What Wondrous Love Is This
Meter: 12.9.6.6.12.9 Appears in 252 hymnals First Line: What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul! Lyrics: 1 What wondrous love is this,
O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul!
2 When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down
Beneath God's righteous frown,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul!
3 To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb,
Who is the great I AM,
While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing,
While millions join the theme, I will sing.
4 And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on;
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on.
And when from death I'm free
I'll sing His love for me,
And through eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on,
And through eternity I'll sing on. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: WONDROUS LOVE Text Sources: American folk hymn, A General Selection of...Spiritual Songs, Lynchburg, 1811, alt.

Amazing Grace – How Sweet the Sound
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807; John P. Rees, 19th cent. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,420 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace - how sweet the sound -
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind but now I see.
2 The Lord has promised good to me;
His Word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
4 When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun. Topics: Justification Used With Tune: NEW BRITAIN

Author: F. B. P., 16th cent. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 622 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
2 When shall these eyes Thy heav'n-built walls
And pearly gates behold,
Thy bulwarks with salvation strong
And streets of shining fold?
3 Oh, when, thou city of my God,
Shall I thy courts ascend?
Where evermore the angels sing,
The Sabbath has no end.
4 O Christ, do Thou my soul prepare
For that bright home of love
That I may see Thee and adore
With all Thy saints above.

Lord, "tis Not that I Did Choose You
Author: Josiah Conder, 1789-1855; Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 77 hymnals First Line: Lord, 'tis not that I did choose You Lyrics: 1 Lord, 'tis not that I did choose You;
That, I know, could never be,
For this heart would still refuse You
Had Your grace not chosen me.
You removed the sin that stained me,
Cleansing me to be Your own;
For this purpose You ordained me,
That I live for you alone.
2 It was grace in Christ that called me,
Taught my darkened heart and mind,
Else the world had yet enthralled me,
To Your heav'nly glories blind.
Now I worship none above You;
For Your grace alone I thirst,
Knowing well that, if I love You,
You, O Father, loved me first.
3 Haste then on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer.
All but heav'n is transitory;
God's own hand shall guide you there.
Soon shall end this earthly story;
Swift shall pass the pilgrim days,
Hope soon change to heav'nly glory,
Faith to sight and prayer to praise.

The Day You Gave Us, Lord, Is Ended
Author: Johann Ellerton, 1826-93 Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 282 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day You gave us, Lord, is ended;
The darkness falls at Your request.
To You our morning hymns ascended;
Your praise shall sanctify our rest.
2 We thank You that Your Church, unsleeping
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
And never rests by day or night.
3 As over each continent and island
Each dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor do the praises die away.
4 So be it, Lord; Your throne shall never,
Like earth’s proud kingdoms, pass away.
Your kingdom stands and grows forever
Until there dawns Your glorious day. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT

Now that Daylight Fills the Sky
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 81 hymnals First Line: Now that the daylight fills the sky Lyrics: 1 Now that the daylight fills the sky,
We lift our hearts to God on high
That He, in all we do or say,
Would keep us free from harm today,
2 Would guard our hearts and tongues from strife,
From angry words would shield our life,
From evil sights would turn our eyes,
And close our ears to vanities.
3 So we, when this new day is gone,
And night in turn is drawing on,
With conscience by the world unstained,
Shall praise His name for vict'ry gained.
4 "All praise to You, Creator Lord!
All praise to You, eternal Word!
All praise to You, O Spirit wise!"
We sing as daylight fills the skies.

What Child Is This

On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet
With anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The babe, the Son of Mary!
2 Why lies He in such mean estate
Where oxen now are feeding?
Good Christians, fear;
For sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through;
The cross He'll bear for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The babe, the Son of Mary!
3 So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh;
Come, peasant, king, to own Him.
The King of kings
Salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high;
The virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The babe, the Son of Mary! Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: GREENSLEEVES
