This Same Jesus

Author: Havergal Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ First Line: "This same Jesus!" O how sweetly Lyrics: 1. "This same Jesus!" O how sweetly Fall those words upon the ear, Like the swell of far off music, In a night watch still and clear, He who healed the hopeless leper, He who dried the widow's tear, He who changed to health and gladness Helpless, suff'ring, trembling fear. 2. "This same Jesus!" When the vision Of that last and awful day Bursts upon the prostrate spirit, Like a midnight lightning ray, May we lift our hearts, adoring "This same Jesus," loved and known As our own most gracious Saviour, Seated on the great white throne, 3. He himself, and "not another," He for whom our hearts have yearned Thro' long years of twilight waiting, To his ransomed ones returned; For this word, O Lord, we bless thee, Bless our Master's changeless name; Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus Christ is still the same.

Jerusalem the Golden

Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice oppress'd: I know not, O I know not What holy joy are there; What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare. 2. There is the throne of David, And there, from care releas'd. The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 3. O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country, That eager hearts expect!

Refrain First Line: Help me, dear Saviour, thee to own Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sov'reign die? Would he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? Chorus: Help me, dear Saviour, thee to own, And ever faithful be; And when thou sittest on thy throne, O Lord, remember me. 2 Was it for crimes that I have done, He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ the mighty Maker died For man, the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While his dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'Tis all that I can do.
