Here is Love, Vast as the Ocean
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) Here is love, vast as the ocean, Lovingkindness as the flood, When the Prince of Life, our Ransom, Shed for us His precious blood. Who His love will not remember? Who can cease to sing His praise? He can never be forgotten, Throughout Heav’n’s eternal days. On the mount of crucifixion, Fountains opened deep and wide; Through the floodgates of ...

All That Thrills My Soul Is Jesus
"And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord."—John 20:20 Who can cheer the heart like Jesus, By His presence all divine? True and tender, pure and precious, O how blest to call Him mine! Refrain: All that thrills my soul is Jesus; He is more than life to me; And the fairest of ten thousand In my blessed Lord I see. Love of Christ so freely given, Grace of ...

Hallelujah! What a Savior!
“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows.”—Isaiah 53:3 Man of Sorrows! what a name For the Son of God, who came Ruined sinners to reclaim. Hallelujah! What a Savior! Bearing shame and scoffing rude, In my place condemned He stood; Sealed my pardon with His blood. Hallelujah! What a Savior! Guilty, vile, and helpless we; Spotless Lamb of God was He; “Full atonement!” can it be? Hallelujah! What a Savior! Lifted up was He to die; “It is finished!” was His cry; Now in Heav’n exalted ...

I Asked The Lord That I Might Grow… But Why This?
“Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.”—Psalm 34:19 This hymn has been close to my heart lately, for it reflects much of life, mine as much as yours, I believe, reader. We pray for greater faith and growth in character and grace, but at the next moment we wonder why it seems that the opposite is granted to us? We are driven to trials, buffeting of temptations ...

Jesus Paid it All
I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small; Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.” Refrain Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow. For nothing good have I Whereby Thy grace to claim, I’ll wash my garments white In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb. Refrain And now complete in Him My robe His righteousness, Close sheltered ’neath His side, I am divinely blest. Refrain Lord, now indeed I find Thy power and Thine ...

Arise, My soul, Arise, Shake Off Your Guilty Fears!
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for ...

Begone Unbelief
“All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.”—Romans 8:28 Begone unbelief, my Savior is near, And for my relief will surely appear: By prayer let me wrestle, and He wilt perform, With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. Though dark be my way, since He is my Guide, ’Tis mine to obey, ’tis His to provide; Though cisterns be broken, and creatures all fail, The Word He ...

Our God, Our Help in Ages Past
“Lord, You have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.”—Psalm 90:1 Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home. Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure. Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same. Thy Word commands our flesh to dust, “Return, ye sons of men:” All nations ...

My Lord, I Did Not Choose You
“You did not choose Me, but I chose you.” —The Lord Jesus Christ, John 15:16 My Lord, I Did Not Choose You My Lord, I did not choose You, For that could never be; My heart would still refuse You, Had You not chosen me. You took the sin that stained me, You cleansed me, made me new; Of old You have ordained me, That I should live in You. Unless Your grace had called me And taught my op’ning mind, The world would have enthralled me, To heav’nly ...
