My soul, redeemed from sin and hell, Shall thy salvation sing. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER

I love thy charming name, 'Tis music to mine ear; Fain would I sound it out so loud, That earth and heaven should hear. 2 Yes!--thou art precious to my soul, My transport and my trust; Jewels, to thee, are gaudy toys, And gold is sordid dust. 3 All my capacious powers can wish, In thee doth richly meet; Not mine eyes is light so dear, Nor friendship half so sweet. 4 Thy grace still dwells upon my heart, And sheds its fragrance there;-- The noblest balm of all its wounds, The cordial of its care.

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary, rest. 3 Jesus! my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King; My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. 4 Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought; But when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought. 5 Till then I would thy love proclaim, With every fleeting breath; And may the music of thy name, Refresh my soul in death.

O Joy of all the meek! To those who fall, how kind thou art! How good to those who seek! 4 But what to those who find? Ah! this, Nor tongue nor pen can show; The love of Jesus, what it is, None but his loved ones know. 5 Jesus, our only joy be thou, As thou our prize wilt be; Jesus, be thou our glory now, And through eternity.

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #399 (1888) Topics: Communion of Saints With Christ First Line: Dear Refuge of my weary soul Lyrics: 1 Dear Refuge of my weary soul, On thee, when sorrows rise, On thee, when waves of trouble roll, My fainting hope relies. 2 To thee I tell each rising grief, For thou alone canst heal; Thy word can bring a sweet relief For every pain I feel. 3 But oh, when gloomy doubts prevail, I fear to call thee mine; The springs of comfort seem to fail, And all my hopes decline. 4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only trust; And still my soul would cleave to thee, Though prostrate in the dust. 5 Thy mercy-seat is open still, Here let my soul retreat, With humble hope attend thy will, And wait beneath thy feet.

"Whom unseen, we love"

Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Laudes Domini #400 (1888) Topics: Communion of Saints With Christ First Line: Jesus, these eyes have never seen Lyrics: 1 Jesus, these eyes have never seen That radiant form of thine! The vail of sense hangs dark between Thy blessed face and mine! 2 I see thee not, I hear thee not, Yet art thou oft with me; And earth has ne'er so dear a spot, As where I meet with thee. 3 Like some bright dream that comes unsought, When slumbers o'er me roll, Thine image ever fills my thought, And charms my ravished soul. 4 Yet though I have not seen, and still Must rest in faith alone; I love thee, dearest Lord!--and will, Unseen, but not unknown. 5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal, And still this throbbing heart, The rending vail shall thee reveal, All glorious as thou art!

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #401 (1888) Topics: Communion of Saints With Christ First Line: My Saviour, whom absent I love Lyrics: 1 My Saviour, whom absent I love, Whom, not having seen, I adore, Whose name is exalted above All glory, dominion, and powers,-- Dissolve thou these bands that detain My soul from her portion in thee; Ah, strike off this adamant chain, And make me eternally free! 2 When that happy era begins, When arrayed in thy glories I shine, Nor grieve any more, by my sins, The bosom on which I recline, Oh, then shall the vail be removed, And round me thy brightness be poured! I shall meet him, whom absent I loved, I shall see, whom unseen I adored! 3 And then, nevermore shall the fears, The trials, temptations, and woes, Which darken this valley of tears, Intrude on my blissful repose: To Jesus, the crown of my hope, My soul is in haste to be gone; Oh, bear me, ye cherubim, up, And waft me away to his throne!
