Let's Hear It for the Third Verse

[AverageJoe]

3 Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
All who are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive? [Refr

 

[Bob Jones V]

If I ever wrote a hymn, it would only have three verses. Why write the third verse of a four verse hymn when your standard song leader usually skips the third verse. This thread is a chance for the often skipped third verse to shine. Remember, only one third verse per post!

I'd write a hymn with 12 verses.

I'd write a hymn with 12 verses.

O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing​

written by Charles Wesley in 1739

It has 18 original stanzas, reads more like a poem to me.

Lets hear it for the 18th verse??

With me, your chief, you then shall know,
shall feel your sins forgiven;
anticipate your heaven below
and own that love is heaven.

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art

 

[Baptist City Holdout]

Dark the night of sin has settled
Loud the angry billows roar
Eager eyes are watching, longing
For the lights along the shore.

Let the Lower Lights Be Burning
