Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,325 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, I my cross have taken, all to leave and follow Thee. Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shall be. Perish every fond ambition, all I’ve sought or hoped or known. Yet how rich is my condition! God and Heaven are still mine own. 2. Let the world despise and leave me, they have left my Savior, too. Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue. And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might, Foes may hate and friends disown me, show Thy face and all is bright. 3. Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come, disaster, scorn and pain! In Thy service, pain is pleasure; with Thy favor, loss is gain. I have called Thee, Abba, Father; I have set my heart on Thee: Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, all must work for good to me. 4. Man may trouble and distress me, ’twill but drive me to Thy breast. Life with trials hard may press me; heaven will bring me sweeter rest. Oh, ’tis not in grief to harm me while Thy love is left to me; Oh, ’twere not in joy to charm me, were that joy unmixed with Thee. 5. Take, my soul, thy full salvation; rise o’er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station something still to do or bear: Think what Spirit dwells within thee; what a Father’s smile is thine; What a Savior died to win thee, child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 6. Haste then on from grace to glory, armed by faith, and winged by prayer, Heaven’s eternal day’s before thee, God’s own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,303 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. Wilt Thou not regard my call? Wilt Thou not accept my prayer? Lo! I sink, I faint, I fall— Lo! on Thee I cast my care; Reach me out Thy gracious hand! While I of Thy strength receive, Hoping against hope I stand, dying, and behold, I live. 4. 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. 5. 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. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH (Parry) Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1740

Jesus, My All, to Heaven Is Gone

Author: John Cennick Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 787 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, my all, to Heaven is gone, He whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I’ll pursue The narrow way, till Him I view. The way the holy prophets went, The road that leads from banishment, The King’s highway of holiness, I’ll go, for all His paths are peace. 2. This is the way I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not; My grief a burden long has been, Because I was not saved from sin. The more I strove against its power, I felt its weight and guilt the more; Till late I heard my Savior say, Come hither, soul, I am the way. 3. Lo! Glad I come; and Thou, blest Lamb, Shalt take me to Thee, as I am; Nothing but sin have I to give; Nothing but love shall I receive. Then will I tell to sinners round, What a dear Savior I have found; I’ll point to Thy redeeming blood, And say, Behold the way to God. The original has 4-line stanzas; here are the third through fifth: 3. No stranger may proceed therein, No lover of the world and sin; No lion, no devouring care, No ravenous tiger shall be there. 4. No nothing may go up thereon But traveling souls, and I am one: Wayfaring men to Canaan bound, Shall only in the Way be found. 5. Nor fools, by carnal men esteemed, Shall err therein; but they redeemed In Jesus’ blood, shall show their right To travel there, till Heaven’s in sight.

Jesus, too late I Thee have sought; How can I love Thee as I ought? And how extol Thy matchless fame, The glorious beauty of Thy name? Jesus, my Lord, I Thee adore; O make me love Thee more and more. 3. Jesus, what didst Thou find in me That Thou hast dealt so lovingly? How great the joy that Thou hast brought, So far exceeding hope or thought! Jesus, my Lord, I Thee adore; O make me love Thee more and more. 4. Jesus, of Thee shall be my song; To Thee my heart and soul belong; All that I have or am is Thine; And Thou, blest Savior, Thou art mine; Jesus, my Lord, I Thee adore; O make me love Thee more and more.

Jesus! the name to sinners dear, The name to sinners giv’n; It scatters all their guilty fear, It turns their hell to Heav’n. 3.

The arms of love that compass me Would all the world embrace. 5. O that my Jesu’s heavenly charms Might every bosom move! Fly, sinners, fly into those arms Of everlasting love. 6.

Happy, if with my latest breath I may but gasp His name, Preach Him to all and cry in death, Behold, behold the Lamb! Used With Tune: GRÄFENBERG Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749

Join All the Glorious Names

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 339 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Join all the glorious names Of wisdom, love, and power, That ever mortals knew, That angels ever bore: All are too mean to speak His worth, To poor to set my Savior forth. 2. But O what gentle terms, What condescending ways, Doth our Redeemer use To teach his heav’nly grace! Mine eyes with joy and wonder see What forms of love He bears for me. 3. Arrayed in mortal flesh, He like an angel stands, And holds the promises And pardons in His hands; Commissioned from His Father’s throne To make His grace to mortals known. 4. Great prophet of my God, My tongue would bless Thy name, By Thee the joyful news Of our salvation came, The joyful news of sin forgiv’n Of hell subdued, and peace with Heav’n. 5. Be Thou my counselor, My pattern, and my guide, And through this desert land Still keep me near thy side: Nor let my feet e’er run astray Nor rove nor seek the crooked way. 6. I love my Shepherd’s voice, His watchful eyes shall keep My wand’ring soul among The thousands of His sheep: He feeds His flock, He calls their names, His bosom bears the tender lambs. 7. To this dear surety’s hand Will I commit my cause; He answers and fulfils His Father’s broken laws: Behold my soul at freedom set! My surety paid the dreadful debt. 8. Jesus, my great high priest, Offered His blood, and died; My guilty conscience seeks No sacrifice beside: His powerful blood did once atone, And now it pleads before the throne. 9. My advocate appears For my defense on high; The Father bows His ears, And lays His thunder by: Not all that hell or sin can say Shall turn His heart, His love away. 10. My dear almighty Lord, My conqueror and my King, Thy scepter and Thy sword, Thy reigning grace I sing: Thine is the power; behold I sit In willing bonds beneath Thy feet. 11. Now let my soul arise, And tread the tempter down; My captain leads me forth To conquest and a crown: A feeble saint shall win the day, Though death and hell obstruct the way. 12. Should all the hosts of death, And powers of hell unknown, Put their most dreadful forms Of rage and mischief on, I shall be safe, for Christ displays Superior power, and guardian grace.

Jesus of Nazareth Passeth By

Author: Emma Campbell Appears in 194 hymnals First Line: What means this eager, anxious throng Lyrics: 1.

In accents hushed the throng reply, Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. In accents hushed the throng reply, Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 2. Who is this Jesus? why should He The city move so mightily? A passing stranger, has He skill To move the multitude at will? Again the stirring tones reply, Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. Again the stirring tones reply, Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 3. Jesus! ’tis He who once below Man’s pathway trod, ’mid pain and woe; And burdened ones, where’er He came, Brought out their sick, and deaf and lame; The blind rejoiced to hear the cry, Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. The blind rejoiced to hear the cry, Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 4. Again He comes! From place to place His holy footprints we can trace; He pauseth at our threshold—nay, He enters—condescends to stay: Shall we not gladly raise the cry? Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. Shall we not gladly raise the cry? Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 5. Ho! all ye heavy laden, come! Here’s pardon, comfort, rest and home: Ye wand’rers from a Father’s face, Return, accept His proffered grace; Ye tempted ones, there’s refuge nigh: Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. Ye tempted ones, there’s refuge nigh: Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 6. But if you still His call refuse, And all His wondrous love abuse, Soon will He sadly from you turn, Your bitter prayer for pardon spurn, Too late! too late! will be the cry— Jesus of Nazareth has passed by. Too late! too late! will be the cry— Jesus of Nazareth has passed by. Used With Tune: [What means this eager, anxious throng]
