(Gadsby's Hymns) #548 (1844) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: A Physician, I learn, abides in this place Lyrics: 1 A Physician, I learn, abides in this place, Profound in his wisdom, abounding in grace; His skill in all cases infallible is; Effectual his medicines, nor ever did miss. 2 Poor sinners tormented with sickness or sore Are heartily welcome to knock at his door; He will not deceive them, nor spurn them away, But freely will heal them by night or by day. 3 All plagues and distempers, all sickness and pain, He cures without money; nor will he disdain The vilest of sinners, that unto him go, But surely will heal them, and perfectly too. 4 [The strong and the healthy, in vain ’tis to ask To try this Physician; they’d think it a task; They feel no disorder, no danger they see, But boast of a heart that from sickness is free.] 5 [Nor will the afflicted to Jesus apply, Till quacks give them up, and they think they must die; When pockets are emptied, and carnal hopes past, To Christ they will come, and he’ll cure them at last.] Languages: English

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.

Join all the glorious names

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CL (1766) Topics: Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious Names Of Wisdom, Love, and Pow'r, That ever Mortal knew, That Angels ever bore: All are too mean To speak his Worth, Too mean to set My Saviour forth. 2 But O what gentle Terms, What condescending Ways Doth our Redeemer use To teach his heav'nly Grace! Mine Eyes with Joy And Wonder see What Forms of Love He bears for me. [3 Array'd in mortal Flesh, He like an Angel stands, And holds the Promises And Pardons in his Hands; Commission'd from His Father's Throne, To make his Grace To Mortals known.] [4 Great Prophet of my God, My Tongue would bless thy Name; By Thee the joyful News Of our Salvation came; The joyful News Of Sins forgiv'n, Of Hell subdu'd, And peace with Heav'n.] [5 Be thou my Counsellor, My Pattern, and my Guide; And through this desart Land Still keep me near thy Side. O let my Feet Ne'er run astray, Nor rove, nor seek The crooked Way!] [6 I love my Shepherd's Voice, His watchful Eyes shall keep My wand'ring Soul among The Thousands of his Sheep: He feeds his Flock, He calls their Names, His Bosom bears The tender Lambs.] [7 To this dear Surety's Hand Will I commit my Cause; He answers and fulfills His Father's broken Laws. Behold my Soul At freedom set! My Surety paid The dreadful Debt.] [8 Jesus, my great High-Priest, Offer'd his Blood and dy'd; My guilty Conscience seeks No Sacrifice beside. His pow'rful Blood Did once atone? And now it pleads Before the Throne.] [9 My Advocate appears For my Defence on high; The Father bows his Ears, And lays his Thunder by. Not all that Hell Or Sin can say Shall turn his Heart, His Love, away.] [10 My dear Almighty Lord, My Conqu'eror and my King, Thy Scepter, and thy Sword, Thy reigning Grace I sing. Thine is the Pow'r; Behold I sit In willing Bonds Before thy Feet.] [11 Now let my Soul arise, And tread the Tempter down; My Captain leads me forth To Conquest and a Crown. A feeble Saint Shall win the Day, Though Death and Hell Obstruct the Way.] 12 Should all the Hosts of Death, And Pow'rs of Hell unknown, Put their most dreadful Forms Of Rage and Mischief on; I shall be safe, For Christ displays Superior Pow'r, And Guardian Grace Languages: English

"He knoweth our frame"

Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: Laudes Domini #378 (1888) Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Yes, he knows the way is dreary Lyrics: 1 Yes, he knows the way is dreary, Knows the weakness of our frame, Knows that hand and heart are weary, He in all points felt the same. He is near to help and bless; Be not weary, onward press. 2 Look to him, who once was willing All his glory to resign, That, for thee the law fulfilling, All his merit might be thine. 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
