Let us love and sing and wonder

Author: J. Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: Lent 1, The King and the Kingdom Temptation Lyrics: 1 Let us love and sing and wonder; let us praise the saviour's name! he has hushed the law's loud thunder; he has quenched Mount Sinai's flame: he has freed us by his blood; he has brought us near to God. 2 Let us love the Lord who bought us, dying for our rebel race; called us by his word and taught us by the Spirit of his grace: he has freed us by his blood; he presents our souls to God. 3 Let us sing, though fierce temptation threatens hard to drag us down; for the Lord, our strong salvation, holds in view the conqueror's crown; he who freed us by his blood, soon will bring us home to God. 4 Let us praise, and join the chorus of the saints enthroned on high; here they trusted him before us — now their praises fill the sky: 'You have freed us by your blood, you are worthy, Lamb of God!'

Your rod and staff will keep us safe And guide our steps forever; Nor shades of death nor hell beneath, Our lives from you will sever. 3 In all the strife of mortal life Our feet will stand securely; Temptation's hour shall lose its pow'r, For you will guard us surely. Our God, renew with heav'nly dew Our body, soul, and spirit, Until we stand at your right hand Through Jesus' saving merit.

He lives in us, the Christ of God

Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Lent 1, The King and the Kingdom Temptation Lyrics: 1 He lives in us, the Christ of God, his Spirit joins with ours; he brings to us the Father's grace with powers beyond our powers. And if enticing sin grows strong, when human nature fails, God's Spirit in our inner self fights with us, and prevails. 3 Our pangs of guilt and fears of death are Satan's stratagems — by Jesus Christ who died for us God pardons; who condemns? And when we cannot feel our faith, nor bring ourselves to pray, the Spirit pleas with God for us in words we could not say. 3 God gave his Son to save us all — no other love like this! then shall he ever turn away from those he marks as his? And God has raised him from the grave, in this we stand assured; son none can tear us from his love in Jesus Christ our Lord. Scripture: Romans 8 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD
