In days long past the mercy seat

Author: Doris N. Rendell Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 In days long past the mercy seat Was made of purest gold; ‘Twas placed upon the sacred ark, Love’s meaning to unfold. Within the holiest place God planned Redemption’s grace to show; More sacred now is Calvary’s hill Where healing waters flow. 2 Thy blood, O Jesus, spotless Lamb, Once lifted up to die, Was shed to cleanse our fallen race And lead to realms on high. No one too sinful, or too low, Too desolate, too blind, But here before the mercy seat Can full deliverance find. 3 O hallow now our mercy seat, Thou Son of God most high! Here may the lame man leap for joy, The dumb sound joyful cry, The sin-sick soul, though wearied sore, By evil power possessed, The halt, the blind, the great, the small, Find peace from sins confessed. 4 We seek the healing of thy cross, The mercy of thy grace; Here at this sacred mercy seat May we behold thy face; Here may we glimpse thy holiness, Here on our souls descend, Here may we meet, and talk with thee, Our Master and our friend.

Jesus, and shall it ever be

Author: Joseph Grigg (c 1728-68) Appears in 1,275 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and shall it ever be A sinful man ashamed of thee? Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise, Whose glory shines through endless days? 2 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear friend On whom my hopes of Heaven depend? Whene’er I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere his name. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! Yes, I may, When I’ve no sin to wash away, No tears to wipe, no good to crave, And no immortal soul to save. 4 Till then, nor is the boasting vain, Till then, I’ll boast the Saviour slain; And O may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me.

Jesus, give thy blood-washed

Author: William James Pearson (1832-92) Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, give thy blood-washed Army Universal liberty; Keep us fighting, trusting calmly For a world-wide jubilee. Hallelujah! We shall have the victory. 2 Thou hast bound brave hearts together, Clothed us with the Spirit’s might, Made us warriors for ever, Sent us in the field to fight. In the Army We will serve thee day and night. 3 ‘Neath thy sceptre foes are bending, And thy name makes devils fly; Captives’ fetters thou art rending, And thy blood doth sin destroy. For thy glory We will fight until we die. 4 Lift up valleys, cast down mountains, Make all evil natures good; Wash the world in Calvary’s fountain, Send a great salvation flood. All the nations We shall win with fire and blood. Topics: Means of grace Prayer

Jesus, my strength, my hope

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 385 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my strength, my hope, On thee I cast my care, With humble confidence look up, And know thou hearest prayer. Give me on thee to wait, Till I can all things do, On thee, almighty to create, Almighty to renew. 2 I want a sober mind, A self-renouncing will, That tramples down and casts behind The baits of pleasing ill; A soul inured to pain, To hardship, grief and loss, Bold to take up, firm to sustain, The consecrated cross. 3 I want a godly fear, A quick-discerning eye, That looks to thee when sin is near, And sees the tempter fly; A spirit still prepared And armed with jealous care, For ever standing on its guard, And watching unto prayer. 4 I rest upon thy word; The promise is for me; My succour and salvation, Lord, Shall surely come from thee. But let me still abide, Nor from my hope remove, Till thou my patient spirit guide Into thy perfect love. Topics: Means of grace Prayer

Jesus, Saviour, pilot me

Author: Edward Hopper (1818-88) Appears in 1,183 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me Over life’s tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rocks and treacherous shoal; Chart and compass come from thee, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 2 As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild. Raging waves obey thy will, When thou say’st to them: Be still. Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 3 When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar ‘Twixt me and the peaceful rest, Then, while leaning on thy breast, May I hear thee say to me: Fear not, I will pilot thee.
