Jeg slipper Jesum ei

Author: Ukj.; Ukj. Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Love to and Longing for God Lyrics: 1 Jeg slipper Jesum ei, I Jesu vil jeg blive; Han i Begyndelsen Mig Livet vilde give; Det Liv, som han mig gav, Af ham sit Ophold faar, Naar Verden falder om Og ganske undergaar. 2 Jeg slipper Jesum ei, Med Jesu vil jeg lide, Han lindrer mig mit Kors Med Trøst i rette Tide, Det mig til Gode sker; Naar Jesus er hos mig, Han Korsets Bitterhed Skal gjøre taalelig. 3 Jeg slipper Jesum ei, Med Jesu vil jeg kjæmpe Mod Verden, Djævelen, Ja Døden vil jeg dæmpe; Naar de bestorme mig, Min Jesus hjælper godt, For mig han kjæmper selv, Og gjør dem kun til Spot. 4 Jeg slipper Jesum ei, Med Jesu er jeg rede At dø; er han hos mig, Da vil han ei tilstede, Mig Døden døde skal, Nei, den en Himmel-Vei Da bliver mig, hvorfor Jeg slipper Jesum ei. 5 Jeg slipper Jesum ei; Thi kan jeg ham kun have, Saa har jeg her og hist Den allerbedste Gave. I al den Ting, jeg gjør, Er Jesus ikke med, Saa faar jeg ingen Frugt Og nyder aldrig Fred. 6 Jeg slipper Jesum ei, Fra ham vil jeg ei træde, Vi sammenbundne er Med Kjærlighedens Kjæde Saa fast, som noget kan Tilsammenføie sig, Og han skal drage mig Med sig til Himmerig. 7 Jeg slipper Jesum ei, Hans Kjærlighed mig driver, Jeg sover eller jeg Opvaagner, Jesus bliver Mit ene faste Maal, Og ingen anden Vei Jeg har til Salighed,– Jeg slipper Jesum ei.

O Jesus, I have promised

Author: J. E. Bode, 1816-1874 Appears in 650 hymnals Topics: God Longing for Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; Be Thou for ever near me, My Master and my Friend! I shall not fear the battle If Thou art by my side, Nor wander from the pathway If Thou wilt be my Guide. 2 O let me feel Thee near me: The world is ever near I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear My foes are ever near me, Around me and within; But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer. And shield my soul from sin. 3 O let me hear Thee speaking In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will. O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control; O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul. 4 O Jesus, Thou hast promised, To all who follow Thee, That where Thou art in glory There shall Thy servant be; And Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow My Master and my Friend. 5 O let me see Thy footmarks, And in them plant mine own; My hope to follow duly Is in Thy strength alone. O guide me, call me, draw me, Uphold me to the end; And then in heaven receive me, My Saviour and my Friend. Used With Tune: DAY OF REST

Lord, and am I yet alive

Meter: Irregular Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love; The Long-suffering of God Lyrics: 1 Lord, and am I yet alive, Not in torments, not in hell! Still doth thy good Spirit strive!-- With the chief of sinners dwell! Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 2 Yes, I still lift up mine eyes, Will not of thy love despair; Still in spite of sin I rise, Still I bow to thee in prayer. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 3 O the length and breadth of love! Jesus, Saviour, can it be! All thy mercy's height I prove, All the depth is seen in me. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 4 See a bush, that burns with fire, Unconsum'd amid the flame! Turn aside the sight t'admire, I the living wonder am. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 5 See a stone that hangs in air! See a spark in ocean live! Kept alive with death so near, I to God the glory give: Ever tell--to sinners tell, I am, I am out of hell!
