Jesus, in Thee our Eyes behold

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXLV (1766) Topics: Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, in Thee our Eyes behold A Thousand Glories more Than the rich Gems and polish'd Gold The Sons of Aaron wore. 2 They first their own Burnt-off'rings brought, To purge themselves from Sin; Thy Life was pure, without a Spot, And all thy Nature clean. [3 Fresh Blood, as constant as the Day, Was on their Altar spilt; But thy one Off'ring takes away For ever all our Guilt.] [4 Their Priesthood ran through sev'ral Hands, For Mortal was their Race; Thy never-changing Office Stands, Eternal as thy Days.] [5 Once in the Circuit of a Year, With Blood, but not his own, Aaron within the Vale appears, Before the Golden Throne: 6 But Christ, by his own pow'rful Blood, Ascends above the Skies, And in the Presence of our God, Shews his own Sacrifice.] 7 Jesus, the King of Glory, reigns On Sion's heav'nly Hill; Looks like a Lamb that has been slain, And wears his Priesthood still. 8 He ever lives to intercede Before his Father's Face: Give him, my Soul, thy Cause to plead, Nor doubt the Father's Grace.

Just and holy is Thy name; I am all unrighteousness False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: REFUGE

Strive to follow, day by day, Where his footsteps mark the way. 3 Look to him, the Lord of Glory, Tasting death to win thy life; Gazing on that wondrous story, Canst thou falter in the strife? Is it not new life to know That the Lord hath loved thee so? 4 Look to him, and faith shall brighten, Hope shall soar, and love shall burn, Peace once more thy heart shall lighten; Rise, he calleth thee, return! Be not weary on thy way; Jesus is thy strength and stay. Scripture: Job 23:10 Languages: English Tune Title: GRANGE
