* Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.' NE there is, above all others,

Friend ;
His is love beyond a brother's,

Costly, free, and knows no end:
They who once His kindness prove

Find it everlasting love.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,

Could or would have shed their blood ?
mf But our Jesus died to have us

Reconciled in Him to God:
f This was boundless love indeed!

Jesus is a Friend in need.
m 3 When He lived on earth abased,

Friend of sinners was His name;
mf Now, above all glory raised,

He rejoices in the same;
Still He calls them brethren, friends,
And to all their wants attends.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ ?'

ORD Jesus, are we one with Thee ?

O height, O depth of love! тр

Thou one with us upon the tree,

We one with Thee above!
2 Such was Thy grace that for our sake

Thou didst from heaven come down,
With us of flesh and blood partake,

In all our misery one.
mp 3 Our sins, our guilt, in love Divine

Confessed and borne by Thee,
P The gall, the curse, the wrath were Thine,

To set Thy members free.
mf 4 Ascended now, in glory bright,

Still one with us Thou art;
Nor life nor death, nor depth nor height,

Thy saints and Thee can part.
m 5 O teach us, Lord, to know and own

This wondrous mystery,
That Thou with us art truly one

And we are one with Thee.
mf 6 Soon, soon shall come that glorious day

When, seated on Thy throne,
Thou shalt to wondering worlds display
That Thou with us art one.

'If I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you ; but if I depart, I will

send Him unto you.' mp 0

UR blest Redeemer, ere He breathed

His tender last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter bequeathed,

With us to dwell.
m 2 He came in tongues of living flame,

To teach, convince, subdue;
All-powerful as the wind He came,

As viewless too.
mp 3 He came sweet influence to impart,

A gracious, willing Guest,
While He can find one humble heart

Wherein to rest.
4' And His that gentle voice we hear,

Soft as the breath of even,
That checks each fault, that calms each fear,

And speaks of heaven.
And
every

virtue we possess,
And every victory won,
And every thought of holiness

Are His alone.
mp 6 Spirit of purity and grace,

Our weakness, pitying, see;
O make our hearts Thy dwelling-place,
And worthier Thee.

흡입 f 7 O praise the Father; praise the Son;

Blest Spirit, praise to Thee :
All praise to God, the Three in One,
The One in Three!

'And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind!

WHEN

CHEN God of old came down from heaven

In power and wrath He came;
Before His feet the clouds were riven,

Half darkness and half flame.
2 But, when He came the second time,

He came in power and love;
mp

Softer than gale at morning prime

Hovered His holy Dove.
m 3 The fires that rushed on Sinai down

In sudden torrents dread
тр Now gently light, a glorious crown,

On every sainted head.
m 4 And, as on Israel's awe-struck ear

The voice exceeding loud,
The trump that angels quake to hear,

Thrilled from the deep, dark cloud,
5 So, when the Spirit of our God

Came down his flock to find,
A voice from heaven was heard abroad,

A rushing mighty wind.
6 It fills the Church of God; it fills

The sinful world around;
тр

Only in stubborn hearts and wills

No place for it is found.
m 7 Come, Lord; come, Wisdom, Love, and Power ;
Open our ears to hear;

A · men.
Let us not miss the accepted hour;
d
Save, Lord, by love or fear.
