O the Depth of Love Divine

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O the depth of love divine, the unfathomable grace! Who shall say how bread and wine God into us conveys! How the bread his flesh imparts, how the wine transmits his blood, fills his faithful people’s hearts with all the life of God! 2 Let the wisest mortals show how we the grace receive; feeble elements bestow a power not theirs to give. Who explains the wondrous way, how through these the virtue came? These the virtue did convey, yet still remain the same. 3 How can spirits heavenward rise, by earthly matter fed, drink herewith divine supplies and eat immortal bread? Ask the Father’s wisdom how: Christ who did the means ordain; angels round our altars bow to search it out, in vain. 4 Sure and real is the grace, the manner be unknown; only meet us in thy ways and perfect us in one. Let us taste the heavenly powers, Lord, we ask for nothing more. Thine to bless, ’tis only ours to wonder and adore. Scripture: John 6:35-58 Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

Sinner, Hear The Savior's Call

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 58 hymnals First Line: Sinner, hear the Savior’s call Lyrics: 1 Sinner, hear the Savior’s call, He now is passing by; He has seen thy grievous thrall, And heard thy mournful cry. He has pardons to impart, Grace to save thee from thy fears; See the love that fills His heart, And wipe away thy tears. 2 Why art thou afraid to come And tell Him all thy case? He will not pronounce thy doom, Nor frown thee from His face: Wilt thou fear Emmanuel? Wilt thou dread the Lamb of God, Who, to save thy soul from hell, Has shed His precious blood? 3 Think, how on the cross He hung Pierced with a thousand wounds! Hark, from each as with a tongue The voice of pardon sounds! See, from all His bursting veins, Blood, of wondrous virtue, flow! Shed to wash away thy stains, And ransom thee from woe. 4 Though His majesty be great, His mercy is no less; Though He thy transgressions hate, He feels for thy distress: By Himself the Lord has sworn, He delights not in thy death; But invites thee to return, That thou mayst live by faith. 5 Raise thy downcast eyes, and see What throngs His throne surround! These, though sinners once like thee, Have full salvation found: Yield not then to unbelief! While He says, "There yet is room"; Though of sinners thou art chief, Since Jesus calls thee, come.

Celebrate Immanuel's Name

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Celebrate Immanuel’s name, the Prince of life and peace. God with us, our lips proclaim, our faithful hearts confess. God is in our flesh revealed; Heav’n and earth in Jesus join. Mortal with Immortal filled, and human with divine. 2. Fullness of the deity in Jesus’ body dwells, Dwells in all His saints and me when God His Son reveals. Father, manifest Thy Son; breathe the true incarnate Word. In our inmost souls make known the presence of the Lord. 3. Let the Spirit of our Head through every member flow; By our Lord inhabited, we then Immanuel know. Then He doth His name express; God in us we truly prove, Find with all the life of grace and all the power of love. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

Maker, Savior Of Mankind

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Maker, Savior of mankind, Who hast on me bestowed, An immortal soul, designed To be the house of God: Come, and now reside in me, Never, never to remove; Make me just and good, like Thee, And full of power and love. 2 Bid in me Thine image rise, A saint, a creature new; True, and merciful, and wise, And pure and happy, too; This Thy primitive design, That I should in Thee be blest; Should within Thine arms divine, For ever, ever rest. 3 Let Thy will in me be done; Fulfill my heart’s desire, Thee to know, and love alone, And rise in raptures higher. Thee descending on a cloud, Till with ravished eyes I see; Then shall I be filled with God To all eternity. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM Text Sources: Hymns for Children, 1763

God, The Omnipresent God

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 God, the omnipresent God, Our strength and refuge stands Ready to support our load, And bear us in His hands: Readiest when we need Him most, When to Him distressed we cry; All who on His mercy trust Shall find deliverance nigh. 2 Kept by Him, we scorn to fear In danger’s blackest day, Starting at destruction near, Though nature faint away, Though the stormy ocean roar, Though the madding billows rise, Rage, and foam, and lash the shore, And mingle earth and skies. 3 Let earth’s inmost center quake, And shattered nature mourn, Let unwieldy mountains shake, And fall by storms uptorn, Fall with all their trembling load Far into the ocean hurled, Lo! We stand secure in God, Amidst a ruined world. 4 From the throne of God there springs A pure and crystal stream, Life, and peace, and joy it brings To His Jerusalem: Rivers of refreshing grace Through the sacred city flow, Watering all the hallowed place Where God resides below. 5 God most merciful, most high, Doth in His Sion dwell, Kept by Him their towers defy The strength of earth and hell; Built on her o’ershadowing Rock, Who shall her foundations move? Who her great defender shock— The Almighty God of love. 6 All that on this Rock are stayed The world assaults in vain, Ever present with His aid He shall His own sustain: Guardian of the chosen race, Jesus doth His church defend, Save them by His timely grace, And keep them to the end. 7 Furiously the heathen raged Against His church below, Kingdoms all their power engaged Jerusalem t’o’erthrow; Earth from her foundation stirred, Yawned to swallow up her prey, Jesus spoke, she owned His word, And quaked, and fled away. 8 For His people in distress The God of Jacob stands, Keeps us, ’till our troubles cease, In His almighty hands: He for us His power hath shown, He doth still our refuge prove; Loves the Lord of hosts His own, And shall forever love. 9 Come, behold the Almighty Lord In robes of vengeance clad; By the desolating sword What havoc hath He made! He hath sent His armies forth, States and kingdoms to o’erthrow, Marched in anger through the earth, And ravaged all below. 10 Lo! Again in tender love He bids their discords cease, Calms their spirit from above, And melts them into peace; Breaks the bow and burns the car, Instruments of fatal ill, Quells the horrid din of war, And bids the world be still. 11 "Sons of men, be still, and know That I am God alone; I my saving power will show, And make my goodness known; All shall with my will comply"; Fear the name to sinners given, Bow before the Lord most high, The Lord of earth and Heav’n. 12 For His people in distress The God of Jacob stands, Bears us, ’till our troubles cease, In His almighty hands: He for us His power hath shown, He doth still our refuge prove, Loves the Lord of hosts His own, And shall forever love.
