"Come home"
Author: Joseph Swain Appears in 241 hymnals Topics: Adoption First Line: Brethren, while we sojourn here Lyrics: 1 Brethren, while we sojourn here,
Fight we must, but should not fear;
Foes we have, but we've a Friend,
One that loves us to the end:
Forward, then, with courage go;
Long we shall not dwell below;
Soon the joyful news will come,
"Child, your Father calls--come home!"
2 In the way a thousand snares
Lie, to take us unawares;
Satan, with malicious art,
Watches each unguarded part:
But, from Satan's malice free,
Saints shall soon victorious be;
Soon the joyful news will come,
"Child, your Father calls--come home!"
3 But of all the foes we meet,
None so oft mislead our feet,
None betray us into sin,
Like the foes that dwell within;
Yet let nothing spoil our peace,
Christ shall also conquer these;
Soon the joyful news will come,
"Child, your Father calls--come home!" Scripture: Romans 14:8 Used With Tune: MESSIAH

Behold th' amazing gift of love
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Adoption; Christian Life Adoption Lyrics: 1 Behold th' amazing gift of love
The Father hath bestowed
On us, the sinful sons of men,
To call us sons of God!
2 Concealed as yet this honor lies,
By this dark world unknown,
A world that knew not when he came,
E'en God's eternal Son.
3 High is the rank we now possess;
But higher we shall rise;
Though what we shall hereafter be
Is hid from mortal eyes:
4 Our souls, we know, when God appears,
Shall bear his image bright;
For then his glory, as he is,
Shall open to our sight.
Amen. Scripture: 1 John 3:1-2 Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN Text Sources: Alt. Scottish Paraphrases, 1751
Behold th' amazing gift of love
I know that my Redeemer lives, And ever prays for me
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 384 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification Lyrics: 1 I know that my Redeemer lives,
And ever prays for me;
A token of his love he gives,
A pledge of liberty.

He brings salvation near;
His presence makes me free indeed,
And he will soon appear.
3 He wills that I should holy be--
What can withstand his will?
The counsel of his grace in me
He surely shall fulfill!
4 Jesus, I hang upon thy word;
I steadfastly believe
Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord,
And to thyself receive.
5 When God is mine, and I am his,
Of paradise possessed,
I taste unutterable bliss,
And everlasting rest.
I know that my Redeemer lives, And ever prays for me

Spirit of Adoption
Author: Berridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Adoption First Line: Well, canst thou read thy heart Lyrics: 1 Well, canst thou read thy heart,
And feel the plague of sin?
Does Sinai’s thunder make thee start,
And conscience roar within?
2 Expect to find no balm
On nature’s barren ground;
All human medicines will do harm;
They only skin the wound.
3 To Jesus Christ repair,
And knock at mercy’s gate;
His blood alone can wash thee fair,
And make thy conscience sweet.
4 In season due he seals
A pardon on the breast;
The wounds of sin his Spirit heals,
And brings the gospel-rest.
5 [So comes the peace of God,
Which cheers the conscience well;
And love shed in the heart abroad,
More sweet than we can tell.]
6 Adopted sons perceive
Their kindred to the sky;
The Father’s pardoning love receive,
And “Abba, Father,” cry.

That God, the highest and the best,
My Friend and Father is.

Naught in the life I lead;
What Christ hath given, that alone
I dare in faith to plead.

Of Jesus and his blood;
It is through him that I have found
My soul's eternal good.
4 At cost of all I have,
At cost of life and limb,
I cling to God who yet shall save;
I will not turn from him.
5 His Spirit in me dwells,
O'er all my mind he reigns;
My care and sadness he dispels,
And soothes away my pains.
6 He prospers day by day
His work within my heart,
Till I have strength and faith to say,
