Lead me higher up the mountain

Author: William James Pearson (1832-92) Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: Jesus, lead me up the mountain Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lead me up the mountain, Where the whitest robes are seen, Where the saints can see the fountain, Where we may be pure and clean. Refrain: Lead me higher up the mountain, Give me fellowship with thee; In thy light I see the fountain, And the blood now cleanses me. 2 Higher up where light increases, Far beyond earth’s fading dross, Where the life of sinning ceases, May I choose to gain through loss. 3 Jesus, Light of God, now show me Love that shall redeem, refine All who walk with thee and know thee; To thy truth my heart incline.

To redeem and make you holy

Author: Walter Henry Windybank (1872-1952) Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Just outside the land of promise Lyrics: 1 Just outside the land of promise You have waited many years, And your life has been o’erclouded With a host of haunting fears. There is victory in Jesus, Come to him without delay; Seek just now a full salvation And the voice of God obey. Refrain: To redeem and make you holy Jesus left his throne above; Now believe and take the blessing, Nothing less than perfect love. 2 You have long been hesitating, Hindered by your unbelief, And your wilful disobedience Oft has caused you bitter grief. Stay no longer on the threshold, Now believe and enter in; Claim through Christ complete deliverance From the slavery of sin. 3 Though you know your sins forgiven, Greater things await you still; Freedom here from sin’s dominion, Power to do the Master’s will. Fear no longer, he is with you, Let no foe your steps arrest; Seek today the Father’s blessing, Enter now the land of rest. Topics: The life of holiness Challenge

Lord, through the blood of the Lamb that was slain

Author: Herbert Howard Booth (1862-1926) Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, through the blood of the Lamb that was slain, Cleansing for me; From all the guilt of my sins now I claim Cleansing from thee. Sinful and black though the past may have been, Many the crushing defeats I have seen, Yet on thy promise, O Lord, now I lean, Cleansing for me. 2 From all the sins over which I have wept, Cleansing for me; Far, far away by the blood-current swept, Cleansing for me. Jesus, thy promise I dare to believe, And as I come thou wilt surely receive, That over sin I may never more grieve, Cleansing for me. 3 From all the doubts that have filled me with gloom, Cleansing for me; From all the fears that would point me to doom, Cleansing for me. Jesus, although I may not understand, In childlike faith now I stretch forth my hand, And through thy word and thy grace I shall stand, Cleansed by thee. 4 From all the care of what men think or say, Cleansing for me; From ever fearing to speak, sing or pray, Cleansing for me. Lord, in thy love and thy power make me strong That all may know that to thee I belong; When I am tempted, let this be my song, Cleansing for me. Topics: The life of holiness Challenge

Love divine, all loves excelling

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 1,865 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of Heaven, to earth come down, Fix in us thy humble dwelling, All thy faithful mercies crown.

Thee we would be always blessing, Serve thee as thy hosts above; Pray and praise thee without ceasing, Glory in thy perfect love. 3 Finish then thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see thy great salvation, Perfectly restored in thee. Changed from glory into glory, Till in Heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before thee, Lost in wonder, love and praise. Topics: The life of holiness Challenge

Saviour, thy dying love

Author: Sylvanus Dryden Phelps (1816-95) Appears in 559 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, thy dying love Thou gavest me, Nor should I aught withhold, My Lord, from thee. In love my soul would bow, My heart fulfil its vow, Some offering bring thee now, Something for thee. 2 At the blest mercy seat, Pleading for me, My feeble faith looks up, Jesus, to thee. Help me the cross to bear, Thy wondrous love declare, Some song to raise, or prayer, Something for thee. 3 Give me a faithful heart, Likeness to thee, That each departing day Henceforth may see Some work of love begun, Some deed of kindness done, Some wanderer sought and won, Something for thee. 4 All that I am and have, Thy gifts so free, In joy, in grief, through life, I yield to thee. And when thy face I see, My ransomed soul shall be Through all eternity All, all for thee. Topics: The life of holiness Consecration and service

O the peace my Saviour gives

Author: F. A. Blackmer Appears in 51 hymnals First Line: Once I thought I walked with Jesus Lyrics: 1 Once I thought I walked with Jesus, Yet such changeful feelings had, Sometimes trusting, sometimes doubting, Sometimes joyful, sometimes sad. Refrain: O the peace my Saviour gives, Peace I never knew before! And my way has brighter grown Since I learned to trust him more. 2 But he called me closer to him, Bade my doubts and fears all cease, And, when I had fully yielded, Filled my soul with perfect peace. 3 Now I’m trusting every moment, Nothing less can be enough; And my Saviour bears me gently O’er the places once so rough.
