My God, I Love Thee

Author: Francis Xavier, 16th cent.; Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 214 hymnals First Line: My God, I love Thee, not because Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because I hope for heav'n thereby, nor yet for fear that loving not I might forever die; but for that Thou didst all mankind upon the cross embrace; for us didst bear the nails and spear, and manifold disgrace; 2 And griefs and torments numberless, and sweat of agony; e'en death itself, and all for man, who was Thine enemy. Then why, most loving Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the sake of winning heav'n, nor any fear of hell; 3 Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, but as Thyself hast loved me, O ever loving Lord! E'en so I love Thee, and will love, and in Thy praise will sing, solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King! Topics: Salvation Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Come, Let Us Use the Grace Divine

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 156 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, let us use the grace divine, and all with one accord, in a perpetual covenant join ourselves to Christ the Lord; Give up ourselves, thru Jesus' power, his name to glorify; and promise, in this sacred hour, for God to live and die. 2. The covenant we this moment make be ever kept in mind; we will no more our God forsake, or cast these words behind. We never will throw off the fear of God who hears our vow; and if thou art well pleased to hear, come down and meet us now. 3. Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, let all our hearts receive, present with thy celestial host the peaceful answer give; to each covenant the blood apply which takes our sins away, and register our names on high and keep us to that day!

Come to the Feast

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Come to the Feast, for Christ invites Lyrics: 1 Come to the Feast, for Christ invites and promises to feed, 'tis here His closest love unites the members to their Head. 'Tis here He nourishes His own with Living Bread from heav'n, and makes Himself to mourners known, and shows their sins forgiv'n. 2 Still in His instituted ways He bids us ask the pow'r the pard'ning or the hall'wing grace and wait th'appointed hour. 'Tis not for us to set our God a time His grace to give, the benefit whene'er bestowed we gladly should receive. 3 Who seek redemption through His love, His love shall them redeem; He cam self-emptied from above that we might live through Him. Expect we then the quick'ning word who at His altar bow; but if it be Thy pleasure, Lord O let us find Thee now.

In Heav’n forever stands Thy throne, Thy kingdom hath no end: Oh now to all men, far and near, Lord, make it known, we pray, That as in Heav’n all creatures here May know Thee and obey. 2. The Eastern sages gladly bring Their tribute-gifts to Thee; They witness that Thou art their King, And humbly bow the knee; To Thee the morning star doth lead, To Thee th’inspirèd Word, We hail Thee, Savior in our need, We worship Thee, the Lord. 3. Ah look on me with pitying grace, Though weak and poor I be, Within Thy kingdom grant a place Secure and blest to me. Oh rescue me from all my woes, And shield me with Thine arm From sin and death, the mighty foes That daily seek our harm. 4. And bid Thy Word, the fairest Star, Within us clearly shine; Keep sin and all false doctrine far, Since Thou hast claimed us Thine: Let us Thy name aright confess, And with Thy Christendom, Our King and Savior own and bless Through all the world to come.
