Profession of Love to Christ

Author: Dr. St. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Graces of the Spirit Love to Christ First Line: And have I, Christ, no love to thee Lyrics: 1 And have I, Christ, no love to thee, No passion for thy charms? No wish my Savior's face to see, And dwell within his arms? 2 Is there no spark of gratitude In this cold heart of mine To him whose generous bosom glow'd With friendship all divine? 3 Can I pronounce his charming name, His acts of kindness tell; And, while I dwell upon the theme, No sweet emotion feel? 4 Such base ingratitude as this What heart but must detest! Sure Christ deserves the noblest place In every human breast. 5 A very wretch, Lord, I should prove Had I no love to thee: Rather than not my Savior love, O may I cease to be! Languages: English

Supreme Love to Christ

Author: B. Francis Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLIII (1792) Topics: Graces of the Spirit Love to Christ First Line: My gracious Redeemer I'll love Lyrics: 1 My gracious redeemer I'll love, His praises aloud I'll proclaim, And join with the armies above, To shout his adorable name. To gaze on the glories divine Shall be my eternal employ, And feel them incessantly shine, My boundless ineffable joy. 2 He freely redeem'd with his blood, My soul from the confines of hell, To live on the smiles of my God, And in his sweet presence to dwell; To shine with the angels of light, With saints and with seraphs to sing, To view, with eternal delight, My Jesus, my savior, my King. 3 In Mesheck, as yet, I reside, A darksome and restless abode! Molested with foes on each side, And longing to dwell with my God. O, when shall my spirit exchange This cell of corruptible clay, For mansions celestial, and range Thro' realms of ineffable day! 4 My glorious redeemer! I long To see thee descend on the cloud, Amidst the bright numberless throng, And mix with the triumphing crow'd; O, when wilt thou bid me ascend, To join in thy praises above, To gaze on thee, world without end, And feast on thy ravishing love? 5 Nor sorrow, nor sickness, nor pain, Nor sin, nor temptation, nor fear, Shall ever molest me again, Perfection of glory reigns there. This soul and this body shall shine In robes of salvation and praise, And banquet on pleasures divine, Where God his full beauty displays. 6 Ye palaces, sceptres, and crowns, Your pride with disdain I survey; Your pomps are but shadows and sounds, And pass in a moment away: The crown that my savior bestows, Yon permanent fun shall outshine; My jou everlastingly flows, My God, my redeemer is mine.

O love divine, how sweet thou art!

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #178 (1870) Topics: Christ Love to; Love To Christ Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet thou art! When shall I find my willing heart All taken up by thee? I long and thirst, and faint ti prove The greatness of redeeming love, The love of Christ to me. 2 Stronger His love than death or hell; Its riches are unsearchable; The first-born sons of light Desire, in vain, its depths to see; They cannot reach the mystery, The length, and breadth, and height. 3 Oh, that I could forever sit, With Mary, at the Master’s feet! Be this my happy choice; My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heaven on earth be this, To hear the Bridegroom’s voice. 4 Oh, that I could, with favor'd John, Recline my weary head upon The dear Redeemer's breast! From care, and sin, and sorrow free, Give me, O Lord, to find in Thee My everlasting rest. Languages: English
