Heal Us, Immanuel, Hear Our Prayer

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Doubts Lyrics: 1 Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer; we wait to feel your touch; deep-wounded souls to you repair, and, Savior, we are such. 2 Our faith is feeble, we confess; we faintly trust your word; but will you pity us the less? Be that far from you, Lord! 3 Remember him who once applied with trembling for relief; "Lord, I believe," with tears he cried; "O help my unbelief!" 4 She, too, who touched you in the press, and healing virtue stole, was answered, "Daughter, go in peace: your faith hath made you whole." 5 Like her, with hopes and fears we come to touch you if we may; O send us not despairing home; send none unhealed away. Used With Tune: BEATITUDO

Hail, Thou once despised Jesus!

Hail, Thou agonizing Saviour, Bearer of our sin and shame! By Thy merit we find favor; Life is given through Thy name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, All our-sins on Thee were laid; By almighty love anointed, Thou hast full atonement made. All Thy people are forgiven Through the virtue of Thy blood: Opened is the gate of heaven, Peace is made 'twixt man and God. 3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory, There forever to abide; All the heavenly host adore Thee, Seated at Thy Father's side. There for sinners Thou art pleading, There Thou dost our place prepare, Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing, Thou art worthy to receive; Highest praises, without ceasing, Right it is for us to give. Help, ye bright angelic spirits, All your sweetest, noblest lays, Help to sing our Saviour's merits, Help to chant Immanuel's praise. Used With Tune: MIGHTY LORD, VICTORIOUS SAVIOUR!

Jesus Christ, my sure defence

Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Doubt and Fear Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure defence And my Saviour, ever liveth; Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope it giveth, Though the night of death be fraught Still with many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives! I, too, unto life shall waken; He will have me where He is: Should my courage then be shaken? Should I fear? Or can the Head Rise and leave its members dead? 3 Nay, too closely am I bound Unto Him by hope forever; Faith's strong hand the Rock hath found, Grasped it, and will leave it never: Not the ban of death can part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 I shall see God with these eyes, Shall behold my blessed Savior; I, the selfsame, shall arise, In my flesh see God forever; Then shall wholly disappear Frailties that oppress me here. 5 What now sickens, mourns, and sighs, Christ with Him to glory bringeth; Earthly is the seed and dies, Heavenly from the grave it springeth; Natural is the death we die, Spiritual, our life on high. 6 Saviour, draw away our heart From all pleasures base and hollow; Let us there with Thee have part, Here on earth Thy footsteps follow; Fix our hearts beyond the skies, Whither we ourselves would rise. Used With Tune: JESUS CHRIST, MY SURE DEFENCE

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,326 hymnals Topics: Doubt and Fear Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Saviour, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me-- Thou art not, like them, untrue. Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials sore may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. 3 Go then, earthly fame and treasure! Come disaster, scorn, and pain! In Thy service pain is pleasure; With Thy favor loss is gain. I have called Thee Abba, Father; I have stayed my heart on Thee: Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me. 4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find, in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thine earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Used With Tune: WORLD, FAREWELL! OF THE I'M WEARY

O how shall I receive Thee

Meter: 7.6 Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Doubt and Fear Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee, How greet Thee, Lord, aright? All nations long to see Thee, My hope, my heart's delight! O kindle, Lord, most holy, Thy lamp within my breast, To do in spirit lowly All that may please Thee best. 2 Thy Zion palms is strewing, And branches fresh and fair; My heart, its powers renewing, An anthem shall prepare. My soul puts off her sadness Thy glories to proclaim: With all her strength and gladness She fain would serve Thy name. 3 I lay in fetters groaning; Thou comest to set me free! I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou comest to honor me; A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me, As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thy incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me. Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed, And tremble at your doom: He who alone can cheer you, Is standing at the door; In pity He is near you, And bids you weep no more. 6 Ye who, with guilty terror, Are trembling, fear no more; With love and grace the Saviour Shall you to hope restore. He comes to heal the spirit That mourneth, sin-oppressed, He comes, that we inherit Eternal joy and rest. 7 He comes to judge the nations, A terror to His foes, A light of consolations And blessed hope to those Who love the Lord's appearing: O glorious Sun, now come, Send forth Thy beams so cheering And guide us safely home!
