DEEPER, DEEPER
Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus Daily let me go; Higher, higher in the school of wisdom, More of grace to know.
O deeper yet, I pray, And higher every day, And wiser, blessèd Lord, In Thy precious, holy Word.
Deeper, deeper, blessèd Holy Spirit, Take me deeper still, Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus, And His perfect will.
Deeper, deeper! though it cost hard trials, Deeper let me go! Rooted in the holy love of Jesus, Let me fruitful grow.
Deeper, higher, every day in Jesus, Till all conflict past, Finds me conquror, and in His own image Perfected at last.
Deeper, deeper in the faith of Jesus, Holy faith and true; In His powr and soul exulting wisdom Let me peace pursue.

| Re: Post your favorite Hyms here. | | Here is a favorite of mine that is quite similar to the one you shared:
Deeper and Deeper Oswald J. Smith
Into the heart of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go, Seeking to know the reason Why He should love me so, Why He should stoop to lift me Up from the miry clay, Saving my soul, making me whole, Though I had wandered away.
Into the will of Jesus, Deeper and deeper I go, Praying for grace to follow, Seeking His way to know; Bowing in full surrender Low at His blessèd feet, Bidding Him take, break me and make, Till I am molded, complete.
Into the cross of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go, Following through the garden, Facing the dreaded foe; Drinking the cup of sorrow, Sobbing with broken heart, O Savior, help! Dear Savior, help! Grace for my weakness impart.
Into the joy of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go, Rising, with soul enraptured, Far from the world below. Joy in the place of sorrow, Peace in the midst of pain, Jesus will give, Jesus will give; He will uphold and sustain.
Into the love of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go, Praising the One Who brought me Out of my sin and woe; And through eternal ages Gratefully I shall sing, O how He loved! O how He loved! Jesus, my Lord and my King!

| Re: Post your favorite Hyms here. | | [b]In The Garden[/b] Words & Music: C. Austin Miles
I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I hear falling on my ear The Son of God discloses.
Refrain; And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice, Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing.
Refrain
I’d stay in the garden with Him Though the night around me be falling, But He bids me go; through the voice of woe His voice to me is calling.

| Re: | | John Wesley sang this hymn on his deathbed, and I imagine with tears streaming down his face:
I’ll praise my Maker while I’ve breath, And when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler powers; My days of praise shall ne’er be past, While life, and thought, and being last, Or immortality endures.
Why should I make a man my trust? Princes must die and turn to dust; Vain is the help of flesh and blood: Their breath departs, their pomp, and power, And thoughts, all vanish in an hour, Nor can they make their promise good.
Happy the man whose hopes rely On Israel’s God: He made the sky, And earth, and seas, with all their train: His truth for ever stands secure; He saves th’oppressed, He feeds the poor, And none shall find His promise vain.
The Lord has eyes to give the blind; The Lord supports the sinking mind; He sends the labr’ing conscience peace; He helps the stranger in distress, The widow, and the fatherless, And grants the pris’ner sweet release.
He loves His saints, He knows them well, But turns the wicked down to hell; Thy God, O Zion! ever reigns: Let every tongue, let every age, In this exalted work engage; Praise Him in everlasting strains.
I’ll praise Him while He lends me breath, And when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler powers; My days of praise shall ne’er be past, While life, and thought, and being last, Or immortality endures.
- Isaac Watts

| Re: Post your favorite Hyms here. | | You said favorites and hymns. hehehehehe. I'm gonna be greedy and post two.
Arise, my soul, arise, shake off your guilty fears; The bleeding sacrifice, in my behalf appears; Before the throne my Surety stands, Before the throne my Surety stands, My name is written on His hands.
He ever lives above, for me to intercede; His all redeeming love, His precious blood, to plead; His blood atoned for every race, His blood atoned for every race, And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
Five bleeding wounds He bears; received on Calvary; They pour effectual prayers; they strongly plead for me: "Forgive him, O forgive," they cry, "Forgive him, O forgive," they cry, "Nor let that ransomed sinner die!"
The Father hears Him pray, His dear anointed One; He cannot turn away the presence of His Son; The Spirit answers to the blood, The Spirit answers to the blood And tells me I am born of God.
My God is reconciled; His pardoning voice I hear; He owns me for His child; I can no longer fear With confidence I now draw nigh, With confidence I now draw nigh, And "Father, Abba, Father," cry.
And
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 as leaves on the 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!
But ah, my list of favorite hymn's grows everyday... the evening light ones here on this site are spectacular. _________________ Melanie

| Re: | | Words: Josiah Conder, 1836.
Music: Whitfield, anonymous
My Lord, I did not choose You, For that could never be; My heart would still refuse You, Had You not chosen me. You took the sin that stained me, You cleansed me, made me new; Of old You have ordained me, That I should live in You.
Unless Your grace had called me And taught my opning mind, The world would have enthralled me, To heavnly glories blind. My heart knows none above You; For Your rich grace I thirst; I know that if I love You, You must have loved me first.

| Re: | | Probably one of my favourites...
Approach My Soul Words: John Newton, Olney Hymns
Approach, my soul, the mercy seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before His feet, For none can perish there.
Thy promise is my only plea, With this I venture nigh; Thou callest burdened souls to Thee, And such, O Lord, am I.
Bowed down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely pressed, By war without and fears within, I come to Thee for rest.
Be Thou my Shield and hiding Place, That, sheltered by Thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him Thou hast died!
O wondrous love! to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead Thy gracious Name.

| Re: | | You know in doing this, I find myself like a kid in a candy store!!!! So here is yet another.
Come Ye Sinners, Words: Joseph Hart
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love and power.
Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome, Gods free bounty glorify; True belief and true repentance, Every grace that brings you nigh.
Come, ye weary, heavy laden, Lost and ruined by the fall; If you tarry till youre better, You will never come at all.
View Him prostrate in the garden; On the ground your Maker lies. On the bloody tree behold Him; Sinner, will this not suffice?
Lo! thincarnate God ascended, Pleads the merit of His blood: Venture on Him, venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude.
Let not conscience make you linger, Not of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness He requireth Is to feel your need of Him.
[i]Refrain I will arise and go to Jesus, He will embrace me in His arms; In the arms of my dear Savior, O there are ten thousand charms.[/i]

| Re: | | As I've walked out my christian life I've been through some times where it seemed as if God had hidden Himself and during those times I learned to dearly love the hymn [i]I Would Love Thee[/i]
I'm not sure at the moment who wrote the song but I'll come back and edit this post with the author's name.
[i][b]I Would Love Thee[/b][/i]
I would love Thee God and Father My Redeemer and my King I would love Thee For without Thee Life is but a bitter thing
I would love Every blessing Flows to me from out Thy throne I would love Thee He who loves Thee Never feels himself alone
I would love Thee Look upon me Ever guide me with Thine eye I would love Thee If not nourished By Thy love my soul would die
I would love Thee I have vowed it On Thy love my heart is set While I love Thee I will never My Redeemer's love forget
I sang that song for years before I ever came to realize that life without God is a very bitter thing. Not because "Jesus is my pal" and He makes my life easy, but because He is my life and breath and sustainance. If I were not nourished by the love of my Creator my soul [b]would[/b] die! What a tragedy life is without God! _________________ Jeff Mollman
