Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 285 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:9-10 Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior's blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
2 He left His Father's throne above:
So free, so infinite His grace!
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam's helpless race.
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For O, my God, it found out me!
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For O, my God, it found out me!
3 Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature's night.
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray.
I woke; the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, my heart was free:
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
My chains fell off, my heart was free:
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
4 No condemnation now I dread:
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine.
Bold I approach th'eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ, my own.
Bold I approach th'eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ, my own. Topics: The Christian Life Love; Love Used With Tune: SAGINA

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died
Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:6-15 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
of him who died upon the cross;
the sinner's hope let sin deride;
for this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
in shining letters, "God is love."
He bears our sins upon the tree;
he brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross -- it takes our guilt away;
it holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens every bitter cup;
4 it makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for fight;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light.
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heaven above. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: BOW BRICKHILL

his voice, who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart

then you shall better know his love, his heart,
who comes to soothe your sorrow, calm your fears.
Be still, my soul: for Jesus can repay
from his own fullness all he takes away.

when we shall be for ever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
sorrow forgotten, love's pure joy restored.

all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last. Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

Nature with open volume stands
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 146 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:9-15 Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands
to spread her maker's praise abroad;
and every labour of his hands
shows something worthy of a God.
2 But in the grace that rescued us,
his brightest form of glory shines;
here, on the cross, 'tis fairest drawn
in precious blood, and crimson lines.
3 Here his whole name appears complete:
nor wit can guess, nor reason prove,
which of the letters best is writ,
the power, the wisdom, or the love.
4 O the sweet wonders of that cross
where God the Saviour loved, and died!
Her noblest life my spirit draws
from his dear wounds, and bleeding side.
5 I would for ever speak his name
in sounds to mortal ears unknown,
with angels join to praise the Lamb,
and worship at his Father's throne.
