Chorus: Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, Thou hast bought us, Thine we are; Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, Thou hast bought us, Thine we are. 2 Thou hast promised to receive us, Poor and sinful though we be; Thou hast mercy to relieve us, Grace to cleanse, and power to free. Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, Let us early turn to Thee. [Chorus] 3 Early let us seek Thy favor, Early let us do Thy will; Blessed Lord and only Saviour, With Thy love our bosom fill. Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, Thou hast loved us, love us still. [Chorus]

Faith, Hope, and Charity

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Christian graces Lyrics: Faith, Hope, and Charity,--these three, Yet is the greatest Charity! Father of lights, those gifts impart To mine and every human heart:-- Faith, that in prayer can never fail, Hope, that o'er doubting must prevail, And Charity, whose name above Is God's own name, for "God is love." The morning star is lost in light, Faith vanishes at perfect sight; The rainbow passes with the storm, And Hope with sorrow's fading form:-- But Charity, serene, sublime, Beyond the range of death and time, Like the blue sky's all-bounding space, Holds heaven and earth in its embrace. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:13

As pants the hart for cooling springs

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling springs, So longs my soul, O King of kings, Thy face in near approach to see, So thirsts, great Source of Life, for Thee. 2 With ardent zeal, with strong desires, To Thee, to Thee my soul aspires; When shall I reach thy blest abode? When meet the presence of my God? 3 God of my strength, attend my cry, Say why, my great Preserver, why Excluded from thy sight I go, And bend beneath a weight of wo? 4 Why thus, my soul, with care opprest? And whence the woes that fill my breast? In all thy cares, in all thy woes, On God thy steadfast hope repose. 5 To Him my thanks shall still be paid, My sure defence, my constant aid; His name my zeal shall ever raise, And dictate to my lips his praise. Scripture: Psalm 42:1

O that my load of sin were gone

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 447 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 O that my load of sin were gone, O that I could at last submit, At Jesus' feet to lay it down! To lay my soul at Jesus' feet! 2 Rest for my soul I long to find: Saviour, if mine indeed thou art, Give me thy meek and lowly mind, And stamp thine image on my heart. 3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin, And fully set my spirit free; I cannot rest till pure within, Till I am wholly lost in thee. 4 Fain would I learn of thee, my God, Thy light and easy burden prove, The cross, all stain'd with hallow'd blood, The labour of thy dying love. 5 I would; but thou must give the power; My heart from every sin release; Bring near, bring near the joyful hour, And fill me with thy perfect peace. 6 Come, Lord, the drooping sinner cheer, Nor let thy chariot wheels delay; Appear in my poor heart, appear; My God, my Saviour, come away!

My God! permit me not to be

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 344 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 My God! permit me not to be A stranger to myself and thee; Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove, Forgetful of my highest love. 2 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heav'nly birth? Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Father, go? 3 Call me away from flesh and sense; Thy gracious word can draw me thence. I would obey the voice divine, And all inferior joys resign. 4 Be earth, with all her cares, withdrawn; Let noise and vanity be gone; In secret silence of the mind, My heav'n, and there my God, I find.

My Father! cheering name!

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 261 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 My Father! cheering name! O may I call thee mine! Give me with humble hope to claim A portion so divine. 2 This can my fears control, And bid my sorrows fly: What real harm can reach my soul Beneath my Father's eye? 3 Whate'er thy will denies, I calmly would resign: For thou art just, and good, and wise: O bend my will to thine! 4 Whate'er thy will ordains, O give me strength to bear; Still let me know, a Father reigns, And trust a Father's care. 4 If anguish rend this frame, And life almost depart: Is not thy mercy still the same, To cheer my drooping heart? 6 Thy ways are little known To my weak erring sight; Yet shall my soul, believing, own, That all thy ways are right. 7 My Father! blissful name! Beyond expression dear: If thou admit my humble claim, I bid adieu to fear.

Wherefore should man, frail child of clay

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 99 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Wherefore should man, frail child of clay Who, from the cradle to the shroud, Lives but the insect of a day,-- O why should mortal man be proud? 2 His brightest visions just appear, Then vanish, and no ore are found: The stateliest pile his pride can rear, A breath may level with the ground. 3 By doubts perplex'd, in error lost, With trembling step he seeks his way: How vain of wisdom's gift the boast! Of reason's lamp how faint the ray! 4 Follies and crimes, a countless sum, Are crowded in life's little span: How ill, alas, does pride become That erring, guilty creature, man! 5 God of my life! Father divine! Give me a meek and lowly mind; In modest worth O let me shine, And peace in humble virtue find.

Lo, what a pleasing sight

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Lo, what a pleasing sight Are brethren that agree! How blest are all, whose hearts unite In bonds of piety! 2 From those celestial springs, Such streams of comfort flow, As no increase of riches brings, Nor honours can bestow. 3 All in their stations move, And each performs his part, In all the cares of life and love; With sympathizing heart. 4 Form'd for the purest joys, By one desire possest, One aim the zeal of all employs, To make each other blest. 5 No bliss can equal theirs, Where such affections meet; While praise devout, and mingled pray'rs Make their communion sweet. 6 'Tis the same pleasure fills The breast in worlds above; Where joy like morning-dew distils, And all the air is love.

Dear Lord, my best desires fulfil

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 258 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord, my best desires fulfil, And help me to resign Life, health, and comfort to thy will; And make thy pleasure mine. 2 Why should I shrink at thy command Whose love forbids my fears? Or tremble at the gracious hand That wipes away my tears? 3 No--let me rather freely yield What most I prize to thee, Who never hast a good withheld, Or wilt withhold, from me. 4 Thy favour, all my journey through, Thou art engag'd to grant; What else I want, or think I do, 'Tis better still to want. 5 Wisdom and mercy guide my way: Shall I resist them both? A poor blind creature of a day, And crush'd before the moth? 6 But ah! my inward spirit cries, Still bind me to thy sway; Else the next cloud that veils my skies Drives all these thoughts away. Scripture: Hebrews 12:7
