I Gave My Life for Thee
Thy Life Was Giv'n for Me
Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 154 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy life was giv'n for me,
thy blood, O Lord, was shed,
that I might ransomed be,
and quickened from the dead;
thy life, thy life was giv'n for me;
what have I giv'n for thee?
2 Long years were spent for me
in weariness and woe,
that through eternity
thy glory I might know;
long years, long years were spent for me;
have I spent one for thee?
3 Thy Father's home of light,
the rainbow-circled throne,
were left for earthly night,
for wand'rings sad and lone;
yea! all, yea! all was left me;
have I left aught for thee?
4 And thou hast brought to me
down from thy home above
salvation full and free,
thy pardon and thy love;
great gifts, great gifts thou broughtest me;
what have I brought to thee?
5 O let my life be giv'n
my years for thee be spent;
world-fetters all be riv'n
and joy with suff'ring blent:
thou gav'st, thou gav'st thyself for me,
I give myself to thee. Topics: God's Church The Church at Worship: Invitation to Discipleship; Offering; Salvation; Invitation Used With Tune: KENOSIS

How Can A Sinner Know?
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 138 hymnals First Line: How can a sinner know Lyrics: 1 How can a sinner know
His sins on earth forgiven?
How can my Savior show
My name inscribed in Heaven?
What we ourselves have felt, and seen,
With confidence we tell,
And publish to the sons of men
The signs infallible.
2 We who in Christ believe
That He for us hath died,
His unknown peace receive,
And feel His blood applied:
Exults for joy our rising soul,
Disburdened of her load,
And swells, unutterably full
Of glory, and of God.
3 His love, surpassing far
The love of all beneath,
We find within, and dare
The pointless darts of death:
Stronger than death, or sin, or hell,
The mystic power we prove,
And conquerors of the world we dwell
In Heaven, who dwell in love.
4 The pledge of future bliss
He now to us imparts,
His gracious Spirit is
The earnest in our hearts:
We antedate the joys above,
We taste the’ eternal powers,
And know that all those heights of love,
And all those heavens are ours.
5 Till He our life reveal,
We rest in Christ secure:
His Spirit is the seal,
Which made our pardon sure:
Our sins His blood hath blotted out,
And signed our soul’s release:
And can we of His favor doubt,
Whose blood declares us His?
6 We by His Spirit prove
And know the things of God,
The things which of His love
He hath on us bestowed:
Our God to us His Spirit gave,
And dwells in us, we know,
The witness in ourselves we have,
And all His fruits we show.
7 The meek and lowly heart
Which in our Savior was,
He doth to us impart,
And signs us with His cross:
Our nature’s course is turned, our mind
Transformed in all its powers,
And both the witnesses are joined,
The Spirit of God with ours.
8 Whate’er our pardoning Lord
Commands, we gladly do,
And guided by His Word
We all His steps pursue:
His glory is our sole design,
We live our God to please,
And rise with filial fear divine
To perfect holiness. Used With Tune: KENOSIS Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749
How Can A Sinner Know?
Who Of The Great, Or Wise
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Who of the great, or wise,
Hath our report believed!
Alas! they close their eyes,
Nor will be undeceived:
The world cry out, in needless fright,
"Your rash attempt forbear
To lift us to presumption’s height,
Or plunge us in despair."
2 "Whoever seek to know
Their sins on earth forgiven,
Or sink in hopeless woe,
Or rise to madness driven."
They safely choose the middle way,
Aware of each extreme,
The only prudent men are they,
And wisdom dies with them.
3 The sayings of our Lord
Their folly dares despise,
Above the written Word,
To their own ruin, wise;
The written Word, by which we steer
From all mistake secure,
It bids us make our calling here
And our election sure.
4 It bids the weary come,
And find in Christ their rest,
Invites the wanderer home
To his Redeemer’s breast;
It stirs us up to knock, and pray,
And seek the pardoning God,
Till Jesus take our sins away,
And wash us in His blood.
5 It proffers happiness
To all who dare believe,
And promises a peace,
Which man can never give;
With full assurance of belief
Commands us to draw near,
And taste the joy that casts out grief,
The love that casts out fear.
6 Water of life divine,
It bids us freely take,
And mystic milk and wine
For Jesus’ only sake:
The Holy Ghost, the Comforter
To all who ask is given,
That seal of our salvation here,
That antepast of Heaven.
7 But still the world refuse
A Heaven begun below,
And vainly fear to’ abuse
The grace they never know:
The grace their pride will not receive
They impiously deny,
And in their sins securely live,
And desperately die. Used With Tune: KENOSIS Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749
Who Of The Great, Or Wise
Ye simple souls, that stray
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye simple souls, that stray
Far from the path of peace
(That unfrequented way
To life and happiness)
How long will ye your folly love,
And throng the downward road,
And hate the wisdom from above,
And mock the sons of God?
2 Madness and misery
Ye count our life beneath,
And nothing great can see
Or glorious in our death:
As born to suffer and to grieve
Beneath your feet we lie,
And utterly contemn’d we live,
And unlamented die.
3 Poor pensive sojourners,
O’erwhelm’d with griefs and woes,
Perplex’d with needless fears,
And pleasure’s mortal foes;
More irksome than a gaping tomb
Our sight ye cannot bear,
Wrapt in the melancholy gloom
Of fanciful despair.
4 So wretched, and obscure,
The men whom ye despise,
So foolish, weak, and poor
Above your scorn we rise:
Our conscience in the Holy Ghost
Can witness better things,
For he whose blood is all our boast
Hath made us priests and kings.
5 Riches unsearchable
In Jesus’ love we know,
And pleasures from the well
Of life our souls o’erflow:
From him the Spirit we receive
Of wisdom, grace, and pow’r,
And alway sorrowful we live
Rejoicing evermore.
6 Angels our servants are,
And keep in all our ways,
And in their hands they bear
The sacred sons of grace;
Our guardians to that heav’nly bliss
They all our steps attend,
And God himself our Father is,
And Jesus is our friend.
7 With him we walk in white,
We in his image shine,
Our robes are robes of light,
Our righteousness divine:
On all the grov’ling kings of earth
With pity we look down,
And claim, in virtue of our birth,
A never-fading crown.
Ye simple souls, that stray

