And Can It Be
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 292 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8 First Line: And can it be that I should gain Refrain First Line: Amazing love! How can it be Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain
an interest in the Savior's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain–
for me, who caused his bitter death?
Amazing love! How can it be
that you, my Lord, should die for me?
Refrain:
Amazing love! How can it be
that you, my Lord, should die for me?!
2 He left his Father's throne above–
so free, so infinite his grace–
emptied himself of all but love,
and bled for Adam's helpless race!
What mercy this, immense and free,
for, O my God, it found out me! [Refrain]
3 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night.
Your sunrise turned that night to day;
I woke– the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, your voice I knew;
I rose, went out, and followed you. [Refrain]
4 No condemnation now I dread,
for Christ, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. [Refrain]

as on the day of Pentecost,
descend with all thy power.

in our appointed place,
and wait the promise of our Lord,
the Spirit of all grace.

upon the waves beneath,
move with one impulse, ev'ry mind,
one soul, one feeling breathe.
4 The young, the old inspire
with wisdom from above;
and give us hearts and tongues of fire
to pray and praise and love.
5 Spirit of light, explore
and chase our gloom away,
with luster shining more and more
unto the perfect day.

in life or death our guide;
O Spirit of adoption, now
may we be sanctified. Used With Tune: CAMBERWELL (Wesley)

Blessed Feasts of Blessed Martyrs
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:17 Lyrics: 1 Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs,
Holy women, holy men,
With our love and admiration,
Greet we your return again.
Worthy deeds are theirs, and wonders,
Worthy of the name they bore;
We, with joyful praise and singing,
Honor them for evermore.
2 Faith prevailing, hope unfailing,
Loving Christ with single heart,
Thus they, glorious and victorious
Bravely bore the martyr's part
By contempt of ev'ry anguish,
By unyielding battle done;
Victors at the last, they triumph
With the host of angels one.
3 Therefore, all that reign in glory,
Strong and sure with Christ on high,
Join to ours your supplication
When before him we draw nigh,
Praying that, this life completed,
All its fleeting moments past,
By his grace we may be worthy
Of eternal bliss at last. Topics: Martyrs; Witness Used With Tune: IN BABILONE Text Sources: Latin, 12th C.
Blessed Feasts of Blessed Martyrs
In the bulb there is a flower
Author: Natalie Allyn Wakeley Sleeth (1930-1992) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:18-25 Lyrics: 1 In the bulb there is a flower;
in the seed, an apple tree;
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there's a spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
2 There's a song in every silence,
seeking word and melody.
There's a dawn in every darkness,
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future,
what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
3 In our end is our beginning;
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing:
in our life, eternity.
In our death, a resurrection;
at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see. Topics: The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Change; Eternal Life; Funerals general; Spring; Winter Used With Tune: HYMN OF PROMISE
