There is a Friend, who sticketh fast
Author: Berridge Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 There is a Friend, who sticketh fast,
And keeps his love from first to last,
And Jesus is his name;
An earthly brother drops his hold,
Is sometimes hot and sometimes cold,
But Jesus is the same.
2 He loves his people, great and small,
And, grasping hard, embraces all,
Nor with a soul will part;
No tribulations which they feel,
No foes on earth, or fiends of hell,
Shall tear them from his heart.
3 His love before all time began,
And through all time it will remain,
And evermore endure;
Though rods and frowns are sometimes brought,
And man may change, he changes not;
His love abideth sure.
4 [A method strange this Friend has shown,
Of making love divinely known
To rebels doomed to die;
Unasked, he takes our humblest form,
And condescends to be a worm,
To lift us up on high.]
5 [The law demanded blood for blood,
And out he lets his vital flood
To pay the mortal debt;
He toils through life, and pants through death,
And cries, with his expiring breath,
“’Tis finished,” and complete!]
6 [Let all the ransomed of the Lord
Exalt his love with one accord,
And hallelujah sing;
Adore the dying Friend of man,
And bless him highly as you can;
He is your God and King.] Scripture: Proverbs 18:24
There is a Friend, who sticketh fast
Jesus, King of Zion
Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: Jesus, the Lord is King Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the Lord, is King,
And be his name adored;
Let Zion with sweet pleasure sing
The honours of her God.
2 His laws are just and mild,
All pregnant with delight;
The church at large, and every child,
Shall prove his burden light.
3 Let Christians all attend
To his commanding voice;
His mercies never have an end;
Then be his ways our choice.
4 On Zion’s hill he reigns,
And still displays his love;
Bids saints remember all his pains,
And lift their hearts above.
Jesus, King of Zion

Before the great Thy praise I sing:
I worship in Thy holy place
And praise Thee for Thy truth and grace;
For truth and grace together shine
In Thy most holy Word divine,
In Thy most holy Word divine.

Thy word of grace new courage gave;
The kings of earth shall thank Thee, Lord,
For they have heard Thy wondrous word;
Yea, they shall come with songs of praise,
For great and glorious are Thy ways,
For great and glorious are Thy ways.
3 O Lord, enthroned in glory bright,
Thou reignest in the heav'nly height;
The proud in vain Thy favor seek,
But Thou hast mercy for the meek;
Thro' trouble though my pathway be,
Thou wilt revive and strengthen me,
Thou wilt revive and strengthen me.
4 Thou wilt stretch forth Thy mighty arm
To save me when my foes alarm;
The work Thou hast for me begun
Shall by Thy grace be fully done;
Forever mercy dwells with Thee;
O Lord, my Maker, think on me,
O Lord, my Maker, think on me. Scripture: Psalm 138 Used With Tune: THE SOLID ROCK

Beams upon the path I tread;

Gathers round my weary head.

Cold and sullen o'er me roll;
Jesus only, when the trumpet
Rends the tomb and wakes the soul.
3 Jesus only, when, adoring,
Saints their crowns before him bring;
Jesus only, I will, joyous,
Through eternal ages sing. Scripture: Matthew 17:8 Used With Tune: BARTIMEUS

"The King in his beauty"
Author: James G. Deck Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Lord Jesus! when I think of thee Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus! when I think of thee,
Of all thy love and grace,
My spirit longs and fain would see
Thy beauty, face to face.
2 And though the wilderness I tread,
A barren, thirsty ground,
With thorns and briars overspread,
Where foes and snares abound;--
3 Yet in thy love such depths I see,
My soul o'erflows with praise--
Contents itself, while, Lord, to thee
A joyful song I raise.
4 My Lord, my Life, my Rest, my Shield,
My Rock, my Food, my Light;
Each thought of thee doth constant yield
Unchanging, fresh delight.
5 My Saviour, keep my spirit stayed,
Hard following after thee;
Till I, in robes of white arrayed,
Thy face in glory see. Scripture: Psalm 16:8 Used With Tune: HUMMEL

"I am the Way"
Author: Hart Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: "I am," saith Christ, "the Way" Lyrics: 1 “I am,” saith Christ, “the Way”;
Now, if we credit him,
All other paths must lead astray,
How fair soe’er they seem.
2 “I am,” says Christ, “the Truth”;
Then all that lacks this test,
Proceed it from an angel’s mouth,
Is but a lie at best.
3 “I am,” says Christ, “the Life”;
Let this be seen by faith,
It follows, without further strife,
That all besides is death.
4 If what those words aver,
The Holy Ghost apply,
The simplest Christian shall not err,
Nor be deceived, nor die.
"I am the Way"
Christ the Rock
Author: W. Gadsby Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: Jesus Christ, the sinner's Friend Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, the sinner’s Friend,
Loves his people to the end;
And that they may safe abide,
He’s the Rock in which they hide.
2 As a rock, he guards them well
From the rage of sin and hell.
Such a rock is Christ to me,
I am safe, though thousands flee!
3 Sheltered in his wounded side,
Now no ill can me betide;
From the tempest covered o’er;
One with him for evermore.
Christ the Rock
Christ's Compassion to the Weak
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 422 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: With joy we meditate the grace Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace
Of our High Priest above;
His heart is made of tenderness;
His bowels melt with love.
2 Touched with a sympathy within,
He knows our feeble frame;
He knows what sore temptations mean,
For he has felt the same.
3 But spotless, innocent, and pure,
The great Redeemer stood,
While Satan’s fiery darts he bore,
And did resist to blood.
4 He, in the days of feeble flesh,
Poured out his cries and tears;
And, in his measure, feels afresh
What every member bears.
5 [He’ll never quench the smoking flax,
But raise it to a flame;
The bruisèd reed he never breaks,
Nor scorns the meanest name.]
6 Then let our humble faith address
His mercy and his power;
We shall obtain delivering grace,
In the distressing hour.
Christ's Compassion to the Weak
"He is precious"
Author: O. Heginbotham Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Blest Jesus! when my soaring thoughts Lyrics: 1 Blest Jesus! when my soaring thoughts
O'er all thy graces rove,
How is my soul in transport lost,--
In wonder, joy and love!
2 Not softest strains can charm my ears,
Like thy beloved name;
Nor aught beneath the skies inspire
My heart with equal flame.
3 Where'er I look, my wondering eyes
Unnumbered blessings see;
But what is life, with all its bliss,
If once compared with thee?
4 Hast thou a rival in my breast?
Search, Lord, for thou canst tell
If aught can raise my passions thus,
Or please my soul so well.
5 No; thou art precious to my heart,
My portion and my joy:
For ever let thy boundless grace
My sweetest thoughts employ. Used With Tune: ARMENIA

Christ, our Model
Author: Edward Caswall Appears in 251 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: O Jesus! King most wonderful Lyrics: 1 O Jesus! King most wonderful,
Thou Conqueror renowned,
Thou sweetness most ineffable,
In whom all joys are found!
2 When once thou visitest the heart,
Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanities depart,
Then kindles love divine.
3 O Jesus, Light of all below!
Thou Fount of life and fire!
Surpassing all the joys we know,
All that we can desire,--
4 May every heart confess thy name,
And ever thee adore;
And, seeking thee, itself inflame
To seek thee more and more.
5 Thee may our tongues for ever bless,
Thee may we love alone;
And ever in our life express
The image of thine own.
Scripture: Romans 8:29 Used With Tune: EBEN
