Used With Tune: WITTENBERG Text Sources: Sts. 3-6 anon.

Who is, Jesus blest

Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Who is, Jesus blest, Like to thee, sweet Rest! From the multitude elected, Life of those who were rejected, Light, too, brightest, best, Jesus, dearest Rest! 2 Life, who me to save Enteredst the grave! For my sins of death hast tasted All the realms of hell hast wasted, Life who me to save, Didst hell's fury brave. 3 Majesty most dear, Mightiest King and Seer, I will kiss Thy scepter holy, At Thy feet will sit me lowly, And like Mary hear; Majesty most dear! 4 By Thy Spirit's rays Let me know Thy praise; Thine by faith, may I ne'er perish; Warm love may I always cherish, Thine through all my days, Thou, my beauteous Praise! 5 When the billows' might, In the gloomy night, With o'erwhelming weight would wreck me, Savior, let Thy hand protect me; Keep me by thy might, Guardian of the night. 6 And when death's at hand, Lord, then let me stand: Through death's shadows gently bear me, And for light of bliss prepare me, That I there may stand, Lord, at Thy right hand.

I leave Thee not; Thou art my Jesus ever

Meter: 11.4 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: The Redeemer 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!

I was a wandering sheep

Appears in 500 hymnals Topics: The Redeemer 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.
