Create in Me a Clean Heart
And can it be that I should gain
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 299 hymnals Topics: Lent Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain
God's riches through the Saviour's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain?
For me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
that thou, my God, should'st die for me?
Amazing love! how can it be
that thou, my God, should'st die for me?
2 'Tis mystery all! the Immortal dies;
who can explore his strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine.
'Tis mercy all! let earth adore;
let angel minds inquire no more.
'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, O my God, it found out me.
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
for, O my God, it found out me.
4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night;
thine eye diffused a quickening ray;
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
my chains fell off; my heart was free.
I rose, went forth and followed thee.
My chains fell off; my heart was free.
I rose, went forth and followed thee.
5 No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in him, is mine;
alive in him, my living head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own.
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. Scripture: Acts 22:8 Used With Tune: SAGINA

Sweeter, O Lord, Than Rest to You
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Lent Lyrics: 1. Sweeter, O Lord, than rest to you,
While seated by the well,
Was your own task of love, to all
Of grace and peace peace to tell.
One tho'tless heart, who never knew
The pulse of life before,
There learned to love, was taught to sigh
For earthly joy no more.
2. Friend of the lost, O Lord, in you
Samaria's daughter there
Found One whom love had drawn to Earth,
Her weight of guilt to bear.
Fair witness of your saving grace,
In her, O Lord, we view
The wand'ring soul by love subdued,
The sinner drawn to you.
3. Thru' all that sweet and blessed scene,
Dear Savior, by the well,
More than enough the trembler finds,
Her guilty fears to quell.
There, in the full repose of faith,
The soul delights to view,
Not only One who deeply loves,
But Love itself in you. Scripture: John 4:1-26 Used With Tune: EVAN II
Sweeter, O Lord, Than Rest to You

Come, Sing a Song of Harvest
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, sing a song of harvest,
Of thanks for daily food!
to offer God the firstfruits
Is old as gratitude.
2 Shall we, sometimes forgetful
Of where creation starts,
View science as our savior,
Lose wonder from our hearts?
3 May God, the great Creator,
To whom all life belongs,
Accept these gifts we offer,
Our service and our songs.
4 And lest the world go hungry
While we ourselves are fed,
Make each of us more ready
To share our daily bread.
Come, Sing a Song of Harvest
