And can it be that I should gain
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 299 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 10:19-22 Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain
an interest in the Saviour'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?
2 'Tis mystery all: the Immortal dies!
Who can explore his strange design?
In vain the first-born seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine.
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
let angel minds enquire 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!
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.
5 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 the eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. Topics: Lent IV Year B; Third Sunday Before Advent Year B Used With Tune: SAGINA

Lord, Teach Us How to Pray Aright
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 225 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 10:22 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with reverence and with fear;
though weak and sinful in your sight,
we may, we must draw near.
2 We perish if we cease from prayer;
O grant us power to pray;
and when to meet you we prepare,
Lord, meet us by the way.
3 O God of love, before your face
we come with contrite heart
to ask from you these gifts of grace--
truth in the inward part:
4 Faith in the only sacrifice
that can for sin atone;
to found our hopes, to fix our eyes,
on Christ, and Christ alone:
5 Patience to watch, and weep and wait,
whatever you may send;
courage that will not hesitate
to trust you to the end.
6 Give these, and then your will be done;
thus, strengthened with all might,
we through your Spirit and your Son,
shall pray, and pray aright.

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell (1811-1875) Meter: 12.10.12.10 Appears in 148 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 10:19-22 Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, His glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him; the Lord is his Name!
2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness;
high on his heart he will bear it for thee,
comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3 Fear not to enter his courts, in the slenderness
of the poor wealth thou canst reckon as thine;
truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness,
these are the offerings to lay on His shrine.
4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
he will accept for the Name that is dear,
mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.
5 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, His glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
