His Own Received Him Not

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Surely, if such a thing could be Lyrics: 1 Surely, if such a thing could be, The best of sunlight fell on Thee; The softest of the stars of night Shed down on Thee its sweetest light. 2 Surely, if such a thing could be, Noon kept its gentlest rays for Thee; The lightest of the winds of morn Across Thy weary brow was borne. 3 The freshest dew that eve ere shed Fell in its coolness on Thy head; The fairest of the flowers that bloom Reserved for Thee their rich perfume. 4 Yet tho’ this earth which Thou hast made Its best for Thee might hourly spread, And tho’, if such a thing might be, The best of sunlight fell on Thee, 5 Man had no love to give Thee here, No words of peace, no look of cheer; No tenderness his heart could move, He gave Thee hatred for Thy love. 6 Thy best of love to him was giv’n, The freest, truest grace of Heav’n; His worst of hatred fell on Thee, His worst of scorn and enmity. 7 Life, as its gift for him, Thy love Brought in its fullness from above; Death, of all deaths the sharpest, he In his deep hate prepared for Thee. 8 O love and hate! thus face to face Ye meet in this strange meeting place! O sin and grace, O death and life, Who, who shall conquer in this strife? 9 "Father, forgive," is love’s lone cry, While hatred’s crowd shouts, "Crucify!" How deeply man his God doth hate, God’s love to man how true and great! 10 Love bows the head in dying woe, And hatred seems to triumph now; Life into death is fading fast, And death seems conqueror at last. 11 But night is herald of the day, And hate’s dark triumph but makes way For love’s eternal victory, When life shall live, and death shall die.

Happy the Man That Finds the Grace

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 127 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Happy the man that finds the grace, The blessing of God’s chosen race, The wisdom coming from above, The faith that sweetly works by love. 2. Happy beyond description he Who knows: The Savior died for me; The gift unspeakable obtains, And heavenly understanding gains. 3. Wisdom divine! Who tells the price Of wisdom’s costly merchandise; Wisdom to silver we prefer, And gold is dross compared to her. 4. Her hands are filled with length of days, True riches, and immortal praise, Riches of Christ, on all bestowed, And honor that descends from God. 5. To purest joys she all invites, Chaste, holy, spiritual delights; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her flowery paths are peace. 6. Happy the man who wisdom gains, Thrice happy who his Guest retains! He owns, and shall for ever own, Wisdom, and Christ, and Heaven are one.
