Jesus! Thy boundless love to me

Author: John Wesley; Paul Gerhardt Appears in 348 hymnals Topics: Communion With Christ; Consecration; Fellowship with God Lyrics: 1 Jesus! Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; O, knit my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there: Thine wholly, Thine alone, I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2 O, grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but Thy pure love alone; O, may Thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown: Strange fires far from my soul remove; May every act, word, thought, be love! 3 O Love! how cheering is Thy ray! All pain before Thy presence flies: Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er Thy healing beams arise: O Jesus! nothing may I see; Nothing hear, feel, or think, but Thee! 4 Still let Thy love point out my way! How wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my work, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 5 In suffering be Thy love my peace; In weakness be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that solemn hour, In death, as life, be Thou my Guide, And save me, who for me hast died. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

Rise, my soul! and stretch thy wings

Appears in 807 hymnals Topics: Happiness of fellowship with God and Christ Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul! and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things, Toward heaven, thy native place: Sun and moon, and stars decay, Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun,-- Both speed them to their source: To a soul that's born of God, Pants to view His glorious face, Upward tends to His abode, To rest in His embrace. 3 Cease, ye pilgrims! cease to mourn, Press onward to the prize; Soon your Saviour will return Triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and you know Happy entrance will be given, All our sorrows left below, And earth exchanged for heaven.

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 forsake me: Show Thy face and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble an distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may pressume, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me, While thy love is left to me! Oh,'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee! 4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find, in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee! What a Father's smile is thine; What a Saviour died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou r epine? Amen. Used With Tune: ARMSTRONG
