I Realize...that It Has Been Ages Since I Did A Hymn.

 Therefore.....

This post is a hymn.

When I Survey The Wondrous Cross

 

When I survey the wondrous cross,

On which the Prince of Glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss,

And pour contempt on all my pride.

 

Forbid it Lord, that I should boast,

Save in the death of Christ, my God;

All the vain things that charm me most,

I sacrifice them to His blood.

 

See, from His head, His hands, His feet,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down;

Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,

Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

 

Were the whole realm of nature mine,

That were a present far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my life, my all.

 

written by Isaac Watts

 



Angels From the Realms of Glory

Angels from the realms of glory
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
Ye who sang creation's story
Now proclaim Messiah's birth.

Chorus:
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ,

The newborn King.

Shepherds in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night;
God with man is now residing
Yonder shines the infant light.

Chorus

Sages leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of Nations,
Ye have seen his natal star.

Chorus

Saints, before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear;
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear!

Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ,
The newborn King.

I just love this Christmas song!
What do you think of it?



Channels Only



 



How I praise Thee, precious Savior,

That Thy love laid hold of me;

Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me

That I might Thy channel be.

 

 

Channels only, blessed Master

But with all Thy wondrous pow'r

Flowing thru us, Thou canst use us

Every day, and every hour.
 

Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me,

A clean vessel in Thy hand;

With no pow'r bu as thou givest

Graciously, with each command.

Channels only, blessed Master

But with all Thy wondrous pow'r

Flowing thru us, Thou canst use us

Every day, and every hour.
 

Witnessing Thy pow'r to save me,

Setting free from self and sin;

Thou who boughtest to posses me,

In Thy fullness, Lord, come in.
 

Channels only, blessed Master

But with all Thy wondrous pow'r

Flowing thru us, Thou canst use us

Every day, and every hour.
 

Jesus, fill now with Thy Spirit,
Hearts that full surrender know;
That the streams of living water
From our inner man may flow.

Channels only, blessed Master

But with all Thy wondrous pow'r                                                                                     

Flowing thru us, Thou canst use us                                                                                    

Every day, and every hour.

I Know.....

Yes, it's been forever. And no, my computer is not fixed. I'm writing this on a different computer.

and I think it's time for a hymn..

More about Jesus would I know,
More of His grace to others show;
More of His saving fulness see,
More of His love who died for me.

More, More about Jesus,
More, more, about Jesus,
More of His saving fulness see,
More of His love who died for me.

If you liked it, comment, and I'll post more!

Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise...hymn!

Here is another hymn that I really like. I wish I could post the music for it also, but oh well.

Immortal, invisible God only wise,
In light inaccessible, hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small,
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish like leaves on a tree,
And wither and perish - but naught changeth Thee.

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render; O help us to see
'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!

by Walter Chalmers Smith

So what do you think?

A Flag to Follow

This is a hymn I really like the words to. They sound so adventurous!

I sought a flag to follow
A cause for which to stand,
I sought a valiant leader,
Who could my love command;
I sought a stirring challenge,
Some noble work to try,
To give my life fulfillment,
My dreams to satisfy.

I sought a ringing answer
For all my doubts inside
A torch of truth uplifted,
My searching steps to guide;
I sought a word of wisdom,
A true authority,
I sought to know life's purpose,
To solve its mystery.

I sought for satisfaction,
For yearnings deep withiin,
I sought for full deliverance
From chains of guilt and sin;
I sought for peace and pardon,
For freedom from my fears,
I sought a hope to cling to
Beyond these passing years.

I found them all in Jesus,
The Life, the Truth, the Way;
Beneath His flag I'll take my stand
And follow Him today.
