O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
Author: George Matheson Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 679 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3 Lyrics: 1 O love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2 O light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
4 O cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea;
'Twas not so much that I on thee took hold,
as thou, dear Lord, took hold on me.
'Twas not so much that I on thee took hold,
as thou, dear Lord, took hold on me.

of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee!
For thou wert long beforehand with my soul;
always, always thou lovedst me.
For thou wert long beforehand with my soul;
always, always thou lovedst me.

Jesus, lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,226 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide,
oh, receive my soul at last!
2 Other refuge have I none,
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenceless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
more than all in thee I find!
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin I am,
thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound,
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Penitence; God in grace and mercy Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

I Am His, and He Is Mine
Author: George W. Robinson Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 92 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3 First Line: Loved with everlasting love Lyrics: 1 Loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know,
Spirit, breathing from above, you hast taught me it is so:
O twhat full and perfect peace, joy and wonder all divine!
In a love which cannot cease, I am his, and he is mine.
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.
since I know, as now I know, I am his, and he is mine.
3 His forever, 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."
but of Christ I still shall say: "I am his, and he is mine."

Upon the new creation,
Where love is freedom’s law. [Refrain]

Has found eternal rest. [Refrain]

I've Found a Friend
Author: James G. Small Appears in 391 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3 First Line: I've found a Friend, O such a Friend! Lyrics: 1 I’ve found a Friend, O such a Friend!
He loved me ere I knew Him;
He drew me with the cords of love,
And thus He bound me to Him.
And round my heart still closely twine
Those ties which naught can sever,
For I am His and He is mine,
Forever and forever.
2 I’ve found a Friend, O such a Friend!
He bled, He died to save me;
And not alone the gift of life,
But His own self He gave me.
Naught that I have mine own I call,
I’ll hold it for the Giver;
My heart, my strength, my life, my all
Are His, and His forever.
3 I’ve found a Friend, O such a Friend!
So kind and true and tender,
So wise a Counsellor and Guide,
So mighty a Defender!
From Him who loves me now so well
What pow'r my soul can sever?
Shall life or death, or earth or hell?
No! I am His forever.

Distinguishing Grace
Appears in 94 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3 First Line: In songs of sublime adoration and praise Lyrics: 1 In songs of sublime adoration and praise,
Ye pilgrims for Sion who press,
Break forth, and extol the great ancient of days,
His rich and distinguishing grace.
2 His love from eternity fix'd upon you,
Broke forth and discover'd its flame,
And now with the cords of his kindness he draws,
And brings us to love his great name.
3 O had he not pitied the state you were in,
Your bosoms his love had ne'er felt,
You all would have liv'd, would have dy'd too in sin
And sunk with the load of our guilt.
4 What was there in man that could merit esteem,
Or give the Creator delight?
'Twas "even so, Father," you ever must sing,
"Because it seem'd good in thy sight."
5 'Twas all of thy grace we were bro't to obey
While others were suffer'd to go,
The road which by nature we chose as our way,
Which leads to the regions of woe.
6 Then give all the glory to his holy name;
To him all the glory belongs;
Be yours the high joys still to sound forth his fame,
And crown him in each of your songs. Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Salvation; Distinguishing efficacious grace; Salvation of sinners; Salvation by Grace
