We walk by faith, and not by sight
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 73 hymnals Lyrics: 1. We walk by faith, and not by sight;
no gracious words we hear from him
who spoke as none e'er spoke;
but we believe him near.
2. We may not touch his hands and side,
nor follow where he trod;
but in his promise we rejoice;
and cry, "My Lord and God!"
3. Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
and may our faith abound,
to call on you when you are near,
and seek where you are found:
4. that, when our life of faith is done,
in realms of clearer light
we may behold you as you are,
with full and endless sight.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,631 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away our fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole
and calms the troubled breast,
is manna to the hungry soul
and to the weary rest.
3 Dear name! the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding-place,
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace:
4 Jesus, my shepherd, brother, friend,
my prophet, priest and king,
my Lord, my life, my way, my end,
accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but when I see you as you are
I'll praise you as I ought.

When Christ was lifted from the earth
Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Christ was lifted from the earth,
his arms stretched out above
through every culture, every birth,
to draw an answering love.
2 Still east and west his love extends
and always, near or far,
he calls and claims us as his friends
and loves us as we are.
3 Where generation, class, or race
divide us to our shame,
he sees not labels but a face,
a person, and a name.
4 Thus freely loved, though fully known,
may I in Christ be free
to welcome and accept his own
as Christ accepted me. Topics: Christian Responsibility Used With Tune: ST. BOTOLPH

O Jesus, King most wonderful
Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 248 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, King most wonderful;
thou conqueror renowned,
thou sweetness most ineffable,
in whom all joys are found!
2 When once thou visitest the heart,
then truth begins to shine,
then earthly vanities depart,
then kindles love divine.
3 O Jesus, light of all below!
Thou fount of living fire,
surpassing all the joys we know,
and all we can desire:
4 Jesus, may all confess thy name,
thy wondrous love adore;
and, seeking thee, themselves inflame
to seek thee more and more.
5 Thee may our tongues for ever bless,
thee may we love alone,
and ever in our lives express
the image of thine own.
6 Abide with us, and let thy light
shine, Lord, on every heart;
dispel the darkness of our night,
and joy to all impart.
