Behold the Lamb of God

Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-94 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #101 (1993) Meter: 6.6.6.4.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 Behold the Lamb of God For guilty sinners slain; Let it not be in vain That you have died! You for my Savior let me take; My only refuge let me make Your pierced side. 2 Behold the Lamb of God! Into the sacred flood Of your most precious blood My soul I cast. Wash me and make me pure and clean; Uphold me through life's changing scene Till all is past. 3 Behold the Lamb of God! All hail, incarnate Word! O everlasting Lord, Purge out our leav'n. Clothe us with godliness and good; Feed us with your celestial food, Manna from heav'n. 4 Behold the Lamb of God! Worthy is he alone To sit upon the throne Of God above, One with the Ancient of all days, One with the Comforter in praise, All light, all love!

O spring of lasting peace, O living water, come, Spring up and never cease. Love of the living God, Of Father and of Son, Love of the Holy Ghost, Make now our hearts as one.

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman, c. 1624-83 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #110 (1993) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, My Savior's love to me, Love to the loveless shown That they might lovely be. Oh, 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 such disdain! So few 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 day Hosannas to their King. Then "Crucify!" Is all their breath, And for his death They thirst and cry. 4 Why? What has my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run; He gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these Themselves displease And 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise and needs will have My dear Lord made away. A murderer they save; The Prince of life they slay. Yet cheerful he To suff'ring goes That he his foes From death might free. 6 In life no house, no home My Lord on earth might have; In death no friendly tomb But what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heav'n was his home But mine the tomb Wherein he lay. 7 Here might I stay and sing; No story so divine, Never was love, dear King, Never was grief like thine. This is my friend, In whose sweet praise I all my days Could gladly spend! Topics: Lent; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

Christ Is Our Cornerstone

Author: John Chandler, 1806-76 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #528 (1993) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: 1 Christ is our cornerstone; On him alone we build. With his true saints alone The courts of heav'n are filled. On his great love Our hopes we place Of present grace And joys above. 2 Oh, then, with hymns of praise These hallowed courts shall ring! Our voices we will raise The Three in One to sing And thus proclaim In joyful song, Both loud and long, That glorious name. 3 Here, gracious God, do now And evermore draw near; Accept each faithful vow And all your children hear, And more and more On those who pray Each holy day Your blessing pour. 4 Here may we gain from heav'n The grace which we implore, And may that grace, once giv'n, Be with us evermore Until that day When all the blest To endless rest Are called away!

Our thanks we bring; In joy and praise Our hearts we raise To heav'n's high King. 2 The nation you have blessed May well your love declare, From foes and fears at rest, Protected by your care. For this fair land, For this bright day Our thanks we pay -- Gifts of your hand. 3 May ev'ry mountain height, Each vale and forest green, Shine in your Word's pure light And its rich fruits be seen! May ev'ry tongue Be tuned to praise And join to raise A grateful song! 4 Earth, hear your Maker's voice; Your great Redeemer own. Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship him alone. Cast down your pride! Your sin deplore And bow before The Crucified! 5 And when in pow'r he comes, Oh, may our native land From all its rending tombs Send forth a glorious band, A countless throng, And, joyful, sing To heav'n's high King Salvation's song!

Thou my Savior art! Thou my Savior art! 2 Come from on high to me; I cannot rise to thee. Cheer my wearied spirit, O pure and holy Child; Through thy grace and merit, Blest Jesus, Lord most mild, Draw me unto thee! Draw me unto thee! 3 Now through his Son doth shine The Father's grace divine. Death o'er us had reigned Through sin and vanity; He for us obtained Eternal joy on high. May we praise him there! May we praise him there! 4 Oh, where shall joy be found? Where but on heav'nly ground? Where the angels singing With all his saints unite, Sweetest praises bringing In heav'nly joy and light. Oh, that we were there! Oh, that we were there! Topics: Christmas; Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: IN DULCI JUBILO

God's Own Son Most Holy

Author: Johann Horn, c. 1490-1547; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #17 (1993) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 God's own Son most holy Came a servant lowly, Came to live among us, Came to suffer for us, Bore the cross to save us, Hope and freedom gave us. 2 Still he comes within us; Still his voice would win us From the sins that hurt us, Would to truth convert us From our foolish errors Ere he comes in terrors. 3 Thus, if we have known him And will not disown him Nor have loved him coldly But will trust him boldly, He will then receive us, Heal us, and forgive us. 4 Those who then are loyal Find a welcome royal. Come, then, O Lord Jesus, From our sins release us. Let us here confess you Till in heav'n we bless you. Topics: Advent; Advent Languages: English Tune Title: GOTTES SOHN IST KOMMEN

I Gave My Life for Thee

Author: Frances R. Havergal, 1836-79 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #454 (1993) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 I gave my life for thee; My precious blood I shed That thou might'st ransomed be And quickened from the dead. I gave my life for thee; Come, give thyself to me! 2 My Father's home of light, My rainbow-circled throne, I left for earthly night, For wand'rings sad and lone. I left it all for thee; Come now and follow me! 3 I spent long years for thee In weariness and woe That an eternity Of joy thou mightest know. I spent long years for thee; Come, spend thy years for me. 4 I suffered much for thee, More than my tongue may tell, Of bitt'rest agony, To rescue thee from hell. I suffered much for thee; Come, bear thy cross with me. 5 And I have brought to thee Down from my home above Salvation full and free, My pardon and my love. Great gifts I brought for thee; Come, bring thy gifts to me. 6 Oh, let thy life be spent, Thy years for me be giv'n, As I for thee was sent To bear thee home to heav'n. I gave my life for thee; Come, give thy life to me. Topics: Commitment; Commitment Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 120TH

My Maker, Be with Me

Author: Johann J. Rambach, 1893-1735; R. E. Taylor, d. 1938 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #598 (1993) Meter: 6.6.6.6.7.7.7.7.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My Maker, be with me The light of life to give, And guide me patiently While here on earth I live. To you my heart I tender And all my pow'rs surrender; Make it my one endeavor To love and serve you ever. Help me your loving care to see; My Maker, be with me. 2 My Savior, wash me clean With your most precious blood, That takes away all sin And seals my peace with God. My soul will rest securely, For you still love me dearly; Now I find full salvation And freedom from damnation. Without you, lost, defiled by sin, My Savior, wash me clean. 3 My Comforter, give pow'r That I may stand secure When in temptation's hour The world and sin allure. The Son to me revealing, Inspire my thought and feeling, His Word of grace to ponder Nor let me from him wander. On me your gifts and graces show'r: My Comforter, give pow'r. 4 O Holy Trinity, To whom I all things owe, Your presence graciously Within my heart bestow. Though I am weak and lowly, I am your temple holy. My praise shall rise unending For grace so condescending. Oh, heav'nly bliss, your own to be, O Holy Trinity!
