Ask ye what great thing I know

Author: Rev. Benjamin H. Kennedy; Rev. Johann C. Schwedler (1672-1730) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #312 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Ask ye what great thing I know That delights and stirs me so? What the high reward I win? Whose the name I glory in? Jesus Christ, the Crucified. 2 Who defeats my fiercest foes? Who consoles my saddest woes? Who revives my fainting heart, Healing all its hidden smart? Jesus Christ, the Crucified. 3 Who is life in life to me? Who the death of death will be? Who will place me on His right, With the countless hosts of light? Jesus Christ, the Crucified. 4 This is that great thing I know; This delights and stirs me so: Faith in Him who died to save, Him who triumphed o'er the grave, Jesus Christ, the Crucified. Amen.

My God, I love Thee; not because

Author: Rev. Edward Caswall; Francis Xavier Hymnal: HPAG1933 #313 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby, Nor yet because who love Thee not Must die eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me Upon the cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace; 3 Yea, griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony, E'en death itself didst bear for one Who was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessèd Jesus Christ, Should I not love thee well? Not for the sake of winning heaven, Nor of escaping hell. 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught, Not seeking a reward; But as Thyself hast lovèd me, O everlasting Lord! 6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing; Solely because Thou art my God And my Eternal King. Amen. Topics: The Life in Christ Love and Communion; Christ Call, Answering Christ's; Christ Praise to Christ; Love and Communion Tune Title: SOLOMON

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me

Thine wholly, Thine alone, I'd live, Myself to Thee entirely give. 2 O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but Thy pure love alone; O may Thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown! All coldness from my heart remove; May every act, word, thought, be love. 3 O Love, how gracious is Thy way! All fear before Thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er Thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee. Amen.

Author: Rev. Ralph Wardlaw Hymnal: HPAG1933 #316 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ, of all my hopes the Ground, Christ, the Spring of all my joy, Still in Thee may I be found, Still for Thee my powers employ, Still for Thee my powers employ. 2 Let Thy love my heart inflame; Keep Thy fear before my sight; Be Thy praise my highest aim; Be Thy smile my chief delight, Be Thy smile my chief delight. 3 Fountain of o'erflowing grace, Freely from Thy fullness give; Till I close my earthly race, May I prove it Christ to live, May I prove it Christ to live. 4 Firmly trusting in Thy blood, Nothing shall my heart confound; Safely I shall pass the flood, Safely reach Emmanuel's ground, Safely reach Emmanuel's ground. 5 Thus, O thus, an entrance give To the land of cloudless sky; Having known it Christ to live, Let me know it gain to die, Let me know it gain to die.

Trust God; and He'll employ His aid for thee, and change these sighs To thankful hymns of joy. 4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Hope still; and thou shalt sing The praise of Him who is thy God, Thy health's eternal Spring. Amen.

Thou Life within my life, than self more near

Author: Eliza Scudder Hymnal: HPAG1933 #320 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Thou life within my life, than self more near, Thou veiled Presence infinitely clear, From all illusive shows of sense I flee, To find my center and my rest in Thee. 2 Below all depths Thy saving mercy lies, Through thickest gloom I see Thy light arise, Above the highest heaven Thou art not found More surely than within this earthly round. 3 Take part with me against those doubts that rise And seek to throne Thee far in distant skies; Take part with me against this self that dares Assume the burden of these sins and cares. 4 How shall I call Thee who art always here? How shall I praise Thee who art still most dear? What may I give Thee save what Thou hast given, And whom but Thee have I in earth or heaven? Amen.
