I leave Thee not; Thou art my Jesus ever

Meter: 11.4 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I leave Thee not; Thou art my Jesus ever, Though earth rebel, And death and hell Would, from its steadfast hold, my faith dissever. Ah, no! I ever will Cling to my Helper still. Hear what my love is taught: Thou art my Jesus ever, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 2 I leave Thee not, O Love! of love the highest, Though doubt display Its battle-day; I own the power which Thou, my Lord appliest. Thou didst bear guilt and woe; Shall I to torment go, When into judgment brought? O Love! of love the highest, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 3 I leave Thee not, O Thou who sweetly cheerest! Whose fresh supplies Cause strength to rise, Just in the hour when faith's decay is nearest. If sickness chill the soul, And nights of languor roll, My heart one hope hath caught; O Thou who sweetly cheerest, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 4 I leave Thee not, Thou Help in tribulation! Heap ill on ill. I trust Thee still, I hope when all seems near to desolation, Do what Thou wilt with me, I yet will cling to Thee; Thy grace I have besought; Thou Help in tribulation, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 5 I leave Thee not: shall I forsake salvation? No, Jesus, no! Thou shalt not go; Mine still Thou art, to free from condemnation. After this fleeting night, Thy presence brings me light, Whose ray my soul hath sought; Shall I forsake salvation? I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 6 I leave Thee not; Thy Word my way shall brighten: With Thee I go Through weal and woe, Thy precept wise shall every burden lighten. My Lord, on Thee I hang, Nor heed the journey's pang, Though thorny be my lot; Let but Thy Word enlighten, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 7 I leave Thee not, e'en in the lap of pleasure; For when I stray Without Thy ray, My richest joy must cease to be a treasure. I shudder at the glee, When no delight from Thee Has heartfelt peace begot; E'en in the lap of pleasure, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 8 I leave Thee not! I fear no condemnation, For how could share Thy child and heir The lot of those who spurn their soul's salvation? Thy blood, Lord, cleanseth me, And therefore I am free From hell, the sinner's lot. I fear no condemnation; I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! 9 I leave Thee not, my God, my Lord, my Heaven! Nor death shall rend From Thee, my Friend, Who for my sake Thyself to death hast given. Thou diedst for love to me, And love goes back to Thee; My heart has but one thought: My God, my Lord, my Heaven, I leave Thee not, I leave Thee not! Topics: The Redeemer

I was a wandering sheep

Appears in 498 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I was a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd's voice, I would not be controlled; I was a wayward child, I did not love my home; I did not love my Father's voice, I loved afar to roam, 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; They followed me o'er vale and hill, O'er deserts waste and wild; They found me nigh to death, Famished, and faint, and lone; They bound me with the bands of love, They saved the wandering one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is, 'Twas He that loved my soul, 'Twas He that washed me in His blood, 'Twas He that made me whole; 'Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep; 'Twas He that brought me to the fold, 'Tis He that still doth keep. 4 I was a wandering sheep, I would not be controlled. But now I love my Shepherd's voice, I love, I love the fold. I was a wayward child, I once preferred to roam, But now I love my Father's voice, I love, I love His home. Topics: The Redeemer

Jesus! and shall it ever be

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,274 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of Thee? Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days? 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star; He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon: 'Tis midnight with my soul, till He, Bright Morning-star, bids darkness flee. 4 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend! No; when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere His name. 5 Ashamed of Jesus? yes, I may, When I've no guilt to wash away, No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. 6 Till then—-nor is my boasting vain—- Till then I boast a Savior slain; And oh, may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me!

Jesus, Savior, come to me!

Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Savior, come to me! Let me ever be with Thee; Come, and nevermore depart, Thou who reignest in my heart. 2 Lord, for Thee I ever sigh, Nothing else can satisfy, 'Tis my constant cry to Thee: Jesus, Jesus, come to me! 3 Earthly joys can give no peace, Cannot bid my longing cease; But to have my Jesus near, This is all my pleasure here. 4 All that makes the angels glad, In their garb of glory clad, Only fills me with distress, If Thy presence do not bless. 5 Take Thou all away from me, I shall still thus minded be; Thou who madest me Thine own Shalt be e'er my joy alone. 6 Lord, to none on earth, beside Thee, my heart I open wide; Enter Thou, possess it all, Thee alone mine own I call. 7 Thou alone, my God and Lord, Art my Glory and Reward; Thou hast bled for me and died, I will be no other's bride. 8 Come then, Lamb for sinners slain, Come and ease me of my pain; Evermore I cry to Thee: Jesus, Jesus, come to me! 9 Patiently I wait Thy day; For this gift yet, Lord, I pray, That, when death shall come to me, My sweet Jesus Thuo wilt be.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Meter: 7.6.8.1 Appears in 843 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free, To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succor speedy To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing; Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; And love, joy, hope, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth. Before Him, on the mountains Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 To Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His name shall stand forever; That name to us is Love. Topics: Advent

