"He knoweth our frame"

Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: Laudes Domini #376 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: Yes, he knows the way is dreary Lyrics: 1 Yes, he knows the way is dreary, Knows the weakness of our frame, Knows that hand and heart are weary, He in all points felt the same. He is near to help and bless; Be not weary, onward press. 2 Look to him, who once was willing All his glory to resign, That, for thee the law fulfilling, All his merit might be thine. Strive to follow, day by day, Where his footsteps mark the way. 3 Look to him, the Lord of Glory, Tasting death to win thy life; Gazing on that wondrous story, Canst thou falter in the strife? Is it not new life to know That the Lord hath loved thee so? 4 Look to him, and faith shall brighten, Hope shall soar, and love shall burn, Peace once more thy heart shall lighten; Rise, he calleth thee, return! Be not weary on thy way; Jesus is thy strength and stay. Languages: English

Christ our Rest

Matheson Hymnal: Laudes Domini #383 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: O Love, that wilt not let me go Lyrics: 1 O Love, that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee; I give thee back the life I owe, That in thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. 2 O Light, that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in thy sunshine's blaze its day May brighter, fairer be. 3 O Joy, that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the sunshine through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain That morning shall tearless be. 4 O Cross, that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust life's glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be.

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

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.

Shield and Sun, Shepherd, Brother, Lord, and Friend Every precious name in one! I will love thee without end. Languages: English

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

For thou art all to me, And I am thine. Is there on earth a closer bond than this, That "my Beloved's mine, and I am his?" 2 Thine am I by all ties; But chiefly thine, That through thy sacrifice, Thou, Lord, art mine. By thine own cords of love, so sweetly wound Around me, I to thee am closely bound. 3 To thee, thou bleeding Lamb, I all things owe; All that I have and am, And all I know. All that I have is now no longer mine, And I am not mine own; Lord, I am thine. 4 How can I, Lord, withhold Life's brightest hour, From thee; or gathered gold, Or any power? Why should I keep one precious thing from thee, When thou hast given thine own dear self for me? Languages: English Tune Title: BUDLEIGH
