have done away with their hymnals and have gone to singing simple choruses on the overhead are missing a vital blessing from our Father in Heaven.  We worship God in knowledge and truth, not just emotion.  There is more theology in a good hymn than there is in a lot of sermons that are being preached today.  Below are some of my favorites.  Try the links.  There are some wonderful sources for hymn lyrics and music on the internet.</B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0d44d0c0.gif" border=0 width="589" height="12" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>"And Can It Be That I Should Gain?"</B></div> <div> <B>Charles Wesley</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>     And can it be that I should gain an interest in the saviour's blood?  Died He for me, who caused His pain?  For me, who Him to death pursued?  Amazing love!  How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?</B></div> <div> <B>     Long my imprisoned spirit lay, Fast bound in sin and nature's night;  Thine eye diffused a quick-ning ray, I woke, the dungeon flamed with light:  My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.</B></div> <div> <B>     No condemnation now I dread, Jesus, with all in Him, is mine;  Alive in Him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach the eternal throne, and claim the crown, thru Christ, my own.</B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG

<div> <B>"I Want a Principle Within"</B></div> <div> <B>Words: Charles Wesley, 1749</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>I want a principle within of watchful, godly fear, a sensibility of sin,  a pain to feel it near. </B></div> <div> <B>I want the first approach to feel of pride or wrong desire, to catch the wandering of my will, and quench the kindling fire.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>From thee that I no more may stray, no more thy goodness grieve, grant me the filial awe, I pray, the tender conscience give.  Quick as the apple of an eye, O God, my conscience make;  awake my soul when sin is nigh,  and keep it still awake.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Almighty God of truth and love, to me thy power impart;  the mountain from my soul remove, the hardness from my heart.  O may the least omission pain my reawakened soul, and drive me to that blood again,  which makes the wounded whole. </B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0d44d0c0.gif" border=0 width="589" height="12" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0"
