Oh, the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus
Author: Samuel Trevor Francis Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #796 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: 1 John 3:1-13 Lyrics: 1 Oh, 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 thy love–
leading onward, leading homeward,
to thy glorious rest above!
2 Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus–
spread his praise from shore to shore!
How he loves us, ever loves us,
changes never, nevermore!
How he watches o'er his loved ones,
died to call them all his own;
how for them he's interceding,
watching o'er them from the throne!
3 Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus,
love of every love the best!
'Tis an ocean vast of blessing,
'tis a haven sweet of rest!
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus–
'tis a heaven of heavens to me;
and it lifts me up to glory,
for it lifts me up to thee! Topics: Jesus Christ Hope; Jesus Christ Love; Jesus Christ Savior; Mission; Elements of Worship Baptism Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER

Oh, for a shout of joy
Author: Young Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #94 (1873) Scripture: 1 John 3:16 Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a shout of joy,
Worthy the theme we sing!
To this divine employ
Our hearts and voices bring:
Sound, sound through all the earth abroad,
The love, the eternal love of God.
2 Unnumbered myriads stand,
Of seraphs bright and fair,
Or bow at thy right hand,
And pay their homage there;
But strive in vain with loudest chord,
To sound thy wondrous love, O Lord.
3 Yet sinners saved by grace,
In songs of lower key,
In every age and place,
Have sung the mystery--
Have told in strains of sweet accord
Thy love, thy sovereign love, O Lord.
4 Though earth and hell assail,
And doubts and fears arise,
The weakest shall prevail,
And grasp the heavenly prize,
And through an endless age record
Thy love, thy changeless love, O Lord. Topics: Attributes of God Love; Love
Oh, for a shout of joy
It is a thing most wonderful
Author: W. Walsham How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: Common Praise #109 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: 1 John 3:2 Lyrics: 1 It is a thing most wonderful,
almost too wonderful to be,
that God's own Son should come from heaven,
and die to save a child like me.
2 And yet I know that it is true:
he chose a poor and humble lot,
and wept and toiled and mourned and died
for love of those who loved him not.
3 I cannot tell how he could love
a child so weak and full of sin;
his love must be most wonderful,
if he could die my love to win.
4 I sometimes think about the cross,
and shut my eyes, and try to see
the cruel nails and crown of thorns,
and Jesus crucified for me.
5 But even could I see him die,
I could but see a little part
of that great love which, like a fire,
is always burning in his heart.
6 It is most wonderful to know
his love for me so free and sure;
but 'tis more wonderful to see
my love for him so faint and poor.
7 And yet I want to love thee, Lord;
O light the flame within my heart,
and I will love thee more and more,
until I see thee as thou art. Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week; Lent IV Year B; Palm Sunday Year B; Proper 24 Year B Languages: English Tune Title: HERONGATE

The Eternal Gifts of Christ the King

the apostles' glory, let us sing;

and hope that never yields nor faints,
and love of Christ in perfect glow
that lays the prince of this world low.
3 In them the Father's glory shone;
in them the will of God the Son;
in them exults the Holy Ghost;
through them rejoice the heavenly host.
4 To thee, Redeemer, now we cry,
that thou wouldst join to them on high
thy servants, who this grace implore,
forever and forevermore. Topics: Communion of Saints Languages: English Tune Title: AETERNA CHRISTI MUNERA

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
Author: Joseph Simpson Cook, 1859-1933 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #374 (2006) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Scripture: 1 John 3:5 Lyrics: 1 Gentle Mary laid her child
Lowly in a manger;
There He lay, the Undefiled,
To the world a stranger.
Such a babe in such a place,
Can He be the Savior?
Ask the saved of all the race
Who have found His favor.
2 Angels sang about His birth,
Wise Men sought and found Him;
Heaven's star shone brightly forth
Glory all around Him.
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight,
Heard the angels singing;
All the plains were lit that night,
All the hills were ringing.
3 Gentle Mary laid her child
Lowly in a manger;
He is still the Undefiled
But no more a stranger.
Son of God of humble birth,
Beautiful the story;
Praise His name in all the earth;
Hail the King of glory! Languages: English Tune Title: TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM

God, who stretched the spangled heavens
Author: Catherine Cameron, 1927- Hymnal: Together in Song #163 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: 1 John 3:1-3 Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens
infinite in time and place,
flung the suns in burning radiance
through the silent fields of space,
we your children, in your likeness,
share inventive powers with you:
great Creator, still creating,
show us what we yet may do.
2 Proudly rise our modern cities,
stately buildings, row on row;
yet their windows, blank, unfeeling,
stare on canyoned streets below,
where the lonely drift unnoticed
in the city’s ebb and flow,
lost to purpose and to meaning,
scarcely caring where they go.
3 We have ventured worlds undreamed of
since the childhood of our race;
known the ecstasy of winging
through untraveled realms of space;
probed the secrets of the atom,
yielding unimagined power,
facing us with life’s destruction
or our most triumphant hour.
4 As each far horizon beckons,
may it challenge us anew,
children of creative purpose,
serving others, honouring you.
May our dreams prove rich with promise,
each endeavor, well begun:
great Creator, give us guidance
till our goals and yours are one. Topics: Art and Learning; City; Courage; Discipleship; Environment; Fulfilment; Gifts in Creation; Guidance; Providence; Science Languages: English Tune Title: LE THRORNET
