O Jesus, King Most Wonderful
Author: Edward Caswall; Unknown, 15th century Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 248 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:7 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, King most wonderful,
Thou Conqueror renowned,
Thou Sweetness most ineffable,
In whom all joys are found!
2 When once Thou visitest the heart,
The truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanities depart,
Then kindles love divine.
3 O Jesus, Light of all below,
Thou Fount of life and fire,
Surpassing all the joys we know,
All that we can desire--
4 May every heart confess Thy name
And ever Thee adore
And, seeking Thee, itself inflame
To seek Thee more and more!
5 Thee may our tongues forever bless,
Thee may we love alone,
And ever in our lives express
The image of Thine own!
Amen.

He Lifted Me
Author: Charles H. Gabriel Appears in 180 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9 First Line: In loving kindness Jesus came Refrain First Line: From sinking sand He lifted me Lyrics: 1 In lovingkindness Jesus came
My soul in mercy to reclaim,
And from the depths of sin and shame
Thro' grace He lifted me.
Chorus:
From sinking sand He lifted me,
With tender hand He lifted me,
From shades of night to plains of light,
O praise His name, He lifted me!
2 He called me long before I heard,
Before my sinful heart was stirred,
But when I took Him at His word,
Forgiv'n He lifted me. (Chorus)
3 His brow was pierced with many a thorn,
His hands by cruel nails were torn,
When from my guilt and grief, forlorn,
In love He lifted me. (Chorus)
4 Now on a higher plane I dwell,
And with my soul I know 'tis well;
Yet how or why, I cannot tell,
He should have lifted me. (Chorus)

of circling planets singing on their way,

directed, strengthened, and upheld by you.

your family, with your well-beloved Son;

and fill our hearts that we may be as one;
as one with you, our comforter and friend;

to follow truth, and so to find you near. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in intercession and petition; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: SONG 1

Lord, 'Tis Not That I Did Choose Thee
Author: Josiah Conder, 1789-1855 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 77 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9-10 Lyrics: 1 Lord, 'tis not that I did choose Thee;
That, I know, could never be;
For this heart would still refuse Thee
Had Thy grace not chosen me.
Thou hast from the sin that stained me
Washed and cleansed and set me free
And unto this end ordained me,
That I ever live to Thee.
2 It was grace in Christ that called me,
Taught my darkened heart and mind;
Else the world had yet enthralled me,
To Thy heav'nly glories blind.
Now I worship none above Thee;
For Thy grace alone I thirst,
Knowing well that, if I love Thee,
Thou, O Lord, didst love me first.
3 Praise the God of all creation;
Praise the Father's boundless love.
Praise the Lamb, our expiation,
Priest and King enthroned above.
Praise the Spirit of salvation,
Him by whom our spirits live.
Undivided adoration
To the great Jehovah give.

comes to save a fallen race,
object of our glorious hope,

he has washed us in his blood.

walk as children of the light;
we shall soon obtain the grace,
pure in heart, to see his face.
5 We shall gain our calling's prize;
after God we all shall rise,
filled with joy, and love, and peace,
perfected in holiness.
