Christ a Redeemer and Friend

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 61 hymnals First Line: Poor, weak and worthless though I am Lyrics: 1. Poor, weak and worthless though I am I have a rich almighty friend; Jesus, the Savior, is His name; He freely loves, and without end. 2. He ransomed me from hell with blood, And by His power my foes controlled; He found me wandering far from God, And brought me to His chosen fold. 3. He cheers my heart, my wants supplies, And says that I shall shortly be, Enthroned with Him above the skies; O what a Friend is Christ to me! 4. But, ah! my inmost spirit mourns; And well my eyes with tears may swim, To think of my perverse returns: I’ve been a faithless friend to Him. 5. Often my gracious friend I grieve, Neglect, distrust, and disobey; And often Satan’s lies believe Sooner than all my Friend can say. 6. He bids me always freely come, And promises whate’er I ask: But I am straitened, cold and dumb, And count my privilege a task 7. Before the world that hates His course, My treacherous heart has throbbed with shame; Loath to forego the worlds applause, I hardly dare avow His name. 8. Sure, were I not most vile and base, I could not thus my friend requite! And were not He the God of grace, He’d frown and spurn me from His sight.

Trust In The Lord With All Your Heart

Author: Susan H. Peterson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; Your mind’s own wisdom you must reject. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will e’er your paths direct. 2 Don’t be conceited or think you are wise. Reverence the Lord; turn away from all wrong. This will bring health to your body and soul; You’ll be built up and made fit and strong. 3 Honor the Lord with all your wealth, And the firstfruits from all your fields. Then all your barns will be filled and o’erflow; Your vats will new wine always yield. 4 Do not despise the Lord’s discipline. Resent it not; His rebuke never shun. God only disciplines those He loves, Just as a father treats his dear son. 5 Lord, I’m Your child; I will trust You alone. I’ll look to You for Your wisdom each day. I pledge the first part of all that I earn, Your rod I’ll welcome whene’er I stray. Used With Tune: HAMBURG

Manda tu Espíritu, Señor

Ao Contemplar a Rude Cruz

Your Supper, Lord, Before Us Spread

The hour of my departure's come

Pour Down Thy Spirit from Above

When Jesus, our great Master, came

Schau' ich zu jenem Kreuze hin
