"His free ways"
Author: F. W. Faber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #149 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: Oh, see how Jesus trusts himself Lyrics: 1 Oh, see how Jesus trusts himself
Unto our childish love!
As though by his free ways with us
Our earnestness to prove.
His sacred name a common word
On earth he loves to hear;
There is no majesty in him
Which love may not come near.
2 The light of love is round his feet,
His paths are never dim;
And he comes nigh to us when we
Dare not come nigh to him.
Let us be simple with him then,
Not backward, stiff, nor cold,
As though our Bethlehem could be
What Sinai was of old. Languages: English

The Great Teacher
Author: John Bowring Hymnal: Laudes Domini #152 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: How sweetly flowed the gospel sound Lyrics: 1 How sweetly flowed the gospel sound
From lips of gentleness and grace,
When listening thousands gathered round,
And joy and gladness filled the place!
2 From heaven he came, of heaven he spoke,
To heaven he led his followers' way;
Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke,
Unvailing an immortal day.
3 "Come, wanderers, to my Father's home,
Come, all ye weary ones, and rest;"
Yes, sacred Teacher, we will come,
Obey thee, love thee, and be blest!
4 Decay then, tenements of dust;
Pillars of earthly pride, decay:
A nobler mansion waits the just,
And Jesus has prepared the way.

"Holy, harmless"
Author: Arthur C. Coxe Hymnal: Laudes Domini #153 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: How beauteous were the marks divine Lyrics: 1 How beauteous were the marks divine,
That in thy meekness used to shine,
That lit thy lonely pathway, trod
In wondrous love, O Son of God!
2 Oh, who like thee, so calm, so bright,
So pure, so made to live in light?
Oh, who like thee did ever go
So patient through a world of woe?
3 Oh, who like thee so humbly bore
The scorn, the scoffs of men, before?
So meek, forgiving, godlike, high,
So glorious in humility?
4 Even death, which sets the prisoner free,
Was pang, and scoff, and scorn to thee;
Yet love through all thy torture glowed,
And mercy with thy life-blood flowed.
5 Oh, in thy light be mine to go,
Illuming all my way of woe!
And give me ever on the road
To trace thy footsteps, Son of God. Languages: English
"Holy, harmless"
"He healed them"
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #154 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: When, like a stranger on our sphere Lyrics: 1 When, like a stranger on our sphere,
The lowly Jesus wandered here,
Where'er he went, affliction fled,
And sickness reared her fainting head.
2 The eye that rolled in irksome night,
Behold his face for God is light;
The opening ear, the loosened tongue,
His precepts heard, his praises sung.
3 With bounding steps the halt and lame,
To hail their great Deliverer came;
O'er the cold grave he bowed his head,
He spake the word, and raised the dead.
4 Despairing madness, dark and wild,
In his inspiring presence smiled;
The storm of horror ceased to roll,
And reason lightened through the soul.
5 Through paths of loving-kindness led,
Where Jesus triumphed we would tread;
To all, with willing hands dispense
The gifts of our benevolence. Languages: English
"He healed them"
Jesus' Words
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Laudes Domini #148 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: I heard the voice of Jesus say Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon my breast!"
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad,
I found in him a resting-place,
And he hath me me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live!"
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
Look unto me, thy morn shall rise
And all thy day be bright!"
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my Star, my Sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk,
Till all my journey's done. Languages: English

I Samuel 3:10
Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: Laudes Domini #374 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: Master, speak! thy servant heareth Lyrics: 1 Master, speak! thy servant heareth,
Longing for thy gracious word,
Longing for thy voice that cheereth;
Master, let it now be heard.
I am listening, Lord, for thee;
What hast thou to say to me?
2 Often through my heart is pealing
Many another voice than thine;
Many an unwilled echo stealing
From the walls of this thy shrine.
Let thy longed-for accents fall;
Master, speak! and silence all.
3 Master, speak! I do not doubt thee,
Though so tearfully I plead;
Saviour, Shepherd! oh, without thee
Life would be a blank indeed.
But I long for fuller light,
Deeper love and clearer sight.
4 Speak to me by name, O Master,
Let me know it is to me;
Speak, that I may follow faster,
With a step more firm and free,
Where the Shepherd leads the flock,
In the shadow of the rock! Languages: English Tune Title: GRANGE
I Samuel 3:10
"Immanuel"
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #388 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: Sweeter sounds than music knows Lyrics: 1 Sweeter sounds than music knows
Charm me in Immanuel's name;
All her hopes my spirt owes
To his birth, and cross, and shame.
2 When he came, the angels sung,
"Glory be to God on high:"
Lord, unloose my stammering tongue;
Who should louder sing than I?
3 Did the Lord a man become,
That he might the law fulfill,
Bleed and suffer in my room,
And canst thou, my tongue, be still!
4 No; I must my praises bring,
Though they worthless are, and weak;
For should I refuse to sing,
Sure the very stones would speak.
5 O my Saviour! Shield and Sun,
Shepherd, Brother, Lord, and Friend
Every precious name in one!
I will love thee without end. Languages: English

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #397 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: How sweet the name of Jesus sounds Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.
3 Jesus! my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King;
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.
4 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
5 Till then I would thy love proclaim,
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of thy name,
Refresh my soul in death. Languages: English Tune Title: HEBER

Never separated
Author: Richard Massie Hymnal: Laudes Domini #407 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: I know no life divided Lyrics: 1 I know no life divided,
O Lord of life, from thee;
In thee is life provided
For all mankind and me;
I know no death, O Jesus,
Because I live in thee;
Thy death it is that frees us
From death eternally.
2 I fear no tribulation,
Since, whatsoe'er it be,
It makes no separation
Between my Lord and me.
If thou, my God and Teacher,
Vouchsafe to be my own,
Though poor, I shall be richer
Than monarch on his throne.
3 If, while on earth I wander,
My heart is right and blest,
Ah, what shall I be yonder,
In perfect peace and rest?
Oh, blessed thought! in dying
We go to meet the Lord,
Where there shall be no sighing,
A kingdom our reward. Languages: English Tune Title: SPITTA

"Jesus is my friend"
Author: C. Winkworth Hymnal: Laudes Domini #411 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: Since Jesus is my friend Lyrics: 1 Since Jesus is my friend,
And I to him belong,
It matters not what foes intend,
However fierce and strong.
2 He whispers in my breast
Sweet words of holy cheer,
How they who seek in God their rest
Shall ever find him near;
3 How God hath built above
A city fair and new,
Where eye and heart shall see and prove
What faith has counted true.
4 My heart for gladness springs;
It cannot more be sad;
For very joy it smiles and sings,
Sees naught but sunshine glad.
5 The sun that lights mine eyes
Is Christ, the Lord I love;
I sing for joy of that which lies
Stored up for me above. Languages: English Tune Title: GREENWOOD
