Jesus, Lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 3,383 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the waters nearer roll,
While the tempest still is high!
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last!
2 Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, oh, leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me!
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my help from thee I bring:
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
More than all in Thee I find:
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy Name;
I am all unrighteousness:
False and full of sin I am;
Thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound;
Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the Fountain art;
Freely let me take of Thee;
Spring Thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity. Used With Tune: JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL
Jesus, Lover of my soul
A little child, the Savior came
Author: William Robertson Appears in 55 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Christian Household Lyrics: 1 A little child, the Savior came,
The mighty God was still His Name;
And angels worshipped as He lay,
The seeming infant of a day.
2 He who a little child began
Saved children, too, by sin defiled,
And still proclaims the message free:
Let little children come to Me.
3 We bring, at Thy beloved behest,
Thy heirs in Holy Baptism blest,
Through Christian nurture, faith, and prayer,
That they may all Thy blessings share.
4 O give Thine angels charge, good Lord!
To keep them Thy way and Word;
Be throughout life Thy blessings given,
And in the end take them to heaven. Used With Tune: ALSTONE
A little child, the Savior came
Ye men and angels, witness now
Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 233 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Confirmation Lyrics: 1 Ye men and angels, witness now,
Before the Lord we speak;
To Him we make our solemn vow,
A vow we may not break:
2 That long as life itself shall last,
Ourselves to Christ we'll yield;
Nor from His cause will we depart,
Or ever quit the field.
3 We trust not in our unaided strength,
But on His grace rely;
May He, with our returning wants,
All needful help supply.
4 Lord guide our doubtful feet aright,
And keep us in Thy ways;
And while we turn our vows to prayers,
Turn Thou our prayers to praise. Used With Tune: ST. AGNES
Ye men and angels, witness now
God moves in a mysterious way
Author: William Cowper Appears in 1,165 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Works and Attributes of God Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sov'reign will.
3 Ye fearful saints! fresh courage take:
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding ev'ry hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And He will make it plain. Used With Tune: DEDHAM
God moves in a mysterious way
Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n
Author: Petrus Herbert; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Faith Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n,
That grasps the promise God hath giv'n,
A confidence in Christ alone,
Whose grace cannot be overthrown.
2 Faith in the conscience worketh peace,
And bids the mourner’s weeping cease;
By faith the children’s place we claim
And give all honor to One Name.
3 Faith feels the Spirit’s kindling breath
In love and hope that conquer death;
Faith worketh joyfulness in God
And trusts and blesses e’en the rod.
4 We thank Thee, then, O God of heaven,
That Thou to us this faith hast given;
Preserve to us Thy Spirit's grace
Till we shall see Thee face to face. Used With Tune: UXBRIDGE Text Sources: Moravian
Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n
By cool Siloan's shady rill
Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 615 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Christian Household Lyrics: 1 By cool Siloam’s shady rill,
How fair the lily grows;
How sweet the breath beneath the hill
Of Sharon’s dewy rose:
2 And such the child whose early feet
The paths of peace have trod,
Whose secret heart, with influence sweet,
Is upward drawn to God.
3 By cool Siloam’s shady rill
The lily must decay;
The rose that blooms beneath the hill
Must shortly fade away;
4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour
Of man’s maturer age
May shake the soul with sorrow’s power
And stormy passion’s rage.
5 O Thou, whose infancy was found
With heavenly rays to shine,
Whose years, with changeless virtue crowned,
Were all alike divine,--
6 Dependent on Thy bounteous breath,
We seek Thy grace alone,
In childhood, manhood, and in death,
To keep us still Thine own. Used With Tune: SILOAM
By cool Siloan's shady rill
Again the Lord of life and light
Author: Anna Laetitia Barbauld Appears in 301 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Sunday Morning Lyrics: 1 Again the Lord of life and light
Awakes the kindling ray;
Dispels the darkness of the night,
And pours increasing day.
2 O what a night was that which wrapped
A sinful world in gloom!
O what a Sun that broke, this day,
Triumphant from the tomb!
3 This day be grateful homage paid,
And loud hosannas sung:
Let gladness dwell in every heart,
And praise on every tongue.
4 Ten thousand, thousand lips shall join
To hail this welcome morn.
Which scatters blessings from its wings
To nations yet unborn. Used With Tune: MARLOW
Again the Lord of life and light
Glorious things of Thee are spoken
Author: Rev. John Newton Appears in 1,339 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Church Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of Thee are spoken,
Zion, City of our God.
He, whose word cannot be broken,
Formed thee for His own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters
And all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
Ever flows, their thirst t'assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the Giver,
Never fails from age to age.
3 Savior, since of Zion's city
I, through grace, a member am,
Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in Thy Name.
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show:
Solid joys and lasting treasure,
None but Zion's children know. Used With Tune: HARWELL
Glorious things of Thee are spoken
O for a faith that will not shrink
Author: William Hiley Bathurst Appears in 720 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Faith Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink,
Tho' pressed by ev'ry foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe!
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chast'ning rod,
But, in the hour of grief or pain
Will lean upon its God;
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear,
When tempests rage without;
That, when in danger, knows no fear,
In darkness, feels no doubt;
4 That bears, unmoved the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That seas of trouble cannot drown,
Nor Satan’s arts beguile,
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed.
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste e’en here the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Used With Tune: MANOAH
O for a faith that will not shrink
Let ev'ry ear attend
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 486 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Word Lyrics: 1 Let ev'ry mortal ear attend,
And ev'ry heart rejoice;
The trumpet of the Gospel sounds
With an inviting voice.
2 Ho! all ye starving souls
That feed upon the wind,
And vainly strive with earthly toys
To fill an empty mind.
3 Here wisdom has prepared
A soul-reviving feast,
And bids your longing appetites
The rich provision taste.
4 Ho! ye that pant for living streams,
And pine away and die,
Here you may quench your raging thirst
With springs that never dry.
5 Rivers of love and mercy here
In a rich ocean join;
Salvation in abundance flows,
Like floods of milk and wine.
6 The gates of Gospel grace
Stand open night and day:
Lord! we are come to seek supplies,
And drive our wants away. Used With Tune: BADEA
Let ev'ry ear attend
