John 3:16
-
[Joh 3:16] Almighty God, Whose Only Son
Almighty God, whose only Son
O’er sin and death the triumph won,
And ever lives to intercede
For souls who Thy sweet mercy need;In His dear Name to Thee we pray
For all who err and go astray,
For sinners, wheresoe’er they be,
Who do not serve and honor Thee.There are who never yet have heard
The tidings of Thy blessèd Word,
But still in heathen darkness dwell,
Without one thought of Heav’n or hell.And some within Thy sacred fold
To holy things are dead and cold,
And waste the precious hours of life
In selfish ease, or toil, or strife;And many a quickened soul within
There lurks the secret love of sin,
A wayward will, or anxious fears,
Or lingering taint of bygone years.O give repentance true and deep
To all Thy lost and wandering sheep,
And kindle in their hearts the fire
Of holy love and pure desire.That so from angel hosts above
May rise a sweeter song of love,
And we, with all the blest, adore
Thy Name, O God, for evermore.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 3:16] And Didst Thou Love The Race
And didst Thou love the race that loved not Thee?
And didst Thou take to Heaven a human brow?
Dost plead with man’s voice by the marvelous sea?
Art Thou his Kinsman now?O God, O Kinsman loved, but not enough,
O Man, with eyes majestic after death,
Whose feet have toiled along our pathways rough,
Whose lips drawn human breath!By that one likeness which is ours and Thine,
By that one nature which doth hold us kin,
By that high Heaven where, sinless, Thou dost shine
To draw us sinners in;By Thy last silence in the judgment hall,
By long foreknowledge of the deadly tree,
By darkness, by the wormwood and the gall,
I pray Thee visit me.Come, lest this heart should, cold and cast away,
Die ere the Guest adored she entertain—
Lest eyes which never saw Thine earthly day
Should miss Thy heavenly reign.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 3:16] Father, God, We Glorify
Father, God, we glorify
Thy love to Adam’s seed;
Love that gave Thy Son to die,
And raised Him from the dead:
Him, for our offenses slain,
That we all might pardon find,
Thou hast brought to life again,
The Savior of mankind.By Thy own right hand of power
Thou hast exalted Him,
Sent the mighty Conqueror
Thy people to redeem:
King of Saints, and Prince of Peace,
Him Thou hast for sinners giv’n,
Sinners from their sins to bless,
And lift them up to Heav’n.Father, God, to us impart
The gift unspeakable;
Now in every waiting heart
Thy glorious Son reveal:
Quickened with our living Lord,
Let us in Thy Spirit rise,
Rise to all Thy life restored,
And bless Thee in the skies.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Ring out the Gospel bells.For God so loved the world

Of earth or sea or sky,
Could only show its full overflow,
When Jesus came to die.Refrain

His Word was meant for you;
His grace receive, His promise believe,
And sing His praise anew.Refrain

Shed for us His precious blood.

From sin redeemed, are marked for God,

Sing the new song of ransomed earth.For that Thine advent glory be,

Didst give Thine only Son for us to die,

Behold us sprinkled with His precious blood;

Shine forth, and grant us in this heavenly food
Foretastes of coming glory, and meanwhile

Low at Thy footstool for ourselves we pray,
But for the loved ones to our hearts most near
At home or toiling in far lands away;
O guard them, guide them, comfort and befriend,
And keep them Thine unfaltering to the end.And, Father, ere we leave Thy mercy-throne,
Bound by these sacred pledges, yet most free,

Of the moon and burning sun, evermore and evermore!He is found in human fashion, death and sorrow here to know,
That the race of Adam’s children doomed by law to endless woe,
May not henceforth die and perish
In the dreadful gulf below, evermore and evermore!O that birth forever blessèd, when the virgin, full of grace,
By the Holy Ghost conceiving, bare the Savior of our race;

