Christ a Redeemer and Friend

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 61 hymnals First Line: Poor, weak and worthless though I am Lyrics: 1. Poor, weak and worthless though I am I have a rich almighty friend; Jesus, the Savior, is His name; He freely loves, and without end. 2. He ransomed me from hell with blood, And by His power my foes controlled; He found me wandering far from God, And brought me to His chosen fold. 3. He cheers my heart, my wants supplies, And says that I shall shortly be, Enthroned with Him above the skies; O what a Friend is Christ to me! 4. But, ah! my inmost spirit mourns; And well my eyes with tears may swim, To think of my perverse returns: I’ve been a faithless friend to Him. 5. Often my gracious friend I grieve, Neglect, distrust, and disobey; And often Satan’s lies believe Sooner than all my Friend can say. 6. He bids me always freely come, And promises whate’er I ask: But I am straitened, cold and dumb, And count my privilege a task 7. Before the world that hates His course, My treacherous heart has throbbed with shame; Loath to forego the worlds applause, I hardly dare avow His name. 8. Sure, were I not most vile and base, I could not thus my friend requite! And were not He the God of grace, He’d frown and spurn me from His sight.

Refrain: In the highest glory, He from Heaven came; Mighty to deliver, shout aloud His name. 2 They have washed their raiment, shining, snowy white; Clothed are they with glory, as the sons of light. Theirs the scars of battle, when the fight was on; Theirs the shout of triumph, now the day is won.

Theirs the wedding banquet, for refreshment spread; Like great seas the chorus, by their voices sped. [Refrain] 4 To the Captain’s roll call, all make answer, "Here!" "Blessèd of My Father, in His name draw near." This the purchased kingdom, this the victor song; The eternal chorus; pour its tide along.

Messiah, Joy of Every Heart

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Messiah, joy of every heart, Thou, thou the King of Glory art! The Father’s everlasting Son! Thee it delights Thy Church to own; For all our hopes on Thee depend, Whose glorious mercies never end. 2. Bent to redeem a sinful race, Thou, Lord, with unexampled grace, Into our lower world didst come, And stoop to a poor virgin’s womb; Whom all the heavens could not contain, Our God appeared a child of man! 3. When Thou hadst rendered up Thy breath, And dying drawn the sting of death, Thou didst from earth triumphant rise, And ope the portals of the skies, That all who trust in Thee alone Might follow, and partake Thy throne. 4. Seated at God’s right hand again, Thou dost in all His glory reign, Thou dost, Thy Father’s image, shine, In all the attributes divine; And Thou with judgment clad shalt come To seal our everlasting doom. 5. Wherefore we now for mercy pray; O Savior, take our sins away! Before Thou as our judge appear, In dreadful majesty severe, Appear our advocate with God, And save the purchase of Thy blood. 6. Hallow, and make Thy servants meet, And with Thy saints in glory seat; Sustain and bless us by Thy sway, And keep to that tremendous day, When all Thy church shall chant above, The new eternal song of love.

The One Life

Author: Caroline D. Howe Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Thine are the rivers: Thine, O God, the power Lyrics: 1 Thine are the rivers: Thine, O God, the power That bids them bear their waters to the sea; No cloud is mirrored there at morning hour, No wave uplifts its surging anthem free, Until the great command is heard from Thee. 2 Thine are the mountains. To the thunders nigh, Sounding their echo through the length of days, Unawed they stand, like giants towering high, In monumental state to speak Thy praise, Unshaken still, though lightnings are ablaze. 3 Thine are the forests, circling mile on mile, Where labyrinthine paths untrodden wind, Until our souls, all doubts to reconcile, Turn from these widening realms to Thee, to find The mighty purpose of Thy mightier mind. 4 Thine are all worlds, and Thine all realms of space, Whereon the stars mark out their shining course; Whate’er the sunlight clasps in its embrace, Bears the impress of love, whose tender force Kindles the soul and traces out its source. 5 Thine are the heav’ns; the wondrous arch of blue Up which the monarch sun shall proudly climb, And Thine the clouds of gold and purple hue, With planets laughing at the march of time, And shadowing forth Thy mysteries sublime. 6 Thine are our souls! Our beings blend with Thine, Upreaching toward Thee through these longings high, Stamped with Thy seal, and hearing countersign Of that One Life in us, that grows divine, By love illumed, as we to Thee draw nigh.
