Jesus, Jesus, only Jesus

Author: A. Crull; Ludaemilie Elizabeth of Schwertzburg-Rudelstadt Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Following Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Jesus, only Jesus, Can my heartfelt longing still; See, I pledge myself to Jesus, What He wills, alone to will. For my heart, which He hath filled, Ever cries: Lord, as Thou wilt. 2 One there is for whom I'm living, Whom I love most tenderly; Jesus, unto whom I'm giving, What in love He gave to me. Jesus' blood hides all my guilt; Lead me, Lord, then, as Thou wilt. 3 Seems a thing to me a treasure, Which displeasing is to Thee, Then remove such dang'rous pleasure; Give instead what profits me. Let my heart by Thee be stilled, Make me Thine, Lord, as Thou wilt. 4 Grant that I may e'er endeavor Thy good pleasure to fulfill, In me, through me, with me ever, Lord, accomplish Thou Thy will. Let me die, Lord, on Thee built, When, and where, and as Thou wilt. 5 Lord, my praise shall be unceasing, For Thou gav'st Thyself to me, And besides so many a blessing That I now sing joyfully: Be it unto me, my shield, As Thou wilt, Lord, as Thou wilt.

Behold, where in a mortal form

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 210 hymnals Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 Behold, where in a mortal form Appears each grace divine; The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine. 2 To spread the rays of heavenly light, To give the mourner joy; To preach glad tidings to the poor, Was His divine employ. 3 'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn, Patient and meek He stood; His foes, ungrateful, sought His life; He labor'd for their good. 4 To God He left His righteous cause, And still His task pursued; While humble prayer and holy faith His fainting strength renew'd. 5 In the last hours of deep distress, Before His Father's throne, With soul resign'd He bow'd, and said, "Thy will, not mine, be done." 6 Be Christ our pattern and our guide, His image may we bear! Oh, may we tread His holy steps, His joy and glory share!

A pilgrim through this lonely world

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim through this lonely world The blessed Saviour passed; A mourner all His life was He, A dying Lamb at last! 2 That tender heart, which felt for all, For all its life-blood gave; It found on earth no resting-place Save only in the grave! 3 Such was our Lord; and shall we fear The cross with all its scorn? Or love a faithless, evil world, That wreath'd His brow with thorn? 4 No: facing all its frowns or smiles, Like Him, obedient still, We homeward press, through storm or calm To Zion’s blessèd hill. 5 Dead to the world, with Him who died to win our hearts, our love, We, risen with our risen Head, In spirit dwell above.

Our country is Immanuel's ground

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 Our country is Immanuel’s ground, We seek that promised soil; The songs of Zion cheer our hearts, While strangers here we toil. 2 Oft do our eyes with joy o’erflow, And oft are bathed in tears; Yet nought but heaven our hopes can raise, And nought but sin our fears. 3 We tread the path our Master trod; We bear the cross He bore; And ev'ry thorn that wounds our feet His temples pierced before. 4 Our powers are oft dissolved away In ecstasies of love; And while our bodies wander here Our souls are fix'd above.
