Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,917 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the Water and the Blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2 Not the labors of my hands Can fulfill Thy Law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy Cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress, Helpless, look to Thee for grace. Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Saviour, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment-throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee! Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Faith Used With Tune: REDHEAD, No. 76

Jesus! exalted far on high

Author: Thomas Cotterill Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus! exalted far on high, To Whom a Name is given-- A Name surpassing every name, That's known in earth or heaven! 2 Before whose throne shall every knee Bow down with one accord; Before Whose throne shall every tongue Confess that Thou art Lord; 3 Jesus, Who in the form of God, Didst equal honor claim, Yet, to redeem our guilty souls, Didst stoop to death and shame! 4 O may that mind in us be formed Which shone so bright in Thee, An humble, meek, and lowly mind, From pride and envy free!. 5 May we to others stoop, and learn To emulate Thy love; So shall we bear Thine image here, And share Thy throne above. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Palm Sunday Used With Tune: BEATITUDO

Weary of earth, and laden with my sin

Author: Samuel John Stone Appears in 219 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look to heaven, and long to enter in; But there no evil thing may find a home, And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come." 2 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear; His are the hands stretched out to draw me near, And His the Blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the throne. 3 ’Twas He Who found me on the deathly wild, And made me heir of heaven, the Father’s child, And day by day, whereby my soul may live, Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give. 4 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer, That in Thy Father’s courts my glorious dress May be the garment of Thy righteousness. 5 Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord: Thine all the merits, mine the great reward; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown, Mine the life won, through Thine, the life laid down. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Repentance Used With Tune: LANGRAN

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 912 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; Star of the east, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining, Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch, and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom and offerings divine; Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Used With Tune: MORNING STAR

Hosanna! loud hosanna!

Author: Jeanette Threlfall Appears in 160 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hosanna! loud hosanna! The little children sang; Through pillar'd court and temple The lovely anthem rang; To Jesus who had blessed them, Close folded to His breast, The children sang their praises, The simplest and the best. 2 From Olivet they followed, 'Mid an exultant crowd, Waving the victor palm-branch, And shouting clear and loud; Bright angels joined the chorus Beyond the cloudless sky: "Hosanna in the highest: Glory to God on high!" 3 Fair leaves of silvery olive They strewed upon the ground, Whilst Salem's circling mountains Echoed the joyful sound; The Lord of men and angels Rode on in lowly state Nor scorned that little children Should on His bidding wait. 4 "Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song we sing; For Christ is our Redeemer, The Lord of heav'n our King. Oh! may we ever praise Him With heart, and life, and voice, And in His blissful presence Eternally rejoice! Amen.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,300 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, City of our God; He, Whose word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake your sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove, Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst assuage, Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age? 3 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a covering, Showing that the Lord is near; Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which He gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy Name. Fading are the worldling's pleasures, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ASAPH