With Jesus crucified.

And gave Himself for me"?
2 O height I can not reach,
Oh depth I can not sound,
Oh love, O boundless love,
In my Redeemer found. [Refrain]

When living fires of love
Should on His altar burn. [Refrain]
4 I live—and yet, not I,
But Christ that lives in me;
Who from the law of sin
And death hath made me free. [Refrain] Used With Tune: KENOSIS Text Sources: Gospel Hymns and Sacred Songs, by Philip P. Bliss and Ira D. Sankey (Cincinnati/New York/Chicago: John Church/Biglow & Main, 1875)
He Loved Me
I Know That Jesus Keeps

Like billows o’er the soul;
I know that Jesus keeps,
That He has full control.
Refrain:
He keeps, He keeps, I know He does,
He holds me by His power;
He keeps, He saves, I know He does,
He’s with me every hour.
2 I will not fear the deeps
Of darkness nor of pain;
I know that Jesus keeps,
I shall see light again. [Refrain]
3 There’s for the eye that weeps,
A rest both sure and sweet;
I know that Jesus keeps,
I’ve found a safe retreat. [Refrain]
4 The death that onward creeps,
Has lost its sting for me;
I know that Jesus keeps,
His face at last I’ll see. [Refrain]
5 And when I’ve climbed the steeps
Of Heaven’s bright domain,
I’ll sing that Jesus keeps,
With all the spotless train. [Refrain] Used With Tune: ŌTA Text Sources: On Wings of Song by George Hugg (Philadelphia: George C. Hugg, 1896)
