Jesus, My Lord, How Rich Thy Grace
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 190 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Lord, how rich thy grace;
thy bounties, how complete!
How shall I count the matchless sum,
or pay the mighty debt?
2 High on a throne of radiant light
dost thou exalted shine;
what can my poverty bestow,
when all the worlds are thine?
3 But lo, our world's forgotten poor
are partners of thy grace;
thou wilt confess their humble names
before thy Father's face.
4 In them thou may'st be clothed and fed,
and visited and cheered,
and in their accents of distress
my Savior's voice is heard.
5 Thy face with rev'rence and with love
I in thy poor would see;
O let me rather beg my bread
than hold it back from thee. Topics: Jesus Christ Grace; Needy Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Used With Tune: GEORGETOWN
Jesus, My Lord, How Rich Thy Grace
They cast their nets in Galilee
Author: William Alexander Percy, 1885-1942 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 They cast their nets in Galilee
just off the hills of brown;
such happy, simple fisher-folk,
before the Lord came down.
2 Contented, peaceful fishermen,
before they ever knew
the peace of God that filled their hearts
brimful, and broke them too.
3 Young John who trimmed the flapping sail,
homeless, in Patmos died.
Peter, who hauled the teeming net,
head-down was crucified.
4 The peace of God, it is no peace,
but strife closed in the sod.
Yet let us pray for but one thing-
the marvelous peace of God. Topics: The Christian Life Used With Tune: GEORGETOWN
