John 3:14

• [Joh 3:14] As When The Hebrew Prophet Raised

  As when the Hebrew prophet raised [originally So did the Hebrew prophet raise] The brazen serpent high, The wounded looked and straight were cured, The people ceased to die. So from the Savior on the cross A healing virtue flows; Who looks to Him with lively faith Is saved from endless woes. For God gave up His Son to death, So generous was His love, That all the faithful might enjoy Eternal life above. Not to condemn the sons of men The Son of God appeared; No weapons in His hand are seen, Nor voice of terror heard. He came to raise our fallen state, And our lost hopes restore; Faith leads us to the mercy seat, And bids us fear no more. Watts’ original version: So did the Hebrew prophet raise The brazen serpent high, The wounded felt immediate ease, The camp forbore to die. “Look upward in the dying hour, And live,” the prophet cries; But Christ performs a nobler cure, When Faith lifts up her eyes. High on the cross the Savior hung, High in the heav’ns he reigns: Here sinners by th’ old serpent stung Look, and forget their pains. When God’s own Son is lifted up, A dying world revives; The Jew beholds the glorious hope, Th’expiring Gentile lives.

John 12:21

• [Joh 12:21] A Prayer For God’s Blessing

  Here we would see Jesus, wearied with the journey, We turn again to be renewed and know His touch of pow’r. Yes, we would see Jesus thru the Scriptures shining; Lord, lift the veil of earthly sense and meet us in this hour. We beheld His glory, thus when homeward wending, Our hearts will echo with the chorus of redeeming love. We beheld His glory, and go forth to serve Him, Till faith gives way to joyous sight in mansions up above.

• [Joh 12:21] We Would See Jesus (1)

  We would see Jesus; lo! His star is shining Above the stable while the angels sing; There in a manger on the hay reclining; Haste, let us lay our gifts before the King. We would see Jesus, Mary’s Son most holy, Light of the village life from day to day; Shining revealed through every task most lowly, The Christ of God, the life, the truth, the way. We would see Jesus, on the mountain teaching, With all the listening people gathered round; While birds and flowers and sky above are preaching The blessedness which simple trust has found. We would see Jesus, in His work of healing, At eventide before the sun was set; Divine and human, in His deep revealing Of God made flesh, in loving service met. We would see Jesus, in the early morning, Still as of old He calleth, “Follow Me!” Let us arise, all meaner service scorning; Lord, we are Thine, we give ourselves to Thee.

• [Joh 12:21] We Would See Jesus (warner)

  We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness, the final strife. We would see Jesus, the great rock Foundation Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace; Nor life nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, if we see His face. We would see Jesus; other lights are paling, Which for long years we have rejoiced to see; The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing; We would not mourn them, for we go to Thee. We would see Jesus; yet the spirit lingers Round the dear objects it has loved so long, And earth from earth can scarce unclasp its fingers; Our love to Thee makes not this love less strong. We would see Jesus: sense is all too binding, And heaven appears too dim, too far away; We would see Thee, Thyself our hearts reminding What Thou hast suffered, our great debt to pay. We would see Jesus: this is all we’re needing; Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading; Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night.

John 14:13

• [Joh 14:13] Go To The Deeps Of God’s Promise

  Go to the deeps of God’s promise; Ask freely of Him, and receive; All good may be had for the asking, If, seeking, you truly believe. Refrain Go to the deeps of God’s promise; There’s wideness of meaning untold In the promises given His people, And the treasures they ever unfold. Go to the deeps of God’s promise; And know of His wonderful might; Whatever would be a true blessing, For Jesus’ sake, comes as thy right. Refrain Go to the deeps of God’s promise; The blessing is never denied; He loves, and remembers His children, And every good thing is supplied. Refrain Go to the deeps of God’s promise; And claim whatsoever ye will; The blessing of God will not fail thee, His Word He will surely fulfill. Refrain
