Jesus, Lover of my soul

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 3,398 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Savior, hide, Till the storm of life be past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last. Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me: All my trust on Thee is stayed; All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cleanse from every 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. Used With Tune: HOLLINGSIDE

Hark! the sound of holy voices

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 238 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Alleluia, alleluia, Alleluia, Lord, to thee: Multitude which none can number, Like the stars in glory stands, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hands. Patriarch, and holy prophet, Who prepared the way for Christ, King, apostle, saint, confessor, Martyr and evangelist; 273 Saintly maiden, godly matron, Widows who have watched to prayer, Joined in holy concert, singing To the Lord of all, are there. Marching with thy cross, their banner, They have triumphed, following Thee, the Captain of salvation, Thee, their Savior and their King. Gladly, Lord, with thee they suffered; Gladly, Lord, with thee they died; And by death to life immortal They were born and glorified. Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite: Love and peace they taste for ever, And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessèd Trinity.

Fairest Lord Jesus

Author: Anonymous Meter: 5.6.8.5.5.8 Appears in 624 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature, O thou of God and man the Son; Thee will I cherish, thee will I honor, Thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown. Fair are the meadows, Fairer still the woodlands, Robed in the blooming garb of spring: Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, Who makes the woeful heart to sing. Fair is the sunshine, Fairer still the moonlight, And all the twinkling, starry host: Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer, Than all the angels heaven can boast.

There is a blessed home

Author: Henry W. Baker Appears in 194 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: There is a blessed home Beyond this land of woe, Where trials never come, Nor tears of sorrow flow; Where faith is lost in sight, And patient hope is crowned, And everlasting light Its glory throws around. 470 There is a land of peace: Good angels know it well; Glad songs that never cease Within its portals swell; Around its glorious throne Ten thousand saints adore Christ, with the Father One, And Spirit, evermore. O joy all joys beyond, To see the Lamb who died, And count each sacred wound In hands, and feet, and side! To give to him the praise Of every triumph won, And sing through endless days The great things he hath done! Look up, ye saints of God! Nor fear to tread below The path your Savior trod Of daily toil and woe! Wait but a little while In uncomplaining love! His own most gracious smile Shall welcome you above.

He who would valiant be

Author: John Bunyan, 1628-1688 Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Appears in 165 hymnals Topics: Sunday Shcools General Use Lyrics: He who would valiant be 'Gainst all disaster, Let him in constancy Follow the Master. There's no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent To be a pilgrim. Who so beset him round With dismal stories, Do but themselves confound, His strength the more is. No foes shall stay his might, Though he with giants fight; He will make good his right To be a pilgrim. Since, Lord, thou dost defend Us with thy Spirit We know we at the end Shall life inherit. Then fancies flee away! I'll fear not what men say, I'll labour night and day To be a pilgrim. Used With Tune: ST. DUNSTAN'S

Oft in danger, oft in woe

Let sour drooping hearts be glad; March in heavenly armour clad; Fight, nor think the battle long, Soon shall victory tune your song. Let not sorrow dim your eye, Soon shall every tear be dry; Let not fears your course impede, Great your strength, if great your need. Onward then to battle move, More than conquerors ye shall prove; Though opposed by many a foe, Christian soldiers, onward go. Used With Tune: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

I think when I read that sweet story of old

Author: Jemima Luke Meter: 11.8.12.9 Appears in 879 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How he called little children as lambs to his fold, I should like to have been with them then. I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, That his arms had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen his kind look when he said, "Let the little ones come unto me." Yet still to his footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in his love; And if I thus earnestly seek him below, I shall see him and hear him above, In that beautiful place he has gone to prepare For all who are washed and forgiven; And many dear children shall be with him there, For "of such is the kingdom of heaven." But thousands and thousands who wander and fall, Never heard of that heavenly home; I wish they could know there is room for them all, And that Jesus has bid them to come. Used With Tune: LUKE

When we seek relief From a long-felt grief; When temptations come alluring, Make us patient and enduring; Show us that bright shore Where we weep no more. Jesus, still lead on, Till our rest be won: Heavenly Leader, still direct us, Still support, console, protect us, Till we safely stand In our Fatherland. Amen. Used With Tune: ROCHELLE

Songs of praise the angels sang

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 550 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with alleluias rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When he spake and it was done. Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose when He Captive led captivity. Heaven and earth must pass away; Songs of praise shall crown that day: God will make new heavens and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. And shall man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come? No; the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise. Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 233 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ.
