is laid for your faith in God's excellent word!

to you that for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with thee; oh be not dismayed!
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand
upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
the rivers of woe shall not thee overflow,
for I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
my grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply:
the flames shall not hurt thee; I only design
thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.
5 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not– I will not– desert to his foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never– no, never– no, never forsake!" Used With Tune: ST. DENIO Text Sources: K in Rippon's Selection of Hymns 1787

Before the Cross
Author: James Allen Appears in 830 hymnals Topics: Christ Sufferings of; Christ Sufferings of First Line: Sweet the moments, rich in blessing 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.
Truly blessed is this station,
Low before his cross to lie,
While we see divine compassion,
Beaming in his gracious eye.
2 Love and grief our hearts dividing,
With our tears his feet we bathe;
Constant still, in faith abiding,
Life deriving from his death.
For thy sorrows we adore thee,
For the pains that wrought our peace,
Gracious Saviour! we implore thee
In our souls thy love increase.
3 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.
Still in ceaseless contemplation,
Fix our hearts and eyes on thee,
Till we taste thy full salvation,
And, unvailed, thy glories see. Used With Tune: ARMSTRONG

if he be my Guide?
"In his feet and hands are wound-prints,
and his side."

that his brow adorns?
"Yes, a crown, in very surety,
but of thorns."

what his promise 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, foll'wing, keeping, struggling,
is he sure to bless?
"Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs
answer yes."

for his bed a cattle stall;
oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the child is Lord of all.
Swiftly winging angels singing,
bells are ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the child is Lord of all!
Christ the child is Lord of all!
2 Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
vigil till the morning new
saw the glory, heard the story,
tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
praises voicing, greet the morrow:
Christ the child was born for you!
Christ the child was born for you!

Refresh my strength, for your own sake,

in days of weariness and ill,
in nights of pain and helplessness,
to heal, to comfort, and to bless.
3 O wide-embracing, wondrous love!
we read you in the sky above;
we read you in the earth below,
in seas that swell and streams that flow.
4 We read you in the flowers, the trees,
the freshness of the fragrant breeze,
the song of birds upon the wing,
the joy of summer and of spring.
5 We read you best in him who came
to bear for us the cross of shame,
sent by the Father from on high,
our life to live, our death to die.
6 We read your power to bless and save
e'en in the darkness of the grave;
still more in resurrection light
we read the fullness of your might.
7 O love of God, our shield and stay
through all the perils of our way;
eternal love, in you we rest,
forever safe, forever blest.

Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty Victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
Is His, is His by right,
The King of kings and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal light,
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below
To whom He manifests His love,
And grants His name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace; is given,
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above,
Their profit and their joy to know
The mystery of His love.
6 The cross to them is life and health,
Though shame and death to Him;
His people's hope, His people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme. Used With Tune: ST. PAUL
