Jesus, Lover of my soul

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #231 (1893) Lyrics: 1 JESUS, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the waters nearer roll, While the tempest still is high! Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee: Leave, ah, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me! All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring: Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Wilt Thou not regard my call? Wilt Thou not accept my prayer? Lo! I sink, I faint, I fall; Lo! on Thee I cast my care. Reach me out Thy gracious hand! While I of Thy strength receive, Hoping against hope, I stand, Dying, and, behold, I live! 4 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find: Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name; I am all unrighteousness: False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace. 5 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee: Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

Jesus, priceless Treasure

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #232 (1893) Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Lyrics: 1 JESUS, priceless Treasure, Source of purest pleasure, Truest Friend to me! Long my heart hath panted, 'Till is well-nigh fainted, Thirsting after Thee! Thine I am O spotless Lamb! I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Ask for naught beside Thee. 2 In Thine arm I rest me, Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here; Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear; Sin and hell, in conflict fell, With their heaviest storms assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Satan, I defy thee; Death, I need not fly thee; Fear, I bid thee cease! Rage, O world, thy noises Cannot drown our voices Singing still of peace, For God's power guards every hour; Earth and all its depths adore Him, Silent bow before Him. 4 Wealth, I will not heed thee, Wherefore should I need thee? Jesus is my Joy! Honors, ye may glisten, But I will not listen, Ye the soul destroy! Want or loss or shame or cross Ne'er to leave my Lord shall love me, Since He deigns to love me. 5 Farewell, thou who choosest Earth and heaven refusest, Thou wilt tempt in vain; Farewell, sins, nor blind me, Get ye far behind me, Come not forth again; Past your hour, O pomp and power; Godless life,thy bonds I sever, Farewell now forever! 6 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, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless Treasure!

Jesus! the very thought of Thee

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #233 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 JESUS! the very thought of Thee With sweetness fills the breast; But sweeter far Thy face to see, And in Thy presence rest. 2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame, Nor can the memory find A sweeter sound than Thy blest name, O Saviour of mankind! 3 O Hope of every contrite heart, O Joy of all the meek! To those who fall, how kind Thou art, How good to those who seek! 4 But what to those who find? Ah! this Nor tongue nor pen can show: The love of Jesus, what it is, None but His loved ones know. 5 Jesus, our only Joy be Thou! As Thou our Prize wilt be; Jesus, be Thou our Glory now, And through eternity! Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #234 (1893) Lyrics: 1 JESUS, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; Unite my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there. Thine wholly, Thine alone I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2 O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell but Thy pure love alone; O may Thy love possess me whole, My Joy, my Treasure, and my Crown: Strange flames far from my heart remove; My every act, word, thought, be love! 3 O Love, how cheering is Thy ray! All pain before Thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er Thy healing beams arise: O Jesus, nothing may i see, Nothing desire or seek but Thee! 4 Unwearied, may I this pursue, Dauntless to the high prize aspire; Hourly within my soul renew This holy flame, this heavenly fire; And day and night be all my care To guard this sacred treasure there! 5 O draw me, Saviour, after Thee! So shall I run and never tire. With gracious words still comfort me; Be Thou my Hope, my sole Desire. Free me from every weight: nor fear Nor sin can come, if Thou art here. 6 From all eternity, with love Unchangeable Thou hast me viewed, Ere knew this beating heart to move, Thy tender mercies me pursued. Ever with me may they abide, And close me in on every side. 7 Still let Thy love point out my way; What wondrous things Thy love hath wrought Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my work, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 8 In suffering be Thy love my peace, In weakness be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that important hour, In death as life be Thou my Guide, And save me, who for me hast died!

My dear Jesus I'll not leave

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #235 (1893) Meter: 7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 MY dear Jesus I'll not leave, Who for me Himself has given; Therefore, unto Him I'll cleave, Nor from Him be ever driven, Life from Him doth light receive; My dear Jesus I'll not leave. 2 Jesus I will never leave, While on earth I am abiding; My full trust He shall receive; What I have, without dividing, All to Him I freely give; My dear Jesus I'll not leave. 3 Though my eyesight pass away, Hearing, taste and feeling fail me; Through the earth's last light of day Shall o'ertake and sore assail me; E'en when my last sigh I heave My dear Jesus I'll not leave. 4 Nor will I my Jesus leave When at length I shall come thither Where His saints He will receive, That in bliss they live together; Endless joy to me He'll give;-- My dear Jesus I'll not leave. 5 Not for earth's vain joys I crave, Not for heaven's glorious pleasure; Jesus who my soul did save Shall be my Desire and Treasure: He redemption did achieve;-- My dear Jesus I'll not leave. 6 Jesus I shall never leave, To His side still firmly clinging. Christ leads all who Him receive To life's waters ever springing. Blessed they who to Him cleave!-- My dear Jesus I'll not leave. Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

