How Great Thou Art
The Love of God
Author: F. M. L. Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.6.8.6 with refrain Appears in 83 hymnals Scripture: John 3:16 First Line: The love of God is greater far Refrain First Line: Oh, love of God, how rich and pure! Lyrics: 1 The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.
Refrain:
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints’ and angels’ song.
2 When hoary time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—
The saints’ and angels’ song. [Refrain]
3 Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [The love of God is greater by far] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/The_Love_of_God); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (484)

in my heart from hour to hour,
so that all may see I triumph
only through his power.

in my life for ever reign;
that I may be calm to comfort
those in grief, or pain.

this is victory.

drawing all my strength from Jesus
as I onward go. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Discipleship; The Church Celebrates Confirmation; The Church Celebrates Ordination; Confirmation; God peace of; Jesus love of all; Ordination; Word of God Used With Tune: CANDLEBEAM

The Gospel Shows the Father's Grace
Author: Matthias Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: John 3:16 Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace,
Who sent His Son to save our race,
Proclaims how Jesus lived and died
That we might thus be justified.
2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes,
Who made th'atoning sacrifice,
And call the souls with guilt opprest
To come and find eternal rest.
3 It brings the Savior's righteousness
Our souls to robe in royal dress;
From all our guilt it brings release
And gives the troubled conscience peace.
4 It is the pow'r of God to save
From sin and Satan and the grave;
It works the faith, which firmly clings
To all the treasures which it brings.
5 It bears to all the tidings glad
And bids their hearts no more be sad;
The heavy-laden souls it cheers
And banishes their guilty fears.
6 May we in faith its tidings learn
Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn;
May we in faith its truth confess
And praise the Lord our Righteousness!
Amen.
