O My Savior, Thou Art Precious

Author: Kate Ulmer Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O my Savior, Thou art precious! Lyrics: 1 O my Savior, Thou art precious! Precious in life’s darkest hour; Tho’ mine eyes have never beheld Thee, Yet my life has felt Thy power. In the deepest, darkest midnight, Bound by chains of death and sin, Thou, the great and strong Deliverer, Liberty and life didst win. 2 O my Savior, Thou art precious! When the storms of sorrow break, When the heart with anguish quivers, And our faith no song can wake. Then how sweetly comes the message— Cast thy every care on Me! I have carried all thy sorrows, All thy griefs have borne for thee. 3 O my Savior, Thou art precious! When the temper would ensnare, And my flesh, so weak and sinful, Fain would lend a listening ear; Then Thy Spirit’s gentle pleading Falls upon my wavering heart, Bringing faith’s shield to remembrance, Which can quench each fiery dart. 4 Precious Savior, ever so precious, Dearer far than all to me; Tho’ mine eyes have never beheld Thee, Yet, some day, Thy face I’ll see. How my heart with joy shall quiver, How my ransomed tongue will sing, When in all Thy wondrous beauty I behold my Savior King! Used With Tune: MEERUT Text Sources: Song Praises by Charles H. Gabriel (Carbondale, IL: Egyptian Publishing Company, 1906)

As Those Who Seek The Break Of Day

Author: William C. Dix Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As those who seek the break of day Full early in the morning, The women came where Jesus lay, Who late had borne the scorning. Sweet ointment in their hands they brought, And ere the sun had risen, The Sun of Righteousness they sought, Now set within death’s prison. 2 And thus they cried—the body here, Let us give new anointing ; The quick’ning flesh, the body dear, Which by divine appointing From this dark sepulcher shall rise, And Adam’s race deliver, And lift the fallen to the skies To reign in bliss for ever. 3 And like the Magi, hasten we To Him with love adoring; Sweet spices, too, our gifts shall be, And we must weep, imploring That He, in swaddling clothes no more, But in fine linen lying, Would grant the fallen when life is o’er, The gift of life undying.
