My God, I love Thee; not because

Author: Francis Xavier, d. 1552; Edward Caswall Hymnal: Church Book #410 (1890) Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby; Nor because they, who love Thee not, Must burn eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus! Thou didst me Upon the Cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace; 3 And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony; E'en death itself--and all for one Who was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ! Should I not love Thee well? Not for the sake of winning heaven, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught; Not seeking a reward; But, as Thyself hast lovéd me, O ever loving Lord! 6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing; Solely because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.

The angel comes, he comes to reap

Author: Henry Hart Milman Hymnal: Church Book #567 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The angel comes, he comes to reap The harvest of the Lord! O'er all the earth, with fatal sweep, Wide waves his flaming sword. 2 And who are they, in sheaves to bide The fire of vengeance bound? The tares, whose rank luxuriant pride Choked the fair crop around. 3 And who are they, reserved in store God's treasure-house to fill? The wheat, a hundred fold that bore Amid surrounding ill. 4 O King of mercy! grant us power Thy fiery wrath to flee! In Thy destroying angel's hour, O gather us to Thee!

O Savior, May We Never Rest

Author: William H. Bathurst Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5333 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Savior, may we never rest Till Thou art formed within, Till Thou hast calmed our troubled breast, And crushed the power of sin. 2. O may we gaze upon Thy cross, Until the wondrous sight Makes earthly treasures seem but dross, And earthly sorrows light. 3. Until, released from carnal ties, Our spirit upward springs, And sees true peace above the skies, True joy in heavenly things. 4. There as we gaze, may we become United, Lord, to Thee, And, in a fairer, happier home, Thy perfect beauty see. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE
