Brotherly Love

Author: Joseph Humphreys Hymnal: Laudes Domini #430 (1888) Topics: Christians Graces First Line: Blessed are the sons of God Lyrics: 1 Blessed are the sons of God, They are bought with Christ's own blood; They are ransomed from the grave; Life eternal they shall have: With them numbered may we be, Here, and in eternity. 2 They are justified by grace, They enjoy the Saviour's peace; All their sins are washed away; They shall stand in God's great day: With them numbered may we be, Here, and in eternity. 3 They are lights upon the earth, Children of a heavenly birth-- One with God, with Jesus one: Glory is in them begun: With them numbered may we be, Here, and in eternity.

Let Pharisees of high esteem

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #431 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Let Pharisees of high esteem Their faith and zeal declare: All their religion is a dream, If love be wanting there. 2 Love suffers long with patient eye, Nor is provok'd in haste; She lets the present inj'ry die, And long forgets the past. 3 Malice and rage, those fires of hell, She quenches with her tongue; Hopes and believes and thinks no ill, Tho' she endure the wrong. 4 She ne're desires nor seeks to know The scandals of the time; Nor looks with pride on those below, Nor envies those that climb. 5 She lays her own advantage by, To seek her neighbour's good; So God's own Son came down to die, And save us by his blood. 6 Love is the grace that keeps her pow'r In all the realms above; There faith and hope are known no more, But saints for ever love. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13

Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #436 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews, And nobler speech than angels use; If love be absent, I am found, Like tinkling brass, an empty sound. 2 Were I inspir'd to preach and tell All that is done in heav'n and hell, Or could my faith the world remove, Still I am nothing without love. 3 Should I distribute all my store, To feed the bowels of the poor; Or give my body to the flame, To gain a martyr's glorious name: 4 If love to God, and love to men Be absent, all my hopes are vain; Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal The work of love can e'er fulfil.

Lord, I cannot let thee go

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #440 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Lord, I cannot let thee go, Till a blessing thou bestow; Do not turn away thy face, Mine's an urgent, pressing case. 2 Dost thou ask me, who I am? Ah! my Lord, thou know'st my name! Yet the question gives a plea, To support my suit with thee! 3 Thou didst once a wretch behold, In rebellion blindly bold; Scorn thy grace--thy pow'r defy-- That poor rebel, Lord, was I. 4 Once a sinner near despair, Sought thy mercy-seat by pray'r; Mercy heard and set him free, Lord, that mercy came to me. 5 Many days have passed since then, Many changes I have seen; Yet have been upheld till now; Who could hold me up but thou? 6 Thou hast help'd in ev'ry need-- This emboldens me to plead; After so much mercy past, Canst thou let me sink at last? 7 No--I must maintain my hold-- 'Tis thy goodness makes me bold; I can no denial take, When I plead for Jesus' sake. Scripture: Genesis 32:26
