Jesus, I my cross have taken

Appears in 1,304 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be: Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Man may trouble and distress me, 'T will but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O 't is not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O 't were not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmix'd with Thee. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear; Think what Spirit dwells within Thee; Think what Father's smiles are thine; What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste then on from grace to glory, Arm'd by faith, and wing'd by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall cease thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Topics: Offices of the Church Confirmation

Jesu, Lover of my soul

Appears in 3,222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy Bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life be past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me: All my trust on Thee is stay'd, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within: Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity.

All is o'er, the pain, the sorrow

Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All is o'er, the pain, the sorrow, Human taunts and Satan's spite; Death shall be despoiled to-morrow Of the Prey he grasps to-night. Yet once more, His own to save, Christ must sleep within the grave. 2 Fierce and deadly was the anguish On the bitter Cross He bore; How did soul and body languish, Till the toil of death was o'er! But that toil, so fierce and dread, Bruised and crushed the serpent's head. 3 Close and still the tomb that holds Him, While in brief repose He lies; Deep the slumber that enfolds Him, Veiled awhile from mortal eyes: Slumber such as needs must be After hard-won victory. 4 So this nght, with voice of sadness Chant the anthem soft and low; Loftier strains of praise and gladness From to-morrow's harps shall flow: "Death and hell at length are slain, Christ hath triumphed, Christ doth reign."

Bless Thy servants; on their head Now the oil of gladness shed; In this nuptial bond to Thee Let them consecrated be. 2 In prosperity, be near, To preserve them in thy fear; In affliction, let Thy smile All the woes of life beguile; And when every change is past, Take them to Thyself at last.

Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 352 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone; Let my religious hours alone; From flesh and sense I would be free, And hold communion, Lord, with Thee. 2 My heart grows warm with holy fire, And kindles with a pure desire To see Thy grace, to taste Thy love, And feel Thine influence from above. 3 When I can say that God is mine, When I can see Thy glories shine, I'll tread the world beneath my feet, And all that men call rich and great. 4 Send comfort down from Thy right hand, To cheer me in this barren land; And in thy temple let me know The joys that from Thy presence flow.
