Loved with everlasting love
Author: George Wade Robinson (1838-1877) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 99 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

Better Far Than Life To Me
Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Like a vine whose tender branches Lyrics: 1 Like a vine whose tender branches
’Round the oak have learned to cling;
So my heart has found a shelter
In Thy love, O Lord, my king.
Refrain:
Day by day my lips shall offer
Grateful songs of praise to Thee;
For Thy wondrous lovingkindness,
Better far than life to me.
2 As a bird on pinions weary,
Trembling seeks its parent nest,
Came my spirit heavy laden
To its refuge on Thy breast. [Refrain]
3 In Thy precious lovingkindness
Shall my trusting soul abide,
From the arrows of oppression
Guarded safe on every side. [Refrain]
4 Higher than the hills that circle
’Round Thy throne in Heaven above,
Deeper than the mighty ocean
Is Thy vast eternal love. [Refrain] Used With Tune: CALON LÂN Text Sources: Windows of Heaven New Ed. by Henry M. Wharton, rev. by I. S. Field (Baltimore: National Evangelization Society, 1898)

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,343 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow thee;
Destitute, despis'd, forsaken,
Thou from hence my all shalt be.
Perish, ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought, and hop'd, and known;
Yet how rich is my condition;
God and Heav'n are still my own!
2. Let the world despise and leave me;
They have left my Savior, too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like them, untrue;
And while thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate, and friends may shun me;
Show thy face, and all is bright!
3. Go then, earthly fame and treasure!
Come, disaster, scorn, and pain!
In thy service, pain is pleasure;
With thy favor, loss is gain.
I have called thee Abba, Father;
I have stayed my heart on thee;
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather;
All must work for good to me.
4. Haste then on from grace to glory,
Arm'd by faith, and wing'd by pray'r;
Heav'n's eternal day before thee;
God's own hand shall guide me there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission;
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope soon change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and pray'r to praise. Topics: Ordinary Time Week 17 Scripture: Matthew 16:24-25 Used With Tune: CALON LAN

Christ Is Born of Blessed Mary
Author: Harriet M. Kimball Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Christ is born of blessed Mary! Lyrics: 1 Christ is born of blessed Mary!
Sing the wondrous life begun!
Man divine and God incarnate!
Israel, lo! thy Holy One!
Now fulfilled the prophet’s vision;
See the Child, the Lord of all,
Stripped, indeed, of heav’nly splendor,
Choosing for His couch a stall.
2 Thou, O Israel’s God and Savior,
Verily Thyself dost hide;
Clad in flesh, disguised in weakness,
All Thou hast by earth supplied.
Very God from everlasting
As a helpless babe revealed,
Mary’s breast Thy transient pillow,
Mary’s arms Thy only shield!
3 Wonderful, the seer proclaimed Thee,
Mighty God, and Prince of Peace,
King whose everlasting kingdom
Shall forevermore increase!
Yet no royal sign or title
Could Thy boundless grace declare
Like that name of endless sweetness
Thou for us alone dost bear.
4 Jesus!—Savior of His people!
Jesus!—Shepherd of His flock!
Well of life, and hidden manna;
Wayside strength, and tower of rock!
Jesus, see Thy church adoring
Prostrate at Thine infant feet,
Her Redeemer’s praise outpouring
In that name of names most sweet! Used With Tune: CALON LÂN Text Sources: The Blessed Company of All Faithful People (New York: Anson D. F. Randolph, 1879)

The Wonder of the Story
Author: Charles I. Junkin Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O the wonder of the story Lyrics: 1. O the wonder of the story
Of the night so long ago,
In the glimmer of the starlight
And the whiteness of the snow,
When the little Prince of Judah
In His beauty came to birth,
While the angels sang His glory
And His sweetness filled the earth!
2. O the wonder of the story,
Of the gladness none can tell,
When the shepherds saw the rising
Of the Star of Israel,
And a light from out the manger,
Reaching far and waxing strong
Till it touched the darkened shadows
And the world was wrapped in song!
3. O the wonder of the story,
Of the tender joy supreme!
O the mystery of loving
And the sweetness of the dream!
For the little head was pillowed
On a mother’s loving breast,
And the Father’s little children
They shall find the perfect rest! Used With Tune: CALON LÂN
