The Freeness of the Gospel

Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCLXII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Gospel Represented by a feast First Line: How free and boundless is the grace Lyrics: 1 How free and boundless is the grace Of our redeeming God, Extending to the Greek and Jew, And men of every blood! 2 The mightiest king, and meanest slave, May his rich mercy taste; He bids the beggar and the prince, Unto the gospel feast. 3 None are excluded thence, but those Who do themselves exclude; Welcome the learned and polite, The ignorant and rude. 4 Come then ye men of every name, Of every rank and tongue; What you are willing to receive, Doth unto you belong.

How rich are thy provisions, Lord!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H69 (1789) Topics: Lord's Supper The Gospel Feast Lyrics: 1 How rich are thy provisions, Lord! Thy table furnish'd from above; The fruits of life o'erspread the board, The cup o'erflows with heav'nly love. 2 Thine ancient family, the Jews, Were first invited to the feast: We humbly take what they refuse, And Gentiles thy salvation taste. 3 We are the poor, the blind, the lame, And help was far, and death was nigh! But, at the gospel call we came, And ev'ry want receiv'd supply. 4 From the high way that leads to hell, From paths of darkness and despair, Lord, we are come with thee to dwell, Glad to enjoy thy presence here. 5 What shall we pay th' eternal Son, That left the heav'n of his abode, And to this wretched earth came down, To bring us wand'rers back to God! 6 It cast him death, to save our lives; To buy our souls, ti cast his won; And all the unknown joys he gives, Were bought with agonies unknwon. 7 Our everlasting love is due To him that ransom'd sinners lost; And pity'd rebels, when he knew The vast expense his love would cost. 8 To God the Father, God the son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be honour, praise, and glory giv'n By all on earth, and all in heav'n.

Behold the Rose of Sharon here

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXVIII (1766) Topics: Feast of Love Lyrics: 1 Behold the Rose of Sharon here, The Lillies which the Vallies bear; Behold the Tree of Life that gives Refreshing Fruit and healing Leaves. 2 Amongst the Thorns so Lilies shine; Amongst wild Gourds the noble Vine, So in mine Eyes my Saviour proves, Amidst a Thousand meaner Loves. 3 Beneath his cooling Shade I sat, To shield me from the burning Heat; Of heav'nly Fruit he spreads a Feast, To feed my Eyes, and please my Taste. [4 Kindly he brought me to the Place Where stands the Banquet of his Grace; He saw me faint, and o'er my Head The Banner of his Love he spread. 5 With living Bread, and gen'rous Wine, He cheers this sinking Heart of mine; And op'ning his own Heart to me, He shows his Thoughts how kind they be.] 6 O never let my Lord depart, Lie down, and rest upon my Heart; I charge my Sins not once to move, Nor stir, nor wake, nor grieve my Love.

Tomorrow Christ is coming

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Voices United #27 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Feast Lyrics: 1 Tomorrow Christ is coming as yesterday he came; a child is born this moment, we do not know its name. The world is full of darkness, again there is no room; the symbols of existence are stable, cross and tomb. 2 Tomorrow will be Christmas, the feast of love divine, but for the nameless millions the star will never shine. Still is the census taken with people on the move; new infants born in stables are crying out for love. 3 There will be no tomorrows for many a baby born; Good Friday falls on Christmas when life is sown as corn. But Jesus Christ is risen and comes again in bread to still our deepest hunger and raise us from the dead. 4 Our God becomes incarnate in every human birth. Created in God's image, we must make peace on earth. God will fulfil Love's purpose and this shall be the sign: e shall find Christ among us as woman, child, or man. Tune Title: LITTLE BADDOW

Will You Come and See the Light

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #96 (1996) Meter: 12.12.14.10 Topics: Feast First Line: Will you come and see the light from the stable door? Lyrics: 1 Will you come and see the light from the stable door? It is shining newly bright, though it shone before. It will be your guiding star, it will show you who you are. Will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 2 Will you step into the light that can free the slave? It will stand for what is right, it will heal and save. By the pyramids of greed there's a longing to be freed. Will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 3 Will you tell about the light in the prison cell? Though it's shackled out of sight, it is shining well. When the truth is cut and bruised, and the innocent abused, will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 4 Will you join the hope, alight in a young girl's eyes, of the mighty put to flight by a baby's cries? When the lowest and the least are the foremost at the feast, will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 5 Will you travel by the light of the babe new born? In the candle lit at night there's a gleam of dawn, and the darkness all about is too dim to put it out: will you hide, or decide to meet the light? Tune Title: KELVINGROVE
