"I love thee, Lord!"

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Though sorrows rise and dangers roll Lyrics: 1 Though sorrows rise and dangers roll, In waves of darkness o’er my soul; Though friends are false, and love decays, And few and evil are my days; Though conscience, fiercest of my foes, Swells with remembered guilt my woes; Yet ev’n in nature’s utmost ill, I love thee, Lord, I love thee still! 2 Though Sinai’s curse, in thunder dread, Peals o’er mine unprotected head, And memory points, with busy pain, To grace and mercy given in vain; Till nature, shrinking in the strife, Would fly to hell to ‘scape from life; Though every thought has power to kill, I love thee, Lord, I love thee still! 3 Oh, by the pangs thyself hast borne, The ruffian’s blow, the tyrant’s scorn, By Sinai’s curse, whose dreadful doom Was buried in thy guiltless tomb; By these my pangs, whose healing smart, Thy grace hath planted in my heart— I know, I feel thy bounteous will, Thou lov’st me, Lord, thou lov’st me still! Scripture: John 21:15 Used With Tune: KLEIN

Messenger of the covenant

Scripture: Malachi 3:1

Wesley Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Kinsman First Line: Jesus, we claim thee for our own Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we claim thee for our own, Our kinsman near allied in blood, Flesh or our flesh, bone of our bone, The son of man, the Son of God; And lo we lay us at thy feet, Our sentence from thy mouth to meet. 2 Partaker of my flesh below, To thee, O Jesus, I apply; Thou wilt thy poor relations know, Thou never canst thyself deny, Exclude me from thy guardian care, Or slight a sinful beggar's prayer. 3 Thee, Savior, at my greatest need, I trust my faithful friend to prove: Now o'er thy meanest servants spread The skirt of thy redeeming love; Under the wings of mercy take, And save me for thy merit's sake. 4 Hast thou not undertook my cause, Lord over all, to worms allied? Answer me from that bleeding cross, Demand thy dearly-ransom'd bride; And let my soul, betroth'd to thee. Thine wholly, thine for ever be! Scripture: Ruth 3:4

Tho' base men walk on ev'ry side, His saints are safe, whate'er betide, Protected by His Name. Scripture: Psalm 12 Used With Tune: BREMEN

And all the trees their anthem raise. 7 So let them shout before our God, For, lo, He comes, He comes with might, To wield the scepter and the rod, To judge the world with truth and right.
