The Love of Christ, Who Died for Me

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The love of Christ, who died for me Is more than mind can know, His mercy measureless and free To meet the debt I owe. He came my sinful cause to plead, He laid his glories by, For me a homeless life to lead, A shameful death to die. 2 My sins I only see in part, My self-regarding ways; The secret places of my heart Lie bare before his gaze. For me the price of sin he paid; My sins beyond recall Are all alike on Jesus laid, he died to bear them all. 3 O living Lord of life, for whom The heavens held their breath, To see, triumphant from the tomb, A love that conquers death, Possess my heart that it may be Your kingdom without end, O Christ who died for love of me And lives to be my friend.

Church of God, Elect and Glorious

Author: James E. Seddon, 1915-1983 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Church of God, elect and glorious, Holy nation, chosen race; Called as God’s own special people, Royal priests and heirs of grace: Know the purpose of your calling. Show to all his mighty deeds; Tell of love that knows no limits, Grace that meets all human needs. 2 God has called you out of darkness Into his most marv’lous light, Brought his truth to life within you, Turned your blindness into sight. Let your light so shine around you That God’s name is glorified And all find fresh hope and purpose In Christ Jesus crucified. 3 Once you were an alien people, Strangers to God’s heart of love; But he brought you home in mercy, Citizens of heav’n above. Let his love flow out to others; Let them feel a Father’s care; That they too may know his welcome And his countless blessings share. 4 Church of God, elect and holy, Be the people he intends; Strong in faith and swift to answer Each command your master sends: Royal priests, fulfill your calling Through your sacrifice and prayer; Give your lives in joyful service— Sing his praise, his love declare.

No Tramp of Soldiers' Marching Feet

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smtih, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 No tramp of soldiers’ marching feet With banners and with drums, No sound of music’s martial beat: “The King of glory comes!” To greet what pomp of kingly pride No bells in triumph ring, No city gates swing open wide: “Behold, behold your King!” 2 And yet he comes. The children cheer; With palms his path is strown. With ev’ry step the cross draws near: The King of glory’s throne. Astride a colt he passes by As loud hosannas ring, Or else the very stones would cry, “Behold, behold your King!” 3 What fading flow’rs his road adorn; The palms, how soon laid down! No bloom or leaf but only thorn The King of glory’s crown. The soldiers mock, the rabble cries. The streets with tumult ring, As Pilate to the mob replies, “Behold, behold your King!” 4 Now he who bore for mortals’ sake The cross and all its pains And chose a servant’s form to take, The King of glory reigns. Hosanna to the Savior’s name Till heaven’s rafters ring, And all the ransomed host proclaim, “Behold, behold your King!” Topics: Palm Sunday Used With Tune: NO TRAMP OF SOLDIERS’ MARCHING FEET
