"We would see Jesus"

Author: Anon. Appears in 282 hymnals Topics: Christian Experience; Christ Character of; Christians Love for Christ; Love For the Saviour; Christ Character of; Christians Love for Christ; Love For the Saviour First Line: We would see Jesus for the shadows lengthen Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness the final strife. 2 We would see Jesus the great Rock Foundation, Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace; Not life, nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, if we see his face. 3 We would see Jesus other lights are paling. Which for long years we have rejoiced to see; The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing, We would not mourn them, for we go to thee. 4 We would see Jesus this is all we're needing, Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading, Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night!

Th' uplifted eye, and bended knee

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Th' uplifted eye and bended knee, Are but vain homage, Lord! to thee In vain our lips thy praise prolong, The heart a stranger to the song. 2 Can rites, and forms, and flaming zeal, The breaches of thy precepts heal? Or fasts and penance reconcile Thy justice, and obtain thy smile? 3 The pure, the humble, contrite mind, Sincere, and to thy will resign'd, To thee a nobler off'ring yields Than Sheba’s groves, or Sharon’s fields. 4 Love God and man:—this great command Doth on eternal pillars stand. This did Thine ancient prophets teach, This did the great Messiah preach.

Ye servants of the Lord

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 459 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of the Lord, Each in his office wait, Observant of his heav'nly word, And watchful at his gate. 2 Let all your lamps be bright, And trim the golden flame, Gird up your loins, as in his sight, For awful is his name. 3 Watch! 'tis your Lord's command; And while we speak, he's near; Mark the first signal of his hand, And ready all appear. 4 O happy servant he, In such a posture found! He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honour crown'd. 5 Christ shall the banquet spread With his own bounteous hand, And raise that favorite servant's head Amidst th' angelic band.
