How Loving Is Jesus!

Author: Randall H. Ballantyne Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 51 hymnals First Line: How loving is Jesus! who came from the sky Lyrics: 1 How loving is Jesus! who came from the sky, In tenderest pity for sinners to die; His hands and His feet they were nailed to the tree, And all this He suffered for you and for me. 2 How gladly does Jesus free pardon impart To all who receive Him by faith in their heart; No evil befalls them, their home is above, And Jesus throws round them the arms of His love. 3 How precious is Jesus to all who believe, And out of His fullness what grace they receive! When weak, He supports them; when erring, He guides; And every thing needful He kindly provides. 4 Oh, give then to Jesus your earliest days, They only are blessèd who walk in His ways; In life and in death He will still be your friend, For whom Jesus loves, He loves to the end.

A Father at the Helm.

Author: Joseph Morris Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Far, far on the ocean Lyrics: Far, far on the ocean one cold starless night, A small bark was sailing in pitiful plight: The boom of the billows, as on rushed the storm, O’ercame the stout hearts of the men with alarm. But one in that lone boat was fearless the while,— The captain’s bright boy:—looking round with a smile: “The storm threatens,” he said, “but still do not fear, We safely shall land, for my Father doth steer.” O why, child of heaven, is thy faithless breast, In viewing the tempest with terror oppressed? The dark depths are roaring, but yield not to fear, Thy vessel is safe, for thy Father doth steer. Soon, soon endless joy shall encompass thy brow, Thy friends on the shore are awaiting thee now: Unfurl every sail, see the bright morn appear, And Canaan is nigh, and thy Father doth steer. Unfurl every sail, for the favouring breeze Is urging thee on to the haven of peace: Thine anchor is safe—thou to Jesus art dear: Thou hast entered the port—and thy Father doth steer.

When saints gather round Thee, dear Savior, above, And hasten to crown Thee with jewels of love, Amid those bright mansions of glory so fair— Oh, grant, dearest Savior, that I may be there. 2. When those who have labored and struggled to save Their loved ones from sorrow beyond the dark grave, Are bringing the treasures they gathered with care— Oh, grant, dearest Savior, that I may be there. 3. When life’s dreary billows are spent on the shore Beyond the dark river, and time is no more, When bright palms of glory the victors shall bear— Oh, grant, dearest Savior, that I may be there. 4. And when in bright garments Thy children shall stand, A crown on each forehead, a harp in each hand, And sing of the joys Thou hast gone to prepare— Oh, grant, dearest Savior, that I may be there.

Christians, Carol Sweetly

Author: William Dix, 1837-1898 Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Christians, carol sweetly, up today and sing Lyrics: 1. Christians, carol sweetly, up today and sing! ’Tis the happy birthday of our holy King: Haste we then to greet Him, humbly falling down, While our hands entwine Him, dearest Babe, a crown. 2. Crowds of snow-white angels throng the golden stair; All things are delightful, all things passing fair; Bells, clear music making, peal the news to earth; Chimes within make answer, all is glee and mirth. 3. Michael, at the manger, bows his royal face; Gabriel, with lily, hides transcendent grace: For, dear friends, the glory of that lowly bed Overpowers the beauty on archangels shed. 4. Shall I tell of Joseph, who, with rapt surprise, Sees the light from Godhead fill those infant eyes? Shall I sing of Mary, who, upon her breast, Cradles her creator, soothes Him to His rest? 5. Angels, Mary, Joseph, yes, I greet you all! Falling down in worship at the manger stall! For you hail our monarch, born a child today; So with you I worship and my homage pay.
