Romans 5:2-11

• [Rom 5:2] O Glorious Hope Of Perfect Love

  O glorious hope of perfect love! It lifts me up to things above; It bears on eagles’ wings. It gives my ravished soul a taste, And makes me for some moments feast With Jesus’ priests and kings, With Jesus’ priests and kings. Rejoicing now in earnest hope, I stand, and from the mountain top See all the lands below. Rivers of milk and honey rise, And all the fruits of paradise In endless plenty grow, In endless plenty grow. A land of corn, and wine, and oil; Favored with God’s peculiar smile, With ev’ry blessing blest; There dwells the Lord our Righteousness, And keeps His own in perfect peace, And everlasting rest, And everlasting rest. Oh, that I might at once go up; No more on this side of Jordan stop, But now the land possess; This moment end my legal years, Sorrows and sins, and doubts and fears, A howling wilderness, A howling wilderness!

• [Rom 5:2] Thou Grace Divine, Encircling All

  Thou grace divine, encircling all, A soundless, shoreless sea! Wherein at last our souls must fall O love of God most free! And though we turn us from thy face, And wander wide and long, Thou hold’st us still in thine embrace, O love of God most strong! The saddened heart, the restless soul, The toil worn frame and mind, Alike confess thy sweet control, O love of God most kind! And filled and quickened by thy breath, Our souls are strong and free, To rise o’er sin and fear and death, O love of God, to thee!

• [Rom 5:5] Being Of Beings

  Being of beings, God of love; To Thee our hearts we raise; Thy all sustaining power we prove, And gladly sing Thy praise. Thine, wholly Thine, we pant to be; Our sacrifice receive; Made, and preserved, and saved by Thee, To Thee ourselves we give. Heav’nward our every wish aspires, For all Thy mercy’s store; The sole return Thy love requires, Is that we ask for more. For more we ask: we open then Our hearts to embrace Thy will; Turn and revive us, Lord, again, With all Thy fullness fill. Come, Holy Ghost, the Savior’s love Shed in our hearts abroad; So shall we ever live, and move, And be, with Christ, in God.

• [Rom 5:5] Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove

  Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quick’ning powers; Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. Look how we grovel here below, Fond of these trifling toys; Our souls can neither fly nor go To reach eternal joys. In vain we tune our formal songs, In vain we strive to rise; Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies. Dear Lord! and shall we ever live At this poor dying rate? Our love so faint, so cold to Thee, And Thine to us so great! Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quick’ning powers; Come, shed abroad the Savior’s love And that shall kindle ours.

• [Rom 5:5] Jesus Loves Even Me

  I am so glad that our Father in Heav’n Tells of His love in the Book He has giv’n; Wonderful things in the Bible I see, This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me. Refrain I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me. I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves even me.

Refrain Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing, When in His beauty I see the great King, This shall my song through eternity be, “Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me!” Refrain Jesus loves me, and I know I love Him; Love brought Him down my poor soul to redeem; Yes, it was love made Him die on the tree; Oh, I am certain that Jesus loves me! Refrain If one should ask of me, how can I tell? Glory to Jesus, I know very well! God’s Holy Spirit with mine doth agree, Constantly witnessing Jesus loves me.

  The Gospel message sent— Is echoed back again, From lips in prayer and praise, And this the sweet refrain: That Jesus died for me— Dear Lamb of Calvary.

• [Rom 5:8] How Bitter-sweet The Mystery

  How bitter-sweet the mystery: Christ Jesus crucified. Yet, He is not the guilty one, No sin, though still He dies. Hung on a cross of rugged wood, Received He from God’s hand, The penalty, the wage of sin, Deserved by wicked man. O! Even more hope we shall find Beyond the death He died. Consider this, that from the grave He rose and is alive. For to this end Christ Jesus died Was raised and lives again; That He might be the Lord of both The dead and the living! What glorious day we long await When Christ His church shall raise. Since then for all eternity The Risen One we’ll praise. God demonstrates His love in this: While we were yet in sin, Christ Jesus died on our behalf. We’re saved from wrath through Him! Now sinner, hear! To His grace turn! Repent, and be forgiv’n— United with Him in His death; Alive with Him now ris’n.

• [Rom 5:8] When Time Seems Short And Death Is Near

  When time seems short, and death is near, And I am pressed by doubt and fear, And sins, an overflowing tide, Assail my peace on every side, This thought my refuge still shall be, I know my Savior died for me. His name is Jesus, and He died— For guilty sinners crucified; Content to die, that He might win Their ransom from the death of sin. No sinner worse than I can be, Therefore I know He died for me. If grace were bought, I could not buy; If grace were coined, no wealth have I; By grace alone I draw my breath, Held up from everlasting death. Yet since I know His grace is free, I know the Savior died for me. I read God’s holy Word, and find Great truths which far transcend my mind And little do I know beside Of thought so high and deep and wide. This is my best theology— I know the Savior died for me. My faith is weak, but ’tis Thy gift; Thou canst my helpless soul uplift, And say, “Thy bonds of death are riv’n, Thy sins by Me are all forgiv’n, And thou shalt live, from guilt set free; For I, thy Savior, died for thee.”

No tongue of mortal can express, No letters write His blessedness, Alone who hath Thee in his heart Knows, love of Jesus! what Thou art. O Jesu! King of wondrous might! O Victor, glorious from the fight! Sweetness that may not be expressed, And altogether loveliest! Remain with us, O Lord, today! In every heart Thy grace display; That now the shades of night are fled, On Thee our spirits may be fed. All honor, laud and glory be, O Jesu, virgin-born, to Thee! All glory, as is ever meet, To Father and to Paraclete.
