Come, Thou Fount

Author: Robert Robinson, 1735-1790 Hymnal: HFS1977 #51 (1977) First Line: Come, Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me, Lord, some rapturous measure, Meet for blood-bought hosts above; While I sing the countless treasure Of my God's unchanging love. 2 O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter, Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; Prone to leave the God I love: Yet Thou, Lord, hast deigned to seal it; With Thy Spirit from above. 3 Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wand'ring from the fold of God; Rescued thus from sin and danger, He, to save my soul from danger, Interposed His precious blood. Rescued thus from sin and danger, Purchased by the Saviour's blood, May I walk on earth a stranger, As a son and heir of God.

Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894; Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Hymnal: HFS1977 #52 (1977) Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne: Hark! how the heav'nly anthem drowns All music but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless King Thru all eternity. 2 Crown Him the Lord of love: Behold His hands and side– Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified; No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his wond'ring eye At mysteries so bright. 3 Crown Him the Lord of life: Who triumphed o'er the grave, Who rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save; His glories now we sing, Who died and rose on high, Who died eternal life to bring And lives that death may die. 4 Crown Him the Lord of years, The Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime! All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou hast died for me; Thy praise shall never, never fail Throughout eternity. 5 Crown Him the Lord of heav'n: One with the Father known, One with the Spirit thru Him giv'n From yonder glorious throne. To Thee be endless praise, For Thou for us hast died; Be Thou, O Lord, thru endless days Adored and magnified. Topics: Processional Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

God Forbid That I Should Glory

Author: Charles P. Jones Hymnal: HFS1977 #54 (1977) First Line: God forbid that I should glory only in the cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 God forbid that I should glory only in the cross of Christ, Only in the lowly Jesus by the high and proud despised; Nor shall any fond ambition turn my heart from Him away, I shall know no one but Jesus, Jesus, Jesus ev'ry day. None but Jesus crucified, Jesus Christ Who for me died; I shall know no one but Jesus, Jesus, Jesus ev'ry day. 2 God forbid that I should glory in a life of pleasure gay, May my Saviour's face before me turn me e'er from such away. If I lose today's vain pleasure, O my Saviour, all for Thee, Thou, I know, wilt well repay me in Thy vast eternity. None but Jesus crucified, Jesus Christ Who for me died; I shall know no one but Jesus, Jesus, Jesus ev'ry day. 3 God forbid that I should glory only in the daily cross, For the prize that's set before me I would count all else but loss. Friends and kindred, earthly honor, wealth and ease I all would flee, Take my cross and daily follow Thee, my Saviour, only Thee. None but Jesus crucified, Jesus Christ Who for me died; I shall know no one but Jesus, Jesus, Jesus ev'ry day.

Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone

No, there's a cross for every one, And there's a cross for me. 2 My Saviour bore His cross of shame, That I might go to heaven. Will I then fail to own His name, Who has my sins forgiven. 3 No, I will take His cross as mine, For I have died with Him, My life now comes from Christ the vine, For victory o'er sin. 4 So, on I'll go in Christ's blest name, And count all things but loss, Then I shall meet Him without shame, For bearing here my cross. 5 Then unto glory I shall go, To be with Christ my Lord. With all who suffer here below, I'll share the great reward. Topics: Consecration; Cross Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: HFS1977 #58 (1977) Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the cross of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most- I sacrifice them to His blood. 3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an off'ring far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my heart, my life, my all!
