Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,026 hymnals Scripture: 1 Samuel 2:8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of thee
with sweetness fills my breast.
But sweeter far thy face to see,
and in thy presence rest.
2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
nor can the mind recall
a sweeter sound than thy blest name,
O Savior of us all.
3 O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
to those who fall, how kind thou art!
How good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
nor tongue nor pen can show.
The love of Jesus, what it is
none but his loved ones know.
5 Jesus, our only joy be thou,
as thou our prize wilt be.
Jesus, be thou our glory now,
and through eternity. Topics: Adoration; Healing; Hope; Joy; Living in Christ; Love of God for Us; Personal Peace; Praise Used With Tune: ST. AGNES Text Sources: Latin hymn, 12th cent.

Before Jehovah's aweful throne
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 966 hymnals Scripture: 1 Samuel 2:6 Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's aweful throne,
ye nations, bow with sacred joy;
know that the Lord is God alone:
he can create, and he destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
made us of clay, and formed us then;
and, when like wandering sheep we strayed,
he brought us to his fold again.
3 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs,
high as the heavens our voices raise;
and earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
4 Wide as the world is thy command,
vast as eternity thy love;
firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
when rolling years shall cease to move.

Upward I lift mine eyes
Author: Watts Appears in 242 hymnals Scripture: 1 Samuel 2:6-11 Lyrics: 1 Upward I lift mine eyes,
From God is all mine aid:--
The God who built the skies,
And earth's foundations laid.
God is the tower to which I fly:
His grace is nigh in every hour.
2 My feet shall never slide
Or fall in fatal snares;
While God, my guard and guide,
Defends me from my fears.
Those wakeful eyes that never sleep,
His children keep when dangers rise.
3 No burning heats by day,
Nor blasts of evening air,
Shall take my health away,
If God be with me there.
Thou art my sun, and thou my shade,
To guard my head by night or noon.

2 O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.

which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail:
4 and that the highest gift of grace
should flesh and blood refine;
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine;
5 who in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his followers, and inspire
to suffer and to die.

and in the depth be praise;

most sure in all his ways. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday); Praise of God; Sunday of the Passion Used With Tune: GERONTIUS

Lord, what a heaven of saving grace
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: 1 Samuel 2:1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, what a heaven of saving grace
Shines through the beauties of thy face,
And lights our passions to a flame!
Lord, how we love thy charming name!
2 When I can say, “My God is mine,”
When I can feel thy glories shine,
I tread the world beneath my feet,
And all that earth calls good or great.
3 While such a scene of sacred joys
Our raptured eyes and soul employs,
Here we could sit and gaze away,
A long, an everlasting day.
4 Well, we shall quickly pass the night
To the fair coasts of perfect light;
Then shall our joyful senses rove
O’er the dear Object of our love.
5 [There shall we drink full draughts of bliss,
And pluck new life from heavenly trees;
Yet now and then, dear Lord, bestow
A drop of heaven on worms below.]
6 [Send comforts down from thy right hand,
While we pass through this barren land,
And in thy temple let us see
A glimpse of love, a glimpse of thee.] Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Joy
Lord, what a heaven of saving grace
