The Love of God

Author: Frederick M. Lehman; Meir ben Isaac Nehoral Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #286 (1980) Scripture: Genesis 3:8-9 First Line: The love of God is greater by far Refrain First Line: Oh love of god, how rich and pure! Lyrics: 1 The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star, And reaches to the lowest hell; The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win; His erring child He reconciled, And pardoned from his sin. Chorus: Oh love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure, The saints’ and angels’ song. 2 When hoary time shall pass away, And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall; When men who here refuse to pray, On rocks and hills and mountains call; God’s love, so sure, shall still endure, All measureless and strong; Redeeming grace to Adam’s race— The saints’ and angels’ song. (Chorus) 3 Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made, Were every stalk on earth a quill And every man a scribe by trade; To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, Tho' stretched from sky to sky. (Chorus) Topics: God Love and Mercy; God Love and Mercy Languages: English Tune Title: [The love of God is greater by far]

O Tod, wo ist dein Stachel nun

Author: Georg Weissel Hymnal: Evangelisches Gesangbuch (Bayern, Mitteldeutschland, Thüringen) #113 (2014) Scripture: Genesis 3:15 First Line: O Tod, wo ist dein Stachel nun? Lyrics: 1 O Tod, wo ist dein Stachel nun? Wo ist dein Sieg, o Hölle? Was kann uns jetzt der Teufel tun, wie grausam er sich stelle? Gott sei gedankt, der uns den Sieg so herrlich hat nach diesem Krieg durch Jesus Christ gegeben! 2 Wie sträubte sich die alte Schlang, da Christus mit ihr kämpfte! Mit List und Macht sie auf ihn drang, und dennoch er sie dämpfte. Ob sie ihn in die Ferse sticht, so sieget sie doch darum nicht, der Kopf ist ihr zertreten. 3 Lebendig Christus kommt herfür, die Feind nimmt er gefangen, zerbricht der Hölle Schloß und Tür, trägt weg den Raub mit Prangen. Nichts ist, das in dem Siegeslauf den starken Held kann halten auf, alls liegt da überwunden. 4 Des Herren Rechte, die behält den Sieg und ist erhöhet; des Herren Rechte mächtig fällt, was ihr entgegenstehet. Tod, Teufel, Höll und alle Feind durch Christi Sieg bezwungen seind, ihr Zorn ist kraftlos worden. 5 Es war getötet Jesus Christ, und sieh, er lebet wieder. Weil nun das Haupt erstanden ist, stehn wir auch auf, die Glieder. So jemand Christi Worten glaubt, im Tod und Grabe der nicht bleibt; er lebt, ob er gleich stirbet. 6 Wer täglich hier durch wahre Reu mit Christus auferstehet, ist dort vom andern Tode frei, derselb ihn nicht angehet. Genommen ist dem Tod die Macht, Unschuld und Leben wiederbracht und unvergänglich Wesen. 7 Das ist die reiche Osterbeut, der wir teilhaftig werden: Fried, Freude, Heil, Gerechtigkeit im Himmel und auf Erden. Hier sind wir still und warten fort, bis unser Leib wird ähnlich dort Christi verklärtem Leibe. 8 O Tod, wo ist dein Stachel nun? Wo ist dein Sieg, o Hölle? Was kann uns jetzt der Teufel tun wie grausam er sich stelle? Gott sei gedankt, der uns den Sieg so herrlich hat in diesem Krieg durch Jesus Christ gegeben!

By Faith in Christ

Author: Unknown Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #370 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 3:8 First Line: By faith in Christ, I walk with God Lyrics: 1 By faith in Christ I walk with God, With heaven, my journey's end, in view; Supported by His staff and rod, My road is safe and pleasant, too. 2 Though snares and dangers throng my path, And earth and hell my course withstand, I triumph over all by faith, Guarded by His almighty hand. 3 The wilderness affords no food, But God for my support prepares, Provides me every needful good, And frees my soul from wants and cares. 4 With Him sweet converse I maintain; Great as He is, I dare be free; I tell Him all my grief and pain, And He reveals His love to me. 5 Some cordial from His word He brings, Where'er my feeble spirit faints; At once my soul revives and sings, And yields no more to sad complaints.

God, in the high and holy place

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #82 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 3:8 Lyrics: 1 GOD, in the high and holy place, Looks down upon the spheres; Yet in his providence and grace To every eye appears. 2 He bows the heavens! the mountains stand A highway for our God: He walks amid the desert land; 'Tis Eden where he trod. 3 In every stream his bounty flows, Diffusing joy and wealth; In every breeze his Spirit blows, The breath of life and health. 4 His blessings fall in plenteous showers Upon the lap of earth, That teems with foliage, fruits, and flowers, And rings with infant mirth. 5 If God hath made this world so fair, Where sin and death abound, How beautiful, beyond compare, Will paradise be found!
