One there is above all others

Author: John Newton, 1725 - 1807 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #456b (1958) Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend; His is love beyond a brother’s, Costly, free, and knows no end; They who once his kindness prove Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed their blood? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in him to God; This was boundless love indeed; Jesus is a friend in need. 3 When he lived on earth abasèd, 'Friend of sinners' was his Name; Now, above all glory raisèd, He rejoices in the same; Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love. We, alas, forget too often What a friend we have above; But when home our souls are brought We will love thee as we ought.

Open Now Thy Gates Of Beauty

Author: B. Schmolck Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #21 (1927) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Open now thy gates of beauty, Zion, let me enter there, Where my soul, in joyful duty, Waits for Him who answers pray'r; O how blessed is this place, Filled with solace, light, and grace. 2 Lord, my God, I come before Thee, Do not hide Thy face from me; Where we find Thee, and adore Thee There a heav'n on earth must be; To my heart, O enter Thou, Let it be Thy temple now. 3 Here Thy praise is gladly chanted, Here Thy seed is duly sown: Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone, So that all I hear may be Fruitful unto life in me. 4 Thou my faith increase and quicken, Let me keep Thy gift divine; Howsoe'er temptations thicken, May Thy word forever shine As my guiding star through life, As my comfort in the strife. 5 Speak, O God, and I will hear Thee; Let Thy will be done indeed; May I undisturbed draw near Thee While Thou dost Thy people feed; Here the living waters flow, Here is balm for all our woe.
