Wondrous Love ~ in the Savior’s suffering and death
Ah, Holy Jesus Text by Johann Heermann, 1630 Tune by Johann Crüger Setting by Carolyn Jennings
Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended, That man to judge thee hath in hate pretended? By foes derided, by thine own rejected, O most afflicted. For me, kind Jesus, was thine incarnation, Thy mortal sorrow, and thy life’s oblation; Thy death of anguish and thy bitter Passion, For my salvation. Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay thee, I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee, Think on thy pity and thy love unswerving, Not my deserving.
An offering designated for tuition assistance at Martin Luther College will be gathered during the handbell selection.
We thank you for your prayerful support of our students as they train for gospel service.
How Deep the Father’s Love For Us Stuart Townend Arranged for handbells by Peggy Bettcher
This handbell arrangement is based on the contemporary Lenten hymn “How Deep the Father’s Love for Us.” The text of this hymn is included below:
How deep the Father’s love for us, how vast beyond all measure, that he should give his only Son to make a wretch his treasure. How great the pain of searing loss - the Father turns his face away, as wounds which mar the Chosen One bring many sons to glory. Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon his shoulders; ashamed, I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers. It was my sin that held him there until it was accomplished; his dying breath has brought me life - I know that it is finished. I will not boast in anything, no gifts, no power, no wisdom; but I will boast in Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection. Why should I gain from his reward? I cannot give an answer; but this I know with all my heart - his wounds have paid my ransom.
Were You There Arranged for strings by Phillip Keveren

I know that my Redeemer lives, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. And though my body be destroyed, yet in my flesh shall I see God. Alleluia, I know that my Redeemer lives. Now we see in a glass dimly, but then, face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall know as I am known. Alleluia, I know that my Redeemer lives. His Battle Ended There African Angoni War Song Paraphrased and Adapted by Tom Colvin Setting by John Eggert

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling Text by Charles Wesley Tune by Rowland H. Prichard Setting by Mack Wilberg Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven to earth come down. Fix in us thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crown! Jesus, thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art; visit us with thy salvation, enter every trembling heart. Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit into every troubled breast! Let us all in thee inherit; let us find thy promised rest; take away the love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; end of faith, as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty. Come, Almighty to deliver, let us all thy life receive; suddenly return and never, nevermore 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.
