Jesus, thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art; Visit us with thy salvation; enter every trembling heart. 2 Breathe, oh breathe thy loving Spirit into every troubled breast! Let us all in thee inherit, let us find the promised rest; take away our love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; end of faith as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, almighty to deliver, let us all thy grace receive; suddenly return and never, never more thy temples leave.

Died he for me, who caused his pain-- for me, who him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me! 2 'Tis mystery all! The immortal dies: who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine. 'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds enquire no more. 3 He left his Father's throne above (so free, so infinite his grace!) emptied himself of all but love, and bled for Adam's helpless race. 'Tis mercy all, immense and free: for, O my God, it found out me. 4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature's night: thine eye diffused a quickening ray-- I woke; the dungeon flamed with light! My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee. 5 No condemnation now I dread: Jesus, and all in him, is mine! Alive in him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine, bold I approach the eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:6-12 Used With Tune: SAGINA

Pause. 5 I love the volumes of thy word; What light and joy those leaves afford To souls benighted and distrest! Thy precepts guide my doubtful way, Thy fear forbids my feet to stray, Thy promise leads my heart to rest. 6 From the discoveries of thy law The perfect rules of life I draw: These are my study and delight; Not honey so invites the taste, Nor gold that hath the furnace past Appears so pleasing to the sight. 7 Thy threatenings wake my slumbering eyes, And warn me where my danger lies; But 'tis thy blessed gospel, Lord, That makes my guilty conscience clean, Converts my soul, subdues my sin, And gives a free, but large reward. 8 Who knows the errors of his thoughts? My God, forgive my secret faults, And from presumptuous sins restrain: Accept my poor attempts of praise, That I have read thy book of grace And book of nature not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 19
