O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

Author: George Matheson Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 707 hymnals Topics: Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 O Love that will not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee; I give thee back the life I owe, that in thine ocean depths its flow may richer, fuller be. 2 O Light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee; my heart restores its borrowed ray, that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day may brighter, fairer be. 3 O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, and feel the promise is not vain, that morn shall tearless be. 4 O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust life’s glory dead, and from the ground there blossoms red life that shall endless be. Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3 Used With Tune: ST. MARGARET

"Bought with a price"

Author: Samuel Davies Appears in 403 hymnals Topics: Cross of Christ Taking First Line: Lord, I am thine, entirely thine Lyrics: 1 Lord, I am thine, entirely thine, Purchased and saved by blood divine, With full consent thine I would be, And own thy sovereign right in me. 2 Grant one poor sinner more a place Among the children of thy grace; A wretched sinner, lost to God, But ransomed by Immanuel's blood. 3 Thine would I love, thine would I die, Be thine through all eternity; The vow is past beyond repeal; And now I set the solemn seal. 4 Here at that cross where flows the blood That bought my guilty soul for God, Thee, my new Master now I call, And consecrate to thee my all. 5 Do thou assist a feeble worm, The great engagement to perform; Thy grace can full assistance lend, And on that grace I dare depend.

Before the heaven and earth

Scripture: Philippians 2:5-11 Used With Tune: NARENZA Text Sources: The Song of Christ's Glory

O thou mighty God and Saviour

Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 8.7.4 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 O thou mighty God and Saviour Give us faith thy works to trace; Heavenly Warrior, may we never From thee turn away our face; May we view thee, Standing in our wretched place. 2 Armed with wrath and righteous vengeance, Justice once unsheathed its sword; Death and hell were its attendants, And Jehovah gave the word: “Smite the Shepherd; Let my wrath on him be poured.” 3 All obeyed with fixed attention, And in dreadful troops drew near; Horrors we can never mention Seized our Lord and Saviour there; Armed with vengeance, Free from either dread or fear. 4 Gaze, ye Christians, gaze and wonder; See the mighty Hero fight; He has burst their bands asunder, And completely spoiled their might, Yes, this Warrior, Put the hosts of hell to flight. 5 Now the battle’s fought and gainèd; Jesus, our victorious Lord, Rushed into the hosts, and stainèd All his garments in their blood; But he conquered, And redeemed the church to God. Scripture: Zechariah 13:7
