"Friend of Sinners"

Author: John Newton Appears in 689 hymnals Topics: Christ Example of 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.

God of my mercy and my praise

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Love to Enemies from the Example of Christ Lyrics: 1 God of my mercy and my praise, Thy glory is my song; Tho' sinners speak against thy grace With a blaspheming tongue. 2 When in the form of mortal man Thy Son on earth was found; With cruel slanders, false and vain, They compass'd him around. 3 Their mis'ries his compassion move, Their peace he still pursu'd; They render hatred for his love, And evil for his good. 4 Their malice rag'd without a cause, Yet with his dying breath He pray'd for murd'rers on his cross, And blest his foes in death. 5 Lord, shall thy bright example shine In vain before my eyes; Give me a soul akin to thine, To love my enemies. 6 The Lord shall on my side engage, And in my Saviour's name I shall defeat their pride and rage Who slander and condemn. Scripture: Psalm 109

A pilgrim through this lonely world

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: Example of Christ Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim through this lonely world The blessed Saviour passed; A mourner all His life was He, A dying Lamb at last! 2 That tender heart, which felt for all, For all its life-blood gave; It found on earth no resting-place Save only in the grave! 3 Such was our Lord; and shall we fear The cross with all its scorn? Or love a faithless, evil world, That wreath'd His brow with thorn? 4 No: facing all its frowns or smiles, Like Him, obedient still, We homeward press, through storm or calm To Zion’s blessèd hill. 5 Dead to the world, with Him who died to win our hearts, our love, We, risen with our risen Head, In spirit dwell above.

Oh, come with blissful ray; Break radiant through the shades of night, And chase my fears away. 6 Then shall my soul with rapture trace The wonders of thy love: But the full glories of thy face Are only known above.
