Rock smitten; or Rock of Ages
Appears in 2,972 hymnals Topics: Life of Christ, Characters and Representations First Line: Rock of Ages, shelter me Lyrics: 1. Rock of Ages, shelter me,
Let me hide myself in thee!
Let the Water, and the Blood,
From thy wounded Side which flow'd,
Be of Sin the double Cure,
Cleanse me from its Guilt and Power.
2. Not the Labour of my Hands
Can fulfil thy Law's Demands;
Could my Zeal no Respite know,
Could my Tears for ever flow,
All for Sin could not attone,
Thou must save, and thou alone.
3. Nothing in my Hand I bring,
Simply to thy Cross I cling;
Naked come to thee for Dress,
Helpless look to thee for Grace;
Black' I to the Fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die!
4. While I draw this fleeting Breath,
When my Eye-Strings break in Death,
When I soar to Worlds unknown,
See thee on thy Judgment Throne,
Rock of Ages, shelter me,
Let me hide myself in thee. Scripture: Isaiah 26:4
Rock smitten; or Rock of Ages
"Ashamed of me"
Author: Joseph Grigg Appears in 1,292 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: Jesus! and shall it ever be Lyrics: 1 Jesus! and shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of thee?
Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine through endless days?
2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far
Let evening blush to own a star;
He sheds the beams of light divine
O'er this benighted soul of mine.
3 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend
On whom my hopes of heaven depend!
No; when I blush, be this my shame,
That I no more revere his name.
4 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may,
When I've no guilt to wash away;
No tear to wipe, no good to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save.
5 Till then nor is my boasting vain
Till then, I boast a Saviour slain!
And, oh, may this my glory be
That Christ is not ashamed of me!

"Ashamed of me"
Go worship at Immanuel's feet
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 Go worship at Immanuel’s feet;
See in his face what wonders meet,
Earth is too narrow to express
His worth, his glory, or his grace.
2 [The whole creation can afford
But some faint shadows of my Lord;
Nature, to make his beauties known,
Must mingle colours not her own.]
3 [Is he compared to Wine or Bread?
Dear Lord, our souls would thus be fed.
That flesh, that dying blood of thine,
Is bread of life, is heavenly wine.]
4 [Is he a Tree? the world receives
Salvation from his healing leaves;
That righteous branch, that fruitful bough,
Is David’s root and offspring too.]
5 [Is he a Rose? not Sharon yields
Such fragrancy in all her fields;
Or if the Lily he assume,
The valleys bless the rich perfume.]
6 [Is he a Vine? his heavenly root
Supplies the boughs with life and fruit;
O let a lasting union join
My soul to Christ, the living Vine!]
7 [Is he a Head? each member lives,
And owns the vital power he gives –
The saints below and saints above,
Joined by his Spirit and his love.]
8 [Is he a Fountain? there I bathe,
And heal the plague of sin and death;
These waters all my soul renew,
And cleanse my spotted garments too.]
9 [Is he a Fire? he’ll purge my dross;
But the true gold sustains no loss;
Like a refiner shall he sit,
And tread the refuse with his feet.]
10 [Is he a Rock? how firm he proves!
The Rock of Ages never moves;
Yet the sweet streams that from him flow,
Attend us all the desert through.]
11 [Is he a Way? he leads to God;
The path is drawn in lines of blood;
There would I walk with hope and zeal,
Till I arrive at Zion’s hill.
12 Is he a Door? I’ll enter in;
Behold the pastures large and green;
A paradise divinely fair;
None but the sheep have freedom there.]
13 [Is he designed the Corner-stone,
For men to build their heaven upon?
I’ll make him my foundation too,
Nor fear the plots of hell below.]
14 [Is he a Temple? I adore
The indwelling majesty and power;
And still to his most holy place,
Whene’er I pray, I’ll turn my face.]
15 [Is he a Star? he breaks the night,
Piercing the shades with dawning light;
I know his glories from afar,
I know the bright, the Morning Star.]
16 [Is he a Sun? his beams are grace,
His course is joy and righteousness;
Nations rejoice when he appears
To chase their clouds and dry their tears.]
17 O let me climb those higher skies,
Where storms and darkness never rise!
Where he displays his powers abroad,
And shines and reigns the incarnate God.
18 Nor earth, nor seas, nor sun, nor stars,
Nor heaven his full resemblance bears;
His beauties we can never trace,
Till we behold him face to face. Scripture: Psalm 45:2
Go worship at Immanuel's feet
Loving and Beloved
Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 321 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Do not I love thee, O my Lord? Lyrics: 1 Do not I love thee, O my Lord?
Behold my heart, and see;
And turn the dearest idol out
That dares to rival thee.
2 Is not thy name melodious still
To mine attentive ear?
Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound,
My Saviour's voice to hear?
3 Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock
I would disdain to feed?
Hast thou a foe, before whose face
I fear thy cause to plead?
4 Would not my heart pour forth its blood
In honor of thy name?
And challenge the cold hand of death
To damp the immortal flame?
5 Thou knowest that I love thee, Lord;
But, oh, I long to soar
Far from the sphere of mortal joys,
And learn to love thee more.
Scripture: Ezekiel 14:3 Used With Tune: ARMENIA

