The love of Christ constraineth us, because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead; and that he died for all, that they who live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him who died for them and rose again, 2 Corinthians 5:14-15.
If the love and power of Christ shall constrain us, we must needs be always meditating and relying on him and his death. This will cut off all workings of our own, and make room for Christ to work every thing in us and through us. O Lord, may thy love on the cross, fire my frozen heart also, that once I may begin to love and praise thee purely and fervently, and to offer my whole life up to thee as an entire sacrifice of love.
Raise your triumphant songs
To an immortal tune,
Let the wide earth resound the deeds
Celestial grace has done.
Sing how eternal love
Its chief beloved chose,
And bid him raise our wretched race
From their abyss of woes.
Now, sinners, dry your tears,
Let hopeless sorrows cease;
Bow to the scepter of his love.
And take the offered peace.
Lord, we obey thy call;
We lay a humble claim
To the salvation thou hast brought,
And love and praise thy name.
