Jesus Lives! No Longer Now

Author: Frances E. Cox; C. F. Gellert Meter: 7.8.7.7.7.7 Appears in 279 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus lives! No longer now Can thy terrors, death, appall us; Jesus lives! By this we know From the grave He will recall us. Brighter scenes will there commence; This shall be our confidence. 2 Jesus lives! To Him the throne High o'er heav'n and earth is given; We shall go where He is gone, Live and reign with Him in heaven; God is pledged; weak doubtings, hence! This shall be our confidence. 3 Jesus lives! We know full well, Naught from us His love shall sever; Life, nor death, nor pow'rs of hell, Part us now from Christ forever. God will be a sure defence: This shall be our confidence. 4 Jesus lives! And now is death But the gate of life immortal; This shall calm our trembling breath When we pass its gloomy portal; Faith shall cry as fails each sense: Lord, Thou art our confidence.

Here is hope for all who grieve: Jesus sinners doth receive. 2 We deserve but grief and shame, Yet His words, rich grace revealing, Pardon, peace, and life proclaim; Here our ills have perfect healing. Firmly in these words believe: Jesus sinners doth receive. 3 Sheep that from the fold did stray No true shepherd e'er forsaketh; Weary souls that lost their way Christ, the Shepherd, gently taketh In His arms that they may live: Jesus sinners doth receive. 4 I, a sinner, come to Thee With a penitent confession. Savior, mercy show to me; Grant for all my sins remission. Let these words my soul relieve: Jesus sinners doth receive. 5 Oh, how blest it is to know: Were as scarlet my transgression, It shall be as white as snow By Thy blood and bitter passion: For these words I now believe: Jesus sinners doth receive. 6 Now my conscience is at peace; From the Law I stand acquitted. Christ hath purchased my release And my ev'ry sin remitted. Naught remains my soul to grieve: Jesus sinners doth receive. 7 Jesus sinners doth receive; Also I have been forgiven; And when I this earth must leave, I shall find an open heaven. Dying, still to Him I cleave: Jesus sinners doth receive.

Naught shall me of Him bereave, Jesus I will never leave. 3. Though my sight shall pass away, Hearing, taste, and feeling fail me; Though my life’s last light of day Shall o’ertake and sore assail me; When His summons I receive, Jesus I will never leave. 4. Nor will I my Jesus leave When at last I shall come thither Where His saints He will receive, Where in bliss they live together. Endless joy to me He’ll give, Jesus I will never leave. 5. Not for earth’s vain joys I crave Nor, without him, Heaven’s pleasure; Jesus, who my soul did save, Evermore shall be my Treasure. He redemption did achieve, Jesus I will never leave.

Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light. 3 O Lord Jesus, grant that we There may live where it is living, And the blissful pastures see That its heav'nly food are giving. Lost awhile our treasured love, Gained forever, safe above. Amen. Topics: The Last Things Death and Burial Scripture: Matthew 18:2 Used With Tune: MEINEN JESUM LASS' ICH NICHT

Jesus ! great and wondrous Star

Author: Edmann Neumeister; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus! great and wondrous Star, Both from Jacob's line and heaven, Festive gifts from near and far On this day to Thee are given: Oh! accept most graciously What I humbly offer Thee. 2 Saba bringeth gold to Thee; Lord, I give what thou hast given: gold of faith receive from me-- Precious gold that counts in heaven! Prove it, purge it free from dross In the furnace of the cross. 3 Take the frankincense of prayer; May it prove a sweet oblation! Heart and lips shall everywhere Strive to meet Thy approbation; Hear and heed my prayer, and then Seal it with Thy "Yea: Amen!" 4 Take contrition, bitter myrrh; O how sorely my sins grieve me! Pardon, healing, peace restore; Thou art true, and wilt relieve me. Lord, I praise Thee! and believe Thou my offering dost receive. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Used With Tune: LUBECK

Heavenward still our pathway tends

Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox; Benjamin Schmolk Meter: 7.8.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenward still our pathway tends, Here on earth we are but strangers, Till our road in Canaan ends, Safely passed this wild of dangers: Here we but as pilgrims rove, For our home is there above. 2 Heavenward still, my soul, ascend! Thou art one of heaven's creations; Earth can ne'er give aim or end Fit to fill thy aspirations; And a heaven-enlightened mind Ever turns, its Source to find. 3 Heavenward still! God calls to me, In His Word so loudly speaking; Glimpses in that Word I see Of the home I'm ever seeking; While my heart that call attends, Still to heaven my path ascends. 4 Heavenward still my spirit wends, That fair land by faith exploring; Heavenward still my heart ascends, Sun and moon and stars outsoaring: Their faint rays in vain would try With the light of heaven to vie. 5 Heavenward still, when life shall close, Death to my true home shall guide me: Then, triumphant o'er my woes, Lasting bliss shall God provide me. Christ Himself the way has led; Joyful in His steps I tread. 6 Still then heavenward! heavenward still! This shall be my watchword ever: Heaven's delights my heart shall fill, Chasing joys that filled it never. Heavenward still my thoughts shall run, Till the gate of heaven is won.
