Dear Lord and Master mine

Author: Thomas H. Gill Hymnal: The Hymnal #566b (1921) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Love To Christ Languages: English Tune Title: FERGUSON

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLI (1792) Topics: Graces of the Spirit Love to Christ; Love Desiring to Love Christ First Line: Come, let me love: or is my mind Refrain First Line: L. M. Lyrics: 1 Come let me love: or is my mind Harden,'d to stone, or froze to ice? I see the blessed fair one bend, And stoop to embrace me from the skies! 2 O! 'tis a thought would melt a rock, And make an heart of Iron move, That those sweet lips, that heavenly look Should seek and wish a mortal love! 3 I was a traitor doom'd to fire, Bound to sustain eternal pains; He flew on wings of strong desire, Assum'd my guilt and took my chains. 4 Infinite grace! almighty charms! Stand in amaze, ye rolling skies! Jesus the God, extends his arms, Hangs on a cross of love, and dies. 5 Did pity ever stoop so low Dress'd in divinity and blood? Was ever rebel courted so, In groans of an expiring God? 6 Again he lives, and spreads his hands, Hands that were nail'd to torturing smart; "By these dear wounds," says he; and stands, And prays to clasp me to his heart. 7 Sure I must love; or are my ears Still deaf, nor will my passions move? Lord! melt this stubborn heart to tears; This heart shall yield to death or love. Languages: English

My God, I love Thee--not because

Author: Edward Caswall; Francis Xavier Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #451a (1899) Topics: Love To Christ Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee--not because I hope for heaven thereby-- Nor yet because, if I love not, I must forever die. 2 For me to lowest depths of woe Thou didst Thyself abase; For me didst bear the cross and shame, And manifold disgrace. 3 For me didst suffer pains unknown, Blood-sweat and agony, Yea, death itself--all, all for me Who was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessèd Saviour mine, Should I not love Thee well? Not for the sake of winning heaven, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught, Not seeking a reward-- But freely, fully, as Thyself Hast lovèd me, O Lord! 6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing; Solely because Thou art my God, And my eternal King. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HORSLEY

Author: Charles E. Mudie Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #453 (1899) Topics: Christ Love to; Love To Christ Lyrics: 1 I lift my heart to Thee, Saviour divine! For Thou art all to me, And I am Thine. Is there on earth a closer bond than this, That my beloved's mine, and I am His? 2Thine am I be all ties; But chiefly Thine, That through Thy sacrifice, Thou, Lord, art mine. By thine own cords of love, so sweetly wound Around me, I to Thee am closely bound. 3 To Thee, Thou bleeding Lamb, I all things owe; All that I have and am, And all I know. All that I have is now no longer mine, And I am not mine own; Lord, I am Thine. 4 How can I, Lord, withhold Life's brightest hour From Thee; or gathered gold, Or any power? Why should I keep one precious thing from Thee, When Thou hast given Thine own dear self for me? Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BUDLEIGH

Redemption and Grateful Love

Hymnal: The Psalter #310 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ Love to First Line: I love the Lord, for my request Lyrics: 1 I love the Lord, for my request And humble plea He makes His care; In Him through life my faith shall rest, for He both hears and answers prayer. 2 Brought nigh to death and full of grief, The Lord's salvation I besought; He heard my cry, He sent relief, My soul from depths of woe He brought. 3 Most kind and righteous is the Lord, Our God is merciful indeed, Delighting ever to afford His help to me in time of need. 4 Return unto thy rest, my soul, The Lord has richly dealt with thee, Delivered thee from death's control, From sin and sorrow set thee free. 5 Since He has freed my eyes from tears And kept my feet from evil ways, Redeemed from life's distressing fears, With Him I walk, and Him I praise. 6 In my affliction and my pain, When fears alarmed and hopes deceived, I found all human helpers vain, But in the Lord my soul believed.

Thou Hidden Love of God, Whose Height

Author: Gerhard Tersteegen Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #485 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Love to Christ Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height, Whose depth unfathomed no man knows, I see from far Thy beauteous light, Inly I sigh for Thy repose: My heart is pained, nor can it be At rest, till it find rest in Thee. 2 Is there a thing beneath the sun That strives with Thee my heart to share? Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone, The Lord of ev'ry motion there. Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it has found repose in Thee. 3 O hide this self from me, that I No more, but Christ in me, may live! My base affections crucify, Nor let one favorite sin survive; In all things nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee. 4 Each moment draw from earth away My heart, that lowly waits Thy call! Speak to my inmost soul, and say "I am thy Love, thy God, thy All!" To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice, To taste Thy love, be all my choice! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: INGRID
