I've Found That Jesus Cares

Author: Maud Frazer Jackson Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Christ Love of Christ First Line: I once was sad and lonely Refrain First Line: Whate'er may go, this do I know Lyrics: 1 I once was sad and lonely, No hope my heart could see; I thought that I was friendless, That no one cared for me; But clouds away were driven, No more my heart despairs, For I, His cross beholding, Have found that Jesus cares. Refrain: Whate'er may go, this do I know, My Lord abides for aye; He care for me, He ears for me The burdens of the day. 2 Before me still are trials, Yet I need have not fear, I thought that I was friendless, That no one cared for me; With joy my heart is singing, As on my way I fare, To know I'm not forgotten, To know my Lord doth care. [Refrain] 3 It matters not how dreary May be the path you tread, This Friend can take your sorrow And give you joy instead. Oh, bring your sins to Jesus, Your burdens and your cars, And learn how great His kindness, How much the Saviour cares. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [I once was sad and lonely]

Loves thou me?

Author: Newton Appears in 279 hymnals Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Love of Christ First Line: 'Tis a point I long to know Lyrics: 1 'Tis a point I long to know, Oft it causes anxious thought; Do I love the Lord, or no? Am I his, or am I not? 2 If I love, why am I thus? Why this dull and lifeless frame? Hardly, sure, can they be worse, Who have never heard his name. 3 [Could my heart so hard remain, Prayer a task and burden prove; Every trifle give me pain, If I knew a savior's love? 4 When I turn my eyes within, All is dark, and vain, and wild; Fill'd with unbelief and sin, Can I deem myself a child?] 5 If I pray, or hear, or read, Sin is mix'd with all I do; You who love the Lord indeed, Tell me is it thus with you? 6 Yet I mourn my stubborn will, Find my sin a grief and thrall; Should I grieve at what I feel, If I did not love at all? 7 [Could I joy his saints to meet, Choose the ways I once abhor'd; Find, at times, the promise sweet If I did not love the Lord?] 8 Lord, decide the doubtful case! Thou, who art the people's sun; Since upon thy work of grace, If it be indeed begun. 9 Let me love thee more and more, If I love at all, I pray; If I have not lov'd before, Help me to begin to-day. Scripture: John 21:16
