Author: William Walsham How Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 676 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and God Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, thou art standing outside the fast-closed door, in lowly patience waiting to pass the threshold o'er: shame on us, Christian brothers, his name and sign who bear, O shame, thrice shame upon us, to keep him standing there! 2 O Jesus, thou art knocking; and lo, that hand is scarred, and thorns thy brow encircle, and tears thy face have marred: O love that passeth knowledge, so patiently to wait! 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 328 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. Scripture: Romans 6:19 Used With Tune: HOLINESS

Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Author: C. Winkworth; J. Franck Meter: Irregular Appears in 136 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless Treasure, Fount of truest pleasure, Dearest Friend to me! Ah, how long in anguish Shall my spirit languish, Thirsting, Lord, for Thee? Thou art mine, O Lamb divine! I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Naught I ask beside Thee. 2 In Thine arms I rest me, Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here; Tho' the earth be quaking And the heavens shaking, Jesus calms my fear. Lightnings flash and thunders crash, Sin and hell in wrath assail me, Yet He will not fail me. 3 Hence, ye earthly treasures! I disown your pleasures, Jesus is my choice. Hence, thou empty glory! Naught to me thy story, Told with tempting voice. Peril, loss, disdain and cross Shall not from my Savior wrest me, Who hath owned and blest me. 4 Hence, ye moods of sadness! For the sun of gladness Deigns to shine in me. They who love the Father, Tho' the clouds may gather, Filled with peace shall be. Though of care I have my share, Thou art still my joy and pleasure, Jesus, priceless Treasure! Used With Tune: GAUDEO

I need Thee, precious Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield Appears in 307 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
