Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 116 hymnals Topics: Compassion, Divine; God Compassion of Lyrics: 1. Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love,
Unmerited and free,
Delights our evil to remove,
And help our misery.
2. Thou waitest to be gracious still;
Thou dost with sinners bear;
That, saved, we may Thy goodness feel,
And all Thy grace declare.
3. Thy goodness and Thy truth to me,
To every soul, abound;
A vast, unfathomable sea,
Where all our thoughts are drowned.
4. Its streams the whole creation reach,
So plenteous is the store,
Enough for all, enough for each,
Enough for evermore.
5. Throughout the universe it reigns,
Unalterably sure;
And while the truth of God remains,
The goodness must endure. Used With Tune: SALZBURG

"Friend of Sinners"
Author: John Newton Appears in 691 hymnals Topics: Christ Compassion 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. Scripture: Proverbs 18:24 Used With Tune: MURIEL

A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky:
2 To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfil;
O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master's will!
3 Arm me with jealous care,
As in Thy sight to live;
And O, Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
4 Help me to watch and pray,
And on Thyself rely;
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die. Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL

"The wondrous Cross"
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,080 hymnals Topics: Christ Compassion of First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross 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 death 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 His dying crimson, like a robe,
Spreads o'er his body on the tree;
Then I am dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me.
5 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all. Scripture: Numbers 21:8 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM (OLD)
"The wondrous Cross"
Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North; Ruth Duck Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 384 hymnals Topics: Compassion Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of clan and race,
above the noise of selfish strife,
O Christ, we hear your voice of grace.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds fraught with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from human grief and burdened toil,
from famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to view
the strong compassion of your face.
5 O Master, from the mountainside
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide;
O tread the city's streets again.
6 Till all shall learn compassion's might,
following where your feet have trod,
till glorious from your realm of light
shall come the city of our God. Used With Tune: GERMANY
