"Jesus is my friend"

Author: C. Winkworth Appears in 116 hymnals Topics: Love, and Communion With Christ First Line: Since Jesus is my friend Lyrics: 1 Since Jesus is my friend, And I to him belong, It matters not what foes intend, However fierce and strong. 2 He whispers in my breast Sweet words of holy cheer, How they who seek in God their rest Shall ever find him near; 3 How God hath built above A city fair and new, Where eye and heart shall see and prove What faith has counted true. 4 My heart for gladness springs; It cannot more be sad; For very joy it smiles and sings, Sees naught but sunshine glad. 5 The sun that lights mine eyes Is Christ, the Lord I love; I sing for joy of that which lies Stored up for me above.

God Our Only Good

Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Christ Communion with First Line: O God, how good Thou art Lyrics: 1 O God, how good Thou art To all the pure of heart, Tho' life seems vain; Burdened with anxious care, I groped in dark despair, Till in Thy house of prayer All was made plain. 2 Ever, O Lord, with Thee, All shall be well with me, Held by Thy hand; And Thou wilt guide my feet By Thy own counsel sweet, Till I, for glory meet, In glory stand. 3 In earth or heav'n above Who is there that I love Compared with Thee? My heart may faint with fears, But God my strength appears, And will to endless years My portion be. 4 O it is good that I May still to God draw nigh, As oft before; The Lord Jehovah blest, My refuge and my rest, Shall be in praise confessed For evermore.

O sin that hath no equal, so fast to bar the gate! 3 O Jesus, thou art pleading in accents meek and low, "I died for you, my children, and will ye treat me so?" O Lord, with shame and sorrow we open now the door; dear Savior, enter, enter, and leave us nevermore. Scripture: Revelation 3:20 Used With Tune: ST. EDITH

Take Time to Be Holy

Author: William D. Longstaff Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 335 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and God Lyrics: 1 Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord; abide in him always, and feed on his Word. Make friends of God's children; help those who are weak; forgetting in nothing his blessing to seek. 2 Take time to be holy, the world rushes on; spend much time in secret with Jesus alone. By looking to Jesus, like him thou shalt be; thy friends in thy conduct his likeness shall see. 3 Take time to be holy, let him be thy guide, and run not before him, whatever betide; in joy or in sorrow, still follow thy Lord, and, looking to Jesus, still trust in his Word. 4 Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul; each thought and each motive beneath his control; thus led by his Spirit to fountains of love, thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.
