And Can It Be That I Should Gain?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 285 hymnals Matching Instances: 84 First Line: And can it be that I should gain 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. ’Tis mystery all: th’Immortal dies: Who can explore His strange design? In vain the firstborn seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine. ’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, Let angel minds inquire no more. ’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore; Let angel minds inquire no more. 3. 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! 4. 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. 5. Still the small inward voice I hear, That whispers all my sins forgiven; Still the atoning blood is near, That quenched the wrath of hostile Heaven. I feel the life His wounds impart; I feel the Savior in my heart. I feel the life His wounds impart; I feel the Savior in my heart. 6. 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. Used With Tune: SAGINA Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns, 1738

怎能如此，像我這樣罪人， (And can it be that I should gain)

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 怎能如此──像我這樣罪人，也蒙寶血救贖大恩？主為我受痛苦鞭傷，也為我死在十架上？奇異的愛，怎能如此──我主我神為我受死？何等奇妙！永生主竟受死！有誰能解釋這奧祕？神聖之愛，廣闊深長，最高天使也難測量，上主憐憫，超過猜想，世人都當敬拜景仰。我主離開天上寶座榮華。無量恩惠白白賜下，謙卑虛已，顯彰慈愛，流血救贖亞當後代，恩典憐愛，無邊無涯，罪人像我，竟蒙厚愛。我靈受困，多年在牢獄中；被罪包圍，黑暗重重；主眼發出復活榮光，我靈甦醒，滿室光明！枷鎖脫落，心靈獲釋，我就起來跟隨主行。不再定罪，心中除盡憂愁；我擁有主並祂所有。主內生活讓祂居首，穿起義袍聖潔無垢；坦然無懼到寶座前，藉主救贖，獲得冠冕。副歌：奇異的愛，怎能如此，我主我神，竟為我死！ Used With Tune: SAGINA

Behold the Servant of the Lord

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Behold the servant of the Lord! I wait Thy guiding eye to feel, To hear and keep Thy every word, To prove and do Thy perfect will, Joyful from my own works to cease, Glad to fulfill all righteousness. 2. Me if Thy grace vouchsafe to use, Meanest of all Thy creatures, me, The deed, the time, the manner choose, Let all my fruit be found of Thee; Let all my works in Thee be wrought, By Thee to full perfection brought. 3. My every weak, though good design, O’errule, or change, as seems Thee meet; Jesus, let all my work be Thine! Thy work, O Lord, is all complete, And pleasing in Thy Father’s sight; Thou only hast done all things right. 4. Here then to Thee Thy own I leave; Mold as Thou wilt Thy passive clay; But let me all Thy stamp receive, But let me all Thy words obey, Serve with a single heart and eye, And to Thy glory live and die.

Faith Means We're Sure

Author: Susan H. Peterson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Faith means we're sure of what we hope to get Lyrics: 1. Faith means we’re sure of what we hope to get; We’re certain of the things that we do not see. By faith we know that God made the world; What’s here now was not made from what was seen. Abel by faith offered God a better sacrifice; And Enoch, too, by faith died not, but from this life did rise. Though they are gone, they speak this word: That without faith, none can please the Lord. 2. It was by faith that Noah built the ark, When warned by God of things that were yet to pass. Since he had faith, God did spare his life, And made him an heir of His righteousness. Abraham, too, when God said to leave his home behind, Obeyed and went, though he knew not the land he was to find. Though they are gone, they speak this word: That without faith, none can please the Lord. 3. It was by faith that Abr’ham had a son, Then offered him to God as a sacrifice. Faith upheld Moses in Egypt’s land, And faith let a lamb pay the firstborn’s price. By faith the people passed through the sea as on dry land, And faith was why the walls of Jericho just could not stand. Though they are gone, they speak this word: That without faith, none can please the Lord. 4. All these still lived by faith until they died, Receiving not the things that had been made known. They only saw them as from afar; They knew that their country was not their own. God therefore was not ashamed to be named as their Lord; For they believed that He was real and would their faith reward. Oh, give me faith to trust Your Word, That by my life I may please You, Lord.

How Shall the Young Direct Their Way?

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. How shall the young direct their way? What light shall be their perfect guide? Thy Word, O Lord, will safely lead, If in its wisdom they confide. Sincerely I have sought Thee, Lord, O let me not from Thee depart; To know Thy will and keep from sin Thy Word I cherish in my heart. 2. O blessèd Lord, teach me Thy law, Thy righteous judgments I declare; Thy testimonies make me glad, For they are wealth beyond compare. Upon Thy precepts and Thy ways My heart will meditate with awe; Thy Word shall be my chief delight, And I will not forget Thy law.

A Last Prayer

Author: Helen Hunt Jackson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Father, I scarcely dare to pray Lyrics: 1. Father, I scarcely dare to pray, So clear I see, now it is done, How I have wasted half my day, And left my work but just begun. So clear I see that things I thought Were right or harmless were a sin; So clear I see that I have sought, Unconscious, selfish aims to win. 2. So clear I see that I have hurt The souls I might have helped to save; That I have slothful been, inert, Deaf to the calls Thy leaders gave. In outskirts of Thy kingdoms vast Father, the humblest spot give me; Set me the lowliest task Thou hast, Let me repentant work for Thee. Used With Tune: SAGINA

Modern Christianity

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: How vainly do the heathen strive Lyrics: 1. How vainly do the heathen strive To falsify our Master’s word, Who teach us that we may godly live Yet never suffer for our Lord; In ancient times the fact allow, But say, the world is Christian now. 2. Christian the world of drunkards is, The world of whoremongers and thieves, The slaves of foul and fair excess; Whoe’er the Christian rite receives, Led from the font at Satan’s will, Haters of Christ, and Christians still. 3. The devilish, and the sensual crowd, Who as brute beasts their lusts obey, Lovers of pleasure more than God, Who dance, and curse, and fight and play, Monsters of vice, our nature’s shame, All hell assumes the Christian name. 4. Yet still when Antichrist prevails, And Satan sits in Moses’ chair, The Gospel truths are idle tales, No cross, no Holy Ghost is there, The heathen world will Christian seem, And bid us take the rule from them. 5. The temple of the Lord are we, (The synagogue of Satan cry) We need not persecuted be Or cruelly ourselves deny: Come see, ye fools, who sigh and grieve, How much at ease we Christians live. 6. We are the men—of wealth and state, Of pomp, and fashionable ease, Honor, and power, and pleasure wait The silken sons of downy peace; And lo! we glide secure and even Down a broad flowery way—to Heaven. 7. While house to house, and field to field, And living we to living join The gazing crowd obeisance yield And praise the slick and smooth Divine Who saves them all the madman’s care, The drudgery of faith, and prayer. 8. No fanciful enthusiasts we To look for inspiration here, To dream from sin to be set free Or hope to feel the Spirit near, Or know our sins on earth forgiven, Or madly give up all for Heaven!
