O Thou, From Whom All Goodness Flows

Author: Thomas Haweis Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 418 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou, from whom all goodness flows, I lift my heart to Thee; In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, Good Lord, remember me! 2 When on my aching, burdened heart My sins lie heavily, Thy pardon speak, new peace impart; Good Lord, remember me! 3 When trials sore obstruct my way And ills I cannot flee; O let my strength be as my day; Good Lord, remember me! 4 When in the solemn hour of death I wait Thy just decree; Be this the prayer of my last breath: Good Lord, remember me! 5 And when before Thy throne I stand And lift my soul to Thee, Then, with the saints at Thy right hand, Good Lord, remember me!

The Day Is Surely Drawing Near

Author: Bartholomaeus Ringwalt Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near When Christ, the Lord's Anointed, In might and glory shall appear, As Judge of all appointed. The time of mirth shall then expire, When all shall be consumed by fire, As Holy Scripture tells us. 2 The trump of God shall then resound, And all the earth be shaken; The dead who in thegraves are found Shall then to life awaken, And all who faithful here abide Shall be transformed and glorified By Christ's almighty working. 3 The Judge shall then a scroll unfold, His records truly telling What all have done, both young and old, While in the body dwelling. All secrets then shall be disclosed And ev'ry hidden thought exposed That was conceived in darkness. 4 Then woe to all who scorned the Lord And sought but carnal pleasures, Who loathed to hear His holy Word, Enthralled by earthly treasures. They shall not in the judgment stand, But at the righteous King's command With Satan have their portion. 5 Lord Jesus, Victor in the strife, For my transgressions smitten, O grant that in the book of life My name be also written. Nor will I doubt that I am free From Satan's rule, O Lord, thro' Thee, The Source of our salvation. Topics: The Christian Life Judgment Used With Tune: MONMOUTH Text Sources: Tr. Composite

What A Friend We Have In Jesus

Author: Joseph Scriven Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,710 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Ev'rything to God in prayer. 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged: Take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness-- Take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our Refuge,-- Take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there. Amen. Topics: Prayer Used With Tune: ERIE

Hallelujah! 2 O stronger Thou than death and hell, Where is the foe Thou canst not quell, What heavy stone Thou canst not roll From off the prisoned, suff'ring soul? Hallelujah! 3 If Jesus lives, can I be sad? I know He loves me and am glad: Tho' all the world were dead to me, Enough, O Christ, if I have Thee. Hallelujah! 4 He feeds me, comforts and defends, And when I die, His angel sends To bear me whither He is gone; For of His own He loseth none. Hallelujah! 5 No more to fear or grief I bow, God and the angels love me now; The joys prepared for me today Drive fear and mourning far away. Hallelujah! 6 Strong Champion! For this comfort, see, The whole world bringeth thanks to Thee! And once we too shall raise above More sweet and loud the song we love: Hallelujah!

Jerusalem The Golden

Author: Bernard of Morlaix; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 914 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest: I know not, O I know not, What joys await us there, What radiancy of glory, What light beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many angel, And all the martyr throng: The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked with glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David, And there, from care released, The shout of them that triumph, The song of them that feast; And they who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 4 Exult, O dust and ashes! The Lord shall be thy part: His only, His forever, Thou shalt be and thou art! Jesus, in mercy bring us Soon to that land of rest: Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest! 5 Jerusalem the golden, Shall I e'er see thy face? O sweet and pleasant city, Shall I e'er win thy grace? I have the hope within me To comfort and to bless; Shall I e'er win the glory? O my Redeemer, yes! Amen.
