O Love Divine, What Hast Thou Done!

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 150 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O love divine! what hast thou done! The incarnate God hath died for me! The Father's co-eternal Son, Bore all my sins upon the tree! The Son of God for me hath died: My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 2 Behold Him, all ye that pass by,– The bleeding Prince of life and peace! Come, sinners, see your Saviour die, And say, was ever grief like His? Come, feel with me His blood applied: My Lord, my Love, is crucified: 3 Is crucified for me and you, To bring us rebels back to God: Believe, believe the record true, Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood; Pardon for all flows from His side: My Lord, my love, is crucified. 4 Then let us sit beneath His cross, And gladly catch the healing stream: All things for Him account but loss, And give up all our hearts to Him: Of nothing think or speak beside,– The Lord, my Love is crucified. AMEN. Topics: Christ's Passion Used With Tune: ST CATHERINE

Author: Nicolaus Selnecker; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 0 Lord, my God, I cry to Thee, In my distress Thou helpest me; To Thee myself I all commend, O swiftly now Thine angel send, To guide me home and cheer my heart, Since Thou dost call me to depart. 2 0 Jesus Christ, Thou Lamb of God, Once slain to take away our load, Now let Thy cross, Thine agony, Avail to save and solace me, Thy death to open heav'n, and there Bid me the joy of angels share. 3 0 Holy Spirit, at the end, Sweet Comforter, be Thou my Friend; When death and hell assail me sore, Leave me, O leave me nevermore, But bear me safely through the strife, As Thou hast promised, into life.
