I Lay My Sins on Jesus

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 560 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I lay my sins on Jesus, The spotless Lamb of God; He bears them all, and frees us From the accursed load. I bring my guilt to Jesus, To wash my crimson stains White in His blood most precious, Till not a spot remains. 2 I lay my wants on Jesus, All fullness dwells in Him; He heals all my diseases, He doth my soul redeem. I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy child. I long to be with Jesus, Amid the heavenly throng; To sing with saints His praises, To learn the angels' song. Amen.

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,226 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high! Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide: O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me! All my trust in Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring: Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee: Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Amen.

One There Is Above All Others

But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in Him to God: This was boundless love indeed; Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When He lived on earth abasèd, Friend of sinners was His Name: Now, above all glory raisèd, He rejoices in the same: Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love. We, alas, forget too often, What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought. Amen.

Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice

Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing, And, with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God hath done, How His right arm the vict'ry won; Right dearly it hath cost Him. 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay, Death brooded darkly o'er me, Sin was my torment night and day, In sin my mother bore me; Still deeper in despair I fell, Life had become a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 Then God beheld my wretched state With deep commiseration; He thought upon His mercy great, And willed my soul's salvation; He turned to me a Father's heart; Not small the cost! to heal my smart, He gave His best and dearest. 4 He spoke to His belovèd Son: "'Tis time to have compassion: Then go, bright Jewel of My crown, And bring to man salvation; From sin and sorrow set him free, Slay bitter death for him, that he May live with Thee forever." 5 The Son obeyed Him cheerfully, And born of virgin mother, Came down upon the earth to me, That He might be my brother: His mighty power doth work unseen, He came in fashion poor and mean, And took the devil captive. 6 We thank Thee, Lord, for boundless grace, And sing Thy praise forever, For granting us in dire distress Thine everlasting favor. Both death and hell were stricken down, When Thou didst for our sins atone, O Jesus, blessèd Saviour. Amen.
