[Joh 1:1] God The Father, God The Word
God the Father, God the Word,
God the Holy Ghost adored:
Spare us, holy Trinity.Spotless Lamb of God most high,
Manna coming from the sky:
Hear us, holy Jesus.Very Man and Word divine,
Hidden under bread and wine:
Hear us, holy Jesus.Purest Victim, stainless Priest,
Thou the Host, and Thou the Feast:
Hear us, holy Jesus.Bread of life, the angels’ food,
Cup of blessing, precious blood:
Hear us, holy Jesus.Off’ring of most perfect might,
Bond, Thy faithful to unite:
Hear us, holy Jesus.From the tempting lures of sin,
From all pride and lusts within:
Keep us, holy Jesus.From all unbelief in Thee,
Veiled in this great mystery:
Keep us, holy Jesus.By Thy sitting down to meat,
That last Passover to eat:
Keep us, holy Jesus.Through the dread and holy rite,
Founded on that awful night:
Keep us, holy Jesus.Through Thy presence with us here,
When we draw Thine altar near:
Keep us, holy Jesus.Help us, guide us, make us pure,
Give us blessings which endure:
Save us, holy Jesus.Lead Thy pilgrims on their way,
Shine on us, unending Day:
Keep us, holy Jesus.When we draw our latest breath,
Feed us at the time of death:
Keep us, holy Jesus.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

God’s eternal Word is spoken,
Piercing mists, around, above;
Of eternal might the token,
Emblem of eternal Love;
Out of darkness, world enthralling,
Into Light, O hear its calling.Word of God, O Word eternal,
May we hear Thy living voice,
Learn the power of Love supernal,
Learn obedience, and rejoice;
God’s commands forever heeding,
Follow where His love is leading.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

The heavenly Word proceeding forth,
Yet leaving not the Father’s side,
Accomplishing His work on earth
Had reached at length life’s eventide.By false disciple to be given
To foemen for His life athirst
Himself, the very Bread of Heav’n,
He gave to His disciples first.He gave Himself in either kind,
His precious flesh, His precious blood,
In love’s own fullness thus designed
Of the whole man to be the Food.By birth their fellow man was He;
Their Meat, when sitting at the board;
He died, their Ransomer to be;
He ever reigns, their great Reward.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

High Word of God, who once didst come,
Leaving Thy Father and Thy home,
To succor by Thy birth our kind,
When, towards Thy advent, time declined,Pour light upon us from above,
And fire our hearts with Thy strong love,
That, as we hear Thy Gospel read,
All fond desires may flee in dread;That when Thou comest from the skies,
Great Judge, to open Thine assize,
To give each hidden sin its smart,
And crown as kings the pure in heart,We be not set at Thy left hand,
Where sentence due would bid us stand,
But with the saints Thy face may see,
Forever wholly loving Thee.Praise to the Father and the Son,
Through all the ages as they run;
And to the holy Paraclete
Be praise with Them and worship meet.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Jesus, the all-restoring Word,
My fallen spirit’s hope,
After Thy lovely likeness, Lord,
Ah! when shall I wake up?Thou, O my God, Thou only art
The life, the truth, the way;
Quicken my soul, instruct my heart,
My sinking footsteps stay.Of all Thou hast in earth below,
In Heav’n above, to give,
Give me Thy only love to know
In Thee to walk and live.Fill me with all the life of love,
In mystic union join
Me to Thyself and let me prove
The fellowship divine.Open the intercourse between
My longing soul and Thee,
Never to be broke off again
To all eternity.Grant this, O Lord: for Thou hast died
That I might be forgiv’n;
Thou hast the righteousness supplied
For which I merit Heav’n.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 1:1] O Savior, Whom This Holy Morn
O Savior, whom this holy morn
Gave to our world below;
To mortal want and labor born,
And more than mortal woe.Incarnate Word! by every grief,
By each temptation tried,
Who lived to yield our ills relief,
And to redeem us died!If gaily clothed and proudly fed
In dangerous wealth we dwell,
Remind us of Thy manger bed
And lowly cottage cell.If pressed by poverty severe
In anxious want we pine,
O may Thy Spirit whisper near
How poor a lot was Thine!Through this life’s ever varying scene
From sin preserve us free;
Like us Thou hast a mourner been,
May we rejoice with Thee!Play source: Cyberhymnal -

