Jesus, Master, hear me now

Author: Anon. Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 52 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Master, hear me now, While I would renew my vow, And record thy dying love; Hear, and help me from above. 2 Feed me, Saviour, with this bread, Broken in thy body's stead; Cheer my spirit with this wine, Streaming like that blood of thine. 3 And as now I eat and drink, Let me truly, sweetly think Thou didst hang upon the tree, Broken, bleeding, there--for me!

Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my life, thyself apply; Thy Holy Spirit breathe; My vile affections crucify; Conform me to thy death. 2 Conqu'ror of hell and earth and sin, Still with the rebel strive: Enter my soul and work within, And kill, and make alive. 3 Reign in me, Lord; thy foes control, Who would not own thy sway; Diffuse thine image through my soul; Shine to the perfect day.

Jesus, my all to heaven is gone

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 785 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus my all to heaven is gone, He whom I fix my hopes upon: His track I see, and I'll pursue The narrow way, till him I view. 2 The way the holy prophets went, The road that leads from banishment, The King's high way of holiness-- I'll go, for all his paths are peace. 3 This is the way I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not; My grief a burden long has been, Because I was not saved from sin. 4 The more I strove against its power, I felt its weight and guilt the more; Till late I heard my Saviour say, Come hither, soul, I am the way. 5 Lo! glad I come, and thou blest Lamb Shalt take me to thee, whose I am: Nothing but sin have I to give; Nothing but love shall I receive! 6 Then will I tell to sinners round, What a dear Saviour I have found; I'll point to thy redeeming blood, And say, Behold the way to God!

Jesus, refuge of the weary

Author: Savonarola Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, refuge of the weary, Object of the spirit's love, Fountain in life's desert dreary, Saviour from the world above! 2 Oh, how oft thine eyes, offended, Gazed upon the sinner's fall! Yet thou on the cross extended Bore the penalty of all! 3 For our human sake enduring Tortures infinite in pain; By thy death our life assuring, Conquerors, through thee we reign! 4 Jesus, would my heart were burning With more vivid love for thee! Would my eyes were ever turning To thy cross of agony! 5 Would that, on that cross suspended, I the martyr's palm might win-- Where the Lord, the heaven-descended, Sinless suffered for my sin! 6 So in praise and rapture blending, Might my fading eyes grow dim, While the freed heart rose, ascending, To the circling Seraphim. 7 Then in glory parted never From the blessed Saviour's side, Graven on my heart forever Be the cross and Crucified.
