Son of God, Eternal Savior

Author: Somerset T. C. Lowry, 1855-1932 Hymnal: Christian Worship #729 (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: 1 John 3:16-18 Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Savior, source of life and truth and grace, Word made flesh, whose birth among us, hallows all our human race, you our head, who, throned in glory, for your own will ever plead: fill us with your love and pity, heal our wrongs and help our need. 2 Bind us all as one together in your Church’s sacred fold, weak and healthy, poor and wealthy, sad and joyful, young and old. Is there want or pain or sorrow? Make us all the burden share. Are there spirits crushed and broken? Teach us, Lord, to soothe their care. 3 As you, Lord, have lived for others, so may we for others live. Freely have your gifts been granted; freely may your servants give. Yours the gold and yours the silver, yours the wealth of land and sea; we but stewards of your bounty held in solemn trust will be. 4 Son of God, eternal Savior, source of life and truth and grace, Word made flesh, whose birth among us hallows all our human race, by your praying, by your willing that your people should be one, grant, O grant our hope’s fruition: here on earth your will be done.

With the sunshine of your goodness melt our thankless hearts of stone till our cold and selfish natures, warmed by you, at length believe that more happy and more blessed 'tis to give than to receive. 3 Wondrous honor you have given to our humblest charity in your own mysterious sentence, "You have done it all for me." Can it be, O gracious Master, that you need what we can do, saying by your poor and needy, "Give as I have giv'n to you"? 4 Lord of glory, you have bought us with your life-blood as the price, never grudging for the lost ones that tremendous sacrifice. Give us faith to trust you boldly, hope, to stay our souls on you; but, oh, best of all your graces, with your love our love renew. Topics: Society Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

See how he loved! exclaimed the Jews

Author: Bache Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #165 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: 1 John 3:16 Lyrics: 1 See how he loved! exclaimed the Jews, As tender tears from Jesus fell: My grateful heart the theme pursues, And on his love delights to dwell. 2 See how he loved! who traveled on, Teaching the doctrine from the skies; He bade disease and pain begone, And called the sleeping dead to rise. 3 See how he loved! who, firm yet mild, With patience bore the scoffing tongue; Though oft provoked, he ne'er reviled, Nor did his enemies a wrong. 4 See how he loved! who never shrank From toil or danger, pain or death; He all the cup of sorrow drank, And meekly yielded up his breath. 5 Such love shall we unmoved survey? Oh, may our breasts with ardor glow, To tread his steps, his laws obey, And thus the love of Jesus show! Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; The Love of Jesus

Oh, for a shout of joy

Author: Young Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #94 (1873) Scripture: 1 John 3:16 Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a shout of joy, Worthy the theme we sing! To this divine employ Our hearts and voices bring: Sound, sound through all the earth abroad, The love, the eternal love of God. 2 Unnumbered myriads stand, Of seraphs bright and fair, Or bow at thy right hand, And pay their homage there; But strive in vain with loudest chord, To sound thy wondrous love, O Lord. 3 Yet sinners saved by grace, In songs of lower key, In every age and place, Have sung the mystery-- Have told in strains of sweet accord Thy love, thy sovereign love, O Lord. 4 Though earth and hell assail, And doubts and fears arise, The weakest shall prevail, And grasp the heavenly prize, And through an endless age record Thy love, thy changeless love, O Lord.