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus only

For my heart, which He hath filled, Ever cries: Lord, as Thou wilt. 2 One it is for whom I'm living, Whom I'm loving faithfully; Jesus, unto whom I'm giving What in love He gave to me. Jesus' blood hides all my guilt; Lord, O lead me as Thou wilt. 3 Seems a thing to me a treasure, Which displeasing is to Thee, Then remove such dangerous pleasure; Give instead what profits me. Let my heart by Thee be stilled, Make me Thine, Lord, as Thou wilt. 4 Grant that always I endeavor Thy good pleasure to fulfill, In me, through me, with me ever, Lord, accomplish Thou Thy will. Let me die, Lord, on Thee built, When, and where, and as Thou wilt. 5 Lord, my praise shall be unceasing, For Thou gav'st thyself to me, And besides so many a blessing, That I sing now joyfully: Be it unto me, my Shield, As Thou wilt, Lord, as Thou wilt.

Jesus, Lover of my soul

Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 3,226 hymnals 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, ah, 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 defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Wilt Thou not regard my call? Wilt Thou not accept my prayer? Lo! I sink, I faint, I fall; Lo! on Thee I cast my care. Reach me out Thy gracious hand! While I of Thy strength receive, Hoping against hope I stand, Dying, and behold, I live! 4 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. 5 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. Topics: The Redeemer

Jesus, priceless Treasure

Meter: 6.6 Appears in 131 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless Treasure, Source of purest pleasure, Truest Friend to me! Long my heart hath panted, 'Till it well-nigh fainted, Thirsting after Thee! Thine I am, O spotless Lamb! I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Ask for naught beside Thee. 2 In Thine arms I rest me, Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here; Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear; Sin and hell, in conflict fell, With their heaviest storms assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Satan, I defy thee; Death, I need not fly thee; Fear, I bid thee cease! Rage, O world, thy noises Cannot drown our voices Singing still of peace, For God's power guards every hour; Earth and all its depths adore Him, Silent bow before Him. 4 Wealth, I will not heed thee, Wherefore should I need thee? Jesus is my Joy! Honors, ye may glisten, But I will not listen, Ye the soul destroy! Want or loss or shame or cross Ne'er to leave my Lord shall move me, Since He deigns to love me. 5 Farewell, thou who choosest Earth, and heaven refusest, Thou wilt tempt in vain; Farewell, sins, nor blind me, Get ye far behind me, Come not forth again; Past your hour, O pomp and power; Godless life, thy bonds I sever, Farewell now forever! 6 Hence, all fears and sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within; Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless Treasure!

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me

Appears in 347 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; Unite my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there. Thine wholly, Thine alone I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2 O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell but Thy pure love alone; O may Thy love possess me whole, My Joy, my Treasure, and my Crown: Strange flames far from my heart remove; My every act word, thought, be love! 3 O Love, how cheering is Thy ray! All pain before Thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er Thy healing beams arise: O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek but Thee. 4 Unwearied, may I this pursue, Dauntless to the high prize aspire; Hourly within my soul renew This holy flame, this heavenly fire; And day and night be all my care To guard this sacred treasure there. 5 O draw me, Savior, after Thee! So shall I run and never tire. With gracious words still comfort me; Be Thou my Hope, my sole Desire. Free me from every weight: nor fear Nor sin can come, if Thou art here. 6 From all eternity, with love Unchangeable Thou hast me viewed, Ere knew this beating heart to move, Thy tender mercies me pursued. Ever with me may they abide, And close me in on every side. 7 Still let Thy love point out my way; What wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my work, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 8 In suffering be Thy love my peace, In weakness be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that important hour, In death as life be Thou my Guide, And save me, who for me hast died!
