Jesus hath died that I might live
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 125 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus hath died that I might live,
Might live to God alone;
In him eternal life receive,
And be in spirit one.
2 Saviour, I thank thee for thy grace,
The gift unspeakable;
And wait, with arms of faith t' embrace,
And all thy love to feel.
3 My soul breaks out in strong desire
The perfect bliss to prove;
My longing heart is all on fire
To be dissolved in love.
4 Give me thyself; from every boast--
From every wish set free;
Let all I am in thee be lost,
But give thyself to me.
5 Thy gifts, alas! can not suffice,
Unless thyself be given;
Thy presence makes my paradise,
And where thou art is heaven.
Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification; Longing to be Dissolved in Love
Jesus hath died that I might live
Jesus! I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow thee
Author: Lyle Appears in 1,311 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus! I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou, henceforth, 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 Let the world despise and leave me:
They have left my Saviour too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like them, untrue:
And while thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might!
Foes may hate, and friends may shun me;
Show thy face, and all is bright.
3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure!
Come, disaster, scorn, and pain!
In thy service pain is pleasure,
With thy favor, loss is gain.
I have called thee, Abba, Father,
I have stayed my heart on thee!
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather,
All must work for good to me. Topics: The Christian Life Consecration and Activity; All for Jesus Scripture: Psalm 71:20
Jesus! I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow thee
Lord, all I am is known to thee
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 127 hymnals Lyrics: 1 LORD, all I am is known to thee;
In vain my soul would try
To shun thy presence, or to flee
The notice of thine eye.
2 Thy all-surrounding sight surveys
My rising and my rest,
My public walks, my private ways,
The secrets of my breast.
3 My thoughts lie open to thee, Lord,
Before they're formed within,
And ere my lips pronounce the word,
Thou knowest the sense I mean.
4 Oh, wondrous knowledge! deep and high;
Where can a creature hide?
Within thy circling arms I lie,
Beset on every side.
5 So let thy grace surround me still,
And like a bulwark prove,
To guard my soul from every ill,
Secured by sovereign love.

Lord, all I am is known to thee
Lord of hosts! to thee we raise
Author: Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 206 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of hosts! to thee we raise
Here a house of prayer and praise;
Thou thy people's hearts prepare,
Here to meet with praise and prayer.
2 Let the living here be fed
With thy word, the heavenly bread:
Here, in hope of glory blest,
May the dead be laid to rest.
3 Here to thee a temple stand,
While the sea shall gird the land:
Here reveal thy mercy sure,
While the sun and moon endure.
4 Hallelujah!--earth and sky
To the joyful sound reply:
Hallelujah! hence ascend
Prayer and praise till time shall end. Topics: The Christian Church Dedication; Dedication Scripture: Isaiah 56:7
Lord of hosts! to thee we raise
Lord, teach us how to pray aright
Author: Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright,
With reverence and with fear;
Though dust and ashes in thy sight,
We may, we must draw near.
2 God of all grace, we come to thee
With broken, contrite hearts;
Give what thine eye delights to see,--
Truth in the inward parts.
3 Patience to watch, and wait, and weep,
Though mercy long delay;
Courage our fainting souls to keep,
And trust thee, though thou slay.
4 Give these, and then thy will be done;
Thus strengthened with all might,
We, by thy Spirit and thy Son,
Shall pray, and pray aright.
Topics: Prayer; True Devotion
Lord, teach us how to pray aright
There's rest in the grave
Author: Ch. Beecher Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There's rest in the grave,
Life's toils are all past,
Night cometh at last:
How calmly I rest
In the sleep of the blest,
Nor hear life's storm rave
O'er my green, grassy grave.
2 No rest in the grave--
Heaven's dawn purples fast,
Morn's splendors are cast
Like shafts through the gloom
Of the dark, silent tomb;
Heaven's fair bowers wave--
No rest in the grave!
3 Arise from the grave!
Heaven's bright, burning throng
Come rushing along;
They gird me about,
And triumphant shout,
As myriad palms wave,
Ascend from the grave. Topics: Resurrection and Judgment; Rest in the Grave
There's rest in the grave
Ye angels round the throne
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 135 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye angels round the throne,
And saints that dwell below,
Worship the Father, praise the Son,
And bless the Spirit, too. Topics: Doxologies
Ye angels round the throne
Oh, worship the King all-glorious above
Author: R. Grant Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 1,151 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, worship the King all-glorious above,
And gratefully sing his wonderful love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
2 Oh, tell of his might, and sing of his grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,
And dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.
4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In thee we do trust, nor find thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end!
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend. Topics: Attributes of God Holiness; Appellations of Majesty Scripture: 2 Samuel 22:9-12
Oh, worship the King all-glorious above
Behold! what wondrous grace
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 352 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold! what wondrous grace
The Father has bestowed
On sinners of a mortal race,
To call them sons of God.
2 Tis no surprising thing
That we should be unknown;
The Jewish world knew not their King,
God's everlasting Son.
3 Nor doth it yet appear
How great we must be made;
But, when we see our Saviour here,
We shall be like our Head.
4 A hope, so much divine,
May trials well endure;
May purge our souls from sense and sin,
As Christ, the Lord, is pure.
5 If, in my Father's love,
I share a filial part,
Send down thy Spirit, like a dove,
To rest upon my heart.
6 We would no longer lie,
Like slaves, beneath the throne;
Our faith shall Abba, Father! cry,
And thou the kindred own. Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification; Acceptance with God Scripture: John 1:12
Behold! what wondrous grace
Blest be the tie that binds
Author: Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,285 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love:
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
2 Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.
6 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin, we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity. Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship; Christian Fellowship Scripture: Psalm 133:1
Blest be the tie that binds
