"Our infirmities"
Author: Mrs. Amelia Wakeford Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Jesus, and didst thou condescend Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and didst thou condescend,
When vailed in human clay,
To heal the sick, the lame, the blind,
And drive disease away?
2 Didst thou regard the beggar's cry,
And give the blind to see?
Jesus, thou Son of David, hear--
Have mercy, too, on me.
3 And didst thou pity mortal woe,
And sight and health restore?
Then pity, Lord, and save my soul,
Which needs thy mercy more.
4 Didst thou regard thy servant's cry,
When sinking in the wave?
I perish, Lord, oh, save my soul!
For thou alone canst save. Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22 Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD

Christ our Rest
Author: G. Matheson Appears in 696 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: LA MONTE
Christ our Rest
"He healed them"
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 76 hymnals 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.

The Name of Christ
Author: W. Gadsby Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: Sweet the name of Christ must be Lyrics: 1 Sweet the name of Christ must be,
From and to eternity;
For it pleased the Father well,
Fulness all in Christ should dwell.
2 Jesus is his name, and Christ;
He my Surety is, and Priest;
He has saved my soul from sin,
And I stand complete in him.
3 [Unctuous is his heavenly love;
He anoints me from above;
When his heavenly odours flow,
I have joy and peace below.]
4 Head o’er all is Christ to me,
And I shall his glory see;
Therefore in his name I’ll trust,
And of him will make my boast.
5 All a hungry soul can want,
Jesus’ name will richly grant;
Not a blessing God can give,
But with Christ the church shall have.
6 May I ever here confide,
Let whatever ills betide;
And if sufferings must ensue,
Gladly bear those sufferings too.
7 May this name be all my choice;
If reproached, let me rejoice;
And with pleasure keep in view,
What the Lord for me went through.

When all things else decay.

With all thy favoured throng,
Then will we sing more sweet, more loud,
And Christ shall be our song.

Behold, he lays his vengeance by;
And rebels that deserve his sword,
Become the favourites of the Lord.

Who gave his life a sacrifice;
Now he appears before our God,
And for our pardon pleads his blood.

To our immortal praise.
The Offices of Christ
'Tis from the treasures of his word
Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 'Tis from the Treasures of his Word
I borrow Titles or my Lord;
Nor Art nor Nature can supply
Sufficient Forms of Majesty.
2 Bright Image of the Father's Face,
Shining with undiminish'd Rays;
Th' Eternal God's Eternal Son,
The Heir and Partner of his Throne.
3 The King of Kings, the Lord most high,
Writes his own Name upon his Thigh;
He wears a Garment dipt in Blood,
And breaks the Nations with his Rod.
4 Where Grace can neither melt nor move,
The Lamb resents his injur'd Love,
Awakes his Wrath without Delay,
And Judah's Lion tears the Prey.
5 But when for Works of Peace he comes,
What winning Titles he assumes?
Light of the World; and Life of Men;
Nor bears those Characters in vain.
6 With tender Pity in his Heart,
He acts the Mediator's Part;
A Friend and Brother he appears,
And well fulfils the Name he wears.
7 At Length the Judge his Throne ascends,
Divides the Rebels from his Friends,
And Saints in full Fruition prove
His rich Variety of Love.
'Tis from the treasures of his word
With cheerful Voice I sing
Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Characters of Christ Lyrics: [1 With chearful Voice I sing
The Titles of my Lord,
And borrow all the Names
Of Honour from his Word,
Nature and Art
Can ne'er supply
Sufficient Forms
Of Majesty.
2 In Jesus we behold
His Father's glorious Face,
Shining for ever bright,
With mild and lovely Rays:
Th' Eternal God's
Eternal Son
Inherits and
Partakes the Throne.]
3 The Sov'reign King of Kings,
The Lord of Lords most high,
Writes his own Name upon
His Garment and his Thigh.
His Name is call'd
The Word of God,
He rules the Earth
With iron Rod.
4 Where Promises and Grace
Can neither melt nor move,
The angry Lamb resents
The Inj'ries of his Love;
Awakes his Wrath
Without Delay,
As Lions roar,
And tear the Prey.
5 But when for Works of Peace
The great Redeemer comes,
What gentle Characters,
What Titles he assumes?
Light of the World,
And Life of Men;
Nor will he bear
Those Names in vain.
6 Immense Compassion reigns
In our Immanuel's Heart,
When he descends to act
A Mediator's Part.
He is a Friend,
And Brother too;
Divinely kind,
Divinely true.
7 At length the Lord the Judge
His awful Throne ascends,
And drives the Rebels far
From Favourites and Friends.
Then shall the Saints
Completely prove
The Heights and Depths
Of all his Love.
With cheerful Voice I sing
