Hymn 64
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 350 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:1 First Line: Behold what wondrous grace Lyrics:
Behold what wondrous grace
The Father has bestowed
On sinners of a mortal race,
To call them sons of God!
'Tis no surprising thing
That we should be unknown;
The Jewish world knew not their king,
God's everlasting Son.
Nor doth it yet appear
How great we must be made;
But when we see our Savior here,
We shall be like our Head.
A hope so much divine
May trials well endure;
May purge our souls from sense and sin,
As Christ the Lord is pure.
If in my Father's love
I share a filial part,
Send down thy Spirit like a dove,
To rest upon my heart.
We would no longer lie
Like slaves beneath the throne;
My faith shall Abba, Father, cry,
And thou the kindred own.

and when from death I'm free, I'll sing and joyful be,
and through eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on,

What Wondrous Love Is This
Behold th' amazing gift of love
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:1-4 Lyrics:
Behold th’ amazing gift of love
the Father hath bestowed
On us, the sinful sons of men,
to call us sons of God!
Concealed as yet this honour lies,
by this dark world unknown,
A world that knew not when he came,
ev’n God’s eternal Son
High is the rank we now possess;
but higher we shall rise;
Though what we shall hereafter be
is hid from mortal eyes:
Our souls, we know, when he appears,
shall bear his image bright;
For all his glory, full disclosed,
shall open to our sight.
A hope so great, and so divine,
may trials well endure;
And purge the soul from sense and sin,
as Christ himself is pure.
Behold th' amazing gift of love

Once in royal David's city
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:2 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her Baby
in a manger for his bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall.
With the poor and meek and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love;
for that Child so dear and helpless
is our Lord in heaven above;
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone.
4 Not in that poor lowly stable,
with the oxen standing by,
we shall see him; but in heaven,
set at God's right hand on high,
where his children gather round,
bright like stars, with glory crowned. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany Used With Tune: IRBY

Christians the Sons of God
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 84 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:1 First Line: Not all the nobles of the earth Lyrics: 1 Not all the nobles of the earth,
Who boast the honors of their birth,
Such real dignity can claim,
As those who bear the christian name.
2 To them the privilege is giv'n
To be the sons and heirs of heav'n;
Sons of the God who reigns on high,
And heirs of joys beyond the sky.
3 [On them, a happy chosen race,
Their father pours his riches grace:
To them his counsels he imparts,
And stamps his image on their hearts.
4 Their infant-cries, their tender age,
His pity and his love engage:
He clasps them in his arms, and there
Secures them with parental care.]
5 His will he makes them early know,
And teaches their young feet to go;
Whispers instruction to their minds,
And on their hearts his precepts binds.
6 When, thro' temptation they rebel,
His chast'ning rode ne makes them feel
Then, with a father's tender heart,
He sooths the pain, and heals the smart.
7 Their daily wants his hands supply,
Their steps he guards with watchful eye,
Leads them from earth to heaven above,
And crowns them with eternal love.
8 If I've the honor, Lord, to be
One of this num'rous family,
On me the gracious gift bestow,
To call thee Abba, father! too.
9 So may my conduct ever prove
My filial piety and love!
Whilst all my brethren clearly trace
Their father's likeness in my face.

Would he devote that sacred head
for sinners such as I?

Amazing pity, grace unknown,
and love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
and shut its glories in,
when Christ, the mighty Maker, died
for his own creature's sin.

while his dear cross appears;
dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
and melt mine eyes to tears.

the debt of love I owe;

be thou my rod and staff and guide,
and draw me safely to thy side!

O Jesus, King most wonderful
Jesus, these eyes have never seen
Author: Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 240 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:2 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, these eyes have never seen
that radiant form of thine;
the veil of sense hangs dark between
thy blessèd face and mine.
2 I see thee not, I hear thee not,
yet art thou oft with me;
and earth hath ne'er so dear a spot
as where I meet with thee.
3 Yet, though I have not seen, and still
must rest in faith alone,
I love thee, dearest Lord, and will,
unseen, but not unknown.
4 When death these mortal eyes shall seal,
and still this throbbing heart,
the rending veil shall thee reveal
all glorious as thou art. Topics: Proper 17 Year C; Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Used With Tune: NUN DANKET ALL' (GRÄFENBERG)

At Calvary.

Then I trembled at the law I'd spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
To Calvary. (Chorus)

Now I gladly own Him as my King;
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary. (Chorus)

O, the mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary. (Chorus)

Jesu, Lord, to thee we raise,
manifested by the star
to the sages from afar;
branch of royal David's stem
in thy birth at Bethlehem:
anthems be to thee addrest,
God in man made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
and at Cana, wedding-guest
in thy Godhead manifest;
manifest in power divine,
changing water into wine:
anthems be to thee addrest,
God in man made manifest.
3 Manifest in making whole
palsied limbs and fainting soul;
manifest in valiant fight,
quelling all the devil's might;
manifest in gracious will,
ever bringing good from ill:
anthems be to thee addrest,
God in man made manifest.
4 Sun and moon shall darkened be,
stars shall fall, the heavens shall flee;
Christ will then like lightning shine,
all will see his glorious sign;
all will then the trumpet hear,
thou by all wilt be confest,
God in man made manifest.
5 Grant us grace to see thee, Lord,
mirrored in thy holy word;
may we imitate thee now,
and be pure, as pure art thou;
that we like to thee may be
at thy great Epiphany;
and may praise thee, ever blest,
God in man made manifest. Topics: Baptism of Christ Year A; Epiphany II Year A; Epiphany II Year B; Epiphany II Year C; Epiphany III Year B; Epiphany IV Year A Used With Tune: ST EDMUND

Wonderful Grace of Jesus
Author: Haldor Lillenas Meter: Irregular Appears in 104 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:1 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 for even me;
broader than the scope of my transgressions,
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 defiled,
by its transforming power
making me God’s dear child,
purchasing peace and heaven
for all eternity--
and the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. (Refrain)
