Jesus, these eyes have never seen

Author: Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 242 hymnals Topics: Year A Easter 2 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, these eyes have never seen that radiant form of thine; the veil of sense hangs dark between thy blessed face and mine. 2 I see thee not, I hear thee not, yet thou art oft with me; and earth hath ne'er so dear a spot as where I meet with thee. 3 Yet, though I have not seen, and still must rest in faith alone, I love thee, dearest Lord, and will, unseen, but not unknown. 4 When death these mortal eyes shall seal, and still this throbbing heart, the rending veil shall thee reveal all glorious as thou art.

What a friend we have in Jesus

Author: Joseph Medlicott Scriven, 1819-1886 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,775 hymnals Topics: Year A Easter 2 Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry ev'rything to him in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry ev'rything to God in prayer! 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged: take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness - take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, cumbered with a load of care? Jesus only is our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield thee, thou wilt find a solace there. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:6 Used With Tune: WHAT A FRIEND (CONVERSE)

O for a Faith That Will Not Shrink

Author: W. H. Bathurst, 1796-1877 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 711 hymnals Topics: Easter 2 Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Though pressed by many a foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe, 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chast'ning rod, But in the hour of grief or pain Will lean upon its God. 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without, That, when in danger, knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt, 4 That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile, That seas of trouble cannot drown, Nor Satan’s arts beguile, 5 A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life’s last hour is fled And with a pure and heav'nly ray Lights up a dying bed. 6 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate’er may come, We’ll taste e’en here the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.
