My God, I love Thee; not because
Author: Francis Xavier, d. 1552; Edward Caswall Appears in 211 hymnals Topics: Quinquagesima Sunday; Sundays in Lent; Lent, Fifth Sunday; Good Friday; Fourth Sunday after Trinity; Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity; Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because
I hope for heaven thereby;
Nor because they, who love Thee not,
Must burn eternally.
2 Thou, O my Jesus! Thou didst me
Upon the Cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace;
3 And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony;
E'en death itself--and all for one
Who was Thine enemy.
4 Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ!
Should I not love Thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
Nor of escaping hell;
5 Not with the hope of gaining aught;
Not seeking a reward;
But, as Thyself hast lovéd me,
O ever loving Lord!
6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love,
And in Thy praise will sing;
Solely because Thou art my God,
And my eternal King. Used With Tune: CHESHIRE
My God, I love Thee; not because
Your harps, ye trembling saints

Down from the willows take;
Loud, to the praise of Love divine,
Bid every string awake.
2 Though in a foreign land,
We are not far from home;
And nearer to our house above
We every moment come.
3 His grace will to the end
Stronger and brighter shine;
Nor present things, nor things to come,
Shall quench the spark divine.
4 When we in darkness walk,
Nor feel the heavenly flame,
Then is the time to trust our God,
And rest upon His Name.
5 Soon shall our doubts and fears
Subside, at His control:
His loving-kindness shall break through
The midnight of the soul.
6 Blest is the man, O God,
That stays himself on Thee!
Who wait for Thy salvation, Lord,
Shall Thy salvation see. Used With Tune: NARENZA
Your harps, ye trembling saints

Now to seek and love and fear Thee;

2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
Lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
Till Thy Spirit breaks our night
With your beams of truth unclouded.
Thou alone to God canst win us,
Thou must work all good within us.

Open Thou our ears and heart,
Help us by Thy Spirit's pleading,

Hear, and bless our prayers and praises. Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU, WIE SIND HIER

Well deserves the name of Friend.
His is love beyond a brother's,
Costly, free, and knows no end.
They who once His kindness prove,
Find it everlasting Love.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But this Saviour died to have us
Reconciled in Him to God:
This was boundless Love indeed:
Jesus is a Friend in need.
3 When He lived on earth abaséd,
Friend of sinners was His name,
Now, above all glory raiséd,
He rejoices in the same:
Still He calls them brethren, friends,
And to all their wants attends.
4 O for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love,
We, alas! forget too often
What a Friend we have above:
But when home our souls are brought,
We will love Thee as we ought. Used With Tune: LIEBE DIE DU MICH ZUM BILDE

Having Thy sweet consolations,
We need wish for nothing more.

Bringing down the richest treasure
Man can wish, or God can send.
Author of the new creation!
Come with unction and with power;
Make our hearts Thy habitation;
On our souls Thy graces shower.

With the fulness of Thy grace. Used With Tune: SCHMÜCKE DICH, O LIEBE SEELE

To reach eternal joys!

At this poor, dying rate?
Our love so cold, so faint to thee,
And Thine to us so great?

And that shall kindle ours. Used With Tune: ST. MARY'S

Of never-dying love.

Then lead to Jesus' Blood;
And to our wondering view reveal
The secret Love of God.

To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh life in every part,
And new create the whole.

Then we shall know, and praise and love
The Father, Son, and Thee. Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE

And sure directions how to live.

Nor let me from His pastures stray.
Lead me to heaven, the seat of bliss,
Where pleasure in perfection is. Used With Tune: EMMANEUL

Love divine, all love excelling
Author: C. Wesley Appears in 1,895 hymnals Topics: Fifth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down!
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart!
2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving spirit
Into every troubled breast!
Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find Thy promised rest.
Take away the love of sinning,
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.
3 Come, Almighty, to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Graciously return, and never,
Never more Thy temples leave!
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy precious love.
4 Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee!
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Used With Tune: RIPLEY
Love divine, all love excelling
