In Loving-Kindness Jesus Came
Author: Charles H. Gabriel Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 185 hymnals Refrain First Line: From sinking sand He lifted me Lyrics: 1 In loving kindness Jesus came,
My soul in mercy to reclaim;
And from the depths of sin and shame
Through grace He lifted me.
Chorus:
From sinking sand
He lifted me,
With tender hand
He lifted me,
From shades of night to plains of light,
O praise His name,
He lifted me!
2 He called me long before I heard,
Before my sinful heart was stirred;
But when I took Him at His word,
Forgiv'n, He lifted me.[Chorus]
3 His brow was pierced with many a thorn,
His hands by cruel nails were torn,
When from my guilt and grief, forlorn,
In love He lifted me.[Chorus]
4 Now on a higher plane I dwell,
And with my soul I know 'tis well;
Yet how or why I cannot tell
He should have lifted me.[Chorus] Topics: Comfort,Encouragement, Hope; Jesus, Birth Used With Tune: HE LIFTED ME

Swift messengers before Thy face,
The heralds of Thy wondrous grace,
Where Thou Thyself wilt come.

Men in whose ears His sweet words ring;
Send such Thy lost ones home to bring;
Send them where Thou wilt come.

The bruised and broken hearts to win;
In every place to bring them in
Where Thou Thyself wilt come.

The sword of Thine own deathless Word;
And make them conquerors, conquering, Lord,
Where Thou Thyself wilt come.

It Fell Upon a Summer Day
Author: Stopford Augustus Brooke Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It fell upon a summer day,
When Jesus walked in Galilee,
The mothers from a village brought
Their children to His knee.
2 He took them in His arms, and laid
His hands on each remembered head;
"Suffer these little ones to come
To Me," He gently said.
3 "Forbid them not; unless ye bear
The childlike heart your hearts within,
Unto My Kingdom ye may come,
But may not enter in."
4 O Father, grant this childlike heart,
That I may come to Christ, and feel
His hands on me in blessing laid,
Love-giving, strong to heal.
Amen. Topics: Love and Communion; Young, Hymns for the; Church, The Young, Hymns for the Scripture: Luke 18:16-17 Used With Tune: CHILDHOOD
