Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Author: Samuel Stennett, 1727 - 95 Appears in 937 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Saviour's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
2 No mortal can with him compare,
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is he than all the fair
That fill the heavenly train,
That fill the heavenly train.
3 To heaven, the place of his abode,
He brings my weary feet,
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joys complete,
And makes my joys complete.
4 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, they should all be thine.
Amen. Used With Tune: ORTONVILLE

When sorrows, like sea billows, roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate
And hath shed his own blood for my soul.
3 He lives - oh, the bliss of this glorious thought;
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to his cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
The trumpet shall sound, and the Lord shall descend;
Even so it is well with my soul. Used With Tune: IT IS WELL

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

“Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast.”
2 I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary, worn, and sad,
And there I found a resting place,
where Jesus made me glad!
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
draw near, and drink, and live.”
4 I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I am redeemed.
5 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this lost world’s Light,
Look unto me; your morn shall rise,
and all your day be bright.”
6 I looked to Jesus, and I found
my guiding Star, my Sun;
And in that light of life I’ll go
till traveling days are done. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Used With Tune: EVAN

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793 - 1847 Appears in 1,749 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Abide with me, fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide;
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need thy presence every passing hour;
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. A-men.
4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me!
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes,
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
Amen, Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
Jesus, priceless Treasure
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Johann Franck, 1618 - 77 Appears in 138 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless Treasure,
Source of purest pleasure,
Truest friend to me;
Long my heart hath panted,
Till it well-nigh fainted,
Thirsting after thee.
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will suffer nought to hide thee,
Ask for nought beside thee.
2 In thine arm I rest me;
Foes who would molest me
Cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
Every heart be quaking,
God dispels our fear;
Sin and hell in conflict fell
With their heaviest storms assail us:
Jesus will not fail us.
3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness!
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in;
Those who love the Father,
Though the storms may gather,
Still have peace within;
Yea, whate'er we here must bear,
Still is thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless Treasure!

One there is above all others
Author: John Newton, 1725 - 1807 Appears in 691 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love beyond a brother’s,
Costly, free, and knows no end;
They who once his kindness prove
Find it everlasting love.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed their blood?
But this Saviour died to have us
Reconciled in him to God;
This was boundless love indeed;
Jesus is a friend in need.
3 When he lived on earth abasèd,
'Friend of sinners' was his Name;
Now, above all glory raisèd,
He rejoices in the same;
Still He calls them brethren, friends,
And to all their wants attends.
4 O for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love.
We, alas, forget too often
What a friend we have above;
But when home our souls are brought
We will love thee as we ought.
Used With Tune: DANA
One there is above all others
O Love that wilt not let me go
Author: George Matheson, 1842 - 1906 Appears in 716 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be. Used With Tune: ST. MARGARET
