Christ in the Word
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #201 (1888) Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Thou lovely Source of true delight Lyrics: 1 Thou lovely Source of true delight,
Whom I unseen adore!
Unvail thy beauties to my sight,
That I may love thee more.
2 Thy glory o'er creation shines;--
But in thy sacred word,
I read, in fairer, brighter lines,
My bleeding, dying Lord.
3 'Tis here, whene'er my comforts droop,
And sin and sorrow rise,
Thy love, with cheering beams of hope,
My fainting heart supplies.
4 But ah! too soon the pleasing scene
Is clouded o'er with pain;
My gloomy fears rise dark between,
And I again complain.
5 Jesus, my Lord, my life, my light!
Oh, come with blissful ray;
Break radiant through the shades of night,
And chase my fears away.
6 Then shall my soul with rapture trace
The wonders of thy love:
But the full glories of thy face
Are only known above. Scripture: John 5:39 Languages: English Tune Title: HAVEN

Christ's earthly path
Author: James G. Deck Hymnal: Laudes Domini #191 (1888) Topics: Christ Character of First Line: O Lord, we now thy path retrace Lyrics: 1 O Lord, we now the path retrace
Which thou on earth hast trod,
To man thy wondrous love and grace,
Thy faithfulness to God!
2 Thy love, by man so sorely tried,
Proved stronger than the grave;
The very spear that pierced thy side
Drew forth the blood to save.
3 Unmoved by Satan's subtle wiles,
Or suffering, shame, or loss,
Thy path uncheered by earthly smiles,
Led only to the cross.
4 O Lord, with sorrow and with shame,
We meekly would confess,
How little we, who bear thy name,
Thy mind, thy ways, express.
5 Give us thy meek, thy lowly mind;
We would obedient be,
And all our rest and pleasure find
In fellowship with thee. Scripture: John 13:1 Languages: English Tune Title: HUMMEL
Christ's earthly path
"Way, Truth, and Life"
Author: George W. Doane Hymnal: Laudes Domini #193 (1888) Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Thou art the Way: to thee alone Lyrics: 1 Thou art the Way: to thee alone
From sin and death we flee;
And he who would the Father seek,
Must seek him, Lord, by thee.
2 Thou art the Truth: thy word alone
True wisdom can impart;
Thou only canst inform the mind,
And purify the heart.
3 Thou art the Life: the rending tomb
Proclaims thy conquering arm;
And those who put their trust in thee
And death nor hell shall harm.
4 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life:
Grant us that Way to know;
That Truth to keep, that Life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow. Scripture: John 14:6 Languages: English Tune Title: GRIGG

Pattern of Forgiveness
Author: John H. Gurney Hymnal: Laudes Domini #194 (1888) Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to thy dear cross we flee,
And pray to be forgiven,
So let thy life our pattern be,
And form our souls for heaven.
2 Help us, through good report and ill,
Our daily cross to bear;
Like thee, to do our Father's will,
Our brother's griefs to share.
3 Let grace our selfishness expel,
Our earthliness refine;
And kindness in our bosoms dwell
As free and true as thine.
4 If joy shall at thy bidding fly,
And grief's dark day come on,
We, in our turn, would meekly cry,
"Father, thy will be done!"
5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife,
Forgiving and forgiven,
Oh, may we lead the pilgrim's life,
And follow thee to heaven! Scripture: Matthew 7:1 Languages: English Tune Title: HELENA

"Shall we forget"
Author: William Mitchell Hymnal: Laudes Domini #195 (1888) Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Jesus! thy love shall we forget Lyrics: 1 Jesus! thy love shall we forget,
And never bring to mind
The grace that paid our hopeless debt,
And bade us pardon find?
2 Shall we thy life of grief forget,
Thy fasting and thy prayer;
Thy locks with mountain vapors wet,
To save us from despair?
3 Gethsemane can we forget--
Thy struggling agony
When night lay dark on Olivet,
And none to watch with thee?
4 Our sorrows and our sins were laid
On thee, alone on thee;
Thy precious blood our ransom paid--
Thine all the glory be!
5 Life's brightest joys we may forget--
Our kindred cease to love;
But he who paid our hopeless debt,
Our constancy shall prove. Scripture: Luke 22:44 Languages: English Tune Title: HELENA
"Shall we forget"
"His free ways"
Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #196 (1888) Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Oh, see how Jesus trusts himself Lyrics: 1 Oh, see how Jesus trusts himself
Unto our childish love!
As though by his free ways with us
Our earnestness to prove.
His sacred name a common word
On earth he loves to hear;
There is no majesty in him
Which love may not come near.
2 The light of love is round his feet,
His paths are never dim;
And he comes nigh to us when we
Dare not come nigh to him.
Let us be simple with him then,
Not backward, stiff, nor cold,
As though our Bethlehem could be
What Sinai was of old. Scripture: Luke 10:39 Languages: English Tune Title: FLENSBURG
"His free ways"
The Words of Jesus
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Laudes Domini #198 (1888) Topics: Christ Character of First Line: I heard the voice of Jesus say Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon my breast!"
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting-place,
And he hath made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,--
"Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live!"
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,--
"I am this dark world's light;
Look unto me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright!"
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my Star, my Sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk,
Till all my journey's done.

The Perfect Pattern
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #199 (1888) Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Let worldly minds the world pursue Lyrics: 1 Let worldly minds the world pursue,
It has no charms for me;
Once I admired its trifles too,
But grace has set me free.
As by the light of opening day,
The stars are all concealed;
So earthly pleasures fade away,
When Jesus is revealed.
2 Creatures no more divide my choice,
I bid them all depart;
His name, and love, and gracious voice.
Have fixed my roving heart.
But may I hope that thou wilt own
A worthless worm like me?
Now, Lord! I would be thine alone,
And wholly live to thee. Scripture: Psalm 16:8 Languages: English Tune Title: VOC DILECTI

"Altogether Lovely"
Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: Laudes Domini #202 (1888) Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Saviour's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
2 No mortal can with him compare,
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is he than all the fair
That fill the heavenly train.
3 He saw me plunged in deep distress,
He flew to my relief;
For me he bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief.
4 To him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
He saves me from the grave.
5 To heaven, the place of his abode,
He brings my weary feet;
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joy complete.
6 Since from his bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord! they should all be thine. Scripture: Psalm 45:2 Languages: English Tune Title: ORTONVILLE
"Altogether Lovely"
'Tis from the treasures of his word
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXLVII (1766) Topics: Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 'Tis from the Treasures of his Word
I borrow Titles or my Lord;
Nor Art nor Nature can supply
Sufficient Forms of Majesty.
2 Bright Image of the Father's Face,
Shining with undiminish'd Rays;
Th' Eternal God's Eternal Son,
The Heir and Partner of his Throne.
3 The King of Kings, the Lord most high,
Writes his own Name upon his Thigh;
He wears a Garment dipt in Blood,
And breaks the Nations with his Rod.
4 Where Grace can neither melt nor move,
The Lamb resents his injur'd Love,
Awakes his Wrath without Delay,
And Judah's Lion tears the Prey.
5 But when for Works of Peace he comes,
What winning Titles he assumes?
Light of the World; and Life of Men;
Nor bears those Characters in vain.
6 With tender Pity in his Heart,
He acts the Mediator's Part;
A Friend and Brother he appears,
And well fulfils the Name he wears.
7 At Length the Judge his Throne ascends,
Divides the Rebels from his Friends,
And Saints in full Fruition prove
His rich Variety of Love. Languages: English
'Tis from the treasures of his word
