Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Author: Johann Franck, 1618-77; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.3.4.8.6 Appears in 134 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless Treasure, Fount of purest pleasure, Truest Friend to me. Ah, how long in anguish Shall my spirit languish, Yearning, Lord, for thee? Thou art mine, O Lamb divine! I will suffer naught to hide thee, Naught I ask beside thee. 2 In thine arms I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, Ev'ry heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Lightnings flash And thunders crash; Yet, tho' sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Satan, I defy thee; Death, I now decry thee; Fear, I bid thee cease. World, thou shalt not harm me Nor thy threats alarm me While I sing of peace. God's great pow'r Guards ev'ry hour; Earth and all its depths adore him, Silent bow before him. 4 Hence, all earthly treasure! Jesus is my pleasure; Jesus is my choice. Hence, all empty glory! Naught to me thy story Told with tempting voice. Pain or loss Or shame or cross Shall not from my Savior move me Since he deigns to love me. 5 Hence, all fear and sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within. Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Thou art still my purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure!

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

I came to Jesus as I was, Weary and worn and sad; I found in him a resting place, And he has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give The living water, thirsty one; Stoop down and drink and live." I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light. Look unto me; your morn shall rise And all your day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found In him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I'll walk Till trav'ling days are done.

As thou hast died for me, Oh, may my love to thee Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire! 3 While life's dark maze I tread And griefs around me spread, Be thou my guide. Bid darkness turn to day, Wipe sorrow's tears away, Nor let me ever stray From thee aside. 4 When ends life's transient dream, When death's cold, sullen stream Shall o'er me roll, Blest Savior, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; Oh, bear me safe above, A ransomed soul!

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman, c. 1624-83 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 129 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, My Savior's love to me, Love to the loveless shown That they might lovely be. Oh, who am I That for my sake My Lord should take Frail flesh and die? 2 He came from his blest throne Salvation to bestow, But such disdain! So few The longed-for Christ would know! But oh, my friend, My friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew his way And his sweet praises sing, Resounding all the day Hosannas to their King. Then "Crucify!" Is all their breath, And for his death They thirst and cry. 4 Why? What has my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run; He gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these Themselves displease And 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise and needs will have My dear Lord made away. A murderer they save; The Prince of life they slay. Yet cheerful he To suff'ring goes That he his foes From death might free. 6 In life no house, no home My Lord on earth might have; In death no friendly tomb But what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heav'n was his home But mine the tomb Wherein he lay. 7 Here might I stay and sing; No story so divine, Never was love, dear King, Never was grief like thine. This is my friend, In whose sweet praise I all my days Could gladly spend! Topics: Lent; Lent Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; He helps us free from ev'ry need That has us now o'ertaken. The old evil foe Now means deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight; On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done; Soon were our loss effected. But for us fights the valiant one Whom God himself elected. You ask, "Who is this?" Jesus Christ it is, The almighty Lord. And there's no other God; He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill; They shall not overpow'r us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none. He's judged; the deed is done! One little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain, Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain With his good gifts and Spirit. And do what they will -- Hate, steal, hurt, or kill -- Though all may be gone, Our victory is won; The kingdom's ours forever!

Brightest and Best

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 914 hymnals First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid. Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining; Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall. Angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and monarch and Savior of all. 3 Shall we not yield him in costly devotion Rarest of fragrances, tribute divine, Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we bring him the finest of off'rings, Vainly with gifts would his favor secure. Richer by far is the praise that the heart brings; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid. Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Topics: Epiphany; Epiphany Used With Tune: MORNING STAR
