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.

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!

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

No! I am His forever.

Ye pilgrims for Sion who press,
Break forth, and extol the great ancient of days,

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.

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.

Or give the Creator delight?
'Twas "even so, Father," you ever must sing,
"Because it seem'd good in thy sight."

While others were suffer'd to go,
The road which by nature we chose as our way,
Which leads to the regions of woe.

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

Shows himself the God of grace!

Jesu, thy mercies are untold
Author: Anonymous; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, thy mercies are untold
through each returning day;
thy love exceeds a thousandfold
whatever we can say.
2 That love which in thy passion drained
for us thy precious blood;
that love whereby the saints have gained
the vision of their God.
3 ’Tis thou hast loved us from the womb,
pure Source of all our bliss,
our only hope of life to come,
our happiness in this.
4 Lord, grant us, while on earth we stay,
thy love to feel and know;
and, when from hence we pass away,
to us thy glory show. Topics: General Hymns Faith, Hope and Love Used With Tune: ST FULBERT Text Sources: Cento from Jesu, dulcis memoria

Will You Be Mine?
Author: J. A. E. Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3 First Line: While broken-hearted, scarred with sin Lyrics: 1 While broken-hearted, scarred with sin,
While walking wretchedly in shame,
I felt a love that sought to win,
I heard a voice that called my name.
Yes, Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Gave me the greatest valentine:
He promised there to make me whole,
In love He asked, “Will you be Mine?”
2 He wooed me in such tender ways,
He promised to protect, provide,
His all He pledged with loving gaze,
That I should e’er with Him abide.
He gave me glimpses of His grace,
The splendors that around Him shine;
With ardent, longing, fervent face,
In love He asked, “Will you be Mine?”
3 Could I His offered love refuse?
Could I His yearning cast aside?
For I was asked, and I must choose:
A blackened soul or spotless bride.
To Him that bled to make me free
I could but say, “I will be Thine”;
Yes, Jesus shed His love on me,
Such love that asks, “Will you be Mine?”
4 Can I such wondrous love repay?
A thousand years can never earn
Such love as this; but this I may:
With all to love Him in return.
’Tis bliss to know I dwell within
The ocean of His love divine—
Such love that sought my heart to win,
Such love that asked, “Will you be Mine?”
5 Oh, weary one, can you not see?
The Son of God has called your name;
Ye lonely, listen to His plea,
For you, yes, even you He came.
He wants to fill your broken heart,
Your hurt to heal, do not decline;
To you He would His love impart—
In love He asks, “Will you be Mine?” Topics: Invitation Used With Tune: VALENTINE Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Will_You_Be_Mine)
