It is a thing most wonderful

Author: William Walsham How (1823-1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: John 3:16 Lyrics: 1 It is a thing most wonderful, almost too wonderful to be, that God's own Son should come from heaven, and die to save a child like me. 2 And yet I know that it is true: he chose a poor and humble lot, and wept and toiled and mourned and died for love of those who loved him not. 3 I cannot tell how he could love a child so weak and full of sin; his love must be most wonderful, if he could die my love to win. 4 I sometimes think about the cross, and shut my eyes, and try to see the cruel nails and crown of thorns, and Jesus crucified for me. 5 But even could I see him die, I could but see a little part of that great love which, like a fire, is always burning in his heart. 6 It is most wonderful to know his love for me so free and sure; but 'tis more wonderful to see my love for him so faint and poor. 7 And yet I want to love thee, Lord; O light the flame within my heart, and I will love thee more and more, until I see thee as thou art.

Gift of God

Author: Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: John 3:16 First Line: Jesus my love, my chief delight Lyrics: 1 Jesus my love, my chief delight, For thee I long, for thee I pray; Amid the shadows of the night, Amid the business of the day. 2 When shall I see thy smiling face, That face which often I have seen; Arise, thou sun of righteousness, Scatter the clouds that intervene. 3 Thou art the glorious gift of God, To sinners weary, and distrest: The first of all his gifts bestow'd, And certain pledge of all the rest. 4 Could I but say, this gift is mine, I'd tread the world beneath my feet; No more at poverty repine, Nor envy the rich sinner's state. 5 The precious jewel I would keep, And lodge it deep within my heart; At home, abroad, awake asleep, It never should from thence depart!
