Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love!
Author: Mrs. M. M. Stockton, 1821-1885 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #303 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism First Line: God loved the world of sinners lost Lyrics: 1 God loved the world of sinners lost
And ruined by the Fall;
Salvation full, at highest cost,
He offers free to all.
Refrain:
Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love!
The love of God to me!
It brought my Saviour from above,
To die on Calvary.
2 E'en now by faith I claim Him mine,
The risen Son of God,
Redemption by His death I find,
And cleansing through the blood. [Refrain]
3 Love brings the glorious fulness in,
And to His saints makes known
The blessed rest from inbred sin,
Through faith in Christ alone. [Refrain]
4 Believing souls, rejoicing go;
There shall to you be given
A glorious foretaste, here below,
Of endless life in heaven. [Refrain]
5 Of victory now o'er Satan's power
Let all the ransomed sing,
And triumph in the dying hour,
Through Christ, the Lord, our King. [Refrain]
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WONDROUS LOVE
Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love!
Onward, Christian soldiers
Author: Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: The Hymnal #365 (1950) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before:
Christ the royal Master
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See, His banners go.
Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
2 Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided,
All one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity. [Refrain]
3 Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane,
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain;
Gates of hell can never
'Gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ's own promise,
And that cannot fail. [Refrain]
4 Onward, then, ye people,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor
Unto Christ the King;
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing. [Refrain]
Amen. Tune Title: ST. GERTRUDE
Onward, Christian soldiers
Creation's Lord, we give Thee thanks
Author: William deWitt Hyde, 1858- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #366 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 Creation's Lord, we give Thee thanks
That this Thy world is incomplete;
That battle calls our marshalled ranks,
That work awaits our hands and feet;
2 That Thou hast not yet finished man,
That we are in the making still
As friends who share the Maker's plan,
As sons who know the Father's will.
3 Beyond the present sin and shame,
Wrong's bitter, cruel, scorching blight,
We see the beckoning vision flame,
The blessed Kingdom of the Right.
4 What though the Kingdom long delay,
And still with haughty foes must cope?
It gives us that for which to pray,
A field for toil and faith and hope.
5 Since what we choose is what we are,
And what we love we yet shall be,
The goal may ever shine afar,
The will to win it makes us free. Languages: English Tune Title: SAMSON
Creation's Lord, we give Thee thanks
New every morning is the love
Author: J. Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #199 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Morning Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love
Our wakening and uprising prove;
Through sleep and darkness safely brought,
Restored to life, and power, and thought.
2 New mercies each returning day
Hover around us while we pray;
New perils past, new sins forgiven,
New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3 If on our daily course our mind
Be set to hallow all we find,
New treasures still of countless price
God will provide for sacrifice.
4 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be,
As more of heaven in each we see;
Some softening gleam of love and prayer
Shall dawn on every cross and care.
5 The trivial round, the common task,
Will furnish all we ought to ask;
Room to deny ourselves; a road
To bring us, daily, nearer God.
6 Only, O Lord, in Thy great love
Fit us for perfect rest above;
And help us, this and every day,
To live more nearly as we pray. Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE

How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of Thy love,
Thy earthly temples, are!
To Thine abode my heart aspires,
With warm desires to see my God.

Where God delights to hear!
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise Thee still, and happy they
Who love the way to Zion's hill!

Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each o'ercomes at length,
Till each in heaven appears;
O glorious seat! Thou God, our King,
Shalt thither bring our willing feet.

Our light and our defence;
With gifts His hands are filled,
We draw our blessings thence;
He shall bestow upon our race

His hand no good withholds
From those His heart approves,
From holy, humble souls;
Thrice happy he, O Lord of hosts,
Whose spirit trust alone in Thee! Languages: English Tune Title: CROFT'S 148th

Till morning cometh, watch, O Father, o'er us;
In soul and body Thou from harm defend us
Thine angels send us.
3 Let holy thoughts be ours when sleep o'ertakes us;
Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us;
All day serve Thee; in all that we are doing
Thy praise pursuing.

Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us;
But Thy dear Presence will not leave them lonely,
Who seek Thee only.
5 Father, Thy name be praised, Thy kingdom given,
Thy will be done on earth as 'tis in heaven;
Keep us in life, forgive our sins, deliver
Us now and ever Languages: English Tune Title: FLEMMING

Lord of the living harvest
Author: Dr. J. S. Monsell, 1811-1875 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #268 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances Lyrics: 1 Lord of the living harvest
That whitens o'er the plain,
Where angels soon shall gather
Their sheaves of golden grain;
Accept these hands to labour,
These hearts to trust and love,
And deign with them to hasten
Thy kingdom from above.
2 As labourers in Thy vineyard,
Lord send them out to be
Content to bear the burden
Of weary days for Thee;
To ask no other wages,
When Thou shalt call them home,
But to have shared the travail
Which makes Thy kingdom come.
3 O come, Thou Holy Spirit!
And fill their souls with light,
Clothe them in spotless raiment,
In linen clean and white;
Beside Thy sacred altar
Be with them where they stand,
To sanctify Thy people
Through all this happy land. Languages: English Tune Title: ENDSLEIGH

Jesus, immortal King, arise
Author: A. C. H. Seymour, 1789-1870 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #272a (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 Jesus, immortal King, arise;
Assert Thy rightful away,
Till earth, subdued, its tribute brings,
And distant lands obey.
2 Ride forth, victorious Conqueror, ride,
Till all Thy foes submit,
And all the powers of hell resign
Their trophies at Thy feet.
3 Send forth Thy word, and let it fly
The spacious earth around,
Till every soul beneath the sky
Shall hear the joyful sound.
4 O may the great Redeemer's name
Through very clime be known!
And heathen gods, forsaken, fall,
And Jesus reign alone.
5 From sea to sea, from shore to shore,
Be Thou, O Christ, adored!
And earth, with all her millions, shout,
Hosannas to the Lord.

Jesus, immortal King, arise
