Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go

Appears in 336 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go; Thy word into our minds instil: And make our lukewarm hearts to glow With lowly love and fervent will. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 2 The day has gone, its hours have run, And Thou hast taken count of all, The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, the frequent fall. Through lifs's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 4 Labour is sweet, for Thou hast toil'd; And care is light, for Thou hast cared; Ah! never! let our works be soil'd With strife, or by deceit ensnarled. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 5 For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto Thee we call; O let Thy mercy make us glad; Thou art our Jesus, and our all. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 6 Sweet Saviour, bless us; night is come; Through night and darkness near us be, Good angels watch about our home, And we are one day nearer Thee. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. Amen. Topics: Evening; Festivals Used With Tune: STELLA

Thou Hidden Source of Calm Repose

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 166 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden source of calm repose, Thou all-sufficient love divine, my help and refuge from my foes, secure I am, if Thou art mine; from sin and grief and shame I hide me, Jesus, in Thy name. 2 Thy mighty name salvation is, and keeps my happy soul above; comfort it brings, and pow'r and peace, and joy and everlasting love; to me, with Thy dear name, are giv'n pardon and holiness and heav'n. 3 Jesus, my all in all Thou art; my rest in toil, my ease in pain, the healing of my broken heart, in war my peace, in loss my gain, my smile beneath the tyrant's frown, in shame my glory and my crown. 4 In want my plentiful supply, in weakness my almighty pow'r, in bonds my perfect liberty, my light in Satan's darkest hour, my help and stay whene'er call, my life in death, my heav'n, my all.

O Love divine, what hast thou done!

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 150 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Love divine, what hast thou done! The incarnate God hath died for me! The Father's well-beloved Son Bore all my sins upon the tree! The Son of God for me hath died, My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 2 Behold him, all ye passers by The bleeding Prince of life and peace! Come, sinners, see your Saviour die, And say, was ever grief like his? Come, feel with me his blood applied, My Lord, my Love, is crucified: 3 Is crucified for me and you, To bring us rebels back to God; Believe, believe the record true, Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood; Pardon for all flows from his side, My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 4 Then let us sit beneath his cross, And gladly catch the healing stream; All things for him account but loss, And give up all our hearts to him! Of nothing think or speak beside, My Lord, my Love, is crucified. Topics: Christ Sufferings and Death Used With Tune: STELLA

Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 347 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; O knit my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there! Thine wholly, Thine alone, I'd live, Myself to Thee entirely give. 2 O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but Thy pure love alone; O may Thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown! All coldness from my heart remove; May every act, word, thought, be love. 3 O Love, how gracious is Thy way! All fear before Thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er Thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee. Amen.

Would Jesus have the sinner die?

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Would Jesus have the sinner die? Why hangs he then on yonder tree? What means that strange expiring cry? Sinners, he prays for you and me: "Forgive them, Father, O forgive! They know not that by me they live." 2 Jesus, descended from above, Our loss of Eden to retrieve; Great God of universal love, If all the world through thee may live, In us a quickening spirit be, And witness thou hast died for me. 3 O, let thy love my heart constrain, Thy love, for every sinner free, That every fallen son of man May taste the grace that rescued me, That all mankind his love may prove That sovereign, everlasting love.
