O precious is the flow
Christ, of All My Hopes the Ground
Author: Ralph Wardlaw Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 176 hymnals Topics: Faith In Christ Lyrics: 1 Christ, of all my hopes the ground,
Christ, the spring of all my joy,
still in you may I be found,
still for you my pow'rs employ,
still for you my pow'rs employ.
2 Let your love my heart inflame;
keep your fear before my sight;
be your praise my highest aim;
be your smile my chief delight,
be your smile my chief delight.
3 Fountain of o'erflowing grace,
freely from your fullness give;
till I close my earthly race,
may I prove it "Christ to live,"
may I prove it "Christ to live."
4 Firmly trusting in your blood,
nothing shall my heart confound;
safely I shall pass the flood,
safely reach Immanuel's ground,
safely reach Immanuel's ground.
5 Thus, O thus, an entrance give
to the land of cloudless sky;
having known it "Christ to live,"
let me know it "gain to die,"
let me know it "gain to die."
Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Used With Tune: HENDON Text Sources: Mod.
Christ, of All My Hopes the Ground
Weary of earth, and laden with my sin
Author: Samuel John Stone, 1839 - 1900 Appears in 223 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin,
I look at heaven and long to enter in;
But there no evil thing may find a home,
And yet I hear a voice that bids me 'Come.'
2 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way
Evil is ever with me day by day;
Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall,
'Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all.'
3 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear
The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer,
That in the Father's courts my glorious dress
May be the garment of thy righteousness.
4 Yea, thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord;
Thine all the merits, mine the great reward;
Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown;
Mine the life won, through thine the life laid down. Used With Tune: LANGRAN

You plead with all to call on you;
To those who seek you, you are good;
To those who find you, life is new.

And long to feast upon you still;
We drink of you, the fountain-head;
Our thirsting souls from you we fill.
4 For you our restless spirits yearn,
Where'er our changing lot is cast;
Glad, when your smile on us you turn,
Blest, when by faith we hold you fast.
5 O Jesus, ever with us stay!
Make all our moments fair and bright!
Oh, chase the night of sin away!
Shed o'er the world your holy light. Used With Tune: WALTON

My beauty are, my glorious dress;
Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.

For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully through thee absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3 Lord, I believe thy precious Blood,
Which at the mercy-seat of God
Forever doth for sinners plead,
For me, e'en for my soul, was shed.
4 When from the dust of death I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies,
E'en then shall be all my plea,
'Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.'

Sometimes a light surprises
Author: William Cowper, 1731 - 1800 Appears in 411 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord who rises
With healing in his wings;
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God’s salvation,
And find it ever new;
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
Let the unknown tomorrow
Bring with it what it may.
3 It can bring with it nothing
But he will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing
Will clothe his people, too:
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed,
And he who feeds the ravens
Will give his children bread.
4 Though vine nor fig tree neither
Their wonted fruit should bear,
Though all the fields should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there;
Yet God, the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice;
For, while in him confiding
I cannot but rejoice. Used With Tune: CRUGER

And purge away my sin;
From earth-born passions set me free
And make me pure within.
2 Lord Jesus, think on me,
With care and woe opprest;
Let me thy loving servant be
And taste thy promised rest.
3 Lord Jesus, think on me
Amid the battle's strife;
In all my pain and misery
Be thou my health and life.
4 Lord Jesus, think on me,
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point out the heavenly way.
5 Lord Jesus, think on me
That, when the flood is past,
I may the eternal brightness see,
And share thy joy at last.
6 Lord Jesus, think on me,
That I may sing above
To Father, Spirit, and to thee,
The strains of praise and love.
Amen.
