StF 94

  1. To God be the glory, great things he has done!
    So loved he the world that he gave us his Son,
    who yielded his life in 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 has done!

  1. O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
    to every believer the promise of God!
    And every offender who truly believes,
    that moment from Jesus a pardon receives:
  1. Great things he has taught us, great things he has done,
    and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
    but purer, and higher, and greater will be
    our wonder, our rapture, when Jesus we see:

Frances Jane van Alstyne (Fanny Crosby) (1820–1915)

StF 362

  1. Meekness and majesty,
    manhood and deity,
    in perfect harmony —
    the man who is God.
    Lord of eternity,
    dwells in humanity,
    kneels in humility
    and washes our feet.

Oh, what a mystery —
meekness and majesty:
bow down and worship,
for this is your God,
this is your God!

  1. Father’s pure radiance,
    perfect in innocence,
    yet learns obedience
    to death on a cross:
    suffering to give us life,
    conquering through sacrifice —
    and as they crucify,
    prays, ‘Father forgive.’
  1. Wisdom unsearchable,
    God the invisible,
    love indestructible
    in frailty appears:
    Lord of infinity,
    stooping so tenderly,
    lifts our humanity
    to the heights of his throne.

Graham Kendrick (b. 1950)

StF 516

  1. What shall I do my God to love,
    my Saviour, and the world's, to praise?
    Whose tenderest compassions move
    to me and all the fallen race,
    whose mercy is divinely free
    for all the fallen race, and me!
  1. I long to know, and to make known,
    the heights and depths of love divine,
    the kindness thou to me hast shown,
    whose every sin was counted thine:
    my God for me resigned his breath;
    he died to save my soul from death.
  1. How shall I thank thee for the grace
    on me and all the world bestowed?
    O that my every breath were praise!
    O that my heart were filled with God!
    My heart would then with love o'erflow,
    and all my life thy glory show.

Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

MP 987

  1. Here is love, vast as the ocean,
    loving kindness 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 heaven's eternal days.
  1. 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 heaven's peace and perfect justice
    kissed a guilty world in love.
  1. 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.
    You alone shall be my glory;
    nothing in the world I see:
    you have cleansed and sanctified me;
    you yourself have set me free.

William Rees (1802-1883)
Translator: William Edwards (1848-1929)

StF 503

  1. Love divine, all loves excelling,
    joy of heaven to earth come down,
    fix in us thy humble dwelling,
    all thy faithful mercies crown.
    Jesu, thou art all compassion,
    pure, unbounded love thou art;
    visit us with thy salvation,
    enter every trembling heart.
  1. Come, almighty to deliver,
    let us all thy life receive;
    suddenly return, and never,
    never more thy temples leave.
    Thee we would be always blessing,
    serve thee as thy hosts above,
    pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
    glory in thy perfect love.
  1. Finish then thy new creation,
    pure and spotless let us be;
    let us see thy great salvation,
    perfectly restored in thee:
    changed from glory into glory,
    till in heaven we take our place,
    till we cast our crowns before thee,
    lost in wonder, love, and praise!

StF 125

  1. Praise and thanksgiving,
    Father, we offer,
    for all things living
    you have made good;
    harvest of sown fields,
    fruits of the orchard,
    hay from the mown fields,
    blossom and wood.
  1. Lord, bless the labour
    we bring to serve you,
    that with our neighbour
    we may be fed.
    Sowing or tilling,
    we would work with you;
    harvesting, milling,
    for daily bread.
  1. Father, providing
    food for your children,
    your wisdom guiding
    teaches us share
    one with another,
    so that, rejoicing,
    sister and brother
    may know your care.
  1. Then will your blessing
    reach every people;
    each one confessing
    your gracious hand.
    When you are reigning
    no one will hunger:
    your love sustaining
    fruitful the land.

StF 130

  1. We plough the fields, and scatter
    the good seed on the land,
    but it is fed and watered
    by God's almighty hand;
    he sends the snow in winter,
    the warmth to swell the grain,
    the breezes and the sunshine,
    and soft, refreshing rain.

All good gifts around us
are sent from heaven above;
then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord,
for all his love.

  1. He only is the maker
    of all things near and far;
    he paints the wayside flower,
    he lights the evening star;
    the winds and waves obey him,
    by him the birds are fed;
    much more to us, his children,
    he gives our daily bread.
  1. We thank you then, O Father,
    for all things bright and good:
    the seed-time and the harvest,
    our life, our health, our food.
    Accept the gifts we offer
    for all your love imparts,
    and, what you most desire,
    our humble, thankful hearts.

Matthias Claudius (1740–1815)
translated by Jane Montgomery Campbell (1817–1878)

StF 727

  1. God in his love for us lent us this planet,
    gave it a purpose in time and in space:
    small as a spark from the fire of creation,
    cradle of life and the home of our race.
  1. Thanks be to God for its bounty and beauty,
    life that sustains us in body and mind:
    plenty for all, if we learn how to share it,
    riches undreamed-of to fathom and find.
  1. Long have our human wars ruined its harvest;
    long has earth bowed to the terror of force;
    long have we wasted what others have needed,
    poisoned the fountain of life at its source.
  1. Earth is the Lord's: it is ours to enjoy it,
    ours, as God's stewards, to farm and defend.
    From its pollution, misuse, and destruction,
    good Lord, deliver us, world without end!

StF 123

  1. Come, you thankful people, come,
    raise the song of harvest home!
    Fruit and crops are gathered in
    safe before the storms begin:
    God our maker will provide
    for our needs to be supplied;
    come, with all his people, come,
    raise the song of harvest home!
  1. All the world is God's own field,
    harvests for his praise to yield;
    wheat and weeds together sown
    here for joy or sorrow grown:
    first the blade and then the ear,
    then the full corn shall appear —
    Lord of harvest, grant that we
    wholesome grain and pure may be.
  1. For the Lord our God shall come
    and shall bring his harvest home;
    he himself on that great day,
    worthless things shall take away,
    give his angels charge at last
    in the fire the weeds to cast,
    but the fruitful ears to store
    in his care for evermore.
  1. Even so, Lord, quickly come —
    bring your final harvest home!
    Gather all your people in
    free from sorrow, free from sin,
    there together purified,
    ever thankful at your side —
    come, with all your angels, come,
    bring that glorious harvest home!