O for a thousand tongues to sing

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #236 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O FOR a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemer's praise! The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of His grace! 2 My gracious Master and my God, Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad The honors of Thy name. 3 Jesus, the name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis life, and health, and peace. 4 He breaks the power of canceled sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood avails for me. 5 Look unto Him, ye nations; own Your God, ye fallen race; Look, and be saved through faith alone, Be justified by grace. 6 See all your sins on Jesus laid; The Lamb of God was slain: His soul was once an offering made For every soul of man. 7 Glory to God, and praise, and love, Be ever, ever given By saints below and saints above, The Church in earth and heaven.

O Friend of souls, how blest am I

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #237 (1893) Lyrics: 1 O FRIEND of souls, how blest am I Whene'er Thy love my spirit calms! From sorrow's dungeon forth I fly, And hide me in Thy shelt'ring arms. The night of weeping flies away Before the heart-reviving ray Of love, that beams from out Thy breast; Here is my heaven on earth begun; Who were not joyful, that has won In Thee, O Lord, his joy and rest. 2 The world may call herself my foe, So be it; for I trust her not, E'en though a friendly face she show, And heap with her good things my lot. In Thee alone will I rejoice, Thou art the Friend, Lord, of my choice, For Thou art true when friendships fail; 'Mid storms of woe Thy truth is still My anchor; hate me as it will: The world shall o'er me ne'er prevail. 3 The Law may threaten endless death From awful Sinai's burning hill, Straightway from its consuming breath My soul through faith mounts higher still; She throws herself at Jesus' feet And finds with Him a safe retreat Where curse and death can never come. Though all things threaten condemnation, Yet Jesus, Thou art my Salvation, For in Thy love I find my home. 4 Through deserts of the cross Thou leadest, I follow leaning on Thy hand; From out the clouds Thy child Thou feedest, And giv'st him water from the sand. I know Thy wonderous ways will end In love and blessing, Thou true Friend, Enough, if Thou art ever near. I know whom thou wilt glorify, And raise o'er sun and stars on high, Thou lead'st through depths and darkness here. 5 To others death seems dark and grim, But not, Thou Life of life, to me, I know Thou ne'er forsakest him Whose heart and spirit rest in Thee. Oh! who would fear his journey's close, If from dark woods and lurking foes, He then find safety and release? Nay, rather, with a joyful heart From this dark region I depart To Thy eternal light and peace. 6 O Friend of souls, then blest indeed Am I when on Thy love I lean! The world, nor pain, nor death I heed, Since Thou, my God, my Joy hast been. O let this peace that Thou hast given, Be but a foretaste of Thy heaven, For goodness infinite is Thine. Hence, world with all Thy flattering toys! In God alone lie all my joys; O rich delight, my Friend is mine! Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

O Jesus! King most wonderful

King most wonderful, Thou Conqueror renowned: Thou Sweetness most ineffable, In whom all joys are found! 2 When once Thou visitest the heart, The truth begins to shine; Then earthly vanities depart Then kindles love divine. 3 O Jesus, Light of all below!

