You took the sin that stained me, you cleansed me, made me new; of old you have ordained me, that I should live in you. 2 Unless your grace had called me and taught my opening mind, the world would have enthralled me, to heavenly glories blind. My heart knows none above you; for your rich grace I thirst. I know that if I love you, you must have loved me first.

One There Is, above All Others

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 687 hymnals Scripture: John 15:14 Lyrics: 1 One there is, above all others, well deserves the name of Friend; his is love beyond a brother's, costly, free, and knows no end. They who once his kindness prove find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, could or would have shed his blood? But our Jesus died to have us reconciled in him to God. This was boundless love indeed; Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When he lived on earth abased, "Friend of sinners" was his name; Now above all glory raised, he rejoices in the same; still he calls them brethren, friends, and to all their wants attends. 4 Could we bear from one another what he daily bears from us? Yet this glorious Friend and Brother loves us though we treat him thus: though for good we render ill, he accounts us brethren still. 5 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love, we, alas! forget too often what a Friend we have above: but when home our souls are brought, we will love you as we ought.

Teach us to care for people, for all, not just for some, to love them as we find them, or as they may become. 3 Let your acceptance change us, so that we may be moved in living situations to do the truth in love; to practice your acceptance, until we know by heart the table of forgiveness and laughter's healing art. 4 Lord, for today's encounters with all who are in need, who hunger for acceptance, for righteousness and bread, we need new eyes for seeing, new hands for holding on; renew us with your Spirit; Lord, free us, make us one!

O who am I, that for my sake My Lord should take frail flesh and die? 2 He came from his blest throne Salvation to bestow; But men made strange, and none The longed-for Christ would know. But, oh, my Friend, my Friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew His way, And His sweet praises sing; Resounding all the way Hosannas to their King: Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, And for His death they thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He mad the lame to run, He gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! is all their breath, Themselves displease and 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise, and needs will have My dear Lord made away; A murderer they saved, The Prince of life they slay, Yet cheerful He to suff'ring goes, That He His foes from thence might free.
