My God, I love Thee; not because

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 208 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby; Nor yet because if I love not I must forever die. 2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me Upon the cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace. 3 And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony; E’en death itself--and all for one Who was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blesséd Jesus Christ! Should I not love Thee well? Not for the sake of winning heaven, Nor of escaping hell. 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught; Nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast lovéd me, O ever-lasting Lord! 6 E’en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing; Solely because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.

There, from the rivers of His grace, Drink endless pleasures in. 6 Then let our songs abound, And ev'ry tear be dry; We're marching through Immanuel's ground, To fairer worlds on high.

Jesus, cast a look on me!

Thy Word hath said, Could we but read aright-- Poor pilgrim, lift in hope thy head; At eve there shall be light! 3 Only believe, in living faith, His love and power divine; And ere thy sun shall set in death, His light shall round thee shine. 4 When tempest-clouds are dark on high, His bow of love and peace Shines sweetly in the vaulted sky,-- A pledge that storms shall cease. 5 Hold on thy way, with hope unchill'd, By faith and not by sight, And thou shalt own His Word fulfill'd,-- At eve it shall be light.

"We've no abiding city here"

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 182 hymnals Lyrics: 1 "We've no abiding city here," This may distress the worldly mind; But should not cost a saint a tear, Who hopes a better rest to find. 2 "We've no abiding city here," Sad truth, were this to be our home; But let this thought our spirits cheer, "We seek a city yet to come." 3 "We've no abiding city here," Then let us live as pilgrims do: Let not the world our rest appear; But let us haste from all below. 4 "We've no abiding city here," We seek a city out of sight: Zion it's name,--the Lord is there, It shines with everlasting light. 5 O sweet abode of peace and love, Where pilgrims freed from toil are blest; Had I the pinions of the dove, I'd flee to thee, and be at rest. 6 But hush, my soul! nor dare repine; The time my God appoints is best: While here, to do His will be mine, And His to fix my time of rest.

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,347 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. 2 Oh, the transporting, rapt'rous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields array'd in living green, And rivers of delight. 3 There generous fruits, that never fail, On trees immortal grow; There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales With milk and honey flow. 4 All o'er those wide-extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Son forever reigns, And scatters night away. 5 No chilling winds or pois'nous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and fear'd no more. 6 When I shall reach that happy place, And be forever blest? When I shall see my Father's face, And in His bosom rest? 7 Fill'd with delight, my raptured soul Would here no longer stay; Though Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

Appears in 617 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Oh, may Thy will be mine! Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign.

Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear; Since Thou on earth hast wept And sorrow'd oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, My Lord, Thy will be done! 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me;: Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee: Straight to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, My Lord, Thy will be done!
