Just as I am, without one plea
Author: Charlotte Elliott, 1789 - 1871 Appears in 2,122 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Just as I am, without one plea,
But that thy Blood was shed for me,
And that thou bidd'st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
2 Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To thee, whose Blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
3 Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
4 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come.
5 Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come.
6 Just as I am; thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come.

Lead on, O King eternal
Author: Ernest Warburton Shurtleff, 1862 - 1917 Appears in 397 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lead on, O King eternal,
The day of march has come;
Henceforth in fields of conquest
Thy tents shall be our home:
Through days of preparation
Thy grace has made us strong,
And now, O King eternal,
We lift our battle-song.
2 Lead on, O King eternal,
Till sin's fierce war shall cease,
And holiness shall whisper
The sweet Amen of peace;
For not with swords loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums,
But deeds of love and mercy,
The heavenly kingdom comes. A-men.
3 Lead on, O King eternal:
We follow, not with fears,
For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er thy face appears:
Thy Cross is lifted o'er us;
We journey in its light;
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might.

Look, ye saints, the sight is glorious

See the Man of Sorrows now;
From the fight returned victorious,
Every knee to him shall bow;
Crown him! Crown him! Crown him!

2 Crown the Saviour, angels crown him!
Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
In the seat of power enthrone him,
While the vault of heaven rings;
Crown him! Crown him! Crown him!
Crown him! Crown him! Crown the Savior
King of kings.
3 Sinners in derision crowned him,
Mocking thus the Saviour's claim;
Saints and angels crowd around him,
Own his title, praise his Name;
Crown him! Crown him! Crown him!
Crown him! Spread abroad the
Victor's fame.
4 Hark, those bursts of acclamation,
Hark, those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station;
O what joy the sight affords!
Crown him! Crown him! Crown him!
Crown him! King of kings, and
Lord of lords.

Must enter by this door.

Till all thy living altars claim
One holy light, one heavenly flame.

Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length,
Till each in heaven appears:

When God our King
Shall thither bring
Our willing feet!

Shall pray, and pray aright.

Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee
Author: Francis Scott Key, 1779 - 1843 Appears in 280 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise thee
For the bliss thy love bestows,
For the pardoning grace that saves me,
And the peace that from it flows.
Help, O God, my weak endeavor;
This dull soul to rapture raise;
Thou must light the flame, or never
Can my love be warmed to praise.
2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee,
Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee
From the paths of death away.
Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling,
Him who saw thy guilt-born fear,
And, the light of hope revealing,
Bade the blood-stained Cross appear. A-men.
3 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling
Vainly would my lips express;
Low before thy footstool kneeling,
Deign thy suppliant’s prayer to bless;
Let thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure,
Love’s pure flame within me raise;
And, since words can never measure,
Let my life show forth thy praise.
A-men.

Among the sons of men;

He brings my weary feet,
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joys complete,

On Jesus' breast.
