Chorus 226 - 230

226     (Ab)     OB 187
That God should love a sinner such as I,
Should yearn to change my sorrow into bliss,
Nor rest till He had planned to bring me nigh,
How wonderful is love like this.
Such love, such wondrous love,
Such love, such wondrous love,
That God should love a sinner such as I,
How wonderful is love like this.
 
2) That Christ should join
So freely in the scheme,
Although it meant His death on Calvary,
Did ever human tongue find nobler theme
Than love divine that ransomed me?
 
3) That for a wilful outcast such as I,
The Father planned,
The Saviour bled and died;
Redemption for a worthless slave to buy,
Who long had law and grace defied.
 
4) And now He takes me to His heart, a son,
He asks me not to fill a servant's place,
The far off country wand'rings all are done,
Wide open are His arms of grace.
 
227    (Bb)    MP 503
My heart can sing,
When I pause to remember,
A heartache here is but a stepping stone,
Along the trail
That's winding always upward,
This troubled world is not my final home.
But until then, my heart
Shall go on singing,
Until then, with joy I'll carry on,
Until the day my eyes behold the city,
Until the day God calls me home.
 
2) The things of earth
Will dim and lose their value,
If we recall, they're borrowed for a while,
And things of earth
That cause the heart to tremble,
Remember there, will only bring a smile.
 
228    (F)    MP 127
God said set my people free
And let them go,
God said set my people free
And let them go,
God said set my people free
And let them go,
Into the promised land.
He's able, He's able, I know He's able,
I know my Lord is able,
To carry me through.
He's able, He's able, I know He's able,
I know my Lord is able
To carry me through.
 
He heals the broken hearted;
And sets the captives free,
He'll raise the dead to life again,
And calm the troubled sea.
 
He's able, He's able,
I know He's able,
I know my Lord is able,
To carry me through
 
229    (Bb)    RH 631 MP 361
I serve a risen Saviour,
He's in the world today;
I know that He is living,
Whatever men may say;
I see His hand of mercy,
I hear His voice of cheer,
And just the time I need Him,
He's always near.
He lives, He lives,
Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life's narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart,
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart.
 
2) In all the world around me,
I see His loving care,
And though my heart grows weary
I never will despair
I know that He is leading,
Through all the stormy blast,
The day of His appearing,
Will come at last.
 
3) Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian,
Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs to Jesus Christ the King!
The hope of all who seek Him,
The help of all who find,
None other is so loving, so good and kind.
 
230    (Ab)    RH 47 MP 413
To God be the glory,
Great things He hath done,
So loved He the world
That He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear His voice,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice,
O come, to the Father
Through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory,
Great things He hath done.
 
2) O perfect redemption,
The purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
 
3) Great things He hath taught us,
Great things He hath done.
And great our rejoicing
Through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport
When Jesus we see.
