I need Thee, precious Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield Appears in 305 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am full of sin; My soul is dark and guilty, My heart is dead within; I need the cleansing fountain Where I can always flee, The Blood of Christ most precious, The sinner's perfect plea. 2 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am very poor; A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store. I need the love of Jesus To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay. 3 I need Thee, precious Jesus, I need a Friend like Thee, A Friend to soothe and pity, A Friend to care for me. I need the heart of Jesus To feel each anxious care, To tell my every trouble And all my sorrows share. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Life That Knows No Ending

Author: G. Tabor Thompson Appears in 247 hymnals First Line: Brief life is her our portion Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion; Brief sorrow, short-lived care; That life that knows no ending— The tearless life, is there. O happy retribution; Short toil, eternal rest; For ev’ry son of Adam A mansion with the blest. 2 And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown. But they who now instruct us Shall then be seen and known; And they who know and see them Shall have them for their own. 3 The morning shall awaken, The shadows shall decay; And each true hearted servant Shall shine as doth the day. There father, mother, children, Shall see each other’s face; And we behold forever A happy human race. Used With Tune: [Brief life is her our portion]

Before the Cross of Jesus

Author: Ferdinand Q. Blanchard, 1876-1968 Meter: 7.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before the cross of Jesus Our lives are judged today; The meaning of our eager strife Is tested by His Way. Across our restless living The light streams from His cross, And by its clear, revealing beams We measure gain and loss. 2 The hopes that lead us onward, The fears that hold us back, Our will to dare great things for God, The courage that we lack, The faith we keep in goodness, Our love, as low or pure - On all, the judgment of the cross Falls steady, clear, and sure. 3 Yet humbly, in our striving, O God, we face its test. We crave the pow'r to do Thy will With Him who did it best. On us let now the healing Of His great Spirit fall, And make us brave and full of joy To answer to His call.

Desire of Every Nation

Author: Anna B. Hoppe Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Desire of every nation, Light of the Gentiles, Thou! In fervent adoration Before Thy throne we bow; Our hearts and tongues adore Thee, Blest Dayspring from the skies. Like incense sweet before Thee, Permit our songs to rise. 2. Thou Herald of the morning, They who in darkness dwell Behold Thy brightness dawning O’er realms of Israel. With glorious beams unclouded, Thy all-transcendent light Dispels the gloom that shrouded Earth’s dark and dismal night. 3. Arise and shine in splendor, Thou bright and morning Star! The Gentiles come to render Their gifts from realms afar. The word by prophets spoken In truth is now fulfilled. And yearning hearts, once broken, With sweetest hope are filled. 4. Arise and bring salvation To all who dwell below, Let earth in jubilation Reflect Thy radiant glow. O long expected Savior, Thou Hope of Israel, Let Gentiles gain Thy favor, And of Thy glory tell. 5. Our Life and Resurrection, Lord Jesus Christ, Thou art; O shed Thy light’s reflection To earth’s remotest part; Let Gentile tongues confess Thee, Rejoicing in Thy light, The ransomed thousands bless Thee, Thou hast dispelled the night.
