Lamb of God, we fall before Thee

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #81 (1918) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee, Humbly trusting in Thy cross; That alone be all our glory, All things else are only dross. 2 Thee we own a perfect Savior, Only Source of all that's good. Every grace and every favor Come to us through Jesus' blood. 3 Jesus gives us true repentance, By His Spirit sent from heaven; Whispers this assuring sentence, "Son, thy sins are all forgiven." 4 Faith He grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts His love to prize; Want we wisdom?--He must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 5 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what He requires, Makes us follow His directions, And what He commands, inspires. 6 All our prayers, and all our praises, Rightly offered in His name,-- He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.

Jesus, priceless Treasure

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #82 (1918) Meter: 6.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless Treasure, Source of purest pleasure, Truest Friend to me! Long my heart hath panted, 'Till it 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 arms 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 move 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 fears 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!

One thing's needful! then, Lord Jesus

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #83 (1918) Meter: 8.7 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 Savior'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, Savior, 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 acquired, Since Thou on the tree of the cross hast expired; 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 Savior, 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 Savior, 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 Savior 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 slipp'ry 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 lost that I Christ may obtain. Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #84 (1918) 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, Savior, 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!

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #85 (1918) Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd’s care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye, My noonday walks He shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My every wandering steps He leads, Where peaceful rivers soft and slow Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious lonely wilds I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains beguile; The barren wilderness shall smile, With sudden greens and herbage crowned, And streams shall murmur all around. 4 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus only

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #86 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus only Can my heart-felt longing still; Without Him my soul is lonely, And I wish what Jesus will. For my heart, which He hath filled, Ever cries: Lord, as Thou wilt. 2 One it is for whom I'm living, Whom I'm loving faithfully; Jesus, unto whom I'm giving What in love He gave to me. Jesus' blood hides all my guilt; Lord, O lead me as Thou wilt. 3 Seems a thing to me a treasure, Which displeasing is to Thee, Then remove such dangerous pleasure; Give instead what profits me. Let my heart by Thee be stilled, Make me Thine, Lord, as Thou wilt. 4 Grant that always I endeavor Thy good pleasure to fulfill, In me, through me, with me ever, Lord, accomplish Thou Thy will. Let me die, Lord, on Thee built, When, and where, and as Thou wilt. 5 Lord, my praise shall be unceasing, For Thou gav'st thyself to me, And besides so many a blessing, That I sing now joyfully: Be it unto me, my Shield, As Thou wilt, Lord, as Thou wilt.

I leave Thee not; Thou art my Jesus ever

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #87 (1918) Meter: 11.4 Lyrics: 1 I leave Thee not; Thou art my Jesus ever, Though earth rebel, And death and hell Would, from its steadfast hold, my faith dissever. Ah, no! I ever will Cling to my Helper still. Hear what my love is taught: Thou art my Jesus ever, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 2 I leave Thee not, O Love! of love the highest, Though doubt display Its battle-day; I own the power which Thou, my Lord appliest. Thou didst bear guilt and woe; Shall I to torment go, When into judgment brought? O Love! of love the highest, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 3 I leave Thee not, O Thou who sweetly cheerest! Whose fresh supplies Cause strength to rise, Just in the hour when faith's decay is nearest. If sickness chill the soul, And nights of languor roll, My heart one hope hath caught; O Thou who sweetly cheerest, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 4 I leave Thee not, Thou Help in tribulation! Heap ill on ill. I trust Thee still, I hope when all seems near to desolation, Do what Thou wilt with me, I yet will cling to Thee; Thy grace I have besought; Thou Help in tribulation, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 5 I leave Thee not: shall I forsake salvation? No, Jesus, no! Thou shalt not go; Mine still Thou art, to free from condemnation. After this fleeting night, Thy presence brings me light, Whose ray my soul hath sought; Shall I forsake salvation? I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 6 I leave Thee not; Thy Word my way shall brighten: With Thee I go Through weal and woe, Thy precept wise shall every burden lighten. My Lord, on Thee I hang, Nor heed the journey's pang, Though thorny be my lot; Let but Thy Word enlighten, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 7 I leave Thee not, e'en in the lap of pleasure; For when I stray Without Thy ray, My richest joy must cease to be a treasure. I shudder at the glee, When no delight from Thee Has heartfelt peace begot; E'en in the lap of pleasure, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 8 I leave Thee not! I fear no condemnation, For how could share Thy child and heir The lot of those who spurn their soul's salvation? Thy blood, Lord, cleanseth me, And therefore I am free From hell, the sinner's lot. I fear no condemnation; I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 9 I leave Thee not, my God, my Lord, my Heaven! Nor death shall rend From Thee, my Friend, Who for my sake Thyself to death hast given. Thou diedst for love to me, And love goes back to Thee; My heart has but one thought: My God, my Lord, my Heaven, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

My dear Jesus I'll not leave

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
