"Friend of Sinners"

Appears in 179 hymnals First Line: One there is above all others Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of friend; His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end: They who once his kindness prove Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But our Jesus died to have us Reconciled in him to God: This was boundless love indeed! Jesus is a friend in need. 3 When he lived on earth abased, "Friend of sinners" was his name; Now above all glories raised, He rejoices in the same; Still he calls them brethren, friends And to all their wants attends. 4 Could we bear from one another What he daily bears from us? Yet this glorious Friend and Brother Loves us though we treat him thus: Though for good we render ill, He accounts us brethren still. 5 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love; We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love thee as we ought. Used With Tune: MURIEL

What Our Father Does Is Well

Author: Benjamin Schmolck Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What our Father does is well; Blessed truth His children tell! Though for plenty He send want, Though the harvest store be scant, Yet we rest upon His love, Seeking better things above. 2 What our Father does is well; Shall the wilful heart rebel If a blessing He withhold In the field, or in the fold? Is He not Himself to be All our store eternally? 3 What our Father does is well; Though He sadden hill and dell, Upward yet our praises rise For the strength His Word supplies. He has called us sons of God; Can we murmur at His rod? 4 What our Father does is well; May the thought within us dwell. Though nor milk nor honey flow In our barren Canaan now, God can save us in our need, God can bless us, God can feed. 5 Therefore unto Him we raise Hymns of glory, songs of praise; To the Father and the Son And the Spirit, Three in One, Honor, might, and glory be Now and through eternity. Amen.