O Morning Star, how fair and bright

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #239 (1893) Meter: 8.8.7.8 Lyrics: 1 O MORNING STAR, how fair and bright Thou beamest forth in truth and light! O Sovereign meek and lowly! Sweet Root of Jesse, David's Son, My King and Bridegroom, Thou hast won My heart to love Thee solely! Lovely art Thou, fair and glorious, All victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o'er all possessing. 2 O King high-born, Pearl dearly won, True Son of God and Mary's Son, Crown of exceeding glory! My heart calls Thee a Lily, Lord, Pure milk and honey is Thy Word, Thy sweetest Gospel-story. Rose of Sharon, hail! hosanna! Heavenly Manna, Feed us ever; Lord; I can forget Thee never! 3 Clear Jasper, Ruby fervent red, Deep, deep into my heart now shed Thy love's pure fire forever; Fill me with joy, grant me to be Thy member closely joined to Thee, Whom naught from Thee may sever; Toward Thee longing doth possess me: Come and bless me, For Thy gladness Eye and heart here pine in sadness. 4 But if Thou look on me in love, There straightway falls from God above A ray of purest pleasure; Thy Word and Spirit, flesh and blood, Refresh myself with heavenly food, Thou art my hidden Treasure. Let Thy grace, Lord, warm and cheer me. O draw near me; Thou hast taught us Thee to seek, since Thou hast sought us. 5 Lord God, my Father, mighty Shield, Thou in Thy Son art all revealed As Thou hast loved and known me: Thy Son hath me with Him betrothed, In His own whitest raiment clothed, He for His bride will own me. Hallelujah! Life in heaven Hath He given, With Him dwelling, Still shall I His praise be telling. 6 Then touch the chords of harp and lute, Let no sweet music now be mute, But joyously resounding, Tell of the marriage-feast, the bride, The heavenly Bridegroom at her side, 'Mid love and joy abounding; Shout for triumph, loudly sing ye, Praises bring ye, Fall before Him, King of kings, let all adore Him! 7 Here rests my heart, and holds it fast; The Lord I love is First and Last, The End and the Beginning! I welcome death, for I shall rise Through Him to His own Paradise Above all tears and sinning, Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus, Soon release us! With deep yearning, Lord, we look for Thy returning!

One thing's needful! then Lord Jesus

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #240 (1893) Meter: 8.7.12.11 Lyrics: 1 ONE thing's needful! then Lord Jesus, Keep this one thing in my mind; All beside, though first it please us, Soon a grievous yoke we find; Beneath it the heart is still fretting and striving, No true, lasting happiness ever deriving. The gain of this one thing all loss can requite, And teach me in all things to find true delight. 2 Soul, wilt thou this one thing find thee? Seek not 'midst created things; What is earthly, leave behind thee, Over nature stretch thy wings. For where God and Man both in One are united, With God's perfect fulness the heart is delighted, There, there is the worthiest lot and the best, My One and my All, and my Joy and my Rest. 3 How were Mary's thoughts devoted Her eternal joy to find, As intent each word she noted, At her Saviour's feet reclined! How kindled her heart, how devout was its feeling, While hearing the lessons that Christ was revealing! For Jesus all earthly concerns she forgot, And all was repaid in that one happy lot. 4 Thus my longings, heavenward tending, Jesus, rest alone on Thee; Help me, thus on Thee depending, Saviour, come and dwell in me! Although all the world should forsake and forget Thee, In love I will follow Thee, ne'er will I quit Thee; Lord Jesus, both spirit and life is Thy Word; And is there a joy which Thou dost not afford? 5 Wisdom's highest, noblest treasure, Jesus, lies concealed in Thee; Grant that this may still the measure Of my will and actions be. Humility there, and simplicity, reigning, My steps shall in wisdom forever be training. Oh! if I of Christ have this knowledge divine, The fulness of heavenly wisdom is mine. 6 Christ, Thou art the sole oblation That I'll bring before my God; In His sight I've acceptation Only Through Thy streaming blood. Immaculate righteousness I have acquirèd, Since Thou on the tree of the cross hast expirèd; The robe of salvation for ever is mine, In this shall my faith through eternity shine. 7 Let my soul, in full exemption, Wake up in Thy likeness now; Thou art made to me redemption, My sanctification Thou. Whatever I need for my journey to heaven, In Thee, O my Saviour, is unto me given; O let me all perishing pleasure forego, And Thy life, O Jesus, alone let me know. 8 Where should else my hopes be centered? Grace o'erwhelms me with its flood; Thou, my Saviour, once hast entered Holiest heaven through Thy blood. Eternal redemption for sinners there finding, From hell's dark dominion my spirit unbinding, To me perfect freedom Thy entrance has brought, And childlike to cry "Abba, Father," I'm taught. 9 Christ Himself, my Shepherd, feeds me, Peace and joy my spirit fill; In a pasture green. He leads me Forth beside the waters still. Oh! naught to my soul is so sweet and reviving, As thus unto Jesus alone to be living; True happiness this, and this only, supplies, Through faith on my Saviour to fasten mine eyes. 10 Therefore, Jesus, my Salvation, Thou my One, my All, shalt be Prove my fixed determination, Root out all hypocrisy; Look well if on sin's slippery paths I am hasting, And lead me, O Lord, in the way everlasting! This one thing is needful, all others are vain; I count all but loss that I Christ may obtain. Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English
