My God, I love thee

Author: Edward Caswall, 1848-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 208 hymnals Scripture: John 20:26-29 First Line: My God, I love thee; not because Lyrics: 1 My God, I love thee; not because I hope for heav'n thereby, nor yet because who love thee not are lost eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus, thou didst me upon the cross embrace; for me didst bear the nails and spear, and manifold disgrace. 3 And griefs and torments numberless, and sweat of agony; yea, death itself — and all for me who was thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessèd Jesu Christ, should I not love thee well? Not for the sake of winning heav'n, nor of escaping hell. 5 Not from the hope of gaining aught, not seeking a reward; but as thyself hast lovèd me, O ever-loving Lord. 6 So would I love thee, dearest Lord, and in thy praise will sing; solely because thou art my God, and my most loving King.

We Believe

Appears in 100 hymnals Scripture: John 20:29 First Line: We saw thee not when thou didst come Lyrics: 1 We saw thee not when thou didst come To this poor world of sin and death; Nor yet beheld thy cottage home, In that despised Nazareth; But we believe thy footsteps trod Its streets and plains, thou Son of God; But we believe thy footsteps trod Its streets and plains, thou Son of God. 2 We saw thee not when lifted high Amid that wild and savage crew; Nor heard we that imploring cry, "Forgive, they know not what they do!" But we believe the deed was done, That shook the earth and veiled the sun; But we believe the deed was done, That shook the earth and veiled the sun. 3 We gazed not in the open tomb Where once thy mangled body lay; Nor saw thee in that "upper room," Nor met thee on the open way; But we believe that angels said, "Why seek the living with the dead?" But we believe that angels said, "Why seek the living with the dead?" 4 We walked not with the chosen few Who saw thee from the earth ascend; Who raised to heaven their wondering view, Then low to earth all prostrate bend; But we believe that human eyes Beheld that journey to the skies; But we believe that human eyes Beheld that journey to the skies.

In Tenderness He Sought Me

Author: W. Spencer Walton Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: John 20:20 Refrain First Line: O the love that sought me Lyrics: 1 In tenderness He sought me, Weary and sick with sin, And on His shoulders brought me Back to His fold again. While angels in His presence sang Until the courts of heaven rang. Chorus: O the love that sought me! O the blood that bought me! O the grace that brought me to the fold, Wondrous grace that brought me to the fold! 2 He washed the bleeding sin wounds And poured in oil and wine; He whispered to assure me, “I’ve found thee, thou art Mine;” I never heard a sweeter voice; It made my aching heart rejoice! (Chorus) 3 He pointed to the nail prints, For me His blood was shed, A mocking crown so thorny Was placed upon His head: I wondered what He saw in me To suffer such deep agony. (Chorus) 4 I’m sitting in His presence, The sunshine of His face, While with adoring wonder His blessings I retrace: It seems as if eternal days Are far too short to sound His praise. (Chorus) 5 So while the hours are passing, All now is perfect rest; I’m waiting for the morning, The brightest and the best, When He will call us to His side, To be with Him, His spotless bride.
