How can it be Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain An int'rest in the Savior's blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain? For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! how can it be That Thou, my God, should die for me? Refrain: Amazing love! how can it be That Thou, my God, should die for me! 2 'Tis mystery all! Th'Immortal dies! Who can explore His strange design? In vain the firstborn seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine! 'Tis mercy all! let earth adore, Let angel minds inquire no more. [Refrain] 3 He left His Father's throne above, So free, so infinite His grace; Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam's helpless race; 'Tis mercy all, immense and free; For, O my God, it found out me. [Refrain] 4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay Fast bound in sin and nature's night; Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray, I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; My chains fell off, my heart was free; I rose, went forth and followed Thee. [Refrain] 5 No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him is mine! Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach th'eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ my own. [Refrain] Amen. Sing Joyfully, 1989

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson; Martin Madan Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,300 hymnals Topics: Worship; liturgical Opening Hymns Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing; tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above; praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, mount of God’s unchanging love! 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by thy help I’m come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! Let that grace now, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart; O take and seal it; seal it for thy courts above. Glory to God: the Presbyterian Hymnal (2003) Used With Tune: [Come, Thou fount of every blessing] (55776)

Great God, as seasons disappear

Author: Campbell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: The Seasons Lyrics: 1 Great God, as seasons disappear, And changes mark the rolling year, As time with rapid pinions flies, May every season make us wise. 2 Long has thy favor crowned our days, And summer shed again its rays; No deadly cloud our sky has vailed; No blasting winds our path assailed. 3 Our harvest months have o'er us rolled, And filled our fields with waving gold; Our tables spread, our garners stored! Where are our hearts to praise the Lord? 4 The solemn harvest comes apace, The closing day of life and grace: Time of decision, awful hour! Around it let no tempests lower! 5 Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine, Like stars in heaven to rise and shine; Then shall our happy souls above Reap the full harvest of thy love!

Your cross is lifted o'er us, we journey in its light; the crown awaits the conquest; lead on, O God of might. Psalter Hymnal, (Gray)
