Chorus: For He is so precious to me, For He is so precious to me; ’Tis heaven below my Redeemer to know, For He is so precious to me. 2 He stood at my heart’s door ’mid sunshine and rain, And patiently waited an entrance to gain; What shame that so long He entreated in vain, For He is so precious to me. (Chorus) 3 I stand on the mountain of blessing at last, No cloud in the heavens a shadow to cast; His smile is upon me, the valley is past, For He is so precious to me.

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 87 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-6 Lyrics: 1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, see him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ, by man rejected; yes, my soul, 'tis he, 'tis he. 'Tis the long-expected Prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; proofs I see sufficient of it: 'tis the true and faithful Word. 2 Tell me, as you hear him groaning, was there ever grief like his, friends through fear his cause disowning, foes insulting his distress? Many hands were raised to wound him, none would intervene to save; but the deepest stroke that pierced him was the stroke that justice gave. 3 If you think of sin but lightly nor suppose the evil great, here you see its nature rightly, here its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed, see who bears the awful load; 'tis the Word, the Lord's anointed, Son of Man and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation, here the refuge of the lost: Christ, the Rock of our salvation, is the name of which we boast; Lamb of God, for sinners wounded, sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded who on him their hope have built. Topics: Jesus' Passion Used With Tune: O MEIN JESU, ICH MUSS STERBEN

Father, Let Me Dedicate

Author: Lawrence Tuttiett Meter: 7.5.7.5 D Appears in 82 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9 Lyrics: 1 Father, let me dedicate, All this year to Thee, In whatever worldly state Thou wilt have me be. Not from sorrow, pain or care, Freedom dare I claim; This alone shall be my prayer: Glorify Thy name. 2 Can a child presume to choose Where or how to live? Can a Father’s love refuse All the best to give? More Thou givest ev'ry day Than the best can claim Nor withholdest aught that may Glorify Thy name. 3 If in mercy Thou wilt spare Joys that yet are mine; If on life, serene and fair, Brighter rays may shine. Let my glad heart while it sings, Thee in all proclaim And, whate’er the future brings, Glorify Thy name. 4 If Thou callest to the cross, And its shadow come, Turning all my gain to loss, Shrouding heart and home. Let me think how Thy dear Son To His glory came And in deepest woe pray on: "Glorify Thy name." Amen. Topics: The Church Year New Year Used With Tune: GLORIFICATION
