Blessed are the pure in heart
Author: J. Keble (1792-1866); W. J. Hall (1793-1861) Appears in 403 hymnals Topics: Lent 4, The King and the Kingdom Transfiguration Lyrics: 1 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see our God;
the secret of the Lord is theirs,
their soul is Christ's abode.
2 The Lord, who left the heavens
our life and peace to bring;
to dwell in lowliness with us,
our pattern and our king;
3 Still to the lowly soul
himself he will impart;
and for his dwelling and his throne
chooses the pure in heart.
4 Lord, we your presence seek:
our inner life renew;
give us a pure and lowly heart,
a temple fit for you. Scripture: Matthew 5:8 Used With Tune: FRANCONIA
Blessed are the pure in heart
Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 544 hymnals Topics: Lent 4 Year C Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand:
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land,
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat
and the burden of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus
my eyes at times can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me;
and from my smitten heart with tears
two wonders I confess,
the wonder of his glorious love,
and my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, your shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all, the cross. Used With Tune: ST CHRISTOPHER
Beneath the Cross of Jesus
There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 916 hymnals Topics: Lent 4 Year B; Lent 4 Year C Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy
like the wideness of the sea;
there's a kindness in God's justice
which is more than liberty.
2 There is no place where earth's sorrows
are more felt than up in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such gracious judgement given.
3 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that Christ has shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
from a love so true and deep?
5 For the love of God is broader
than the measures of the mind,
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind. Used With Tune: GOTT WILL'S MACHEN
There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
God Loved the World
Author: A. Crull, 1846-1923 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Lent 4 (Year B) First Line: God loved the world so that he gave Lyrics: 1 God loved the world so that He gave
His only Son, the lost to save,
That all who would in him believe
Should everlasting life receive.
2 Christ Jesus is the ground of faith,
Who was made flesh and suffered death;
All who confide in Christ alone
Are built on this chief cornerstone.
3 If you are sick, if death is near,
This truth your troubled heart can cheer;
Christ Jesus saves your soul from death;
That is the firmest ground of faith.
4 Be of good cheer, for God's own Son
Forgives all sins which you have done,
And justified by Jesus' blood,
Your Baptism grants the highest good.

O Love, How Deep
Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 143 hymnals Topics: Lent 4 Year C First Line: O Love, how deep, how broad, how high! Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
It fills the heart with ecstasy,
that God, in Jesus Christ, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 God sent no angel to our race
of higher or of lower place,
but wore the robe of human frame,
and freely to this lost world came.
3 For us he was baptized, and bore
a holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharply knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us great daily works were wrought,
by words, and signs, and actions, thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
5 For us to wicked foes betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
6 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
7 To God whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through the Son,
to God all praise and glory be
both now and through eternity. Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR Text Sources: Latin, 15th century

I Heard the Voice of Jesus
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,237 hymnals Topics: Lent 4 Year A First Line: I heard the voice of Jesus say Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
weary and worn and sad;
I found in him a resting-place,
and he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down, and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise;
and all your day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk
till travelling days are done. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Blessed Jesus, at Your Word
Author: Tobias Clausnitzer; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 146 hymnals Topics: Lent 4 Year B Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at your word
we have come again to hear you;
let our hearts and souls be stirred
and in glowing faith be near you.
As the promises here given
draw us wholly up to heaven.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
lie in deepest darkness shrouded
till your Spirit breaks the night,
filling us with light unclouded.
All good thoughts and all good living
come but by your gracious giving.
3 Radiance of God's glory bright,
Light of light from God proceeding,
Jesus, send your blessed light;
help our hearing, speaking, heeding,
that our prayers and songs may please you,
as with grateful hearts we praise you. Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU
Blessed Jesus, at Your Word
