Ephesians 3:18-19

• [Eph 3:18] Jesus, Thy Boundless Love To Me

  Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; Unite my thankful heart with Thee And reign without a rival there. To Thee alone, dear Lord, I live; Myself to Thee, dear Lord, I give. O, grant that nothing in my soul May dwell but Thy pure love alone! Oh, may Thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown! All coldness from my heart remove; My every act, word, thought, be love. O love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away Wherever thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek, but Thee! This love unwearied I pursue And dauntlessly to Thee aspire. Oh, may Thy love my hope renew Burn in my soul like heavenly fire! And day and night be all my care To guard this sacred treasure there. My Savior, Thou Thy love to me In shame, in want, in pain, hast showed; For me, on the accursed tree, Thou pourest forth Thy guiltless blood; Thy wounds upon my heart impress, Nor aught shall the loved stamp efface. More hard than marble is my heart, And foul with sins of deepest stain; But Thou the mighty Savior art, Nor flowed thy cleansing blood in vain; Ah soften, melt this rock, and may Thy blood wash all these stains away! O that I, as a little child, May follow Thee, and never rest Till sweetly Thou hast breathed Thy mild And lowly mind into my breast! Nor ever may we parted be, Till I become as one with Thee. Still let Thy love point out my way; How wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my word, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. In suffering be Thy love my peace, In weakness be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that important hour, In death as life be Thou my guide, And save me, who for me hast died.

  Grander than ocean’s story, Or songs of forest trees; Purer than breath of morning, Or evening’s gentle breeze; Clearer than mountain echoes Ring out from peaks above, Rolls on the glorious anthem Of God’s eternal love. Dearer than any friendship Our truest comrades show; Stronger than all the yearning A mother’s heart may know; Deeper than earth’s foundations, And far above all thought; Broader than Heav’n’s high arches— The love that Christ has brought. Richer than all earth’s treasures, The wealth my soul receives; Brighter than royal jewels, The crown that Jesus gives; Wondrous the condescension, And grace beyond degree! I would be ever singing The love of Christ to me.

  In the heart of Jesus, there is love for you, Love most pure and tender, love most deep and true; Why should you be lonely, why for friendship sigh, When the heart of Jesus has a full supply? In the mind of Jesus there is thought for you, Warm as summer sunshine, sweet as morning dew; Why should you be fearful, why take anxious thought, Since the mind of Jesus cares for those He bought? In the field of Jesus there is work for you; Such as even angels might rejoice to do; Why stand idly sighing for some life-work grand, While the field of Jesus seeks your reaping hand? In the home of Jesus there’s a place for you; Glorious, bright, and joyous, calm and peaceful, too; Why then, like a wanderer, roam with weary pace, If the home of Jesus holds for you a place?

• [Eph 3:19] It Passeth Knowledge

  It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine! My Jesus! Savior! yet this soul of mine Would of that love, in all its depth and length, Its height and breadth, and everlasting strength Know more and more. It passeth telling! that dear love of Thine! My Jesus! Savior! yet these lips of mine Would fain proclaim to sinners far and near A love which can remove all guilty fear, And love beget. It passeth praises! that dear love of Thine! My Jesus! Savior yet this heart of mine Would sing a love so rich, so full, so free, Which brought an undone sinner, such as me, Right home to God. But though I cannot tell, or sing, or know, The fullness of Thy love while here below, My empty vessel I may freely bring: O Thou, who art of love the living spring, My vessel fill. I am an empty vessel—not one thought, Or look of love to Thee I ever brought; Yet I may come, and come again to Thee, With this the empty sinner’s only plea— “Thou lovest me!” Oh! fill me Jesus Savior with Thy love; Lead, lead me to the living fount above! Thither may I in simple faith draw nigh And never to another fountain fly, But unto Thee. And when my Jesus face to face I see, When at His lofty throne I bow the knee, Then of His love, in all its breadth and length, Its height and depth, its everlasting strength, My soul shall sing.

  My song is love unknown, My Savior’s love to me; Love to the loveless shown, That they might lovely be. O who am I, that for my sake My Lord should take, frail flesh and die? He came from His blest throne Salvation to bestow; But men made strange, and none The longed for Christ would know: But O! my Friend, my Friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend. Sometimes they strew His way, And His sweet praises sing; Resounding all the day Hosannas to their King: Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, And for His death they thirst and cry. Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, He gave the blind their sight, Sweet injuries! Yet they at these Themselves displease, and ’gainst Him rise. They rise and needs will have My dear Lord made away; A murderer they saved, The Prince of life they slay, Yet cheerful He to suffering goes, That He His foes from thence might free. In life, no house, no home My Lord on earth might have; In death no friendly tomb But what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heav’n was His home; But mine the tomb wherein He lay. Here might I stay and sing, No story so divine; Never was love, dear King! Never was grief like Thine. This is my Friend, in Whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend.

