Sin no More

Author: C. C. McCabe Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: When did ever words so tender Lyrics: 1 When did ever words so tender Fall on mortal ears before, As the blessed words of Jesus,— “Go thy way, and sin nor more.” Pardoned! oh, that word of rapture! As I knelt at Mercy’s door, Burdened with my sin and sorrow,— “Go thy way, and sin no more.” 2 Jesus spake, and then the power Of his great salvation came; All the bonds of sin were broken: Glory! glory! to his name. “Rise, forgiven, O child of sorrow; Rise, for lo! thy light hath come; Put thy beauteous garments on thee; Take thy staff, and journey home.” 3 “I will know the way thou takest Till thou stand on Canaan’s shore; Never, never will I leave thee; Go thy way, and sin no more.” “From the world I will not take thee Till the battle strife is o’er; From its evil I will keep thee; Go thy way, and sin no more.” 4 O the fight! I’ve learned to love it, For the victory is mine; In the cross of Christ I glory, Triumphing in love divine. O the dawn of heaven’s glory! O the day that has no night! O the sun that finds no zenith! O the host in raiment bright! 5 Oh, the King who dwells among them In his beauty I shall see; Heav’n shall ring with loud hosannas Unto him who died for me. But, ‘mid all the joys of heaven, I will ne’er forget the hour When my Saviour said “Forgiven! Go thy way, and sin no more.” Used With Tune: [When did ever words so tender]

Everlasting Love

Deeper than th’unfathomed sea; Broader than its world of waters, Boundless, infinite and free; Higher than the heavens above, Is that everlasting love; Higher than the heavens above, Is that everlasting love. 2 Down to lowest depths it reaches— The all-loving Father’s arm, T’ward his rebel children yearning, Drawing them with magic charm; Till the yielding spirits move, Touched by everlasting love; Till the yielding spirits move, Touched by everlasting love. 3 Weary spirits—sad with toiling, ‘Mid the sorrows of life’s way— Feel their heavy burdens lightened, As they journey day by day. How with quickened steps they move, Cheered by everlasting love; How with quickened steps they move, Cheered by everlasting love. 4 I have set thee as a signet, Graven on my hands thy name; Lo, I still am with thee always, Evermore thy Friend—the same; Never changing—thou wilt prove Mind is everlasting love; Never changing—thou wilt prove Mind is everlasting love. 5 In my house of many mansions I’ve prepared a place for thee, Where are no dark clouds or tempests Where I am, there thou shalt be— All the untold bliss to prove, Of my everlasting love; All the untold bliss to prove, Of my everlasting love.
