Make channels for the streams of love

Author: French Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Consecration and Activity Lyrics: 1 Make channels for the streams of love, Where they may broadly run; And love has overflowing streams To fill them every one. 2 But if at any time we cease Such channels to provide, The very founts of love for us Will soon be parched and dried. 3 For we must share, if we would keep, That blessing from above: Ceasing to give, we cease to have; Such is the law of love.

Redeemed from guilt, redeemed from fears

Author: Lyle Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Consecration and Activity Lyrics: 1 Redeemed from guilt, redeemed from fears, My soul enlarged, and dried my tears, What can I do, O Love Divine, What, to repay such gifts as thine? 2 What can I do, so poor, so weak, But from thy hands new blessings seek, A heart to feel thy mercies more, A soul to know thee, and adore? 3 Oh, teach me at thy feet to fall, And yield thee up myself, my all! Before thy saints my debts to own, And live and die to thee alone! 4 Thy Spirit, Lord, at large impart, Expand and raise and fill my heart! So may I hope my life shall be Some faint return, O Lord, to thee.

"Stricken, smitten, and afflicted"

Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Christian Activity Lyrics: 1 "Stricken, smitten, and afflicted," See Him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ by man rejected; Yes, my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He! 'Tis the long-expected Prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; Proofs I see sufficient of it: 'Tis the true and faithful word. 2 Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning, Was there ever grief like His? Friends through fear His cause disowning, Foes insulting His distress: Many hands were raised to wound Him, None would interpose to save; But the deepest stroke that pierced Him Was the stroke that Justice gave. 3 Ye who think of sin but lightly, Nor suppose the evil great; Here may view its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed! See Who bears the awful load; 'Tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man, and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation; Here's the refuge of the lost; Christ's the Rock of our salvation: His the name of which we boast: Lamb of God for sinners wounded! Sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded Who on Him their hope have built.

Go labor today Lyrics: 1 Why stand ye here all day idle, I pray? Go into my vineyard and labor today; The harvest is plenteous but lab’rers are few, Then haste ye away, there’s employment for you. Refrain: Standing idle! Go labor today; Go into my vineyard; Haste, haste ye away. 2 Too much of your time has already been lost; The world and its pleasures, ah! dearly they cost. Why tarry ye longer? Be up and away, And that which is right for thy wages I’ll pay. [Refrain] 3 The harvest is passing and soon will be o’er; The gracious entreaty ye’ll hear then no more. Ah! sad the reflection on mem’ry engraved, “The summer is ended, and I am not saved.” [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Why stand ye here all the day idle, I pray?]
