O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus
Author: S. Trevor Francis Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Malachi 3:6 Lyrics: 1 O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
vast, unmeasured, boundless, free,
rolling as a mighty ocean
in its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me,
is the current of his love
leading onward, leading homeward
to that glorious rest above.
2 O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
spread his praise from shore to shore!
He who loves us, ever loves us,
changes never, nevermore;
he, who died to save his loved ones,
intercedes for them above;
he, who called them his own people,
watches over them in love.
3 O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
love of every love the best,
vast the ocean of his blessing,
sweet the haven of his rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus–
for my heaven of heavens is he;
this my everlasting glory–
Jesus' mighty love for me! Topics: Redemption in Christ Christ's Saving Work; Adoration of Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ Advocate; Adoration of Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ Advocate; Love Christ’s Love fro Us; Saving Work of Christ Used With Tune: EBENEZER

As Saints of Old Their First-fruits Brought
Author: Frank von Christierson, 1900-1996 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Malachi 3:10 Lyrics: 1 As saints of old their firstfruits brought
of vineyard, flock, and field
to God, the giver of all good,
the source of bounteous yield;
so we today our firstfruits bring:
the wealth of this good land,
of farm and market, shop and home,
of mind and heart and hand.
2 A world in need now summons us
to labor, love, and give,
to make our life an offering
to God, that all may live.
The church of Christ is calling us
to make the dream come true:
a world redeemed, by Christ-like love,
all life in Christ made new.
3 With gratitude and humble trust
we bring our best to you,
not just to serve your cause,
but share your love with neighbors too.
O God, who gave yourself to us
in Jesus Christ your Son,
help us to give ourselves each day
until life's work is done.

Messenger of the covenant
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: Malachi 3:1 First Line: Jesus, commission'd from above Lyrics: 1 Jesus, commission'd from above,
Descends to men below,
And shews from whence the springs of love,
In endless currents flow.
2 He, whom the boundless heaven adores,
Whom angels long to see;
Quitted with joy those blissful shores,
Ambassador to me!
3 To me a worm, a sinful clod,
A rebel all forlorn;
A foe, a traitor to my God,
And, of a traitor born;
4 To me, who never sought his grace,
Who mock'd his sacred word;
Who never knew, or lov'd his face,
And all his will abhor'd!
5 To me, who could not even praise,
When his kind heart I knew;
But sought a thousand devious ways,
Rather than keep the true.
6 Yet this redeeming angel came,
So vile a worm to bless;
He took, with gladness, all my blame,
And gave his righteousness.
7 O! that my languid heart might glow,
With ardour all divine;
And for more love than seraphs knew,
Like burning seraphs shine. Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Messenger of the covenant; Christ Angel of the covenant

When the wars and conflicts shall forever cease,
And for struggling saints shall come a sweet release,
When the tithes are gathered in. [Refrain]

What to Him belongeth we will gladly bring,
And we’ll shout hosanna, while the glad harps sing,
When the tithes are gathered in. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [There'll be show'rs of blessing from our Father's hand]

In Heavenly Love Abiding
Author: Anna L. Waring Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 567 hymnals Scripture: Malachi 3:6 Lyrics: 1 In heavenly love abiding,
no change my heart shall fear;
and safe is such confiding,
for nothing changes here.
The storm may roar around me,
my heart may low be laid;
but God is round about me,
and can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever he may guide me,
no want shall turn me back;
my Shepherd is beside me
and nothing can I lack:
his wisdom ever waketh,
his sight is never dim;
he knows the way he taketh,
and I will walk with him.
3 Green pastures are before me,
which yet I have not seen;
bright skies will soon be o'er me
where the dark clouds have been;
my hope I cannot measure,
my path to life is free;
my Savior has my treasure,
and he will walk with me.

All our sins by Thee forgiven;
Lead us, Lord, from earth to heaven.
