Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me

Author: A. M. Toplady Appears in 2,973 hymnals Topics: Call and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the perfect cure, Cleanse me, Lord, and make me pure. 2 Not the labors of my hands Can fulfill Thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring; Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the Fountain fly: Wash me, Savior, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne; Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee!

O Jesus, Thou art Standing

Author: William W. How Appears in 676 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Call and Repentance Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Thou art standing Outside the fast-closed door, In lowly patience waiting To pass the threshold o'er: Shame on us, Christian brothers, His name and sign we bear; O shame, thrice shame upon us, To keep Him standing there! 2 O Jesus, Thou art knocking; And lo, that hand is scarred, And thorns thy brow encircle, And tears Thy face have marred; O love that passeth knowledge, So patiently to wait! O sin that hath no equal, So fast to bar the gate! 3 O Jesus, Thou art pleading In accents meek and low, "I died for you, My children, And will ye treat Me so?" O Lord, with shame and sorrow We open now the door; Dear Savior, enter, enter, And leave us never more. Used With Tune: ST. HILDA

Author: J. M. Neale Appears in 653 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Call and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distrest? “Come to Me,” saith One, “and, coming, Be at rest.” 2 Hath He marks to lead me to Him, If He be my guide? “In His feet and hands are wound-prints, And His side.” 3 Is there diadem, as monarch, That His brow adorns? “Yea, a crown, in very surety, But of thorns.” 4 If I find Him, if I follow, What His guerdon here? “Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear.” 5 If I still hold closely to Him, What has He at last? “Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed.” 6 If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay? “Not till earth and not till heaven Pass away.” 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is He sure to bless? “Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, Yes.” Used With Tune: BULLINGER

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Appears in 544 hymnals Topics: Call and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land; A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way, From the burning of the noontide heat, And the burden of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus, Mine eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me. And from my smitten heart with tears, These wonders I confess, - The wonder of His glorious love, And my own worthlessness. 3 I take, O cross, thy shadow For my abiding-place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of His face; Content to let the world go by, To know no gain or loss, My sinful self my only shame, My glory all the cross.
