1) What shall I do, my God to love,
My loving God to praise!
The length, and breadth, and height to prove
And depth of sovereign grace?
2) Thy sovereign grace to all extends,
Immense and unconfined;
From age to age it never ends,
It reaches all mankind.
3) Throughout the world its breadth is known,
Wide as infinity,
So wide it never...

1) What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this
that caused the Lord of bliss
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul?
2) When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
when I was sinking down, sinking...

1) When a knight won his spurs in the stories of old,
He was gentle and brave, he was gallant and bold;
With a shield on his arm and a lance in his hand,
For God and for valour he rode through the land.
2) No charger have I, and no sword by my side,
Yet still to adventure and battle I ride,
Though back into storyland giants have fled,
And...

1) When all thy mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view, I’m lost
in wonder, love, and praise.
2) Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ,
nor is the least a cheerful heart,
that tastes those gifts with joy.
3) Through ev’ry period of my life
thy goodness I’ll pursue,
and after...

1) When Christ was born of Mary free,
In Bethlehem, that fair city,
Angels sung e're with mirth and glee,
Ref.: In excelsis gloria,
gloria, gloria,
In excelsis gloria,
Christo paremus cantica,
In excelsis gloria.
2) Herdmen beheld these angels bright--
To them appearéd with great light,
And said, 'God's Son is born...

1) When I can read my title clear
to mansions in the skies,
I'll bid farewell to every fear,
and wipe my weeping eyes;
and wipe my weeping eyes,
and wipe my weeping eyes,
I'll bid farewell to every fear,
and wipe my weeping eyes.
2) Should earth against my soul engage,
and fiery darts be hurled,
then I can smile at...

1) When I saw the cleansing fountain
Open wide for all my sin
I obeyed the Spirit's wooing
When He said wilt thou be clean
Ref.: I will praise Him I will praise Him
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain
Give Him glory all ye people
For His blood can wash away each stain
2) Tho' the way seemed straight and narrow
All I claimed was...

1) 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.
2) 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 through his blood.
3) See, from his head, his hands, his...

1) 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.
2) 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?
3) Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That...

1) When Israel was in Egypt’s land,
let my people go!
Oppressed so hard they could not stand,
let my people go!
Ref.: Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt’s land.
Tell ol’ Pharao: Let my people go!
2) Thus spoke the Lord, bold Moses said:
Let my people go!
If not I’ll smite your first-born dead,
let my people go!
3) No more...
