Appears in 2,016 hymnals First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ, my God, All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown. 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. Used With Tune: [When I survey the wondrous cross]

I've Found a Friend

Appears in 393 hymnals First Line: I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! Lyrics: 1 I’ve found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! He loved me ere I knew him; He drew me with the cords of love, And thus He bound me to him. And 'round my heart still closely twine Those ties which naught can sever, For I am his and he is mine, Forever and forever. 2 I’ve found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! He bled, he died to save me; And not alone the gift of life, But his own self he gave me. Naught that I have my own I call, I hold it for the Giver: My heart, my strength, my life, my all, Are his, and his forever. 3 I’ve found a Friend, oh such a Friend! All pow'r to him is given; To guard me on my onward course, And bring me save to heaven. Th'eternal glories gleam afar, To nerve my faint endeavor; So now to watch, to work, to war, And then to rest forever. 4 I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! So kind, and true, and tender, So wise a Counselor and Guide, So mighty a Defender! From him who loves me now so well, What power my soul can sever? Shall life or death, shall earth or hell? No; I am his forever. Used With Tune: [I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend!] Text Sources: From "Word and Work."

They all shall sweetly obey my will, Peace, peace, be still! 2 Master, with anguish of spirit I bow in my grief today; The depths of my sad heart are troubled, Oh, waken and save, I pray! Torrents of sin and of anguish Sweep o’er my sinking soul; And I perish! I perish, dear Master, O, hasten, and take control. [Chorus] 3 Master, the terror is over, The elements sweetly rest; Earth’s sun in the calm lake is mirror'd, And heaven’s within my breast; Linger, O blessed Redeemer, Leave me alone no more; And with joy I shall make the blest harbor, And rest on the blissful shore.
