With this child we now draw near In response to Your own saying That to You it shall be given As a child and heir of heaven. 2 Your command is clear and plain. And we would obey it duly: "You must all be born again, Heart and life renewing truly, Born of water and the Spirit, And My kingdom thus inherit." 3 This is why we come to You, In our arms this infant bearing; Lord, to us Your glory show; Let this child, Your mercy sharing, In Your arms be shielded ever, Yours on earth and Yours forever. 4 Gracious Lord, Your member own; Shepherd, take Your lamb and feed it; Prince of Peace, make here Your throne; Way of life, to heaven lead it; Precious vine, let nothing sever From Your side this branch forever.

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,306 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Savior, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart; Rise to all eternity. Scripture: Isaiah 25:4 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

God helps the stranger in distress, The widowed and the parentless, And grants the prisoner sweet release. 4 I’ll praise my Maker while I've breath; And when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler powers.
