Full Of Providential Love

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Full of providential love, Thou dost Thy sons sustain; Send Thy blessings from above In earth-enriching rain; From Thy river in the skies Streams through airy channels flow, Bid the springing corn arise, And cheer the world below. 2 Kindly do the showers distill, Taught by the art of God, All the settled furrows fill, And soften every clod; Thou the acceptable year Dost with smiling plenty crown; Clouds the treasured fatness bear, And drop in blessings down. 3 Springs the watered wilderness Into a fruitful field; Earth her hundred-fold increase Doth at Thy bidding yield; Hills and vales with praises ring, Joy ascends to Heaven above; Laugh the harvesters, and sing The bounteous God of love.

Jesu, Great Redeemer, Hear

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Jesus, great Redeemer, hear Lyrics: 1 Jesus, great Redeemer, hear A feeble sinner’s cry; Thou in my behalf appear, And bring salvation nigh: To my Lord what shall I say? Savior, I of Thee have need; Take, O take my sins away, And make me free indeed. 2 Thee all-lovely as Thou art, Should I profess to love, Surely my rebellious heart The falsehood would disprove: Thee my heart cannot obey Till from every evil freed: Take, O take my sins away, And make me free indeed. 3 Should I say, that aught in me Of God doth now abide, Self condemned I now should be; My all is self and pride. Guilty, guilty must I say, Nothing, Lord, have I to plead: Take, O take my sins away, And make me free indeed. 4 No desire, or will have I Thy mercy to embrace; From Thy arms of love I fly, And slight Thy proffered grace: But Thou didst my ransom pay, But Thy blood for me was shed: Take, O take my sins away, And make me free indeed. 5 Thy salvation to obtain, Out of myself I go, Freely Thou must heal my pain, Thy unbought mercy show: For myself I cannot pray; Let Thy Spirit intercede: Take, O take my sins away, And make me free indeed. 6 Not because I willing am, On me this grace be showed; But Thou art th’atoning Lamb, Therefore apply Thy blood; Therefore, Lord, no more delay, Therefore heal my soul, and lead; Take, O take my sins away, And make me free indeed.

Once A Woman Silent Stood

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once a woman silent stood While Jesus sat at meat; From her eyes she poured a flood, To wash His sacred feet: Shame and wonder, joy and love, All at once possessed her mind, That she e’er so vile could prove, Yet now forgiveness find. 2 "How came this vile woman here? Will Jesus notice such? Sure, if He a prophet were, He would disdain her touch!" Simon thus, with scornful heart, Slighted one whom Jesus loved, But her Savior took her part, And thus his pride reproved. 3 "If two men in debt were bound, One less, the other more; Fifty, or five hundred pound, And both alike were poor; Should the lender both forgive, When he saw them both distressed; Which of them would you believe, Engaged to love him best?" 4 "Surely he who much did owe," The Pharisee replied; Then our Lord, “By judging so, Thou dost for her decide: Simon, if like her you knew, How much you forgiveness need; You like her had acted too, And welcomed Me indeed! 5 "When the load of sin is felt, And much forgiveness known; Then the heart of course will melt, Though hard before as stone: Blame not then, her love and tears, Greatly she in debt has been: But I have removed her fears, And pardoned all her sin." 6 When I read this woman’s case, Her love and humble zeal; I confess, with shame of face, My heart is made of steel; Much has been forgiv’n to me, Jesus paid my heavy score, What a creature must I be, That I can love no more!

By Thy own right hand of power Thou hast exalted Him, Sent the mighty Conqueror Thy people to redeem: King of saints, and Prince of Peace, Him Thou hast for sinners giv’n, Sinners from their sins to bless, And lift them up to Heav’n. 3. Father, God, to us impart The gift unspeakable; Now in every waiting heart Thy glorious Son reveal: Quickened with our living Lord, Let us in Thy Spirit rise, Rise to all Thy life restored, And bless Thee in the skies.

Sinner, Hear The Savior's Call

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 58 hymnals First Line: Sinner, hear the Savior’s call Lyrics: 1 Sinner, hear the Savior’s call, He now is passing by; He has seen thy grievous thrall, And heard thy mournful cry. He has pardons to impart, Grace to save thee from thy fears; See the love that fills His heart, And wipe away thy tears. 2 Why art thou afraid to come And tell Him all thy case? He will not pronounce thy doom, Nor frown thee from His face: Wilt thou fear Emmanuel? Wilt thou dread the Lamb of God, Who, to save thy soul from hell, Has shed His precious blood? 3 Think, how on the cross He hung Pierced with a thousand wounds! Hark, from each as with a tongue The voice of pardon sounds! See, from all His bursting veins, Blood, of wondrous virtue, flow! Shed to wash away thy stains, And ransom thee from woe. 4 Though His majesty be great, His mercy is no less; Though He thy transgressions hate, He feels for thy distress: By Himself the Lord has sworn, He delights not in thy death; But invites thee to return, That thou mayst live by faith. 5 Raise thy downcast eyes, and see What throngs His throne surround! These, though sinners once like thee, Have full salvation found: Yield not then to unbelief! While He says, "There yet is room"; Though of sinners thou art chief, Since Jesus calls thee, come.
