Christ All and in All

Author: W. Gadsby Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Christ All and In All First Line: Ye famishing, naked, and poor Lyrics: 1 Ye famishing, naked, and poor, Distressèd, tormented, forlorn, In Christ is a suitable store, For all that unto him will come; He’s Bread, and the Bread of Life too; Well suited the hungry to fill; Nor one that unto him shall go, But what will approve the Bread well. 2 Yes, he is the true paschal Lamb, Of which all his Israel must eat; Not sodden, but roast in the flame Of Sinai’s most horrible heat. This, this is the true fatted calf The Father gave orders to kill, That prodigals might have enough When feasting on fair Zion’s hill. 3 [The Wine of the Kingdom is Christ, Provided for beggars distressed! Which makes broken hearts to rejoice, When with it the soul is refreshed. He’s Water to cleanse and to heal; The thirsty are welcome to drink; A River that never can fail; A Fountain that never can sink. 4 It always is full to the brim, Of water of life and of peace; From which blessings flow like a stream, As free as the sun runs its race. He’s marrow and fatness as well, A fulness of every good; Nor Gabriel is able to tell, The blessings that in him are stored.]

Christ the Believer's All

Author: Hart Meter: 8.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Christ All and In All First Line: Lamb of God, we fall before thee Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before thee, Humbly trusting in thy cross; That alone be all our glory; All things else are dung and dross; Thee we own a perfect Saviour, Only Source of all that’s good: Every grace and every favour Comes to us through Jesus’ blood. 2 [Jesus gives us true repentance, By his Spirit sent from heaven; Jesus whispers this sweet sentence, “Son, thy sins are all forgiven.” Faith he gives us to believe it; Grateful hearts his love to prize; Want we wisdom? He must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes.] 3 [Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what he requires; Makes us follow his directions, And what he commands inspires. All our prayers and all our praises, Rightly offered in his name, He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.] 4 When we live on Jesus’ merit, Then we worship God aright, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Then we savingly unite. Hear the whole conclusion of it; Great or good, whate’er we call, God, or King, or Priest, or Prophet, Jesus Christ is All in All.

Christ the Believer's Song

Author: W. Gadsby Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Christ All and In All First Line: Ye saints of the Lord, rejoice in your King Lyrics: 1 Ye saints of the Lord, rejoice in your King; His mercy record; his faithfulness sing, His infinite power and wisdom proclaim; His free grace adore, and sing “Worthy’s the Lamb!” 2 Complete and all pure in Jesus you are; Your baseness he bore, and makes you all fair; Nor Gabriel can boast of a robe more divine, Than on you is cast, and in which you shall shine. 3 ’Midst worlds in a blaze, and wrath streaming forth, While millions shall gaze divested of hope, In dread consternation, distracted with fear Of just condemnation and utter despair, 4 True Christians shall stand, without fear or shame, At Jesus’ right hand, in glory to reign, The dread conflagration their joy can’t decrease, Complete’s their salvation, and all is of grace. 5 Hallelujah, amen; salvation’s of God! Repeat it again, and publish abroad The love of your Saviour; what theme’s so complete? He’ll leave you? No, never! his love is too great.

Dependance on Christ alone

Author: Hart Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Christ All and In All First Line: If ever it could come to pass Lyrics: 1 If ever it could come to pass, That sheep of Christ might fall away, My fickle, feeble soul, alas! Would fall a thousand times a day; Were not thy love as firm as free, Thou soon would’st take it, Lord, from me. 2 I on thy promises depend; At least I to depend desire; That thou wilt love me to the end, Be with me in temptation’s fire; Wilt for me work, and in me too, And guide me right and bring me through. 3 No other stay have I beside; If these can alter, I must fall; I look to thee to be supplied With life, with will, with power, with all. Rich souls may glory in their store, But Jesus will relieve the poor.

God my only Happiness

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 256 hymnals Topics: Christ All and In All First Line: My God, my Portion, and my Love Lyrics: 1 My God, my Portion, and my Love, My everlasting All, I’ve none but thee in heaven above, Or on this earthly ball. 2 [What empty things are all the skies, And this inferior clod! There’s nothing here deserves my joys; There’s nothing like my God.] 3 [In vain the bright, the burning sun Scatters his feeble light; ’Tis thy sweet beams create my noon; If thou withdraw, ’tis night.] 4 [And whilst upon my restless bed, Amongst the shades I roll, If my Redeemer shows his head, ’Tis morning with my soul.] 5 To thee we owe our wealth, and friends, And health, and safe abode; Thanks to thy name for meaner things, But they are not my God. 6 [How vain a toy is glittering wealth, If once compared to thee! Or what’s my safety or my health, Or all my friends to me?] 7 [Were I possessor of the earth, And called the stars my own, Without thy graces and thyself, I were a wretch undone!] 8 Let others stretch their arms like seas, And grasp in all the shore; Grant me the visits of thy face, And I desire no more.

Christ altogether Lovely

Author: Berridge Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Christ All and In All First Line: Soon as faith the Lord can see Lyrics: 1 Soon as faith the Lord can see, Bleeding on the cross for me, Quick my idols all depart, Jesus gets and fills my heart. 2 [None among the sons of men, None among the heavenly train, Can with Jesus then compare; None so sweet and none so fair.] 3 Then my tongue would fain express All his love and loveliness; But I lisp and falter forth Broken words, not half his worth. 4 Vexed, I try and try again; Still my efforts all are vain; Living tongues are dumb at best; We must die to speak of Christ. 5 [Blessèd is the upper saint, Who can praise and never faint, Gazing on thee evermore, And with flaming heart adore.] 6 [Let the Lord a smile bestow On his lisping babes below, That will keep their infant tongue Prattling of him all day long.]

The Fulness of Christ

Author: Fawcett Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Christ All and In All First Line: A fulness resides in Jesus our Head Lyrics: 1 A fulness resides in Jesus our Head, And ever abides to answer our need; The Father’s good pleasure has laid up in store A plentiful treasure, to give to the poor. 2 Whate’er be our wants, we need not to fear; Our numerous complaints his mercy will hear; His fulness shall yield us abundant supplies; His power shall shield us when dangers arise. 3 The fountain o’erflows, our woes to redress, Still more he bestows, and grace upon grace. His gifts in abundance we daily receive; He has a redundance for all that believe. 4 Whatever distress awaits us below, Such plentiful grace will Jesus bestow As still shall support us and silence our fear, For nothing can hurt us while Jesus is near. 5 When troubles attend, or danger, or strife, His love will defend and guard us through life; And when we are fainting and ready to die, Whatever is wanting, his grace will supply.
