Jesus, Lord, we look to thee

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 197 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lord, we look to thee; Let us in thy name agree; Show thyself the Prince of peace; Bid all strife forever cease. 2 By thy reconciling love Every stumbling-block remove; Each to each unite, endear; Come, and spread thy banner here. 3 Make us of one heart and mind, Courteous, pitiful, and kind, Lowly, meek in thought and word Altogether like our Lord. 4 Let us for each other care, Each the other's burden bear; To thy Church the pattern give, Show how true believers live. 5 Free from anger and from pride, Let us thus in God abide; May our daily life express Constant love and holiness. 6 Let us then with joy remove To the family above; On the wings of angels fly To our mansions in the sky.

Jesus, merciful and mild

Author: Thomas Hastings Appears in 88 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, merciful and mild, Lead me as a helpless child: On no other arm but thine Would my weary soul recline; Thou art ready to forgive, Thou canst bid the sinner live, Guide the wanderer, day by day, In the strait and narrow way. 2 Thou canst fit me by thy grace For the heavenly dwelling-place; All thy promises are sure, Ever shall thy love endure; Then what more could I desire, How to greater bliss aspire? All I need, in thee I see; Thou art all in all to me. 3 Jesus, Saviour all divine, Hast thou made me truly thine? Hast thou bought me by thy blood? Reconciled my heart to God? Hearken to my tender prayer, Let me thine own image bear; Let me love thee more and more, Till I reach heaven's blissful shore. Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Used With Tune: MARTYN

Jesus, my strength, my hope

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 386 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my strength, my hope, On thee I cast my care, With humble confidence look up, And know thou hear'st my prayer. 2 I want a sober mind, A self-renouncing will, That tramples down and casts behind The baits of pleasing ill; 3 A soul inured to pain, To hardship, grief, and loss; Bold to take up, firm to sustain The consecrated cross. 4 I want a godly fear, A quick, discerning eye, That looks to thee when sin is near, And sees the tempter fly; 5 A spirit still prepared, And armed with jealous care, Forever standing on its guard, And watching unto prayer.

Jesus, the very thought of thee

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux Appears in 1,031 hymnals 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 No voice can sing, no heart can frame, Nor can the memory find A sweeter sound than Jesus' name, The 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; In thee be all our glory now, And through eternity.

Jesus, who knows full well

Author: John Newton Appears in 212 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, who knows full well The heart of every saint, Invites us all our grief to tell; To pray, and never faint. 2 He bows his gracious ear, We never plead in vain; Then let us wait till he appear, And pray, and pray again. 3 Jesus, the Lord, will hear His chosen when they cry; Yes, though he may a while forbear, He'll help them from on high. 4 Then let us earnest cry, And never faint in prayer; He sees, he hears, and from on high, Will make our cause his care.

Joyfully, joyfully, onward I move

Author: William Hunter Appears in 323 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Joyfully, joyfully, onward I move, Bound for the land of bright glory above; Angelic choristers sing as I come, "Joyfully, joyfully, haste to thy home." Soon shall I pass from this dark vale of woe, Home to the land of the righteous I'll go; Pilgrim and stranger, no more shall I roam, Joyfully, joyfully, resting at home. 2 Friends fondly cherished now sleep in the ground, But they'll awake when the last trump shall sound, Loosed from Death's fetters, and upward we'll soar, Joyfully meeting to part nevermore. Sounds of sweet melody fall on the ear; Harps of the blessed, your voices I'll hear Filling with harmony heaven's high dome, "Joyfully, joyfully, haste to thy home." 3 Death with his weapons of war has laid low Many a pilgrim who feared not the blow; Jesus has broken the bars of the tomb; Joyfully, joyfully, will they come home. Bright will the morn of eternity dawn, Death shall be banished, his scepter be gone; Joyfully, then, shall I witness his doom, Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home.

Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom

Author: John H. Newman Appears in 1,234 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead thou me on! The night is dark and I am far from home; Lead thou me on! Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step's enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path, but now Lead thou me on! I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years! 3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone, And with the morn those angel faces smile While I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
