How condescending and how kind

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 192 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind Was God's eternal son! Our misery reached His heavenly mind, And pity brought Him down. 2 This was compassion like a God, That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was His blood, His pity ne'er withdrew. 3 Now, though He reigns exalted high, His love is still as great: Well He remembers Calvary, Nor should His saints forget. 4 Here we receive repeated seals Of Jesus' dying love: Hard is the heart that never feels One soft affection move. 5 Here let our hearts begin to melt, While we His death record, And with our joy for pardoned guilt, Mourn that we pierced the Lord. Amen. Topics: Christ Praise to; Christ Sympathy of; Lord's Supper; Praise To Christ; Sympathy Of Christ Used With Tune: MANOAH

Forscutt, 1834-1903 Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Met in thy sacred name, O Lord, To worship thee below, Grant that each soul with joy may thrill, With love each bosom glow. 2 In festive scenes, mid giddy throngs Of those whom sins delight We would not mingle but would walk In truth's free saving light. 3 Thy cheering promise, Lord, we wait, "Wherever two or three Shall in my name together meet, There will I choose to be." 4 Inspire our praise, direct our prayer, Thy Spirit fill each heart; Cloth thou with power each thought and word, To all thy grace impart. Amen. Topics: Light; Love to God, Christ; Prayer; Sin; Worship; Adoration and Praise Opening of Service Scripture: Matthew 18:20 Used With Tune: MANOAH

These Are The Crowns That We Shall Wear

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 47 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 These are the crowns that we shall wear When all Thy saints are crowned; These are the palms that we shall bear On yonder holy ground. 2 Far off as yet, reserved in Heaven, Above that veiling sky, They sparkle, like the star of even, To hope’s far piercing eye. 3 These are the robes unsoiled and white Which we shall then put on, When, foremost ’mong the sons of light, We sit on yonder throne. 4 That city with the jeweled crest, Like some new-lighted sun; A blaze of burning amethyst— Ten thousand orbs in one. 5 That is the city of the saints, Where we so soon shall stand, When we shall strike these desert-tents, And quit this desert-sand. 6 These are the everlasting hills, With summits bathed in day; The slopes down which the living rills, Soft lapsing, take their way. 7 Fair vision! how thy distant gleam Brightens time’s saddest hue; Far fairer than the fairest dream, And yet so strangely true. 8 Fair vision! how thou liftest up The drooping brow and eye; With the calm joy of thy sure hope Fixing our souls on high. 9 Thy light makes even the darkest page In memory’s scroll grow fair; Blanching the lines which tears and age Had only deepened there. 10 With thee in view, the rugged slope Becomes a level way, Smoothed by the magic of thy hope, And gladdened by thy ray. 11 With thee in view, how poor appear The world’s most winning smiles; Vain is the tempter’s subtlest snare, And vain hell’s varied wiles. 12 Time’s glory fades; its beauty now Has ceased to lure or blind; Each gay enhancement here below Has lost its power to bind. 13 Then welcome toil, and care and pain! And welcome sorrow, too! All toil is rest, all grief is gain, With such a prize in view. 14 Come crown and throne, come robe and palm; Burst forth, glad stream of peace! Come, holy city of the Lamb! Rise, Sun of righteousness! 15 When shall the clouds that veil thy rays For ever be withdrawn? Why dost thou tarry, day of days? When shall thy gladness dawn?
