Thine wholly, Thine alone, I am, Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2 O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but Thy pure love alone: O may Thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown: Strange flames far from my heart remove; My 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 Unwearied may I this pursue, Dauntless to the high prize aspire; Hourly within my soul renew This holy flame, this heavenly fire; And day and night be all my care To guard the sacred treasure there.

Toplady; Thomas Cotterill Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,907 hymnals Topics: Christian Life Faith in Christ 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 double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r. 2 Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears for ever 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, Saviour, 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. Amen. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:4 Used With Tune: TOPLADY

Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days! 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star; He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon: 'Tis midnight with my soul, till He, Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee. 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. 5 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may, When I've no guilt to wash away, No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. 6 Till then--nor is my boasting vain-- Till then I boast a Saviour slain! And O, may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me! Used With Tune: BLENDON
