Oh, that I Had a Thousand Voices
Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,242 hymnals First Line: Jesus. Lover of my soul Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide.
Oh, 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 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.
False and full of sin I am;
Thou art full of truth and grace.
4 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: Redeemer; Redeemer Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

From your sleep awaken!
Be not by the evil day
Unawares o'ertaken.
For the foe, Well we know,
Is a harvest reaping
While the saints are sleeping.
2 Watch! Let not the wicked world
With its lies defeat you
Lest with bold deceptions hurled
It betray and cheat you.
Watch and see Lest there be
Faithless friends to charm you
Who but seek to harm you.
3 Watch against yourself, my soul,
Lest with grace you trifle;
Let not self your thoughts control
Nor God's mercy stifle.
Pride and sin Lurk within,
All your hopes to shatter;
Heed not when they flatter.
4 But while watching also pray
To the Lord unceasing.
God protects you day by day,
Strength and faith increasing,
So that still Mind and will
Shall unite to serve him
And forever love him. Topics: Commitment; Commitment Used With Tune: STRAF MICH NICHT

Author: Sigmund von Birken, 1626-81; J. Adam Rimbach, 1871-1941 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7.8.7.7 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us ever walk with Jesus,
Follow his example pure,
Flee the world which would deceive us
And to sin our souls allure.
Ever in his footsteps treading,
Body here, yet soul above,
Full of faith and hope and love,
Let us do the Father's bidding.
Faithful Lord, abide with me.
Savior, lead; I follow thee.
2 Let us suffer here with Jesus,
To his image e'er conform;
Heaven's glory soon will please us,
Sunshine follow on the storm.
Though we sow in tears of sorrow,
We shall reap in heav'nly joy,
And the fears that now annoy
Shall be laughter on the morrow.
Christ, I suffer here with thee;
There, oh, share thy joy with me.
3 Let us also die with Jesus.
His death from the second death,
From our soul's destruction, frees us,
Quickens us with life's glad breath.
Let us mortify, while living,
Flesh and blood and die to sin,
And the grave that shuts us in
Shall but prove the gate to heaven.
Jesus, here I die to thee,
There to live eternally.
4 Let us gladly live with Jesus;
Since he's risen from the dead,
Death and grave must soon release us.
Jesus, thou art now our head.
We are truly thine own members;
Where thou livest, there live we.
Take and own us constantly,
Faithful Friend, as thy dear brethren.
Jesus, here I live to thee,
Also there eternally. Topics: Commitment; Commitment Used With Tune: LASSET UNS MIT JESU ZIEHEN
