I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew

Author: Anonymous Meter: 10.10.10.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Sacraments and Ordinances Profession of Faith Lyrics: 1 I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew he moved my soul to seek him, seeking me. It was not I that found, O Saviour true; no, I was found of thee. 2 Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold; I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea. ‘Twas not so much that I on thee took hold, as thou, dear Lord, on me. 3 I find, I walk, I love, but oh, the whole of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee! For thou wert long beforehand with my soul; always thou lovedst me. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 28:9 Used With Tune: PEACE

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,310 hymnals Topics: Profession of Faith Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought and hoped and known; Yet how rich is my condition: God and heaven are still my 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 man, untrue; And, while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends may shun me; Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 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. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 4 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 shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Used With Tune: GREENVILLE

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. Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET

Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Profession of Faith Lyrics: 1 'Tis not that I did choose Thee, For, Lord, that could not be; This heart would still refuse Thee, Hadst Thou not chosen me.

My heart owns none before Thee, For Thy rich grace I thirst; This knowing, if I love Thee, Thou must have loved me first. Used With Tune: SAVOY CHAPEL