O Thou essential Word,
Who wast from the beginning
With God, for Thou wast God;

Chosen to save our race,
Welcome indeed Thou art,
Redeemer, Fount of grace,
To this my longing heart.Come, self-existent Word,
And speak Thou in my spirit!
The soul where Thou art heard
Doth endless peace inherit.
Thou Light that lightenest all,
Abide through faith in me,
Nor let me from Thee fall,
And seek no guide but Thee.Ah! what hath stirred Thy heart,
What cry hath mounted thither,
And reached Thy heavenly throne,
And drawn Thee, Savior, hither?
It was Thy wondrous love,
And my most utter need,
Made Thy compassions move,
Stronger than death indeed.Then let me give my heart
To Him who loved me, wholly;
And live, while here I dwell,
To show His praises solely;
Yes, Jesus, form anew
This stony heart of mine,
Make it till death still true
To Thee, for ever Thine.Let nought be left within
But what Thy hand hath planted;
Root out the weeds of sin,
And quell the foe who haunted
My soul, and set the tares;
From Thee comes nothing ill,
O save me from his snares,
Make plain my pathway still.Thou art the Life, O Lord,
And Thou its Light art only!
Let not Thy blessèd rays
Still leave me dark and lonely.
Star of the East, arise!
Drive all my clouds away,
Till earth’s dim twilight dies
Into the perfect day!Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Here at Bethesda’s pool, the poor,
The withered, halt, and blind;
With waiting hearts expect a cure,
And free admittance find.Here streams of wondrous virtue flow
To heal a sin-sick soul;
To wash the filthy white as snow,
And make the wounded whole.The dumb break forth in songs of praise,
The blind their sight receive;
The cripple runs in wisdom’s ways,
The dead revive, and live!Restrained to no one case, or time,
These waters always move;
Sinners, in every age and clime,
Their vital influence prove.Yet numbers daily near them lie,
Who meet with no relief;
With life in view they pine and die
In hopeless unbelief.’Tis strange they should refuse to bathe,
And yet frequent the pool;
But none can even wish for faith,
While love of sin bears rule.Satan their consciences has sealed,
And stupefied their thought;
For were they willing to be healed,
The cure would soon be wrought.Do Thou, dear Savior, interpose,
Their stubborn wills constrain;
Or else to them the water flows,
And grace is preached in vain.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 5:3] Beside The Gospel Pool
Beside the Gospel pool
Appointed for the poor;
From year to year, my helpless soul
Has waited for a cure.How often have I seen
The healing waters move;
And others, round me, stepping in
Their efficacy prove.But my complaints remain,
I feel the very same;
As full of guilt, and fear, and pain.
As when at first I came.O would the Lord appear
My malady to heal;
He knows how long I’ve languished here;
And what distress I feel.How often have I thought
Why should I longer lie?
Surely the mercy I have sought
Is not for such as I.But whither can I go?
There is no other pool
Where streams of sovereign virtue flow
To make a sinner whole.Here then, from day to day,
I’ll wait, and hope, and try;
Can Jesus hear a sinner pray,
Yet suffer him to die?No: He is full of grace;
He never will permit
A soul, that fain would see His face,
To perish at His feet.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 5:6] Soul Of Jesus, Make Me Whole
Soul of Jesus, make me whole,
Meek and contrite make my soul;
Thou most stainless Soul divine,
Cleanse this sordid soul of mine,
Hallow this my contrite heart,
Purify my every part;
Soul of Jesus, hallow me,
Miserere Domine.Save me, body of my Lord,
Save a sinner, vile, abhorred;
Sacred body, wan and worn,
Bruised and mangled, scourged and torn,
Piercèd hands and feet and side,
Rent, insulted, crucified:
Save me: to the cross I flee,
Miserere Domine.Blood of Jesus, stream of life,
Sacred stream with blessings rife,
From the broken body shed
On the cross, that altar dread;
Giv’n to be our drink divine,
Fill my heart and make it thine;
Blood of Christ, my succor be,
Miserere Domine.Holy water, stream that poured
From Thy riven side, O Lord,
Wash thou me without, within,
Cleanse me from the taint of sin,
Till my soul is clean and white,
Bathed and purified and bright
As a ransomed soul should be,
Miserere Domine.Jesus, by the wondrous power
Of Thine awful passion hour,
By the unimagined woe
Mortal man may never know;
By the curse upon Thee laid,
By the ransom Thou hast paid,
By Thy passion comfort me,
Miserere Domine.Jesus, by Thy bitter death,
By Thy last expiring breath,
Give me the eternal life,
Purchased by that mortal strife;
Thou didst suffer death that I
Might not die eternally;
By Thy dying quicken me,
Miserere Domine.Miserere, let me be
Never parted, Lord, from Thee;
Guard me from my ruthless foe,
Save me from eternal woe;
When the hour of death is near,
And my spirit faints for fear,
Call me with Thy voice of love,
Place me near to Thee above,
With Thine angel host to raise
An undying song of praise,
Miserere Domine.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 5:6] Wilt Thou Be Made Whole?
Hear the footsteps of Jesus,
He is now passing by,
Bearing balm for the wounded,
Healing all who apply;
As He spake to the suff’rer
Who lay at the pool,
He is saying this moment,
“Wilt thou be made whole?”Refrain
Wilt thou be made whole?
Wilt thou be made whole?
O come, weary suff’rer,
O come, sin-sick soul;
See the life-stream is flowing,
See the cleansing waves roll,
Step into the current and thou shalt be whole.’Tis the voice of that Savior,
Whose merciful call
Freely offers salvation
To one and to all;
He is now beck’ning to Him
Each sin-tainted soul,
And lovingly asking,
“Wilt thou be made whole?”Refrain
Are you halting and struggling,
Overpowr’d by your sin,
While the waters are troubled
Can you not enter in?
Lo, the Savior stands waiting
To strengthen your soul;
He is earnestly pleading,
“Wilt thou be made whole?”Refrain
Blessčd Savior, assist us
To rest on Thy Word;
Let the soul healing power
On us now be outpoured;
Wash away every sin-spot,
Take perfect control,
Say to each trusting spirit,
“Thy faith makes thee whole.”Refrain

