• [1Jo 3:1] Behold The Amazing Gift Of Love

  Behold th’amazing gift of love The Father hath bestowed On us, the sinful sons of men, To call us sons of God! Concealed as yet this honor lies, By this dark world unknown, A world that knew not when He came, Even God’s eternal Son. High is the rank we now possess; But higher we shall rise; Though what we shall hereafter be Is hid from mortal eyes. Our souls, we know, when He appears, Shall bear His image bright; For all His glory, full disclosed, Shall open to our sight. A hope so great, and so divine, May trials well endure; And purge the soul from sense and sin, As Christ Himself is pure. Behold what wondrous grace The Father hath bestow’d On sinners of a mortal race To call them Sons of God! ’Tis no surprising thing, That we should be unknown; The Jewish world knew not their King, God’s everlasting Son. Nor doth it yet appear How great we must be made; But when we see our Saviour here, We shall be like our Head. A hope so much divine May trials well endure, May purge our souls from sense and sin As Christ the Lord is pure. If in my Father’s love I share a filial part, Send down Thy Spirit like a dove, To rest upon my heart. We would no longer lie Like slaves beneath the throne; My faith shall Abba, Father, cry, And Thou the kindred own.

  Behold, what wondrous love and grace! When we were wretched and undone, To save our ruined, helpless race, The Father gave His only Son! Of twice ten thousand gifts divine, No gift like this could ever shine. Jesus, to save us from our fall, Was made incarnate here below; This was the greatest gift of all— Heaven could no greater gift bestow: On Him alone our sins were laid; He died, and now the ransom’s paid. O gift of love unspeakable! O gift of mercy all divine! We once were slaves of death and hell, But now we in His image shine. For other gifts our songs we raise, But this demands our highest praise. Praise shall employ these tongues of ours Till we, with all the hosts above, Extol His Name with nobler powers, Lost in the ocean of His love: While angel choirs with wonder gaze, We’ll fill the heavens with shouts of praise.

  A friend I have called Jesus, whose love is strong and true, And never fails howe’er ’tis tried, no matter what I do; I’ve sinned against this love of His, but when I knelt to pray, Confessing all my guilt to Him, the sin clouds rolled away.

Refrain When sorrow’s clouds o’ertake me, and break upon my head, When life seems worse than useless, and I were better dead; I take my grief to Jesus then, nor do I go in vain, For heavenly hope He gives that cheers like sunshine after rain. Refrain O, I could sing forever of Jesus’ love divine, Of all His care and tenderness for this poor life of mine; His love is in and over all, and wind and waves obey, When Jesus whispers “Peace, be still!” and rolls the clouds away.

• [1Jo 3:1] Wonderful Story Of Love

  Wonderful story of love; Tell it to me again; Wonderful story of love; Wake the immortal strain! Angels with rapture announce it, Shepherds with wonder receive it; Sinner, O won’t you believe it? Refrain Wonderful story of love, Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful, wonderful story of love. Wonderful story of love; Though you are far away; Wonderful story of love; Still He doth call today; Calling from Calvary’s mountain, Down from the crystal bright fountain, E’en from the dawn of creation, Refrain Wonderful story of love; Jesus provides a rest; Wonderful story of love; For all the pure and blest, Rest in those mansions above us, With those who’ve gone on before us, Singing the rapturous chorus, Refrain

• [1Jo 3:2] Advent Glory

  The day is fast approaching when the Savior shall appear, And every eye His glory shall behold; The tokens of His coming fill the loyal heart with cheer Though strife abounds and love is waxing cold. Refrain We’ll see Him as He is, And the brightness of His glory we shall share; We’ll see Him as He is, And the likeness of His image we shall bear. In all His Father’s glory, clothed in majesty unveiled, With myriads of the shining angel band, The King descends triumphant in Whose might we have prevailed, And all the ransomed rise at His command. Refrain Oh, may we all as sons of light be watching unto prayer, For surely our redemption draweth nigh; With holy zeal and patient faith, let every soul prepare To join the advent chorus in the sky.

• [1Jo 3:2] And Is It So

  And is it so—I shall be like Thy Son? Is this the grace which He for me has won? Father of glory (thought beyond all thought!)— In glory, to His own blest likeness brought! Oh, Jesus, Lord, who loved me like to Thee? Fruit of Thy work, with Thee, too, there to see Thy glory, Lord, while endless ages roll, Myself the prize and travail of Thy soul. Yet it must be: Thy love had not its rest Were Thy redeemed not with Thee fully blest. That love that gives not as the world, but shares All it possesses with its loved co-heirs. Nor I alone; Thy loved ones all, complete In glory, round Thee there with joy shall meet, All like Thee, for Thy glory like Thee, Lord, Object supreme of all, by all adored. The heart is satisfied; can ask no more All thought of self is now forever o’er: Christ, its un-mingled Object, fills the heart In blest adoring love—the endless part. Father of mercies, in Thy presence bright All this shall be unfolded in the light; Thy children all, with joy Thy counsels know Fulfilled; patient in hope, while here below.

• [1Jo 3:2] Beloved, Now Are We

  Sons of God, belovèd in Jesus! O the wondrous word of grace; In His Son the Father sees us, And as sons He gives us place. Refrain Belovèd, now are we the sons of God, And it doth not yet appear what we shall be; But we know that when He shall appear; We know that when He shall appear, We shall be like Him, we shall be like Him, For we shall see Him as He is. Blessèd hope now brightly beaming, On our God we soon shall gaze; And in light celestial gleaming, We shall see our Savior’s face. Refrain By the pow’r of grace transforming, We shall then His image bear; Christ His promised word performing, We shall then His glory share. Refrain

• [1Jo 3:2] O I Want To See Him

  As I journey thro’ the land, singing as I go, Pointing souls to Calvary—to the crimson flow, Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within; But my Lord leads me on, thro’ Him I must win. Refrain O I want to see Him, look upon His face, There to sing forever of His saving grace; On the streets of glory let me lift my voice, Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice. When in service for my Lord dark may be the night, But I’ll cling more close to Him, He will give me light; Satan’s snares may vex my soul, turn my tho’ts aside; But my Lord goes ahead, leads whate’er betide. Refrain When in valleys low I look tow’rd the mountain height, And behold my Savior there, leading in the fight, With a tender hand outstretched tow’rd the valley low, Guiding me, I can see, as I onward go. Refrain When before me billows rise form the mighty deep, Then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep, And He leads me gently on thro’ this world below; He’s a real Friend to me, O I love Him so. Refrain

• [1Jo 3:3] Be True And List

  Be true and list the voice within, Be true unto thy high ideal, Thy perfect self, that knows no sin, That self that is the only real. God is the only perfect One: My perfect self is one with Him; So man is seen as God’s own son, When truth dispels the shadows dim. True to our God Whose Name is Love, We shall fulfill our Father’s plan; For true means true to God above, To self, and to our fellow man.
