptured gazing, At Thy feet fall prostrate, praising, When mine eyes, by faith alight, Mark Thy glory and Thy might? 2 Far on high art Thou ascended, Sitting at Thy Father's right, Pure, seraphic voices blended, Crying, Glory! at the sight. Shall I not fall down before Thee, And with joyful heart adore Thee, When the heavens exultant ring With the triumph of my King? 3 Far and wide Thy brightness spreading Lights the land whose sun Thou art, Nobler bliss and glory shedding On each heavenly spirit's heart. There in highest glory seated, By rejoicing angels greeted; Here, though child of earth, I cry Hallelujah! Lord most high! 4 Of Thy cup shall I be fearful When Thy glory whelms my sight? Shall my courage not be cheerful When I recognize Thy might? Lord, I trust Thee, though Thou slay me; Now, not earth and hell dismay me. Thou my King, my Savior thou, At Thy name alone I bow. 5 Might and spirit now o'erflowing, With Thy power perform Thy word. All Thine enemies o'erthrowing, Make Thy foes Thy footstool, Lord. O'er the earth, O Judah's Lion, Send the scepter out of Zion, Spread Thy sway from sea to sea, Till the earth acknowledge Thee. 6 Throned on high, and all things filling, Thou art with us evermore. Now my soul, with rapture thrilling, Opens wide for Thee its door. Come, O come, Thou King of glory; 'Stablish Thy dominion 'er me; Live in me and reign alone, As upon Thy heavenly throne. 7 Thou ascended, gifts art giving; God and heaven are inly near. By Thee in the Spirit living, I shall stand before Thee there. Alien here to time and senses, Hid in Thee from their offenses; Set in heavenly place with Thee, Jesus, Thou art joy to me.

Mute Are The Pleading Lips Of Him

Author: E. W. Olson; J. O. Wallin Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Mute are the pleading lips of Him Who hath our cause defended; Love drained the cup filled to the brim, As holiness demanded. The gentle Shepherd here behold, Slain for the sheep lost to His fold: From labor, pain and weeping, Now rests He with the sleeping. 2 But not for aye, O Friend of men, Thou in the grave descendest; A little while, and then again Thy grieving flock Thou tendest. The corn that falls into the earth From darkness unto life springs forth, In season amply giving The life-bread to the living. 3 O Prince of Life, now to the gloom Of earth consigned in sorrow, My life so guide, that in my tomb I wait the blessed morrow. When, freed from worldly strife and care, This mortal frame reposes there, Grant that my deathless spirit The bliss of heav'n inherit. Topics: The Church Year Passion Used With Tune: PLEA

Vanish Doubt and Hesitation!

Author: Johann Adolph Schlegel; Samuel Magnus Hill Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Vanish doubt and hesitation! My Redeemer is the Lord. Hearken to His invitation By the Spirit and the Word. Clearly He perceives thy anguish; O my soul, why longer languish! Although I am weak and ill, God remains my Father still. 2 He will pity and relieve me, Who can then condemn my soul? Satan and the world deceive me, Jesus Christ will make me whole. Why, then, should my heart accuse me, Or my conscience still confuse me? God the Father makes me free, And His Spirit comforts me. 3 Jesus Christ for me has suffered, And by faith He is my own. Satisfaction He has offered, And the way to heaven shown. Through His full propitiation I have free and full salvation. He has conquered death and hell; He has thus made all things well. 4 In His merit now confiding, I look up to Him with joy; For His promise is abiding-- Who can now my peace destroy? Weal nor woe shall e'er deprive me Of the portion that He gave me. My Redeemer, Lord divine, I am Thine, forever Thine. Amen.

Gracious Lord, thou hast defended, Nurtured, watered, guarded, tended This so precious seed of Thine, Springing up in soil divine. 2 Lo, Thy field its fruits has yielded, Where Thy kingdom's seed was sown; gospel rain from drought has shielded, Pentecostal winds have blown; Where Thy Sun of Grace in splendor Shed its warming rays so tender, There Thy seed has taken root, There it blossomed into fruit. 3 Guard Thy gospel field, dear Master, Tares abound upon the soil. Save Thy harvest from disaster, Let no foe Thy seed despoil. When, upon Thy glad returning, Tares and chaff are doomed to burning, Then within Thy garner, Lord, May the precious wheat be stored.

Of my death the death also; Who hast given Thyself to ease us From our load of guilt and woe: By Thy death our ransom buying, And preserving us from dying, Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee, Blessed Jesus! ever be. 2 O what cruel provocations, Scourges of the tongue and rod, Spitting, shame, and accusations, Hast Thou borne, Thou Son of God! To redeem my soul from evil, And the bondage of the devil, Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee! Blessed Jesus! ever be. 3 Thou didst let Thyself be beaten, To deliver me from pain; Falsely charged, and sorely smitten, That Thy loss might be my gain. Thou hast suffered crucifixion For my comfort in affliction: Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee, Blessed Jesus! ever be. 4 For my proud and haughty spirit, Thy humiliation paid; For my death Thy death and merit Have a full atonement made: Thy reproaches and dishonor all have tended to my honor: Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee, Blessed Jesus! ever be. 5 From the heart, I thank Thee, Jesus, For the vast, stupendous load, Which Thou bearest to release us From the dreadful wrath of God: For Thy cruel death and passion, Agony and sore temptation, For Thy sharp and bitter pain, Thanks forever, Lord, Amen.

The Scene Around Me Disappears

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The scene around me disappears, And, borne to ancient regions, While time recalls the flight of years, I see angelic legions Descending in an orb of light, Amidst the dark and silent night, I hear celestial voices. 2 Tidings, glad tidings, from above, To every age and nation; Tidings, glad tidings—God is love; To man He sends salvation; His Son beloved, His only Son, The work of mercy hath begun; Give to His name the glory. 3 Through David’s city I am led; Here all around are sleeping; A light directs to yon poor shed, Where lonely watch is keeping; I enter—ah! what glories shine! Is this Immanuel’s earthly shrine? Messiah’s infant temple? 4 It is; it is—and I adore This Stranger meek and lowly, As saints and seraphs bow before The throne of God thrice holy; Faith through the veil of flesh can see The face of Thy divinity, My Lord, my God, my Savior!
