Away, my unbelieving fear!

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Away, my unbelieving fear! Fear shall in me no more have place: My Saviour doth not yet appear, He hides the brightness of his face; But shall I therefore let him go, And basely to the tempter yield? No, in the strength of Jesus, no; I never will give up my shield. 2 Although the vine its fruit deny, Although the olive yield no oil, The withering fig-trees droop and die, The fields elude the tiller's toil, The empty stall no herd afford, And perish all the bleating race; Yet I will triumph in the Lord, The God of my salvation praise. 3 Barren although my soul remain, And not one bud of grace appear, No fruit of all my toil and pain, But sin and only sin is here; Although my gifts and comforts lost, My blooming hopes cut off I see, Yet will I in my Saviour trust, And glory that he died for me.

Behold the Saviour at the door!

Author: Anon. Appears in 626 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the Saviour at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long, is waiting still, You treat no other friend so ill. 2 He counsels thee to buy of him Gold tried by fire, and raiment clean; Anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see, And put away thy stains from thee. 3 O, hear the faithful Witness' voice, He offers now a final choice; Thou art offensive, O lukewarm! Therefore be zealous and reform. 4 His mission now is almost o'er, Before the throne he'll plead no more; The filthy must his filth retain, He that is holy, so remain. 5 His locks with dews of night are wet, But at thy heart he lingereth yet. O wake, and open wide the door; Bid thy Beloved wait no more. 5 Yea, bring him in, a welcome guest; So shalt thou in his presence rest, And in communion sweet and free, Shalt sup with him and he with thee.

Behold, where, in a mortal form

Author: William Enfield Appears in 210 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold, where, in a mortal form, Appears each grace divine! The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine. 2 To spread the rays of heavenly light, To give the mourner joy, To preach glad tidings to the poor, Was his divine employ. 3 'Mid keen reproach and cruel scorn, He meek and patient stood; His foes, ungrateful, sought his life, Who labored for their good. 4 Be Christ our pattern and our guide, His image may we bear; O, may we tread his holy steps Till we his glory share!

Beyond the starry skies

Author: Daniel Turner Appears in 100 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beyond the starry skies, Far as the eternal hills, There in the boundless world of light Our great Redeemer dwells. Around him angels fair In countless armies shine; And ever, in exalted lays, They offer songs divine. 2 "Hail, Prince of life!" they cry, "Whose unexampled love Moved thee to quit these glorious realms And royalties above." And when he stooped to earth, And suffered rude disdain, They cast their honors at his feet, And waited in his train. 3 They saw him on the cross, While darkness vailed the skies; And when he burst the gates of death, They saw the Conqueror rise. They thronged his chariot wheels, And bore him to his throne; Then swept their golden harps and sung, "That glorious work is done." Topics: Worship Adoration of Christ Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
