O Love divine, how sweet thou art!

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Common Praise #541 (2000) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Scripture: Ephesians 3:8 Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet thou art! When shall I find my longing heart all taken up by thee? I thirst, I faint, I die to prove the greatness of redeeming love, the love of Christ to me. 2 Stronger his love than death or hell; its riches are unsearchable: the first-born sons of light desire in vain its depth to see; they cannot reach the mystery, the length and breadth and height. *3 God only knows the love of God; O that it now were shed abroad in this poor stony heart! For love I sigh, for love I pine; this only portion, Lord, be mine, be mine this better part. 4 For ever would I take my seat with Mary at the Master's feet: be this my happy choice; my only care, delight, and bliss, my joy, my heaven on earth, be this, to hear the Bridegroom's voice! 5 Thy only love do I require, nothing on earth beneath desire, nothing in heaven above: let earth and heaven, and all things go, give me thine only love to know, give me thine only love.

Jesus, Thy Boundless Love to Me

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 1991 #123 (1991) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Scripture: Ephesians 3:8 Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; O bind my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there: Thine wholy, Thine alone, I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2. O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell but Thy pure love alone; O may Thy love possess my whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown: All coldness from my heart remove; May ev'ry act, word, thought, be love. 3. O Love, how gracious is Thy way! All fear before Thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow melt away, Where'er Thy healing beams arise: O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee. 4. In suff'ring, be Thy love my peace; In weakness, be Thy love my pow'r; And when the storms of life shall cease, O Jesus, in that solemn hour, In death as life be Thou my guide, And save me, who for me hast died.

Spirit of God, Who Dwells within My Heart

Author: George Croly Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #419 (1987) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Scripture: Ephesians 3 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, who dwells within my heart, wean it from sin, through all its pulses move. Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are, and make me love you as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, no sudden rending of the veil of clay, no angel visitant, no opening skies; but take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Did you not bid us love you, God and King, love you with all our heart and strength and mind? I see the cross– there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek you and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that you are always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; teach me the patience of unceasing prayer. 5 Teach me to love you as your angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame: the fullness of the heaven-descended Dove; my heart an altar, and your love the flame.

Father, how wide thy glory shines!

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #113 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Ephesians 3:10 Lyrics: 1 FATHER, how wide thy glory shines! How high thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousand through the skies. 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power; Their motions speak thy skill; And on the wings of every hour We read thy patience still. 3 But when we read thy strange design To save rebellious worms, Where justice and compassion join In their divinest forms-- 4 Here the whole Deity is known; Nor dares a creature guess Which of the glories brightest shone, The justice or the grace. 5 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Bright cherubs chant Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. 6 Oh may I bear some humble part In that immortal song; Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue.

Died he for me, who caused his pain? For me, who him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Refrain: Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldest die for me? 2 'Tis myst'ery all! th'Immortal dies; who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine! 'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds enquire no more. [Refrain] 3 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; 'tis mercy all, immense and free; for, O my God, it found out me. [Refrain] 4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature's night; thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray, I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; my chains fell off, my heart was free; I rose, went forth, and followed thee. [Refrain] 5 No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, 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.
