O Christ, Thy love Unbounded

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ, Thy love unbounded, So full, so sweet, so free, Leaves all our thoughts confounded, Whene'er we think of Thee. For us Thou cam'st from heaven, For us didst bleed and die, That, ransomed and forgiven, We might ascend on high. 2 We know that Thou hast bought us, And washed us in Thy blood: We know Thy grace hath brought us As kings and priests to God. We know the blessèd morning, Long looked for, draweth near, When we, at Thy returning, In glory shall appear. 3 O let Thy love constrain us To give our hearts to Thee; Let nothing please or pain us, Apart, O Lord, for Thee; Our joy, our one endeavor, Through suffering, conflict, shame, To serve Thee, gracious Saviour, And magnify Thy Name.

If God Himself Be for Me

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Richard Massie Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1 If God Himself be for me, I may a host defy; For when I pray, before me My foes confounded fly. If Christ, the Head, befriend me, If God be my support, The mischief they intend me Shall quickly come to naught. 2 I build on this foundation, That Jesus and His Blood Alone are my Salvation, The true Eternal Good; Without Him, all that pleases Is valueless on earth; The gifts I owe to Jesus Alone my love are worth. 3 His Holy Spirit dwelleth Within my willing heart, Tames it when it rebelleth, And soothes the keenest smart. He crowns His work with blessing, And helpeth me to cry "My Father." without ceasing, To Him who reigns on high. 4 To mine His Spirit speaketh Sweet words of soothing power, How God for Him that seeketh For rest hath rest in store; How God Himself prepareth My heritage and lot, And, though my body weareth, My heaven shall fail me not.

Th'atoning blood now marks our door, Faith points to it, death passes o'er, He nevermore can harm us. 3 So let us keep the festival Whereto the Lord invites us; Christ is Himself the Joy of all, The Sun which warms and lights us: And by His grace He doth impart Eternal sunshine to the heart; The night of sin is ended. Hallelujah! 4 Then let us feast this Easter day On the true Bread of heaven; The Word of grade hath purged away The old and wicked leaven: For Christ alone our souls will feed, He is our meat and drink indeed; Faith lives upon no other.
