How happy every child of grace

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #556 (1917) Topics: Inspiration, Of Scriptures Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of grace, Who knows his sins forgiven! This earth, he cries, is not my place, I seek my place in heaven: A country far from mortal sight Yet, O by faith I see The land of rest, the saints' delight, The heaven prepared for me. 2 A stranger in the world below, I calmly sojourn here; Nor can its happiness or woe Provoke my hope or fear. Its evils in a moment end, Its joys as soon are past; But, O the bliss to which I tend Eternally shall last! 3 To that Jerusalem above With singing I repair; While in the flesh, my hope and love, My heart and soul, are there: There my exalted Saviour stands, My merciful High Priest, And still extends His wounded hands To take me to His breast.

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord

Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #558 (1958) Topics: The Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in his excellent word!

For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. 3 'When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply: The flames shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine, Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 4 'E'en down to old age all my people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love, And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne. 5 'The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not, I cannot desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, no never, no never forsake!

Come, Divine Interpreter

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #594 (1989) Topics: The Book of the Church : Holy Scripture Lyrics: Come, divine Interpreter, bring me eyes thy book to read, ears the mystic words to hear, words which did from thee proceed, words that endless bliss impart, kept in an obedient heart.

Whether the Word Be Preached or Read

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #595 (1989) Topics: The Book of the Church : Holy Scripture Lyrics: Whether the Word be preached or read, no saving benefit I gain from empty sounds or letters dead; unprofitable all and vain, unless by faith thy word I hear and see its heavenly character. Unmixed with faith, the Scripture gives no comfort, life, or light to see, but me in darker darkness leaves, implunged in deeper misery, overwhelmed with nature's sorest ills. The Spirit saves, the letter kills. If God enlighten through his Word, I shall my kind Enlightener bless; but void and naked of my Lord, what are all verbal promises? Nothing to me, till faith divine inspire, inspeak, and make them mine. Jesus, the appropriating grace 'tis thine on sinners to bestow. Open mine eyes to see thy face, open my heart thyself to know. And then I through thy Word obtain sure present, and eternal gain. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:5-6 Languages: English

The Scripture is a banner before God's host unfurled; it is a shining beacon above the darkling world. It is the chart and compass that o'er life's surging tide, mid mists and rocks and quicksands, to you, O Christ, will guide. 4.

O teach your wandering pilgrims by this their path to trace, till, clouds and darkness ended, they see you face to face. Languages: English Tune Title: MUNICH
