Our thoughts are all confounded, 2 O! let this love constrain us Through suffering, conflict, shame, 408 Don C. M. not we love thee, blessed Lord? And turn the dearest idol out, 2 Is not thy name melodious still 02 Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound, 3 Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock 4 Would not our heart pour forth its blood In honour of thy name? And challenge the cold hand of death 5 Thou knowest that we love thee, Lord; But O! we long to soar Far from the sphere of mortal joys, 409 TEA C. M. EACH us yet more of thy blest ways, And fix and root us in the grace, 2 O tell us often of each wound, And let our hearts with joy confess, 3 For this, O may we freely count And every name, and every thing, 4 Engrave this deeply on our hearts That thus we may, in some degree, THE wonders of that love No earthly tongue can tell, Which brought our Saviour from above 2. For us he wept and bled, And suffered all his pain; For us was numbered with the dead, 3 And still for us he prays, And makes our souls his care; 4 Lord Jesus! grant that we LET us chant melodious hymns, Loud as those of cherubims; Join with heart and tongue to bless Christ our strength and righteousness. 2 All our praise to thee belongs, Theme of our sublimest songs; Object of our choicest love, Thee we laud with hosts above." 3 Thee we hail with joint acclaim, JESUS! Jesus! dearest Lord, For very love, thy sacred name 2 We love thee so, we know not how 3 For thou to us art all in all, 4 Burn, burn, O love, within our heart JESUS! the very thought of thee With sweetness fills the breast; 2 Jesus! may all thy saving name, And seeking thee, themselves inflame 3 Jesus! who dost all hearts below 4 Jesus! our only joy be thou, 414 C. M. D. WE E love thee, Lord, because when we Had err'd and gone astray, Thou didst recall our wandering souls When helpless, hopeless, we were lost Thou didst send forth a guiding ray 2 Because when we forsook thy ways, Thou wert not an avenging Judge, 3 Because, O Lord, thou lovedst us Because thou gavest thy Son to die, Because, when we were heirs of wrath," We love, because we much have sinned, 415 8s, 7s & 4s. GLORY, glory everlasting, Be to him who bore the cross, Who redeemed his people thus. |
