And can it Be?

Author: Rev. Chas. Wesley Appears in 286 hymnals First Line: And can it be that I should gain Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain An int'rest in the Savior's blood? Died he for me, who caus'd his pain? For me, who him to death pursued? Amazing love! how can it be That thou, my Lord, shouldst die for me? 2 'Tis myst'ry all, th' Immortal dies! Who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine; 'Tis mercy all! let earth adore: Let angel minds inquire no more. 3 He left his Father's throne above; (So free, so infinite his grace!) Emptied himself of all but love, And bled for Adam's helpless race; 'Tis mercy all, immense and free, For oh, my God, it found out me! 4 No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, with all in him, is mine; Alive in him, my living head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach th' eternal throne And claim the crown thro' Christ my own. Used With Tune: [And can it be that I should gain]

Only Jesus Crucified

Author: Wesley Appears in 289 hymnals First Line: Vain, delusive world, adieu Refrain First Line: Only Jesus will I know Lyrics: 1 Vain, delusive world, adieu, With all of creature good; Only Jesus I pursue, Who bought me with his blood, All thy pleasures I forego, I trample on thy wealth and pride, Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified. 2 Here will I set up my rest; My fluctuating heart From the haven of his breast, Shall never more depart, Whither should a sinner go? His wounds for me stand open wide; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified. 3 Him to know is life and peace, And pleasure without end; This is all my happiness, On Jesus to depend, Daily in his grace to grow, And ever in his faith abide, Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified. 4 O that I could all invite, This saving truth to prove; Show the length, the breadth, the height, And depth of Jesus' love. Fain I would to sinners show, The blood by faith alone applied, Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified. Used With Tune: [Vain, delusive world, adieu]

The Best Friend

Appears in 686 hymnals First Line: One there is, above all others Lyrics: 1 One there is, above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend; His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end. Which of all our friends to save us, Could, or would, have shed his blood? But our Jesus died to have us Reconciled, in him, to God. 2 When he lived on earth so lowly, Friend of sinners was his name; Now enthroned among the holy, He rejoices in the same. Oh, for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love; We, alas! forget too often What a friend we have above. Used With Tune: MEMORY

For Me

[Chorus] 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears.