  O the depth of love divine, th’unfathomable grace! Who shall say how bread and wine God into us conveys! How the bread His flesh imparts, how the wine transmits His blood, Fills His faithful people’s hearts with all the life of God! Let the wisest mortals show how we the grace receive; Feeble elements bestow a power not theirs to give. Who explains the wondrous way, how through these the virtue came? These the virtue did convey, yet still remain the same. How can spirits heavenward rise, by earthly matter fed, Drink herewith divine supplies and eat immortal bread? Ask the Father’s wisdom how: Christ Who did the means ordain; Angels round our altars bow to search it out, in vain. Sure and real is the grace, the manner be unknown; Only meet us in thy ways and perfect us in one. Let us taste the heavenly powers, Lord, we ask for nothing more. Thine to bless,’ tis only ours to wonder and adore.

• [Joh 17:3] Forever With The Lord

  “Forever with the Lord!” Amen, so let it be! Life from His death is in that word ’Tis immortality. Here in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day’s march nearer home My Father’s house on high, Home of my soul, how near At times to faith’s foreseeing eye Thy golden gates appear! Ah! then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above. Yet clouds will intervene, And all my prospect flies; Like Noah’s dove, I flit between Rough seas and stormy skies. Anon the clouds depart, The winds and waters cease, While sweetly o’er my gladdened heart Expands the bow of peace. I hear at morn and even, At noon and midnight hour, The choral harmonies of Heaven Earth’s Babel tongues o’erpower; Then, then I feel that He, Remembered or forgot, The Lord, is never far from me, Though I perceive Him not. “Forever with the Lord!” Forever in His will, The promise of that faithful word, Lord, here in me fulfill. With You at my right hand, Then I shall never fail; Uphold me, Lord, and I shall stand, Through grace I will prevail. So when my latest breath Breaks through the veil of pain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain. That resurrection word, That shout of victory: Once more, “Forever with the Lord!” Amen, so let it be!

• [Joh 17:3] Thou True And Only God

  Thou, true and only God, lead’st forth Th’immortal armies of the sky; Thou laugh’st to scorn the gods of earth, Thou thunderest, and amazed they fly. With downcast eye th’angelic choir Appear before Thy awful face; Trembling they strike the golden lyre, And through Heav’n’s vault resound Thy praise, In earth, in Heaven, in all Thou art; The conscious creature feels Thy nod, Whose forming hand on every part Impressed the image of its God. Thine, Lord, is wisdom, Thine alone; Justice and truth before Thee stand; Yet, nearer to Thy sacred throne, Mercy withholds Thy lifted hand. Each evening shows Thy tender love, Each rising morn Thy plenteous grace Thy wakened wrath doth slowly move, Thy willing mercy flies apace. To Thy benign indulgent care, Father, this light, this breath we owe; And all we have, and all we are, From Thee, great Source of being, flow. Parent of good, Thy bounteous hand Incessant blessings down distils, And all in air, or sea, or land, With plenteous food and gladness fills. All things in Thee live, move, and are, Thy power infused doth all sustain; E’en those Thy daily favors share Who thankless spurn Thy easy reign. Thy sun Thou bidd’st his genial ray Alike on all impartial pour; To all, who hate or bless Thy sway, Thou bidd’st descend the fruitful shower. Yet, while at length who scorned Thy might Shall feel Thee a consuming fire, How sweet the joys, the crown how bright, Of those who to Thy love aspire! All creatures, praise th’eternal Name! Ye hosts that to His court belong, Cherubic choirs, seraphic flames, Awake the everlasting song! Thrice Holy! Thine the kingdom is, The power omnipotent is Thine, And when created nature dies, Thy never-ceasing glories shine.

  In one true God we all believe, And to His Name all glory give, Creator of all things is He In the Heav’n, the earth, the sea. We all believe in God’s own Son, Our Lord, the sole begotten One; And by the Holy Ghost the same Of a virgin man became. By Pontius Pilate crucified, He suffered on the tree and died; To show of Satan’s reign the end, He did into hell descend. The same Lord Christ of Nazareth Who for all sinners tasted death The third day after He had died Rose with body glorified. In full accord with God’s own Word This holy body of our Lord, Although in death’s firm grasp it be, Never would corruption see. He then ascended into Heaven, Where endless power to Him was given; And there for us in all our needs Graciously He intercedes. From thence He’ll come, as once He said To judge the living and the dead. O righteous Judge, our Savior, come, Take us to our heavenly home! We all confess the Holy Ghost, Who guides the Church, a chosen host, And binds the saints in purest love Here on earth and there above. And to this truth we also cleave, That we forgiveness do receive, True peace and joy and comfort sweet, Daily from the Paraclete. From death our bodies shall arise To endless life beyond the skies; By grace through Jesus we shall rest There in Heaven, forever blest.
