2 Corinthians 5:15

• [2Co 5:15] O The Bitter Shame And Sorrow

  O the bitter shame and sorrow, That a time could ever be, When I let the Savior’s pity Plead in vain, and proudly answered, “All of self, and none of Thee!” Yet He found me; I beheld Him Bleeding on th’accursèd tree, Heard Him pray, “Forgive them, Father!” And my wistful heart said faintly, “Some of self, and some of Thee!” Day by day His tender mercy, Healing, helping, full and free, Sweet and strong, and ah! so patient, Brought me lower, while I whispered, “Less of self, and more of Thee!” Higher than the highest heavens, Deeper than the deepest sea, Lord, Thy love at last hath conquered: Grant me now my supplication, “None of self, and all of Thee!”

• [2Co 5:15] Servant Of God, Remember

  Servant of God, remember The stream thy soul bedewing, The grace that came upon thee Anointing and renewing. When kindly slumber calls thee, Upon thy bed reclining, Trace thou the cross of Jesus, Thy heart and forehead signing. The cross dissolves the darkness, And drives away temptation; It calms the wavering spirit By quiet consecration. Begone, begone, the terrors Of vague and formless dreaming; Begone, thou fell deceiver, With all thy boasted scheming. Begone, thou crooked serpent, Who, twisting and pursuing, By fraud and lie preparest The simple soul’s undoing. Tremble, for Christ is near us, Depart, for here He dwelleth, And this, the sign thou knowest, Thy strong battalions quelleth. Then while the weary body Its rest in sleep is nearing, The heart will muse in silence On Christ and His appearing. To God, eternal Father, To Christ, our King, be glory, And to the Holy Spirit, In never ending story.

2 Corinthians 9:7

• [2Co 9:7] Lord, Thou Lov’st The Cheerful Giver

  Lord, Thou lov’st the cheerful giver, Who with open heart and hand Blesses freely, as a river That refreshes all the land. Grant us then the grace of giving With a spirit large and free, That our life and all our living We may consecrate to Thee. We are Thine, Thy mercy sought us, Found us in death’s dreadful way, To the fold in safety brought us, Nevermore from Thee to stray. Thine own life Thou freely gavest As an off’ring on the cross For each sinner whom Thou savest From eternal shame and loss. Blest by Thee with gifts and graces, May we heed Thy church’s call: Gladly in all times and places Give to Thee Who givest all. Thou hast bought us, and no longer Can we claim to be our own; Ever free and ever stronger, We shall serve Thee, Lord, alone. Savior, Thou hast freely given All the blessings we enjoy. Earthly store and bread of heaven, Love and peace without alloy; Humbly now we bow before Thee, And our all to Thee resign; For the kingdom, pow’r and glory, Are, O Lord, forever Thine.
