Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Baptism of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Dearest Jesus, we are here, Gladly Thy command obeying; With this child we now draw near In accord with Thine own saying That of Thee it shall be given As a child and heir of heaven. 2 Yea, Thy word is clear and plain, And we would obey it duly: "He who is not born again, Heart and life renewing truly, Born of water and the Spirit, Can My kingdom not inherit." 3 Therefore hasten we to Thee, In our arms this infant bearing; Let us here Thy glory see, Let this child, Thy mercy sharing, In Thine arms be shielded ever, Thine on earth and Thine forever. 4 Wash it, Jesus, in Thy blood, From the sin-stain of its nature; Let it rise from out this flood Clothed in thee, a newborn creature; May it, washed as Thou hast bidden, In Thine innocence be hidden. 5 Turn its darkness into light, To Thy grace receive and save it; Heal the serpent's venomed bite In the font where now we lave it; Here let flow a Jordan river And from leprous sin deliver. 6 Gracious Head, Thy member own; Shepherd, take Thy lamb and feed it; Prince of Peace, make here Thy throne; Way of Life, to heaven lead it. Precious Vine, let nothing sever From Thy side this branch forever. 7 Now into Thy heart we pour Prayers that from our hearts proceeded. Our petitions heav'nward soar; May our warm desires be heeded! Write the name we now have given, Write it in the book of heaven. Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU, WIR SIND HIER

Beneath the cross of Jesus

Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 544 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Our High Priest Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land; A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way, From the burning of the noon-tide heat, And the burden of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus, Mine eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me. And from my smitten heart with tears, These wonders I confess,-- The wonders of His glorious love, And my own worthlessness. 3 I take, O cross, thy shadow For my abiding-place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of His face; Content to let the world go by, To know no gain or loss, My sinful self my only shame, My glory all the cross.

The arms of love that compass me Would all mankind embrace. 5 His only righteousness I show, His saving truth proclaim; 'Tis all my business here below To cry, "Behold the Lamb!" 6 Happy, if with my latest breath I may but gasp His name; Preach Him to all, and cry in death, "Behold, behold the Lamb!"
