"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.

'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.