[Joh 5:13] My Blessed Savior, Is Thy Love
My blessèd Savior, is Thy Love
So great, so full, so free?
Behold, I give my love, my heart,
My life, my all to Thee.I love Thee for the glorious worth
In Thy great self I see:
I love Thee for that shameful cross
Thou hast endured for me.No man of greater love can boast
Than for his friend to die:
But for Thy enemies Thou wast slain:
What love with Thine can vie!O Lord, I’ll cherish in my soul
The memory of Thy love:
And Thy dear Name shall still to me
A priceless treasure prove.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 5:14] Sinner Made Whole, A
There’s a song in my heart that my lips cannot sing,
’Tis praise in the highest to Jesus my King;
Its music each moment is thrilling my soul,
For I was a sinner, but Christ made me whole.Refrain
A sinner made whole! A sinner made whole!
The Savior has bought me and ransomed my soul!
My heart now is singing; there’s joy in my soul,
For I was a sinner, but Christ made me whole.I shall stand one day faultless and pure by His throne,
Transformed from my image, conformed to His own;
Then I shall find words for the song of my soul,
For I was a sinner, but Christ made me whole.Refrain
All the music of Heaven, so perfect and sweet,
Will blend with my song just to make it complete,
Thro’ ages unending the echoes will roll,
For I was a sinner, but Christ made me whole.Refrain
