Jesus, Thy Boundless Love to Me

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 353 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ, Our Lord Person of Christ 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'd live, Myself to Thee entirely give. 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. All coldness from my heart remove; my ev'ry act, word, thought, be love. 3 O Love, how gracious is Thy way! All fear before Thy presence flies; care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, where'er Thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, and naught desire or seek, but Thee. 4 In suff'ring be Thy love my peace; in weakness be Thy love my pow'r; and when the storms of life shall cease, then Jesus in that holy hour, in death as life be Thou my guide, and save me, who for me hast died. Scripture: Romans 8:28-39 Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

I Have Found a Friend in Jesus

Author: Charles W. Fry Meter: Irregular Appears in 419 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ, Our Lord Person of Christ Lyrics: 1 I have found a friend in Jesus, He's ev'rything to me, He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul; The "Lily of the Valley," in Him alone I see, all I need to cleanse and make me fully whole. In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay, He tells me ev'ry care on Him to roll; He's the "Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star," He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. 2 He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne, in temptation He's my strong and mighty tow'r; I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn from my heart, and now He keeps me by His pow'r. Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore, through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal; He's the "Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star," He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. 3 He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here, while I live by faith and do His blessed will; A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear, with His manna He my hungry soul shall fill. Then sweeping up to glory, to see His blessed face, where rivers of delight shall ever roll; He's the "Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star," He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
