"The Debt of Love"
Appears in 213 hymnals First Line: Come, every pious heart Lyrics: 1 Come, every pious heart,
That loves the Saviour’s name,
Your noblest powers exert
To celebrate his fame;
Tell all above, and all below,
That debt of love to him you owe.
2 He left his starry crown,
And laid his robes aside,
On wings of love came down,
And wept, and bled, and died;
What he endured, oh, who can tell,
To save our souls from death and hell?
3 From the dark grave he rose,
The mansions of the dead,
And thence his mighty foes
In glorious triumph led;
Up through the sky the Conqueror rode,
And reigns on high, the Saviour God.
4 Jesus, we ne’er can pay
The debt we owe thy love;
Yet tell us how we may
Our gratitude approve;
Our hearts, our all to thee we give;
The gift, though small, thou wilt receive. Used With Tune: CROFT

Let earth and heaven combine
Author: C. Wesley Appears in 188 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let earth and heaven combine,
Angels and men agree,
To praise in songs divine
The incarnate Deity:
To adore the all-atoning Lamb,
And bless the sound of Jesus' Name.
2 Jesus! transporting sound!
The joy of earth and heaven;
No other help is found,
No other name is given,
By which we can salvation have;
But Jesus came the world to save.
3 For me and all mankind
The Lamb of God was slain:
My Lord His life resigned
For every soul of man:
Loving to all, He none passed by,
He would not have one sinner die.
4 O unexampled Love!
O all-redeeming grace!
How swiftly didst Thou move
To save a fallen race!
What shall I do to make it known,
What Thou for all mankind hast done?

How sure the Scriptures are!
Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How sure the Scriptures are!
God's vital, urgent word,
as true as steel, and far
more sharp than any sword:
So deep and fine,
at his control
they pierce where soul
and spirit join.
2 They test each human thought,
refining like a fire;
they measure what we ought
to do and to desire:
For God know all —
exposed it lies
before his eyes
to whom we call.
3 Let those who hear his voice
confronting them today,
reject the tempting choice
of doubting or delay:
For God speaks still —
his word is clear,
so let us hear
and do his will! Topics: God, Spirit Word of Truth, the Scriptures; Advent 2 The Word of God in the Old Testament; Epiphany 6, Revelation Parables; Pentecost 22 The Two Ways Scripture: Hebrews 4:12-13 Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136th

Great Father of mankind
Author: Doddridge Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great Father of mankind,
We bless that wondrous grace
Which could for Gentiles find
Within Thy courts a place.
How kind the care
Our God displays,
For us to raise
A house of prayer!
2 Though once estrangéd far,
We now approach the throne;
For Jesus brings us near,
And makes our cause His own:
Strangers no more,
To Thee we come,
And find our home,
And rest secure.
3 To Thee our souls we join,
And love Thy sacred Name;
No more our own, but Thine,
We triumph in Thy claim.
Our Father-King,
Thy covenant grace
Our souls embrace,
Thy titles sing.
4 May all the nations throng
To worship in Thy house;
And Thou attend the song,
And smile upon their vows;
Indulgent still,
Till earth conspire
To join the choir
On Zion's hill. Topics: Epiphany; Lent, Second Sunday Used With Tune: CROFT'S 148TH PSALM
