Weary of earth, and laden with my sin

Author: Samuel John Stone Appears in 219 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look to heaven, and long to enter in; But there no evil thing may find a home, And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come." 2 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear; His are the hands stretched out to draw me near, And His the Blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the throne. 3 ’Twas He Who found me on the deathly wild, And made me heir of heaven, the Father’s child, And day by day, whereby my soul may live, Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give. 4 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer, That in Thy Father’s courts my glorious dress May be the garment of Thy righteousness. 5 Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord: Thine all the merits, mine the great reward; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown, Mine the life won, through Thine, the life laid down. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Repentance Used With Tune: REGNATOR ORBIS

I need Thee, precious Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield Appears in 304 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am full of sin; My soul is dark and guilty, My heart is dead within; I need the cleansing fountain Where I can always flee, The Blood of Christ most precious, The sinner's perfect plea. 2 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am very poor; A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store. I need the love of Jesus To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay. 3 I need Thee, precious Jesus, I need a Friend like Thee, A Friend to soothe and pity, A Friend to care for me. I need the heart of Jesus To feel each anxious care, To tell my every trouble And all my sorrows share. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Soldiers of Christ, arise

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 900 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise And put your armor on, Strong in the strength which God supplies Through His eternal Son; 2 Strong in the Lord of Hosts, And in His mighty power; Who in the strength of Jesus trusts Is more than conqueror. 3 Stand, then, in His great might, With all His strength endued; But take, to arm you for the fight, The panoply of God, 4 From strength to strength go on, Wrestle, and fight, and pray; Tread all the powers of darkness down, And win the well-fought day' 5 That having all things done, And all your conflicts past, Ye may o'ercome through Christ alone, And stand entire at last.

Forever with the Lord!

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 632 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forever with the Lord! Amen! so let it be; Life from the dead is in that word, 'Tis immortality. 2 Here in the body pent, Absent from Him, I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 3 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul! how near At times to faith's far-seeing eye Thy golden gates appear! 4 Ah, then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 5 For ever with the Lord! Father, if 'tis Thy will, The promise of that faithful word E'en here to me fulfill. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail; Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand, Fight, and I must prevail. 7 So when my dying breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death To life eternal gain. 8 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!" Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Used With Tune: NEARER HOME

Go to dark Gethsemane

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 506 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter's power; Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment-hall; View the Lord of life arraigned; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at His feet, Mark that miracle of time, God's own Sacrifice complete: "It is finished," hear Him cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid His breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is ris'n!--He meets our eyes: Saviour, teach us so to rise. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week Used With Tune: REDHEAD No. 76

Hosanna! loud hosanna!

Author: Jeanette Threlfall Appears in 160 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hosanna! loud hosanna! The little children sang; Through pillar'd court and temple The lovely anthem rang; To Jesus who had blessed them, Close folded to His breast, The children sang their praises, The simplest and the best. 2 From Olivet they followed, 'Mid an exultant crowd, Waving the victor palm-branch, And shouting clear and loud; Bright angels joined the chorus Beyond the cloudless sky: "Hosanna in the highest: Glory to God on high!" 3 Fair leaves of silvery olive They strewed upon the ground, Whilst Salem's circling mountains Echoed the joyful sound; The Lord of men and angels Rode on in lowly state Nor scorned that little children Should on His bidding wait. 4 "Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song we sing; For Christ is our Redeemer, The Lord of heav'n our King. Oh! may we ever praise Him With heart, and life, and voice, And in His blissful presence Eternally rejoice! Amen.
