O Breathe on Me, O Breath of God
Immortal Love, forever full
Author: John G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 303 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full,
Forever flowing free,
Forever shared, forever whole,
A never-ebbing sea!
2 We may not climb the heavenly steeps
To bring the Lord Christ down;
In vain we search the lowest deeps,
For Him no depths can drown.
3 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is He;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
4 The healing of His seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain;
We touch Him in life's throng and press,
And we are whole again.
5 O Lord and Master of us all,
Whate'er our name or sign,
We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call,
We test our lives by Thine.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Living Presence; Calmness; Christ Abiding with Believers; Christ Advocate; Christ Friend, The; Christ Presence, His Living; Christ Love of; Christ Son of Man; Christ Sympathy of; Comfort; Confidence; Love and Communion Used With Tune: SERENITY

The Head That Once Was Crowned
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 511 hymnals First Line: The head that once was crowned with thorns Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heav'n affords
Is his by sov'reign right,
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And heav'n's eternal light.
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below
To whom he manifests his love,
And grants his name to know;
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is giv'n;
Their name, an everlasting name,
Their joy, the joy of heav'n.
5 They suffer with their Lord below:
They reign with him above;
Their profit and their joy to know
The myst'ry of his love.
6 The cross he bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to him;
His people's hope, his people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme!

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807; John Rees, 19th cent. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,421 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,
was blind but now I see.
2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3 The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
4 Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
5 When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun.

Oh, That the Lord Would Guide my Ways
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 385 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, that the Lord would guide my ways
To keep His statutes still!
Oh, that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!
2 Order my footsteps by Thy Word
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep;
And should I e'er forget Thy way,
Restore Thy wand'ring sheep.
4 Make me to walk in Thy commands--
'Tis a delightful road--
Nor let my head or heart or hands
Offend against my God.

Behold th' amazing gift of love
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold th' amazing gift of love
The Father hath bestowed
On us, the sinful sons of men,
To call us sons of God!
2 Concealed as yet this honor lies,
By this dark world unknown,
A world that knew not when he came,
E'en God's eternal Son.
3 High is the rank we now possess;
But higher we shall rise;
Though what we shall hereafter be
Is hid from mortal eyes:
4 Our souls, we know, when God appears,
Shall bear his image bright;
For then his glory, as he is,
Shall open to our sight.
