Loved with everlasting love
Author: George Wade Robinson (1838-1877) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Loved with everlasting love,
led by grace that love to know;
Spirit, breathing from above,
you have taught me it is so.
O what full and perfect peace,
joy and wonder all divine!
In a love which cannot cease
I am his, and he is mine.
2 Heaven above is softer blue,
earth around is richer green;
something lives in every hue,
Christless eyes have never seen:
songs of birds in sweetness grow,
flowers with deeper beauties shine,
since I know, as now I know,
I am his and he is mine.
3 His for ever, his alone!
Who the Lord from me shall part?
With what joy and peace unknown
Christ can fill the loving heart!
Heaven and earth may pass away,
sun and stars in gloom decline,
but of Christ I still shall say:
I am his and he is mine. Topics: Beauty; God in grace and mercy; God Love of; Trust and Confidence Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:8-13 Used With Tune: CALON LÂN

Calon lân yn llawn daioni,
Tecach yw na’r lili dlos:

Hedyn buan ganddo sydd;
Golud calon lân, rinweddol,
Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd. [Cytgan]

Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad,
Roddi i mi galon lân. [Cytgan] Languages: Welsh Tune Title: CALON LÂN

"Abba, Father," We Approach Thee
Author: James G. Deck, 1807-1884 Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs #2 (2018) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1. "Abba, Father," we approach thee
In our Savior’s precious name,
We, thy children, here assembled,
Now thy promised blessing claim.
From our sins his blood hath washed us,
’Tis through Him our souls draw nigh,
And thy Spirit, too, hath taught us,
"Abba, Father," thus to cry.
2. Once as prodigals we wandered
In our folly far from thee;
But thy grace, o’er sin abounding,
Rescued us from misery:
Thou thy prodigals hast pardoned,
Kissed us with a Father’s love,
Killed the fatted calf, and called us
E’er to dwell with thee above.
3. Clothed in garments of salvation,
At Thy table is our place;
We rejoice, and thou rejoicest,
In the riches of thy grace.
"It is meet," we hear thee saying,
"We should merry and be glad;
I have found My once lost children,
Now they live who once were dead!"
4. "Abba, Father!" all adore thee,
All rejoice in Heav’n above,
While in us they learn the wonders
Of Thy wisdom, grace, and love.
Soon before Thy throne assembled,
All thy children shall proclaim,
"Glory, everlasting glory,
Be to God and to the Lamb!" Topics: An Hymn; The Worship of God Tune Title: CALON LAN

Small Church Music
Editors: Francis H. Rowley Description:
History
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions.
About the Recordings All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs.