Psalm 71
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 310 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: My Saviour! my almighty Friend Lyrics: 1 My Saviour! my almighty Friend;
When I begin thy praise,
Where will the growing numbers end,--
The numbers of thy grace?
2 Thou art my everlasting trust;
Thy goodness I adore;
And, since I knew thy graces first,
I speak thy glories more.
3 My feet shall travel all the length
Of the celestial road;
And march, with courage in thy strength,
To see my Father God.
4 How will my lips rejoice to tell
The victories of my King!
My soul, redeemed from sin and hell,
Shall thy salvation sing. Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Words of cheer and words of love;
Thus the risen Saviour whispers,
From his dwelling-place above.
2 With us when we toil in sadness,
Sowing much and reaping none;
Telling us that in the future
Golden harvests shall be won.
3 With us when the storm is sweeping
O'er our pathway dark and drear;
Waking hope within our bosoms,
Stilling every anxious fear.
4 With us in the lonely valley,
When we cross the chilling stream
Lighting up the steps to glory
With salvation's radiant beam. Used With Tune: WILMOT

He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay.
He tells me every care on Him to roll:
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
2 He all my griefs has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
From my heart, and now He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal;:
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
3 He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear,
With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll:
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. Used With Tune: [I have found a friend in Jesus]

Christ's earthly path
Author: James G. Deck Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: O Lord, we now thy path retrace Lyrics: 1 O Lord, we now the path retrace
Which thou on earth hast trod,
To man thy wondrous love and grace,
Thy faithfulness to God!
2 Thy love, by man so sorely tried,
Proved stronger than the grave;
The very spear that pierced thy side
Drew forth the blood to save.
3 Unmoved by Satan's subtle wiles,
Or suffering, shame, or loss,
Thy path uncheered by earthly smiles,
Led only to the cross.
4 O Lord, with sorrow and with shame,
We meekly would confess,
How little we, who bear thy name,
Thy mind, thy ways, express.
5 Give us thy meek, thy lowly mind;
We would obedient be,
And all our rest and pleasure find
In fellowship with thee. Scripture: John 13:1 Used With Tune: HUMMEL

Where some day, thro' faith in His wonderful grace,

Ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the Son!
Thee will I cherish,
Thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown!
2 Fair are the meadows,
Fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring:
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.
3 Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twinkling, starry host;
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heav'n can boast.
4 Beautiful Savior!
Lord of all nations!
Son of God and Son of man!
Glory and honor,
Praise, adoration,
Now and forevermore be Thine!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 45:2 Used With Tune: [Fairest Lord Jesus!] Text Sources: Gesangbuch, Münster, 1677; Trans. anonymous (v. 1-3)
