Jesu, Lover of my soul

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Appears in 3,235 hymnals Topics: Lent Lyrics: 1 Jesu, 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 Saviour, 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 defenceless 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. Used With Tune: HOLLINGSIDE

Jesus, and shall it ever be

Author: Benjamin Francis, c. 1734 - 99; Joseph Grigg, c. 1720 - 68 Appears in 1,276 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Lent Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of thee? Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days? 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star; He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend! No; when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere his Name. 4 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may When I've no guilt to wash away; No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fear to quell, no soul to save. 5 Till then, nor is my boasting vain, Till then I boast a Saviour slain; And O may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me.

Jesus, Source of My Salvation

Author: Johann Christian Jacobi, 1670-1750; Ernst Christoph Homburg, 1605-1681 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Church Year The Season of Lent Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Source of my salvation, Conqueror both of death and hell, Thou Who didst, as my Oblation, Feel what I deserved to feel, Through Thy sufferings, death, and merit, I eternal life inherit; Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee, Dearest Lord, for ever be. 2 Lord, Thy deep humiliation Has atoned for all my pride; I need fear no condemnation, Since for sinners Thou hast died. Thou becam’st a curse, dear Savior, To restore me to God’s favor; Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee, Dearest Lord, for ever be. 3 Lord, I’ll praise Thee now and ever, Who for me wast crucified; For Thy agony, dear Savior, For Thy wounds and pierced side, For Thy love, so tried, unending, For Thy death, all deaths transcending. For Thy death and love divine, Lord, I’ll be for ever Thine. Used With Tune: ZURICH

Jesus, Lord of life and glory

Author: James J. Cummins Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics: Jesus, Lord of life and glory, Bend from heaven thy gracious ear; While our waiting souls adore thee, Friend of helpless sinners, hear: From the depths of nature's blindness, From the hardening power of sin, From all malice and unkindness, From the pride that lurks within, When temptation sorely presses, In the day of Satan's power, In our times of deep distresses, In each dark and trying hour, When the world around is smiling, In the time of wealth and ease Earthly joys our hearts beguiling, In the day of health and peace, In the weary hours of sickness, In the times of grief and pain, When we feel our mortal weakness, When all human help is vain, In the solemn hour of dying, In the awful judgment day, May our souls, on thee relying, Find thee still our hope and stay: By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. RAPHAEL