First revealed His sacred face, evermore and evermore!This is He Whom seers in old time chanted of with one accord;
Whom the voices of the prophets promised in their faithful word;
Now He shines, the long expected,
Let creation praise its Lord, evermore and evermore!O ye heights of heaven adore Him; angel hosts, His praises sing;
Powers, dominions, bow before Him, and extol our God and King!
Let no tongue on earth be silent,
Every voice in concert sing, evermore and evermore!Righteous judge of souls departed, righteous King of them that live,
On the Father’s throne exalted none in might with Thee may strive;
Who at last in vengeance coming
Sinners from Thy face shalt drive, evermore and evermore!Thee let old men, thee let young men, thee let boys in chorus sing;
Matrons, virgins, little maidens, with glad voices answering:
Let their guileless songs re-echo,
And the heart its music bring, evermore and evermore!Christ, to Thee with God the Father, and, O Holy Ghost, to Thee,

Most undeserved, His heart still yearned

[Joh 6:40] Jesus, Lord, We Look To Thee
Jesus, Lord, we look to Thee;
Let us in Thy Name agree;
Show Thyself the Prince of Peace,
Bid our strife forever cease.By Thy reconciling love
Every stumbling block remove;
Each to each unite, endear;
Come, and spread Thy banner here.Make us of one heart and mind,
Gentle, courteous, and kind,
Lowly, meek, in thought and word,
Altogether like our Lord.Let us for each other care,
Each the other’s burdens bear;
To Thy church the pattern give,
Show how true believers live.Free from anger and from pride;
Let us thus in God abide;
All the depths of love express,
All the heights of holiness.Let us then with joy remove
To the family above;
On the wings of angels fly,
Show how true believers die.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

’Tis a beautiful home of the soul;
Built by Jesus on high, where we never shall die,
’Tis a land where we never grow old.Refrain
Never grow old, never grow old,
In a land where we’ll never grow old;
Never grow old, never grow old,
In a land where we’ll never grow old.In that beautiful home where we’ll never more roam,
We shall be in the sweet by and by;
Happy praise to the King through eternity sing,
’Tis a land where we never shall die.Refrain
When our work here is done and the life crown is won,
And our troubles and trials are o’er;
All our sorrow will end, and our voices will blend,
With the loved ones who’ve gone on before.Refrain

[Joh 6:51] How The Lord From Heaven Came
I love to hear the story how the Lord from Heaven came
And did not fear to visit men in all their sin and shame;
But touched the sick and made them well, the blind and they did see,
And said of little children, “Suffer them to come to Me.”I love to think of Jesus as my gentle Shepherd Lord
Who leads in heav’nly pastures those who love to hear His Word;
And when I am in sorrow, and sore trouble makes me fear,
I hear Him say: “Be not afraid, My child, for I am near!”I love to speak to Him alone in words of song and prayer
In darkest night and roughest way, for He is with me there;
And so He guides me that each day I may not fail to see
The way to Heav’n, that where He is, there also may I be.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

All Thy wondrous love reveal.While on Thy dear cross we gaze,
Mourning o’er our sinful ways,
Turn our sadness into praise.When we taste the mystic wine,
Of Thine outpoured blood the sign,
Fill our hearts with love divine.Draw us to Thy wounded side,
Whence there flowed the healing tide;
There our sins and sorrows hide.From the bonds of sin release,
Cold and wavering faith increase;
Lamb of God, grant us Thy peace.Lead us by Thy piercèd hand,
Till around Thy throne we stand
In the bright and better land.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

For full and free remission
With prayer I come before Thy sight,
In sorrow and contrition.

May to Thy table now draw nigh
With Thine own preparation.I merit not Thy favor, Lord,

Give me Thy easy yoke to bear,
With steadfast patience arm my breast,
With spotless love, and lowly fear.Thankful I take the cup from Thee,

Though bitter to the taste it be,
Powerful the wounded soul to heal.Be Thou, O Rock of ages, nigh!
So shall each murmuring thought be gone,
And grief, and fear, and care, shall fly,
As clouds before the mid-day sun.Speak to my warring passions, “Peace!”
Say to my trembling heart, “Be still!”

For all things serve Thy sovereign will.O death! where is thy sting? Where now
Thy boasted victory, O grave?

Standards of worth o’er all the earth;
