I'm but a stranger here

Author: Thomas R. Taylor Appears in 627 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I'm but a stranger here, Heaven is my home; Earth is a desert drear, Heaven is my home; Danger and sorrow stand Round me on every hand, Heaven is my Fatherland, Heaven is my home. 2 What though the tempest rage, Heaven is my home; Short is my pilgrimage, Heaven is my home. Time's cold and wintry blast Soon will be overpast; I shall reach home at last, Heaven is my home. 3 There at my Saviour's side, Heaven is my home; I shall be glorified, Heaven is my home. There'll be the good and blest, Those I love most and best, There, too, I soon shall rest; Heaven is my home. Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Used With Tune: OAK

We would the sacred scene renew Of thy humility. 4 Thy blessed promise we would claim, As now we humbly ask That thy sweet grace may in us frame True meekness for our task.

Wonder of the countless spheres!

Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wonder of the countless spheres! See the Son of God in tears! He by whom the worlds were made, He on whom our sins were laid. 2 See him bear the cross of shame; Hear the world revile his name: Lo! he dies that we may live, All who on his name believe. 3 In the tomb behold him laid Whom the universe obeyed; See him rise, ascend to God, There to plead his precious blood. 4 Now he stands before the throne, Pleading for his loved, his own: "Father, I my life-blood gave These to ransom, these to save." 5 "If I go I'll come again," Preach this gospel to all men; Now redemption's work goes on, Then redemption's work is done.

Jesus, lover of my soul

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 3,239 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly, While the billows near me 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, O 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 defenseless head With the shadow of thy wing. 3 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; Vile and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found Grace to pardon 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.

Ye mortal powers, decay! Haste! till the last glad morning rise That brings eternal day. Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Used With Tune: ZERAH
