Hail, Thou Once-Despised Jesus

Thou didst suffer to release us, Thou didst free salvation bring. Hail, Thou universal Savior, Who hast borne our sin and shame; By whose merits we find favor; Life is given through Thy name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, All our sins on Thee were laid; By almighty love anointed, Thou hast full atonement made. Ev'ry sin may be forgiven Through the virtue of Thy blood; Open is the gate of heaven; Peace is made 'twixt man and God. 3 Jesus, hail, enthroned in glory, There forever to abide! All the heav'nly host adore Thee, Seated at Thy Father's side. There for sinners Thou art pleading, There Thou dost our place prepare, Ever for us interceding Till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, pow'r, and blessing Thou art worthy to receive; Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give. Help, ye bright angelic spirits, Bring your sweetest, noblest lays; Help to sing our Savior's merits, Help to chant Immanuel's praise.

Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; learn from Christ to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain view; there the Lord of glory see, made a sacrifice for you, dying on the accursed tree. "It is finished," hear him cry: trust in Christ and learn to die. Used With Tune: REDHEAD No. 76

I see your cross: there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek you and O let me find! 4 Teach me to love you as your angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame, the baptism of the heaven-descended dove, my heart an altar and your love the flame.

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,326 hymnals Topics: Lent 5 Year B Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none; hangs my helpless soul on thee; leave, ah! leave me not alone; still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart; rise to all eternity. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
