"Let me go over!"

Author: Samuel Stennett Appears in 1,361 hymnals First Line: On Jordan's rugged banks I stand Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's rugged banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields arrayed in living green, And rivers of delight! 2 O'er all those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God, the Son, for ever reigns, And scatters night away. No chilling winds, or poisonous breath, Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more. 3 When shall I reach that happy place, And be for ever blest? When shall I see my Father's face, And in his bosom rest? Filled with delight, my raptured soul Can here no longer stay; Though Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.

"Hold fast"

Author: Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander Appears in 139 hymnals First Line: The roseate hues of early dawn Lyrics: 1 The roseate hues of early dawn, The brightness of the day, The crimson of the sunset sky, How fast they fade away! Oh, for the pearly gates of heaven! Oh, for the golden floor! Oh, for the Sun of Righteousness, That setteth nevermore! 2 The highest hopes we cherish here, How soon they tire and faint! How many a spot defiles the robe That wraps an earthly saint! Oh, for a heart that never sins! Oh, for a soul washed white! Oh, for a voice to praise our King, Nor weary day or night! 3 Here faith is ours, and heavenly hope, And grace to lead us higher; But there are perfectness and peace. Beyond our best desire. Oh, by thy love and anguish, Lord, And by thy life laid down, Grant that we fall not from thy grace, Nor fail to reach our crown!

I heard the voice of Jesus say

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,235 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Come unto me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon my breast." I came to Jesus as I was, Weary, and worn, and sad; I found in Him a resting-place, And He has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give The living water: thirsty one, Stoop down and drink, and live." I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light; Look unto me: thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I'll walk Till traveling days are done.

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned

Author: S. Stennett Appears in 907 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Savior's brow; His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o'erflow. No mortal can with Him compare, Among the sons of men; Fairer is He than all the fair That fill the heavenly train. 2 He saw me plunged in deep distress, He flew to my relief; For me He bore the shameful cross, And carried all my grief. To Him I owe my life and breath, And all the joys I have; He makes me triumph over death, And saves me from the grave. 3 To heaven, the place of His abode, He brings my weary feet; Shows me the glories of my God, And makes my joy complete. Since from His bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be Thine.

Lord, I believe; Thy power I own

Lord, I believe; but gloomy fears Sometimes bedim my sight; I look to Thee with prayers and tears, And cry for strength and light. 2 Lord, I believe; but Thou dost know My faith is cold and weak; Pity my frailty and bestow The confidence I seek. Yes, I believe; and only Thou Canst give my soul relief: Lord, to Thy truth my spirit bow; "Help Thou mine unbelief!"
