Growing up in a Christian Church, I’ve sung a lot of hymns. As mentioned in Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs, music, especially hymns, is very important to me. For time’s sake, we would usually sing three of the verses (or sometimes just the first verse) even if there were four or five. While trying to find full versions of these hymns for you to be directed to by clicking the titles, I had some difficulty as, even online, these verses aren’t usually included. Here are some of these “missing verses” that speak important biblical truths.

“And Can It Be” v2-3 – ‘Tis mystery all: th’Immortal dies: Who can explore His strange design? In vain the firstborn seraph triesTo sound the depths of love divine. ‘Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, Let angel minds inquire no more. He left His Father’s throne above So free, so infinite His grace- Humbled Himself because of love, And bled for all His chosen race: ‘Tis mercy all, immense and free, For O my God, it found out me!

“I Am Thine Oh Lord” v3-4 – O the pure delight of a single hour That before Thy throne I spend, When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend! There are depths of love that I yet may know
Ere Thee face to face I see; There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
Ere I rest in peace with Thee. Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To the cross where Thou hast died; Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

“Nothing But The Blood” v2,3,5 – For my cleansing, this I see, Nothing but the blood of Jesus; For my pardon this my plea, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Nothing can for sin atone, Nothing but the blood of Jesus; Naught of good that I have done, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Now by this I’ll overcome- Nothing but the blood of Jesus, Now by this I’ll reach my home- Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know,Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
