The Perfect Pattern

Author: John Newton Appears in 250 hymnals Topics: Conformity First Line: Let worldly minds the world pursue Lyrics: 1 Let worldly minds the world pursue, It has no charms for me; Once I admired its trifles too, But grace has set me free. As by the light of opening day, The stars are all concealed; So earthly pleasures fade away, When Jesus is revealed. 2 Creatures no more divide my choice, I bid them all depart; His name, and love, and gracious voice. Have fixed my roving heart. But may I hope that thou wilt own A worthless worm like me? Now, Lord! I would be thine alone, And wholly live to thee. Scripture: Psalm 16:8 Used With Tune: VOC DILECTI

The name of Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield Appears in 604 hymnals Topics: Conformity First Line: There is a name I love to hear Lyrics: 1 There is a name I love to hear; I love to sing its worth; It sounds like music in mine ear-- The sweetest name on earth. 2 It tells me of a Saviour's love Who died to set me free; It tells me of his precious blood-- The sinner's perfect plea. 3 It tells me of a Father's smile Beaming upon his child; It cheers me through this "little while," Through desert, waste, and wild. 4 It tells of One whose loving heart Can feel my smallest woe-- Who in each sorrow bears a part That none can bear below. 5 It bids my trembling soul rejoice, And dries each rising tear; It tells me in a "still small voice," To trust, and not to fear. Scripture: John 11:35 Used With Tune: KILMARNOCK

"Friend of Sinners"

Author: John Newton Appears in 689 hymnals Topics: Conformity First Line: One there is above all others Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend; His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end: They who once his kindness prove Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But our Jesus died to have us Reconciled in him to God: This was boundless love indeed! Jesus is a friend in need. 3 When he lived on earth abased, "Friend of sinners" was his name; Now above all glories raised, He rejoices in the same; Still he calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 Could we bear from one another What he daily bears from us? Yet this glorious Friend and Brother Loves us though we treat him thus: Though for good we render ill, He accounts us brethren still. 5 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love; We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love thee as we ought. Scripture: Proverbs 18:24 Used With Tune: MURIEL

Healing the Sick

Author: Godfrey Thring Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Conformity First Line: Thou to whom the sick and dying Lyrics: 1 Thou to whom the sick and dying Ever came, nor came in vain, Still with healing word replying To the weary cry of pain; Hear us, Jesus, as we meet, Suppliants at thy mercy-seat. 2 Every care and every sorrow, Be it great, or be it small; Yesterday, to-day, to-morrow, When, where'er, it may befall; Lay we humbly at thy feet, Suppliants round thy mercy-seat. 3 Still the weary, sick, and dying Need a brother's sister's care; On thy higher help relying, May we now their burden share: Bringing all our offerings meet, Suppliants to thy mercy-seat. 4 May each child of thine be willing. Willing both in hand and heart, Every law of love fulfilling. Every comfort to impart: Ever bringing offerings meet, Suppliants at thy mercy-seat. 5 Then shall sickness, sin, and sadness To thy healing power yield; Till the sick and sad in gladness, Rescued, ransomed, cleansed, healed, Shall the saints together meet, Pardoned at thy judgment seat! Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22 Used With Tune: MURIEL
