Jesus, Blessèd Lord and Savior

Author: G. de Mattos Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, blessèd Lord and Savior, Bowed in death on Calv’ry’s tree, Darkest hour of bitter judgment, Borne to set Thy people free; Sweet our portion, sweet our portion, As we thus remember Thee. 2. From the highest heights of glory, To the cross of deepest shame, Thus accomplishing redemption, Jesus in His pity came; Precious Savior, precious Savior, We adore Thy matchless name. 3. From the darkness and the distance, From the crushing load of sin, Blessèd Savior, Thou hast freed us, By Thy blood hast made us clean; In Thy beauty, in Thy beauty, Now Thy ransomed ones are seen. 4. Thus assured of Thine acceptance We to God may now draw near; In the holiest may worship; Perfect love hath cast out fear; To the Father, to the Father, We in Christ are near and dear.

In the East Is Morning Breaking

Author: Mary E. Maxwell Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In the East is morning breaking, Faintly glimmering from afar; Gladdening eyes that wait the rising Of the Bright and Morning Star; Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus, Wilt Thou soon to us appear? 2. Oh! we praise Thee for Thy coming Once in lowliness and pain To redeem from sin’s pollution, Freeing us from Satan’s chain; But how gladly! But how gladly! We will see Thee come again. 3. By Thy Holy Spirit’s teaching, Calvary’s healing streams we know; Blood to pardon—purifying Sin-stained hearts made white as snow; But Thy fullness! But Thy fullness, Thou wilt in Thy glory show. 4. Thou art coming, blessèd Master; Days and moments speed apace, Soon will cease earth’s day of service, Soon we’ll see Thee face to face; Are we ready, are we ready For that day of crowning grace? 5. Vainly human thought can picture What that day to us will be; Who have welcomed full salvation, Let Thee cleanse and sanctify; Then Thy beauty, then Thy beauty Will each longing satisfy.

Touch we now your garment's hem. 2 As disciples used to gather in the name of Christ to sup, then with thanks to God the Father break the bread and bless the cup, alleluia, alleluia! So now bind our friendship up. 3 All our meals and all our living make as sacraments of you, that by caring, helping, giving, we may be disciples true. Alleluia, alleluia! we will serve with faith anew. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Communion Used With Tune: UNION SEMINARY

In Silence My Soul Is Waiting

Author: Michael Saward, 1932- Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 In silence my soul is waiting, is waiting for God alone; deliv'rance from him is coming, my rescuer, fort, and rock. In silence my soul is waiting; secure, I shall not be moved. 2 You set on a man and you beat him, the pack of you knock him down; as a tottering wall he staggers, sub-sides like a sagging fence. In silence my soul is waiting; secure, I shall not be moved. 3 You plot for his undermining, you slander him with your lies; you love, with faint praise, to damn him; sweet tongued, you've a curse-filled heart. In silence my soul is waiting; secure, I shall not be moved. 4 Be silent, my soul, in waiting, in waiting for God alone; assurance from him is coming, my rescuer, fort, and rock. Be silent, my soul in waiting; secure, I shall not be moved. 5 There's safety in God, and honor, my refuge, my rock, my strength, so hide in our God, you people, and pour out your hearts to him. Be silent, my soul in waiting; secure, I shall not be moved. 6 Just puffs of the wind, the people, great men are illusions, all; as breath in the air, they're measured, then weightless they fade away. Be silent, my soul in waiting; secure, I shall not be moved. 7 Don't trust, then, in cruel extortion, don't plunder, defraud, and steal; don't set your heart on possessions, especially if they increase. Be silent, my soul in waiting; secure, I shall not be moved. 8 Uniquely, our God has spoken, of two things I've heard him speak; he's the source of pow'r and mercy; to men he repays their deeds. Be silent, my soul in waiting; secure, I shall not be moved. Topics: Deliverance; Waiting upon God ; The Christian Life Trust in God Scripture: Psalm 62 Used With Tune: SILENCE

Come to Calvary's Holy Mountain

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 204 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come to Calvary's holy mountain sinners ruined by the fall; Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all, In a full perpetual tide, Opened when our Savior died. 2 Come, in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent, and blind; Here the guilty, free remission, Here the lost a refuge find. Health this fountain will restore; He that drinks shall thirst no more. 3 Come, ye dying, live forever, 'Tis a soul-reviving flood; God is faithful; He will never Break this covenant sealed in blood; Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when He was glorified.
