• [1Jo 4:8] Amid The Splendors Of Thy State

  Amid the splendors of Thy state, My God, Thy love appears With the soft radiance of the moon Among a thousand stars. Nature through all her ample round Thy boundless power proclaims, And in melodious accent, speaks The goodness of Thy names. Thy justice, holiness, and truth, Our solemn awe excite; But the sweet charms of sovereign grace O’erwhelm us with delight. Sinai, in clouds, and smoke, and fire, Thunders Thy dreadful Name; But Sion sings, in melting notes, The honors of the Lamb. In all Thy doctrine and commands, Thy counsels and designs, In every work Thy hands have framed, Thy love supremely shines. Angels and men the news proclaim, Through earth and Heaven above, The joyful and transporting news, That God the Lord is love!

  Dear Christian people all, rejoice, Each soul with joy upraising. Pour forth a song with heart and voice, With love and gladness singing. Give thanks to God, our Lord above, Thanks for His miracle of love! Dearly He hath redeemed us. He spoke to His belovèd Son With infinite compassion: “Go hence, my heart’s most precious One, Be to the lost Salvation; Death, his relentless tyrant, stay, And bear him from his sins away With Thee to live forever!” The Son came, saying: “Cling to Me, Thy sorrows now are ending; Freely I give Myself to thee, Thy life with Mine defending; For I am thine and thou art Mine, And where I am there thou shalt shine, The foe shall never reach us.” “To Heaven again I rise from hence, High to my Father soaring, The Master there to be, and thence My Spirit on thee pouring; In every grief to comfort thee, And teach thee more and more of Me, Into all truth still guiding.” “What I have done and taught on earth, Do Thou, and teach, none dreading; That so God’s kingdom may go forth, And His high praise be spreading; And guard thee from the words of men, Lest the great joy be lost again: This my last charge I leave thee.” Dear Christians, one and all rejoice, With exultation springing, And with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God hath done, How his right arm the victory won; Right dearly it hath cost him. Fast bound in Satan’s chains I lay, Death brooded darkly o’er me; Sin was my torment night and day, Therein my mother bore me. Deeper and deeper still I fell, Life was become a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. My good works could avail me naught, For they with sin were stained; Free-will against God’s judgment fought, And dead to good remained. Grief drove me to despair, and I Had nothing left me but to die, To hell I fast was sinking. God saw, in his eternal grace, My sorrow out of measure; He thought upon his tenderness- To save was his good pleasure. He turned to me a Father’s heart- Not small the cost-to heal my smart He have his best and dearest. He spake to His beloved Son: ’Tis time to take compassion; Then go, bright Jewel of My crown, And bring to man salvation; From sin and sorrow set him free, Slay bitter death for him, that he May live with Thee forever. The Son delighted to obey, And born of virgin mother, Awhile on this low earth did stay That He might be my Brother. His mighty power He hidden bore, A servant’s form like mine He wore, To bind the devil captive. To me He spake: cling fast to Me, Thou’lt win a triumph worthy; I wholly give myself for thee; I strive and wrestle for thee; For I am thine, thou Mine also; And where I am thou art. The foe Shall never more divide us. For he shall shed My precious blood, Me of My life bereaving; All this I suffer for thy good; Be steadfast and believing. My life from death the day shall win, My righteousness shall bear thy sin, So art thou blest forever. Now to my Father I depart, From earth to Heaven ascending; Thence heavenly wisdom to impart, The Holy Spirit sending. He shall in trouble comfort thee, Teach thee to know and follow me, And to the truth conduct thee. What I have done and taught, do thou To do and teach endeavor; So shall my kingdom flourish now, And God be praised forever. Take heed lest men with base alloy The heavenly treasure should destroy. This counsel I bequeath thee.

  Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing, And, with united heart and voice, And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God hath done, How His right arm the victory won; Right dearly it hath cost Him. Fast bound in Satan’s chains I lay, Death brooded darkly o’er me, Sin was my torment night and day, In sin my mother bore me; Yea, deep and deeper still I fell, Life had become a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. My own good works availed me naught, NO merit they attaining; Free will against God’s judgment fought, Dead to all good remaining. My fears increased till sheer despair Left naught but death to be my share; The pangs of hell I suffered. But God beheld my wretched state Before the world’s foundation, And, mindful of His mercies great, He planned my soul’s salvation. A father’s heart He turned to me, Sought my redemption fervently: He gave His dearest Treasure. He spoke to His belovèd Son: ’Tis time to have compassion. Then go, bright Jewel of My crown, And bring to man salvation; From sin and sorrow set him free, Slay bitter death for him that he May live with Thee forever. The Son obeyed His Father’s will, Was born of virgin mother, And God’s good pleasure to fulfill, He came to be my Brother. No garb of pomp or power He wore, A servant’s form, like mine, He bore, To lead the devil captive. To me He spake: "Hold fast to Me, I am thy Rock and Castle; Thy Ransom I Myself will be, For thee I strive and wrestle; For I am with thee, I am thine, And evermore thou shalt be Mine: The Foe shall not divide us. The Foe shall shed my precious blood, Me of My life bereaving. All this I suffer for thy good; Be steadfast and believing. Life shall from death the victory win, My innocence shall bear thy sin; So art Thou blest forever. Now to my Father I depart, The Holy Spirit sending And, heavenly wisdom to impart, My help to thee extending. He shall in trouble comfort thee, Teach thee to know and follow Me, And in all truth shall guide thee.

Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee; Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

• [1Jo 4:16] O Love Divine And Golden

  O Love divine and golden, Mysterious depth and height, To Thee the world beholden, Looks up for life and light; O Love divine and gentle, The blesser and the blest, Beneath Thy care parental The world lies down in rest. O Love divine and tender, That through our homes dost move, Veiled in the softened splendor O holy household love, A throne without Thy blessing Were labor without rest, And cottages possessing Thy blessedness are blest. God bless these hands united; God bless these hearts made one! Unsevered and unblighted May they through life go on, Here in earth’s home preparing For the bright home above, And there forever sharing Its joy where “God is Love.”

• [1Jo 4:16] O Thou Who Gavest Power To Love

  O Thou Who gavest power to love That we might fix our hearts on Thee, Preparing us for joys above By that which here on earth we see: Thy Spirit trains our souls to know The growing purpose of Thy will, And gives to love the power to show That purpose growing larger still; Larger, as love to reverent eyes Makes manifest another soul, And shows to life a richer prize, A clearer course, a nobler goal. Lord, grant Thy servants who implore Thy blessing on the hearts they blend, That from that union evermore New joys may blossom to the end. Make what is best in each combine To purge all earthly dross away, To strengthen, purify, refine, To beautify each coming day. So may they hand in hand advance Along life’s path from troubles free; Brave to meet adverse circumstance Because their love points up to Thee.

• [1Jo 4:16] See, Sinners, In The Gospel Glass

  See, sinners, in the Gospel glass, The friend and Savior of mankind! Not one of all the apostate race But may in Him salvation find! His thoughts, and words, and actions prove, His life and death, that God is love! Behold the Lamb of God, who bears The sins of all the world away! A servant’s form He meekly wears, He sojourns in a house of clay, His glory is no longer seen, But God with God is man with men. See where the God incarnate stands, And calls His wandering creatures home, He all day long spreads out His hands, “Come, weary souls, to Jesus come! Ye all may hide you in My breast, Believe, and I will give you rest. “Ah! do not of My goodness doubt; My saving grace for all is free; I will in no wise cast him out That comes a sinner unto Me; I can to none Myself deny, Why, sinners, will ye perish, why?”

  Thou Lord, art love, and everywhere Thy Name is brightly shown; Beneath, on earth—Thy footstool fair; Above, in heaven—Thy throne. Thy Word is love; in lines of gold There mercy prints its trace: In nature we Thy steps behold, The Gospel shows Thy face. Thy ways are love; though they transcend Our feeble range of sight, They wind through darkness to their end In everlasting light. Thy thoughts are love, and Jesus is The loving voice they find; His love lights up the vast abyss Of the Eternal Mind. Thy chastisements are love; more deep They stamp the seal divine; And by a sweet compulsion keep Our spirits nearer Thine. Thy heaven is the abode of love! O blessèd Lord, that we May there, when time’s dim shades remove, Be gathered home to Thee! Then with Thy resting saints to fall Adoring round Thy throne, When all shall love Thee, Lord, and all Shall in Thy love be one.

  When the Lord of Love was here, Happy hearts to Him were dear, Though His heart was sad; Worn and lonesome for our sake, Yet he turned aside to make All the weary glad. Meek and lowly were His ways, From His loving grew His praise, From His giving, prayer; All the outcast thronged to hear, All the sorrowful drew near To enjoy His care. When he walked the fields, He drew From the flowers and birds and dew Parables of God; For within His heart of love All the soul of man did move, God had His abode. Lord, be ours Thy power to keep In the very heart of grief, And in trial, love; In our meekness to be wise, And through sorrows to arise To our God above. Fill us with Thy deep desire All the sinful to inspire With the Father’s life; Free us from the cares that press On the heart of worldliness From the fret and strife. And, when in the fields and woods Were are filled with Nature’s moods, May the grace be given With Thy faithful heart to say, “All I see and feel today Is my Father’s Heaven.”
