I love Thee, my Savior, I love Thee, my God:
I love Thee, I love Thee, and that Thou dost know;
But how much I love Thee my actions will show.

My joys are immortal, I stand on the mount:
I gaze on my treasure and long to be there,
With Jesus and angels and kindred so dear.

My life and salvation, my joy and my rest:
Thy name be my theme, and Thy love be my song;
Thy grace shall inspire both my heart and my tongue.

He smiles and He loves me and helps me to sing:
I'll praise Him, I'll praise Him with notes loud and clear,
While rivers of pleasure my spirit shall cheer.

Atonement made
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 89 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 4:19 First Line: Now to the power of God supreme Lyrics: 1 Now to the power of God supreme
Be everlasting honors given;
He saves from hell,--we bless his name,--
He guides our wandering feet to heaven.
2 'Twas his own purpose that began
To rescue rebels doomed to die:
He gave us grace in Christ, his Son,
Before he spread the starry sky.
3 Jesus, the Lord, appears at last,
And makes his Father's counsels known;
Declares the great transactions past,
And brings immortal blessings down.
4 He dies; and in that dreadful night
Doth all the powers of hell destroy;
Rising, he brings our heaven to light,
And takes possession of the joy. Topics: Christ Resurrection of; Decrees Spiritual Used With Tune: ROTHWELL

break nature's bonds, and let me see,
he whom you free indeed is free.
3 Still will I wait, O Lord on you,
till in your light I see anew;
till you in my behalf appear,
to banish ev'ry doubt and fear.
4 Then e'en in storms I shall you know,
my sure support and refuge too;
in ev'ry trial I shall prove
assuredly that God is love.

while love, almighty love, is near. Topics: Fear; Glory of God; God's Love to Us; Holy Spirit; Name/s of God; Protection; Providence Used With Tune: FARMBOROUGH

Author: George Herbert, 1593-1633 Meter: 7.4.7.4 D Appears in 59 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 4:16-21 Lyrics: 1 King of glory, King of peace,
I will love thee;
and, that love may never cease,
I will move thee.
Thou hast granted my request,
thou hast heard me;
thou didst note my working breast,
thou hast spared me.
2 Wherefore with my utmost art
I will sing thee,
and the cream of all my heart
I will bring thee.
Though my sins against me cried,
thou didst clear me;
and alone, when they replied,
thou didst hear me.
3 Seven whole days, not one in seven,
I will praise thee;
in my heart, though not in heaven,
I can raise thee.
Small it is, in this poor sort
to enroll thee:
ev'n eternity's too short
to extol thee.

Thee will I love, my hope, my joy.
Thee will I love with all my power,
With ardor time shall ne'er destroy.

So long as life is mine.

Who art my best and truest friend.
Thee will I love and praise forever,
For never shall Thy kindness end.

Whose radiance hath brought light to me;
I thank Thee, who hast richly given
All that could make me glad and free;
I thank Thee that my soul is healed
By what Thy lips revealed.
4 O keep me watchful, then, and humble;
Permit me nevermore to stray.
Uphold me when my feet would stumble,
And keep me on the narrow way.
Fill all my nature with Thy light,
O Radiance strong and bright!
5 Thee will I love, my crown of gladness;
Thee will I love, my God and Lord,
Amid the darkest depths of sadness,
And not for hope of high reward,
For Thine own sake, O Light divine,
So long as life is mine.
