Do you know? Do you know?
Know of this wonderful love?
2 This wonderful love to our fallen race,
Who can its measure fitly trace?
For down from his home the Saviour came,
To bleed and die on the cross of shame!
3 High as the heaven extends above,
So is the height of this great love;
The love which the Father hath bestowed,
That we should be called the Sons of God!
CHORUS. - Do you know? etc.
4 We are his children, away from home;
But soon our glorious Lord will come,
And we shall with Him forever prove
The heights and depths of his wondrous love!
CHORUS. Do you know? etc.
Music, "Beale," S. S. Hosanna, p. 74.
HE name that was before his birth
To our Redeemer given,
Is both the dearest name on earth
And brightest one in heaven.
We love to sing of Christ our King,
By the sweet name of Jesus;
And oft we'll raise his song of praise,
Who doth from sin release us.
2 Jesus was first the name of love,
With which the Father crowned Him;
And now, though throned in heaven above,
Its glories still surround Him.
CHORUS. We love to sing of Christ our King, etc.
3 And when from heaven He shall come down,
And from the grave release us,
The brightest jewel in his crown
Will be the name of Jesus.
We love to sing of Christ our King, etc.
4 Dear Lord! may we have each a part
In all thy love's rich treasure ;
Write his dear name upon our heart,
And make thy will our pleasure.
CHORUS. We love to sing of Christ our King, etc.
Music, "Shining Shore," Happy Voices, p. 200; S. S. Bell, p. 104
HERE is no name so sweet on earth,
No name so sweet in heaven,
The name, before his wondrous birth,
To Christ the Saviour given.
CHORUS. We love to sing around our King,
And hail Him "Blessed Jesus,"
For there's no word ear ever heard,
So dear, so sweet as Jesus.
2 His human name they did proclaim,
When Abram's Son they sealed Him;
The name that still, by God's good will,
Deliverer revealed Him.
CHORUS. We love to sing, etc.
3 And when He hung upon the tree,
They wrote this name above Him,
That all might see the reason we
For evermore must love Him.
CHORUS. We love to sing, etc.
4 So now upon his Father's throne,
Almighty to release us
From sins and pains, He gladly reigns
The Prince and Saviour, Jesus.
CHORUS. We love to sing, etc.
III. 3. 8s & 7s.
Music in Oriola, p. 170.
NE there is above all others
Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love beyond a brother's,
Costly, free, and knows no end.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But this Saviour died to have us
Reconciled, in Him, to God.
3 When He lived on earth abaséd,
Friend of Sinners was his name;
Now, above all glory raised,
He rejoices in the same.
4 0 for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love;
We, alas! forget too often
What a Friend we have above.
Music in Oriola, p. 46; Parish Hymnal, p. 114.
HERE'S no other friend like Jesus,
None so faithful, none so true;
Though the waves break wildly o'er us,
He will guide us safely through;
Storms and tempests shrink before Him,
He can calm them at his will ;
Jesus, calm our stormy passions
With thy wondrous "Peace, be still."
2 There's no other friend like Jesus,
He who died our souls to save;
He who dwelt on earth in meekness
Healed, and pitied, and forgave.
Still He pities, still He loves us,
In his holy, happy home,'
And with voice of gracious mercy,
Bids the wandering sinner, come!
3 There's no other friend like Jesus,
Holy angels, chant the song;
Sing his love and wondrous mercy;
Children, join the heavenly throng.
Raise the joyful, happy chorus,
Thank Him for his loving grace,
Let it be your happy portion
To proclaim the Saviour's praise.
Music, "Coronation," S. S. Chant and Tune Book, p. 46.
VERY great shall Jesus be,
And great the honors given
To his dear name on land and sea,
By all in earth and heaven.
2 Great in himself, and in the powers
That meet around his throne;
Great in the means by which He works
To make his glories known.
3 Great in the fullness of his love
That led Him here to die,
That He might bring to heaven above
Such guilty ones as I.
4 Dear Jesus! let thy greatness be
My soul's continual song;
Teach me to make my boast in Thee,
And in thy strength be strong.
Music, "I want to be an Angel," Happy Voices, p. 22.
E thank Thee, blessed Saviour,
That Thou to us hast shown
This undeserved favor
That brings us near thy throne;
And wilt Thou now be near us,
And listen to our cry?
Yes, He has said He'll hear us
When we to Him draw nigh.
2 We know we're all unworthy
These tokens of thy love;
But was it not for sinners
Thou camest from above?
Thou wilt not then reject us
When we thus seek thy face?
No; thy word protects us,
With pledges of thy grace.
3 And, while thy word believing
We hasten to thy side;
We'll freely aid in giving
That word to all beside.
O! let the billows bear it,
The winds its news proclaim,
Till every nation share it
And glorify thy name.
III. 3. 8s & 7s.
Music in Parish Hymnal, p. 104.
ESUS loves me, Jesus loves me;
He is always, always near:
If I try to please Him truly,
There is nought that I can fear.
2 Jesus loves me, - well I know it,
For to save my soul He died:
He for me bore pain and sorrow,
Nailed hands and piercéd side.
3 Jesus loves me,
night and morning
Jesus hears the prayers I pray :
And He never, never leaves me,
When I work or when I play.
4 Jesus loves me, and He watches
Over me with loving eye,
And He sends his holy angels,
Safe to keep me, till I die.
5 Jesus loves me, O Lord Jesus,
Now I pray Thee by thy love,
Keep me ever pure and holy,
Till I come to Thee above!
