I need Thee, precious Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield Appears in 304 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am full of sin; My soul is dark and guilty, My heart is dead within; I need the cleansing fountain Where I can always flee, The Blood of Christ most precious, The sinner's perfect plea. 2 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am very poor; A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store. I need the love of Jesus To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay. 3 I need Thee, precious Jesus, I need a Friend like Thee, A Friend to soothe and pity, A Friend to care for me. I need the heart of Jesus To feel each anxious care, To tell my every trouble And all my sorrows share. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Thou art the Way; to Thee alone

Author: George Washington Doane Appears in 604 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ 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 Nor 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. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. JAMES

John Keble; Bishop Ken Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,446 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear, It is not night if Thou be near: O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes! 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My weary eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest Forever on my Savior's breast! 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die. 4 If some poor wandering child of Thine Have spurned today the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done, That with the world, myself, and Thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 6 O may my soul on Thee repose, And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close, Sleep that may me more vigorous make To serve my God when I awake. 7 Praise God, from whom all blessing flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

God Our Only Good

Appears in 11 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 Lord, I would delight in thee

Author: John Ryland Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 243 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and God Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I would delight in thee, And on thy care depend; To thee in ev'ry trouble flee, My best, my only Friend. 2 When all created streams are dried, Thy fulness is the same; May I with this be satisfied, And glory in thy Name. 3 No good in creatures can be found, But may be found in thee; I must have all things and abound, While God is God to me. 4 O that I had a stronger faith, To look within the veil! To credit what my Saviour saith, Whose Word can never fail! 5 He that has made my heav'n secure, Will here all good provide; While Christ is rich, can I be poor? What can I want beside? 6 O Lord, I cast my care on thee; I triumph and adore: Henceforth my great concern shall be To love and please thee more. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 37:4 Used With Tune: BELMONT
