Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Glory to God #440 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Scripture: Matthew 23:37 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past. Safe into the haven guide. O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; hangs my helpless soul on thee. Leave, ah! leave me not alone; still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed; all my help from thee I bring. Cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name; I am all unrighteousness. False and full of sin I am; thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin. Let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art; freely let me take of thee. Spring thou up within my heart. Rise to all eternity.

There’s a wideness in God’s mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814-63 Hymnal: Together in Song #136 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Scripture: Matthew 23:4 Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea, and forgiveness in his justice sealed for us on Calvary. 2 There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 3 For the love of God is broader than the measures of our mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. 4 But we make his love too narrow by false limits of our own, and we magnify his strictness with a zeal he would not own. 5 If our love were but more simple we should take him at his word; and our lives would be illumined by the goodness of our Lord.
