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

Pattern of Forgiveness

Author: John H. Gurney Hymnal: Laudes Domini #156 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: Lord, as to thy dear cross we flee Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to thy dear cross we flee, And pray to be forgiven, So let thy life our pattern be, And form our souls for heaven. 2 Help us, through good report and ill, Our daily cross to bear; Like thee, to do our Father's will, Our brother's griefs to share. 3 Let grace our selfishness expel, Our earthliness refine; And kindness in our bosoms dwell As free and true as thine. 4 If joy shall at thy bidding fly, And grief's dark day come on, We, in our turn, would meekly cry, "Father, thy will be done!" 5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife, Forgiving and forgiven, Oh, may we lead the pilgrim's life, And follow thee to heaven!

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

"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.

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!

"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

"He is precious"

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.

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.
