Blest are the pure in heart

Author: John Keble (1792-1866); William J. Hall (1793-1861) Appears in 403 hymnals Topics: The life of holiness Challenge Lyrics: 1 Blest are the pure in heart, For they shall see our God; The secret of the Lord is theirs; Their soul is Christ’s abode. 2 The Lord, who left the heavens Our life and peace to bring, To dwell in lowliness with men, Their pattern and their King; 3 Still to the lowly soul He doth himself impart, And for his cradle and his throne Chooseth the pure in heart. 4 Lord, we thy presence seek; May ours this blessing be; Give us a pure and lowly heart, A temple meet for thee.

Eternal Light! Eternal Light

Author: Thomas Binney (1798-1874) Appears in 88 hymnals Topics: The life of holiness Challenge Lyrics: 1 Eternal Light! Eternal Light! How pure the soul must be, When, placed within thy searching sight, It shrinks not, but with calm delight, Can live and look on thee. 2 The spirits that surround thy throne May bear the burning bliss; But that is surely theirs alone, Since they have never, never known A fallen world like this. 3 O how shall I, whose native sphere Is dark, whose mind is dim, Before the ineffable appear, And on my naked spirit bear The uncreated beam? 4 There is a way for man to rise To that sublime abode; An offering and a sacrifice, A Holy Spirit’s energies, An advocate with God. 5 These, these prepare us for the sight Of holiness above; The sons of ignorance and night May dwell in the eternal light, Through the eternal love.

From every stain made clean

Author: Herbert Howard Booth (1892-1926) Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: The life of holiness Challenge Lyrics: 1 From every stain made clean, From every sin set free; O blessèd Lord, this is the gift That thou hast promised me. And pressing through the past Of failure, fault and fear, Before thy cross my soul I cast, And dare to leave it there. 2 From thee I would not hide My sin, because of fear What men may think; I hate my pride, And as I am appear, Just as I am, O Lord, Not what I’m thought to be, Just as I am, a struggling soul For life and liberty. 3 While in thy light I stand, My heart, I seem to see, Has failed to take from thy own hand The gifts it offers me. O Lord, thy plenteous grace, Thy wisdom and thy power, I here proclaim, before thy face, Can keep me every hour. 4 Upon the altar here I lay my treasure down; I only want to have thee near, King of my heart to crown. The fire doth surely burn My every selfish claim; And while from them to thee I turn, I trust in thy great name. 5 A heart by blood made clean In every wish and thought, A heart that by God’s power has been Into subjection brought, To walk, to weep, to sing, Within the light of Heaven; This is the blessing, Saviour-King, That thou to me hast given.

Author: Herbert Howard Booth (1862-1926) Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: The life of holiness Challenge Lyrics: 1 I bring my heart to Jesus, with its fears, With its hopes and feelings, and its tears; Him it seeks, and finding, it is blest; Him it loves, and loving, is at rest. Walking with my Saviour, heart in heart, None can part. 2 I bring my life to Jesus, with its care, And before his footstool leave it there; Faded are its treasures, poor and dim; It is not worth living without him. More than life is Jesus, love and peace, Ne’er to cease. 3 I bring my sins to Jesus, as I pray That his blood will wash them all away; While I seek for favour at his feet, And with tears his promise still repeat, He doth tell me plainly: Jesus lives And forgives. 4 I bring my all to Jesus; he hath seen How my soul desireth to be clean. Nothing from his altar I withhold When his cross of suffering I behold; And the fire descending brings to me Liberty.

O loving Saviour, now to thee I bring the load that wearies me. 4 I bring my grief to thee, The grief I cannot tell; No words shall needed be, Thou knowest all so well. I bring the sorrow laid on me, O suffering Saviour, now to thee. 5 My joys to thee I bring, The joys thy love has given, That each may be a wing To lift me nearer Heaven. I bring them, Saviour, all to thee; For thou hast purchased all for me. 6 My life I bring to thee, I would not be my own; O Saviour, let me be Thine ever, thine alone.
