Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Tune: SAGINA, Thomas Campbell, 1800-76 1. And can it be that I should gain an int'rest in the Saviour's blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain? For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! how can it be that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? (repeat) 2. 'Tis mystery all: th'Immortal dies: who can explore His strange design? In vain the firstborn seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine. 'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds inquire no more. (repeat) 3. He left His Father's throne above: so free, so infinite His grace; emptied Himself of all but love, and bled for Adam's helpless race. 'tis mercy all, immense and free, for, O my God, it found out me! (repeat) 4. Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature's night; Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray, I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; my chains fell off, my heart was free; I rose, went forth and followed Thee. (repeat) 5 No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine! Alive in Him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine, bold I approach th'eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ my own. (repeat) + Hymn 2 Lead Me to Calvary Jennie E Hussey 1874-1958 Tune: DUNCANNON, William J Kirkpatrick, 1838-1921 1. King of my life, I crown Thee now, Thine shall the glory be; lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow, lead me to Calvary. Lest I forget Gethsemane; lest I forget Thine agony; lest I forget Thy love for me, lead me to Calvary. 2. Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid, tenderly mourned and wept; angels in robes of light arrayed guarded Thee whilst Thou slept. Lest I ... 3. Let me, like Mary, through the gloom, come with a gift to Thee; show to me now the empty tomb, Lead me to Calvary. Lest I ... 4. May I be willing, Lord, to bear daily my cross for Thee; even Thy cup of grief to share, Thou hast borne all for me. Lest I ... ++ Hymn 3 Tell me the Old, Old Story Kate Hankey, 1834-1911 Tune: TELL ME THE OLD, OLD STORY, William H Doane, 1832-1915 1. Tell me the old, old story of unseen things above, of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love. Tell me the story simply, as to a little child, for I am weak and weary, and helpless and defiled. Tell me ... 2. Tell me the story slowly, that I may take it in: that wonderful redemption, God's remedy for sin. Tell me the story often, for I forget so soon; the early dew of morning has passed away at noon. Tell me ... 3. Tell me the story softly, with earnest tones and grave; remember, I'm the sinner whom Jesus came to save. Tell me the story always, if you would really be, in any time of trouble, a comforter to me. Tell me ... 4. Tell me the same old story when you have cause to fear that this world's empty glory is costing me too dear. Yes, and when that world's glory is dawning on my soul, tell me the old, old story: 'Christ Jesus makes thee whole.' Tell me ... + Hymn 4 Here Is Love, Vast As The Ocean, William Rees, 1802-83; tr William Edwards, 1848-1929 Tune: JESUS ONLY (DIM OND IESU), Dr. Robert Lowry, 1826-99 1. Here is love, vast as the ocean, lovingkindness as the flood: when the Prince of Life, our Ransom, shed for us His precious blood. Who His love will not remember? Who can cease to sing His praise? He can never be forgotten throughout heav'n's eternal days. 2. On the mount of crucifixion fountains opened deep and wide; through the floodgates of God's mercy flowed a vast and gracious tide. Grace and love, like mighty rivers, poured incessant from above, and heav'n's peace and perfect justice kissed a guilty world in love. 3. Let me, all Thy love accepting, Love Thee, ever all my days; Let me seek Thy kingdom only, And my life be to Thy praise; Thou alone shall be my glory, Nothing in the world I see; Thou have cleansed and sanctified me, Thou Thyself have set me free. 4. In Thy truth Thou dost direct me by Thy Spirit through Thy word; and Thy grace my need is meeting as I trust in Thee, my Lord. Of Thy fulness Thou art pouring from Thine endless wells above, without measure, full and boundless, as I yield myself to Thee.
