More than human hearts can love,

Such a friend thou hast above.

Go, in trusting faith believing,
Cast thy burden on the Lord,
He has promised to receive thee—
Take thy Savior at His word.

Flowing at the cross so free?

Earthly joy can never give? [Refrain]

When with clouds thy sky is dim?
Go to Jesus; ask His mercy;
Lo, He calls thee, go to Him. [Refrain] Used With Tune: MEDAN Text Sources: Joy to the World, by John Sweney, Tullius C. O'Kane & C. C. McCabe (Cincinnati, Ohio: Hitchcock and Walden, 1879), number 3

Lord of Glory, You Have Bought Us
Author: Eliza S. Alderson, 1818-1889 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory, you have bought us
With your life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice;
And with that have freely given
Blessings countless as the sand
To the unthankful and the evil
With your own unsparing hand.
2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to give you
Gladly, freely, of your own.
With the sunshine of your goodness
Melt our thankless hearts of stone
Till our cold and selfish natures,
Warmed by you, at length believe
That more happy and more blessed
'Tis to give than to receive.
3 Wondrous honor you have given
To our humblest charity
In your own mysterious sentence,
"You have done it all to me."
Can it be, O gracious Master,
That you deign for alms to sue,
Saying by your poor and needy,
"Give as I have giv'n to you"?
4 Yes, the sorrow and the suff'rings
Which on ev'ry hand we view
Channels are for gifts and off'rings
Due by solemn right to you;
Right of which we may not rob you,
Debt we may not choose but pay,
Lest that face of love and pity
Turn from us another day.
4 Lord of glory, you have bought us
With Your life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice.
Give us faith to trust you boldly,
Hope, to stay our souls on you:
But, oh, best of all your graces,
With your love our love renew. Topics: Society; Lent 4 (Year A); Justification; Society Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

I Believe in God the Father
Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I believe in God the Father,
Who created Heav’n and earth;
Made the stars to shine so brightly,
Gave each living thing its birth.
I believe in God the Father,
And in Jesus Christ His Son,
Who was crucified on Calv’ry
For the sins that all have done.
2. I believe He died, was buried,
Rose again, no more to die;
And ascending to His Father,
Took His seat with Him on high.
I believe in God the Spirit,
Sent to us from Heav’n above,
And the Church our blessèd Savior
Hath redeemed by His great love.
3. I believe in His forgiveness,
And His wondrous power to save;
In a glorious resurrection,
And a life beyond the grave.
I believe in God the Father,
I believe in God the Son,
And in God the Holy Spirit,
Everlasting Three in One. Used With Tune: SEWARD

He Is Coming, He Is Coming
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1. He is coming, He is coming,
Not as once He came before,
Wailing Infant born in weakness
On a lowly stable floor;
But upon His cloud of glory,
In the crimson tinted sky,
Where we see the golden sunrise,
In the rosy distance lie.
2. He is coming, He is coming,
Not in pain, and shame, and woe,
With the thorn crown on His forehead,
And the blood drops trickling slow;
But with diadem upon Him,
And the scepter in His hand,
And the dead all ranged before Him,
Raised from death, hell, sea and land.
3. He is coming, He is coming,
Not as once He wandered through
All the hostile land of Judah,
With His followers poor and few;
But with all the holy angels
Waiting round His judgment seat,
And the chosen twelve Apostles,
Sitting crownèd at His feet.
4. He is coming, He is coming,
Let His lowly first estate,
And His tender love, so teach us
That in faith and hope we wait,
Till in glory eastward burning,
Our redemption draweth near,
And we see the sign in heaven
Of our Judge and Savior dear. Used With Tune: LUX EOI
He Is Coming, He Is Coming
Far Above in Highest Heaven
Author: W. H. Scott Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Far above in highest heaven,
Jesus reigns, our Lord and King;
He His life for us has given,
He did life eternal bring:
Sing, then, children, sing with gladness,
Loud let grateful anthems ring;
Jesus is the children’s Saviour,
Jesus is the children’s King.
2 Once on earth the children praised Him,
And “hosanna” was their cry;
Now that God to heav’n has raised Him,
Loud they praise Him in the sky:
Shout, then children, shout your praises,
Loud let grateful anthems ring;
Jesus is the children’s Saviour,
Jesus is the children’s King.
3 Come, then, early, come to Jesus,
As the children did of old:
He from sin and sorrow frees us,
Never will His love grow cold:
Daily let us learn to love Him,
Daily let us join to sing:
Praises to our Lord and Saviour,
Praises to the children’s King.
4 Then, when life’s short days are ended,
If we’ve served our Saviour well,
By His angels gently tended,
In His kingdom we shall dwell;
There we’ll shout our joyous praises,
There the song of vict’ry sing:
Jesus is our Lord and Saviour,
Jesus is the children’s King. Topics: Children's Day; Children's Day Used With Tune: CHILDREN'S KING
