Author: William H. Bathurst Appears in 712 hymnals Topics: Christ Character; Christ Character Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Tho' pressed by every foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe!-- 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening rod, But, in the hour of grief or pain, Will lean upon its God;-- 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt.-- 4 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate’er may come, We’ll taste, e’en here, the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

Our Mis'ry reach'd his heav'nly Mind, And Pity brought him down. [2 When Justice, by our Sins provok'd, Drew forth its dreadful Sword, He gave his Soul up to the Stroke Without a murm'ring Word. 3 He sunk beneath our heavy Woes, To raise us to his Throne; There's ne'er a Gift his Hand bestows But cost his Heart a Groan.] 4 This was Compassion like a God, That when the Savioir knew The Price of Pardon was his Blood, His Pity ne'er withdrew. 5 Now tho' he reigns exalted High, His love is still as great; Well he remembers Calvary, Nor let his saints forget. [6 Here we behold his bowels roll, As kind as when he dy'd; And see the sorrows of his Soul Bleed thro' his wounded side.] [7 Here we receive repeated Seals Of Jesus' dying Love: Hard is the Wretch that never feels One soft Affection move.] 8 Here let our Hearts begin to melt While we his Death record, And with our Joy for pardon'd Guilt, Mourn that we pierc'd the Lord.

David in the Cave

Author: W. Gadsby Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: When Jesse's young son was honour'd of God Lyrics: 1 [When Jesse’s young son was honoured of God, The stripling began to publish abroad The love of Jehovah; his strength and his might; Which brought down Goliath in Israel’s sight. 2 What joy in the land at once did appear! Hosanna was sung to David, we hear; But soon he was forced into Adullam’s cave, And thousands pursued him his life to bereave. 3 To Adullam’s cave the wretched all run; Which David must have, their captain become; And thus he is furnished with men, to be sure, But, O be astonished! they’re helpless and poor.] 4 In David I see a greater by far; ’Tis Jesus, ’tis he who saves from despair; No sinner dejected that flees to the Lamb, Shall e’er be neglected, for David’s his name.
