Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-75 Appears in 148 hymnals Topics: Comfort Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, bow down before him, his glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name. 2 Low at his feet lay your burden of carefulness, high on his heart he will bear it for you, comfort your sorrows, and answer your prayerfulness, guiding your steps in the way best for you. 3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness of the poor wealth you would reckon to own: truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness, these are the offerings to bring to his throne. 4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness, he will accept for the name that is dear, mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness, trust for our trembling and hope for our fear. 5 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, bow down before him, his glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness, bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me

Appears in 353 hymnals Topics: Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; Unite my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there. Thine wholly, Thine alone I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2 Oh, grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but Thy pure love alone! Oh, may Thy love possess me whole, And be my treasure, and my crown! Strange flames far from my heart remove; May every act, word, thought, be love! 3 O Love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies: Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek but Thee! 4 O draw me, Saviour, after Thee! So shall I run and never tire. With gracious words still comfort me; Be Thou my hope, my sole desire. Free me from every weight: not fear No sin can come, if Thou art here. 5 From all eternity, with love Unchangeable Thou hast me viewed; Ere knew this beating heart to move, Thy tender mercies me pursued. Ever with me may they abide, And close me in on every side. 6 Still let Thy love point out my way; What wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my word, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 7 In suffering, be Thy love my peace; In weakness, be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that dark final hour Of death, be Thou my guide and friend, That I may love Thee without end.

Jesus Christ, My Sure Defense

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78 Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure defense And my Savior, now is living! Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope here given Though the night of death be caught Still in many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my redeemer, lives; Likewise I to life shall waken. He will bring me where he is; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear, or could the head Rise and leave his members dead? 3 No, I am too closely bound By my hope to Christ forever; Faith's strong hand the rock has found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Even death now cannot part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 I am flesh and must return To the dust, whence I am taken; But by faith I now discern That from death I will awaken With my Savior to abide In his glory, at his side. 5 Then these eyes my Lord will know, My redeemer and my brother; In his love my soul will glow-- I myself and not another! Then the weakness I feel here Will forever disappear. 6 Then take comfort and rejoice, For his members Christ will cherish. Fear not, they will hear his voice; Dying, they will never perish; For the very grave is stirred When the trumpet's blast is heard. 7 Oh, then, draw away your hearts From all pleasures base and hollow. Strive to share what he imparts While you here his footsteps follow. As you now still wait to rise, Fix your hearts beyond the skies. Used With Tune: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT Text Sources: Berlin, 1653
