Jesus, and can it ever be

Author: Gregg Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,274 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and can it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of thee! Blush at the thought, ye rich and poor; Bow at his footstool and adore! 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far May evening blush to own a star: Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon May midnight be ashamed of noon. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may, When I've no crimes to wash away; No tears to wipe, no joys to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save! 4 Ashamed of Jesus, that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend! No: when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere his name. Topics: The Christian Life Consecration and Activity; Not Ashamed of Jesus

Sweet the moments, rich in blessing

Author: Shirley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 823 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross we spend; Life and health and peace possessing, From the sinner's dying Friend. 2 Truly blessed is this station, Low before his cross to lie, While we see divine compassion Beaming in his gracious eye. 3 Love and grief our hearts dividing, With our tears his feet we bathe; Constant still, in faith abiding, Life deriving from his death. 4 For thy sorrows we adore thee, For the pains that wrought our peace; Gracious Saviour, we implore thee In our souls thy love increase. 5 Here we feel our sins forgiven, While upon the Lamb we gaze; And our thoughts are all of heaven, And our lips o'erflow with praise. 6 Still in ceaseless contemplation, Fix our hearts and eyes on thee, Till we taste thy full salvation, And, unvailed, thy glories see.

I see thy cross -- there teach my heart to cling: oh, let me seek thee, and oh, let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh: teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh: teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame -- the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.
