Saviour, Thy dying love
Author: Dr. S. D. Phelps, 1816-1895 Appears in 574 hymnals Topics: Heart Faithful Lyrics: 1 Saviour, Thy dying love
Thou gavest me:
Nor should I aught withhold,
My Lord, from Thee:
In love my soul would bow,
My heart fulfil its vow,
Some offering bring Thee now
Something for Thee.
2 At the blest mercy-seat,
Pleading for me;
My feeble faith looks up,
Jesus, to Thee.
Help me the cross to bear,
Thy wondrous love declare,
Some song to raise, or prayer,
Something for Thee.
3 Give me a faithful heart,
Likeness to thee,
That each departing day,
Henceforth may see
Some work of love begun,
Some deed of kindness done,
Some wanderer sought and won
Something for Thee.
4 All that I am and have
Thy gifts so free
In joy, in grief, through life,
O Lord, for Thee:
And, when Thy face I see,
My ransomed soul shall be,
Through all eternity,
Something for Thee. Used With Tune: CONSECRATION (II)

And who in the place of His presence attend?

God Our Only Good
Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Heart Good, Perfect, Pure and Upright First Line: O God, how good Thou art Lyrics: 1 O God, how good Thou art
To all the pure of heart,
Tho' life seems vain;
Burdened with anxious care,
I groped in dark despair,
Till in Thy house of prayer
All was made plain.
2 Ever, O Lord, with Thee,
All shall be well with me,
Held by Thy hand;
And Thou wilt guide my feet
By Thy own counsel sweet,
Till I, for glory meet,
In glory stand.
3 In earth or heav'n above
Who is there that I love
Compared with Thee?
My heart may faint with fears,
But God my strength appears,
And will to endless years
My portion be.
4 O it is good that I
May still to God draw nigh,
As oft before;
The Lord Jehovah blest,
My refuge and my rest,
Shall be in praise confessed
For evermore. Scripture: Psalm 73 Used With Tune: OLIVET

And to our wondering view reveal
The mercies of our God.

And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.

To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh life in every part,
And new-create the whole.

Our minds from bondage free;
Then shall we know, and praise, and love,
The Father, Son, and thee.

In new, bright raiment clad.

Of Thy renewed earth.

These marvels sweeter far to trace,
These new births more divine.

These hearts Thou makest new,
These mournful souls by Thee made blest,
These faithless hearts made true.

This bloom of love so fair,
This new-born ecstasy of song,
And fragrancy of prayer!

These wonders sweet of Thine,
Divine Redeemer, graciously
Renew this heart of mine. Used With Tune: SERAPH

peace to thy Church from error and from strife;
peace to our land, the fruit of truth and love;

thy peace in death, the hope to rise again;
then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:10 Used With Tune: ELLERS

Awake, my voice, and sing
The mighty works, or mightier name
Of our eternal King.

And sound His power abroad;
Sing the sweet promise of His grace,
And the performing God.
3. Proclaim salvation from the Lord,
For wretched, dying men:
His hand hath writ the sacred word
With an immortal pen.
4. Engraved as in eternal brass,
The mighty promise shines;
Nor can the powers of darkness 'rase
Those everlasting lines.

As that which built the skies;
The voice that rolls the stars along
Speaks all the promises.

To know Thy favour sure:
I trust the all-creating Voice,
And faith desires no more. Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

Nor rites that God has given,
Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth,
Can raise a soul to heaven.

Creates us heirs of grace;
Born is the image of his Son,
A new, peculiar race.

Breathes on the sons of flesh,
New-models all the carnal mind,
And forms the man afresh.
4 Our quickened souls awake and rise
From the long sleep of death;
On heavenly things we fix our eyes,
And praise employs our breath.

A calm and heavenly frame,
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
2 Where is the blessedness I know
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and his word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb. Used With Tune: HERMON
