Lo, what a pleasing sight

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #392 (1908) Topics: Quinquagesima Lyrics: 1 Lo, what a pleasing sight Are brethren that agree! How blest are all whose hearts unite In bonds of piety! 2 From those celestial springs, Such streams of comfort flow, As no increase of riches brings, Nor honors can bestow. 3 All in their stations move, And each performs his part, In all the cares of life and love, With sympathizing heart. 4 Formed for the purest joys, By one desire possesed, One aim the zeal of all employs, To make each other blest. 5 No bliss can equal theirs, Where such affections meet; While praise devout, and mingled pray'rs, Make their communion sweet. 6 'Tis the same pleasure fills The breast in worlds above, Where joy like morning dew distils, And all the air is love.

My God, I love Thee, not because

Author: Francis Xavier; Edward Caswell Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #405 (1908) Topics: Quinquagesima Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee, not because I hope for heav'n thereby; Nor yet because who love Thee not Must burn eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me Upon the cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace, 3 And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony, Yea, death itself; and all for one That was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessed Savior, Christ, Should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heav'n, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught, Not seeking a reward; But solely for Thy love to me, O ever-loving Lord? 6 E’en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing, Alone because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.

My God, I love Thee; not because

Author: Francis Xavier, d. 1552; Edward Caswall Hymnal: Church Book #410 (1890) Topics: Quinquagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby; Nor because they, who love Thee not, Must burn eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus! Thou didst me Upon the Cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace; 3 And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony; E'en death itself--and all for one Who was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ! 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, as Thyself hast lovéd me, O ever loving 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.

To God the only wise

Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #443 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Quinquagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 To God the only wise, Our Saviour and our King, Let all the saints below the skies Their humble praises bring. 2 'Tis His almighty Love, His counsel, and His care, Preserves us safe from sin and death, And every hurtful snare. 3 He will present our souls, Unblemished and complete Before the glory of His face, With joys divinely great. 4 Then all His faithful sons Shall meet around the throne, Shall bless the conduct of His grace, And make His wonders known. 5 To our Redeemer God Wisdom and power belongs, Immortal crowns of majesty, And everlasting songs.
