Loved with Everlasting Love

Author: George W. Robinson; Edmund P. Clowney Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 101 hymnals Topics: Christ Cross of Lyrics: 1 Loved with everlasting love, drawn by grace that love to know, Spirit went from Christ above, thou dost witness it is so. O this full and precious peace from his presence all divine; in a love that cannot cease, I am his and he is mine; in a love that cannot cease, I am his and he is mine. 2 Heav'n above is deeper blue, earth around is sweeter green, that which glows in every hue Christ-less eyes have never seen. Birds in song his glories show, flow'rs with richer beauties shine since I know, as now I know, I am his and he is mine; since I know, as now I know, I am his and he is mine. 3 Taste the goodness of the Lord: welcomed home to his embrace, all his love as blood out-poured seals the pardon of his grace. Can I doubt his love for me, when I trace that love's design? By the cross of Calvary I am his and he is mine. By the cross of Calvary I am his and he is mine. 4 His forever, only his - who the Lord and me shall part? Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart. Heav'n and earth may fade and flee, first-born light in gloom decline, but while God and I shall be, I am his and he is mine; but while God and I shall be, I am his and he is mine. Scripture: Romans 8:38-39 Used With Tune: EVERLASTING LOVE

I Saw the Cross of Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 60 hymnals Topics: Christ Cross of Lyrics: 1 I saw the cross of Jesus When burdened with my sin; I sought the cross of Jesus To give me peace within; I brought my soul to Jesus, He cleansed it in His blood; And in the cross of Jesus I found my peace with God. 2 I love the cross of Jesus, It tells me what I am-- A vile and guilty creature, Saved only through the Lamb; No righteousness nor merit, No beauty can I plead; Yet in the cross I glory, My title there I read. 3 I trust the cross of Jesus, In every trying hour, My sure and certain refuge, My never-failing tow'r, In every fear and conflict I more than conquerer am; Living I'm safe, or dying, Thro' Christ, the risen Lamb. 4 Safe in the cross of Jesus! There let my weary heart Still rest in peace unshaken Till with Him, ne'er to part; And then in strains of glory I'll sing His wondrous pow'r, Where sin can never enter, And death is known no more.

Alexander Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 751 hymnals Topics: Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded With thorns, Thine only crown; O sacred Head, what glory, What bliss till now was Thine!

How art Thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn! How does that visage languish, Which once was bright as morn! 3 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinners’ gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior, ’Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 4 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever; And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to Thee. Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: Translation from the German
