and say when the deathdew lies cold on my brow:

4 In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore thee in heaven so bright;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

and taught my opening mind,
the world would have enthralled me,
to heavenly glories blind.
My heart knows none above you;
for your rich grace I thirst.
I know that if I love you,
you must have loved me first.

but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.

he died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heaven,
saved by his precious blood.

to pay the price of sin;
he only could unlock the gate
of heaven, and let us in.

and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Good Friday Used With Tune: HORSLEY

Author: Daniel S. Warner Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 4:19 Lyrics: 1 I ought to love my Savior,
He loved me long ago;
Looked on my soul with favor,
When deep in guilt and woe.
And though my sin had grieved Him,
His Father’s law had crossed,
Love drew Him down from heaven,
To seek and save the lost.
2 I ought to love my Savior,
He bore my sin and shame;
From glory to the manger,
On wings of love He came.
He trod this earth in sorrow,
Endured the pains of hell;
That I should not be banished,
But in His glory dwell.
3 I ought to love my Savior,
Upon the cross He died;
Behold the world’s Creator,
“My God, my God,” He cried.
Oh, listen to those accents
Of love divine so free;
“ ’Tis finished!”—my salvation;
Thine shall the glory be.
4 I ought to love my Savior,
He pardoned all my sin;
Then sanctified my nature,
And keeps me pure within.
He fills me with His glory,
And bears my soul above;
This world, oh, wondrous story,
’Tis love, redeeming love.
5 O Christ, I can but love Thee,
What heart could e’er withhold;
A love that cost so dearly,
The off’ring of Thy soul?

Reign in my heart alone;
And flood this earthen temple,
With glory from Thy throne.

not what my toiling flesh has borne
can make my spirit whole.
Not what I feel or do
can give me peace with God;
not all my prayers and sighs and tears
can bear my awful load.
2 Your voice alone, O Lord,
can speak to me of grace;
your power alone, O Son of God,
can all my sin erase.
No other work but yours,
no other blood will do;
no strength but that which is divine
can bear me safely through.
3 I praise the Christ of God;
I rest on love divine;
and with unfaltering lip and heart
I call this Savior mine.
My Lord has saved my life
and freely pardon gives;
I love because he first loved me,
I live because he lives.

1 Müde bin ich, geh zur Ruh,
Schließe meine Äuglein zu:
Vater, laß die Augen dein
Über meinem Bette sein.
2 Hab ich Unrecht heut getan,
Sieh es, lieber Gott, nicht an.
Deine Gnad und Christi Blut
Macht ja allen Schaden gut.
3 Alle, die mir sind verwandt,
Gott, laß ruhn in deiner Hand;
Alle Menschen groß und klein
Sollen dir befohlen sein.
4 Kranken Herzen sende Ruh,
Nasse Augen schliefße zu.
Laß den Mond am Himmel stehn
Und die stille Walt besehn.

God Is Love, Let Heav'n Adore Him
Author: Timothy Rees, 1874-1939 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 4:7-21 Lyrics: 1 God is love, let heaven adore him;
God is love, let earth rejoice;
let creation sing before him
and exalt him with one voice.
God who laid the earth's foundation,
God who spread the heav'ns above,
God who breathes through all creation:
God is love, eternal love.
2 God is love; and love enfolds us,
all the world in one embrace;
with unfailing grasp God holds us,
ev'ry child of ev'ry race.
And when human hearts are breaking
under sorrow's iron rod,
then we find that selfsame aching
deep within the heart of God.
3 God is love; and though with blindness
sin afflicts all human life,
God's eternal loving-kindness
guides us through our earthly strife.

o'er us final triumph gain:
God is love, so love forever
o'er the universe must reign. Topics: Father and Creator; God; God--Goodness of; God--Love of; Grief and sorrow; Sin Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Striving still to truth unknown,
Soaring, dying, 'round your throne.

Hear what peaceful music rings;
Where the flocks in you confiding,
Drink of joy from deathless springs!

Theirs is wisdom’s holiest treasure;
You do ever lead your own,
In the love of joys unknown.
