I look to Jesus, and the face
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Christ light of the world; Christians their life and experience; Confidence in Christ; Consolation; Doubt; Faith In Christ; Faith Power of; Faith Blessedness of; Fruits of the Spirit patience and resignation; Goodness of God a ground of trust; Happiness of love and trust; Light Christ the Light of the world; Looking unto Jesus; Resignation Lyrics: 1 I look to Jesus, and the face
Of God is turn'd on me in love,
I feel a Father's fond embrace,
And all my doubts and fears remove.
2 I look to Jesus, and behold!
My heart is lighten'd of its cares,
My love for earthly things grows cold,
And pleasure vainly spreads her snares.
3 I look to Jesus, and the sight
Of all that He endured for me,
Makes e'en my greatest sufferings light,
Compared with His deep agony.
4 I look to Jesus when my zeal
And faith and love grow dead and cold;
Then doth He Calvary reveal,
And makes me in His service bold.
5 Thus let me, Lord, while life doth last,
In faith look ever up to Thee,
And when life's sinful days are past
I shall Thy face in glory see.
I look to Jesus, and the face
O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 153 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience; Confidence in Christ; Consolation; Despondency; Faith In Christ; Fruits of the Spirit patience and resignation; Goodness of God a ground of trust; Looking unto Jesus; Resignation Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!
Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more!
The light of His countenance shineth so bright,
That here, as in heaven, there need be no night.
2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear;
I tremble no more when I see Jesus near;
I know that His presence my safeguard will be,
For, "Why are you troubled?" He saith unto me.
3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found,
When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round:
They bear me away in His presence to be:
I see Him still nearer whom always I see.
4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace
Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face;
I shall know how His love went before me each day,
And wonder that ever my eyes turn'd away.
O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!

I Bind unto Myself Today

the strong name of the Trinity
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One and One in Three.
2 I bind this day to me forever,
by power of faith, Christ’s incarnation,
his baptism in the Jordan river,
his death on cross for my salvation,
his bursting from the spiced tomb,
his riding up the heavenly way,
his coming at the day of doom,
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the starlit heaven,
the glorious sun’s life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind’s tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
God’s eye to watch, God’s might to stay,
God’s ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
God’s hand to guide, God’s shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
God’s heavenly host to be my guard.
5 Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
6 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong name of the Trinity
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One and One in Three,
of whom all nature has creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
salvation is of Christ the Lord!

How sad our state by nature is!
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 291 hymnals Topics: Faith in Christ for Pardon and Sanctification; Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 How sad our state by nature is!
Our sin how deep it stains!
And satan binds our captive minds
Fast in his slavish chains.
2 But there's a voice of sovereign grace
Sounds from the sacred word,
"Ho, ye despairing sinners, come,
And trust upon the Lord."
3 My soul obeys th'almighty call,
And runs to this relief;
I would believe thy promise, Lord,
Oh! help my unbelief.
4 To the dear fountain of thy blood,
Incarnate God, I fly,
Here let me wash my spotted soul,
From crimes of deepest dye.
5 Stretch out thine arm, victorious King,
My reigning sins subdue,
Drive the old dragon from his seat,
With all his hellish crew.
6 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm,
On thy kind arms I fall:
Be thou my strength and righteousness,
My Jesus and my all.
How sad our state by nature is!
