Depth of mercy! Can there be

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 812 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! Can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Can my God His wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare? I have long withstood His grace, Long provoked Him to His face, Would not hearken to His calls, Grieved Him by a thousand falls. 2 Whence to me this waste of love? Ask my Advocate above; See the cause in Jesus' face. Now before the throne of grace. There for me the Saviour stands, Shows His wounds, and spread His hands; God is love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps, and loves me still! 3 Jesus, answer from above; Is not all Thy nature love? Wilt thou not the wrong forget, Suffering me to kiss Thy feet? If I rightly read Thy heart, If Thou all compassion art, Bow Thine ear, in mercy bow, Pardon and accept me now.

Go, Ye Messengers of God

Author: Joshua Marsden Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 122 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Go, ye messengers of God! Like the beams of morning fly, Take the wonder working rod, Wave the banner cross on high; Where the lofty minaret Gleams along the morning skies, Wave it till the crescent set, And the Star of Jacob rise! 2. Go to many a tropic isle In the bosom of the deep, Where the skies forever smile And the oppressed forever weep: O’er their gloomy night of care Pour the living light of Heaven; Chase away their dark despair, Bid them hope to be forgiven! 3. Where the golden gates of day Open on the palmy East, Wide the bleeding cross display, Spread the Gospel’s richest feast: Bear the tidings round the ball, Visit every soil and sea: Preach the cross of Christ to all, Jesus’ love is full and free!

See How Great a Flame Aspires

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 109 hymnals Lyrics: 1. See how great a flame aspires, Kindled by a spark of grace! Jesus’ love the nations fires, Sets the kingdoms on a blaze: To bring fire on earth He came; Kindled in some hearts it is: O that all might catch the flame, All partake the glorious bliss! 2. When He first the work begun, Small and feeble was His day: Now the word doth swiftly run; Now it wins its widening way: More and more it spread and grows, Ever mighty to prevail; Sin’s strongholds it now o’erthrows, Shakes the trembling gates of hell. 3. Sons of God, your Savior praise! He the door hath opened wide! He hath given the word of grace, Jesus’ word is glorified; Jesus, mighty to redeem, He alone the work hath wrought; Worthy is the work of Him, Him who spake a world from naught. 4. Saw ye not the cloud arise, Little as a human hand? Now it spreads along the skies, Hangs o’er all the thirsty land: Lo! the promise of a shower Drops already from above; But the Lord will shortly pour All the spirit of His love.
