Wonderful Grace of Jesus
Author: Haldor Lillenas Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.12 with refrain Appears in 103 hymnals Refrain First Line: Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Wonderful grace of Jesus,
greater than all my sin;
how shall my tongue describe it,
where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden,
setting my spirit free,
for the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Refrain:
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
deeper than the mighty rolling sea,
higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain,
all sufficient grace for even me;
broader than the scope of my transgressions, sing it!
greater far than all my sin and shame.
O magnify the precious name of Jesus, praise his name!
2 Wonderful grace of Jesus,
reaching to all the lost,
by it I have been pardoned,
saved to the uttermost.
Chains have been torn asunder,
giving me liberty,
for the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. [Refrain]
3 Wonderful grace of Jesus,
reaching the most reviled,
by its transforming power
making me God’s dear child,
purchasing peace and heaven
for all eternity,
for the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. [Refrain] Topics: Atonement; Confessing Faith; Grace; Liberation; Name of Jesus; Salvation Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: WONDERFUL GRACE Text Sources: Northfield Hymnal No. 3, 1918

Nearer, My God, to Thee
Author: Sarah Flower Adams; Erhardt Friedrich Wunderlich Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Appears in 2,487 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
E’en though it be a cross
that raiseth me;
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
2 Though like the wanderer,
the sun gone down,
darkness be over me,
my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I’d be
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
3 There let the way appear
steps unto heav’n;
all that thou sendest me
in mercy giv’n;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
4 Then, with my waking thoughts
bright with thy praise,
out of my stony griefs,
Bethel I’ll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
5 Or if on joyful wing,
cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot,
upward I fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
1 Näher, mein Gott, zu dir,
näher zu dir!

drohet man mir,
soll doch trotz Kreuz und Pein,
dies meine Losung sein:
Näher, mein Gott, zu dir!
Näher zu dir!
2 Bricht mir, wie Jakob dort,
Nacht auch herein,
find ich zum Ruheort
nur einen Stein,
ist auch im Traume hier
mein Sehnen für und für: …
3 Geht auch die schmale Bahn
aufwärts gar steil,
führt sie doch himmelan
zu unserm Heil.
Engel, so licht und schön,
winken aus selgen Höhn. …
4 Ist dann die Nacht vorbei,
leuchtet die Sonn,
weih ich mich dir aufs Neu
vor deinem Thron,
baue mein Bethel dir
und jauchz mit Freuden hier: …
5 Ist mir auch ganz verhüllt
dein Weg allhier,
wird nur mein Wunsch erfüllt:
näher zu dir!
Schließt dann mein Pilgerlauf,
schwing ich mich freudig auf, … Topics: Comfort; Darkness and Light; Discipleship; Funeral / Memorial Service; Heaven; Protection Scripture: Genesis 28:10-22 Used With Tune: BETHANY

time for me will be no more;
guide me gently, safely o’er

let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

as with joy they hailed its light,
leading onward, beaming bright;

Savior, to thy lowly bed,
there to bend the knee before
thee whom heav’n and earth adore;
so may we with willing feet
ever seek thy mercy seat.

at thy cradle rude and bare,
so may we with holy joy,
pure and free from sin’s alloy,
all our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to thee, our heav’nly king.

keep us in the narrow way,
and, when earthly things are past,

O Love, How Deep, How Broad
Author: Thomas à Kempis; Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals First Line: O love, how deep, how broad, how high! Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high!
It fills the heart with ecstasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals’ sake.
2 For us he was baptized and bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore.
For us temptation sharp he knew,
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us his daily works he wrought,
by words and signs and actions thus
still seeking not himself but us.
4 For us to wicked hands betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death,
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 Eternal glory to our God
for love so deep, so high, so broad;
the Trinity whom we adore
forever and forevermore.
