Mary to the Savior's Tomb

Author: Simeon Butler Marsh, 1798-1875; John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 266 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Mary to the Savior’s tomb Hasted at the early dawn; Spice she brought, and rich perfume, But the Lord she loved had gone; For a while she lingering stood, Filled with sorrow and surprise, Trembling, while a crystal flood Issued from her weeping eye. 2. But her sorrow quickly fled When she heard His welcome voice; Christ had risen from the dead— Now He bids her heart rejoice. What a change His word can make, Turning darkness into day! Ye who weep for Jesus’ sake, He will wipe your tears away. 3. He who came to comfort her, When she thought her all was lost, Will for your relief appear, Tho’ you now are tempest-tossed. On His arm your burden cast; On His love your thoughts employ; Weeping for a while may last, But the morning brings the joy. Used With Tune: MARTYN

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 3,295 hymnals 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. O 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.

At Thy Cross

Author: Russel H. Conwell Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Jesus, Master, rescue me Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Master, rescue me, Weak and helpless, this my plea; Thou hast triumphed o’er the grave, Thou hast died my soul to save. Though my sins are crimson red, Thou for me Thy blood hast shed; Trembling at Thy cross I bow, Jesus, Master, cleanse me now. 2 Jesus, Master, hear my cry, Pass me not unheeded by; On these sightless eyes of mine, Let Thy beams of mercy shine. Lord I know Thou canst forgive, Bid, O bid me look and live; Trusting, at Thy cross I bow, Jesus, Master, heal me now. 3 Jesus, Master, praise to Thee, For Thy wondrous love to me; From the mountain wild and steep Thou hast brought Thy wandering sheep. Thou hast washed my sins away, Turned my darkness into day; Joyful at Thy cross I bow, Thou dost save and save me now. Used With Tune: MARTYN Text Sources: Songs Tried and Proved, by Russell E.
