Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 7.7.7.5 Appears in 210 hymnals Topics: Canticles and Scripture Paraphrases Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost, taught by you we covet most of your gifts at Pentecost, holy, heavenly love. 2 Faith that mountains could remove, tongues of earth or heaven above, knowledge, all things, empty prove without heavenly love. 3 Love is kind, and suffers long; love is meek, and thinks no wrong; love, much more than death, is strong; therefore, give us love. 4 Prophecy will fade away, melting in the light of day; love will ever with us stay; therefore, give us love. 5 Faith and hope and love we see joining hand in hand agree, but the greatest of the three, and the best, is love. Scripture: Acts 2:1-4 Used With Tune: CAPETOWN

Thou didst suffer to release us; Thou didst fee salvation bring. Hail, thou agonizing Savior, Bearer of our sin and shame! By thy merits we find favor; Life is given through thy name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, All our sins on thee were laid: By Almighty love anointed, Thou hast full atonement made: All thy people are forgiven Through the virtue of thy blood: Open'd is the gate of heaven: Peace is made 'twixt man and God. 3 Jesus, hail, enthron'd in glory, There for ever to abide! All the heavenly hosts adore thee, Seated at thy Father's side: There for sinners thou art pleading, There thou dost our place prepare; Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing, Thou art worthy to receive; Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give: Help, ye bright angelic spirits! Bring your sweetest, noblest lays; Help to sing our Savior's merits; Help to chant Immanuel's praise.

Gratitude to God for Redemption

Author: D. Turner Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Redemption First Line: Shall Jesus descend from the skies Lyrics: 1 Shall Jesus descend from the skies, To atone for our sins by his blood, And shall we such goodness despise, And rebels still be to our God? 2 [No brute could be ever so base! Shall man thus ungrateful then prove? Forbid it, O God of all grace; Forbid it, thou spirit of love! 3 The devils would laugh us to scorn, For folly so shameful as this; O let us to God then return, Sure never was goodness like his.] 4 He sav'd us, or we had been lost, Nor comfort nor hope had e'er known; Yet he knew this salvation would cost No less than the blood of his son. 5 Thro' him we forgiveness shall find, And taste the sweet blessings of peace, If contrite and humbly resign'd, We trust in his promised grace, 6 This world then with all its gay joy, That its thousands has snar'd and undone, May tempt, but shall never destroy, Whom Jesus has mark'd for his own. 7 While here thro' the desert we stray, Our God shall be all our delight, Our pillar of cloud in the day, And also of fire in the night: 8 'Till, 'th' Jordan of death safely pass'd, We land on the heavenly shore, Where we the hid manna shall taste, Nor hunger nor thirst any more. 9 And there while his glories we see, And feast on the joys of his love, We chang'd to his likeness shall be, And then shall all gratitude prove. Scripture: Ephesians 1:7
