Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go

Appears in 337 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go; Thy word into our minds instil: And make our lukewarm hearts to glow With lowly love and fervent will. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 2 The day has gone, its hours have run, And Thou hast taken count of all, The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, the frequent fall. Through lifs's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 4 Labour is sweet, for Thou hast toil'd; And care is light, for Thou hast cared; Ah! never! let our works be soil'd With strife, or by deceit ensnarled. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 5 For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto Thee we call; O let Thy mercy make us glad; Thou art our Jesus, and our all. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 6 Sweet Saviour, bless us; night is come; Through night and darkness near us be, Good angels watch about our home, And we are one day nearer Thee. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. Amen. Topics: Evening; Festivals Used With Tune: STELLA

Author: Rev. John Wesley; Rev. Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 348 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; O knit my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there! Thine wholly, Thine alone, I'd live, Myself to Thee entirely give. 2 O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but Thy pure love alone; O may Thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown! All coldness from my heart remove; May every act, word, thought, be love. 3 O Love, how gracious is Thy way! All fear before Thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er Thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee. Amen.

O Love divine, what hast thou done!

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 150 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Love divine, what hast thou done! The incarnate God hath died for me! The Father's well-beloved Son Bore all my sins upon the tree! The Son of God for me hath died, My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 2 Behold him, all ye passers by The bleeding Prince of life and peace! Come, sinners, see your Saviour die, And say, was ever grief like his? Come, feel with me his blood applied, My Lord, my Love, is crucified: 3 Is crucified for me and you, To bring us rebels back to God; Believe, believe the record true, Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood; Pardon for all flows from his side, My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 4 Then let us sit beneath his cross, And gladly catch the healing stream; All things for him account but loss, And give up all our hearts to him! Of nothing think or speak beside, My Lord, my Love, is crucified. Topics: Christ Sufferings and Death Used With Tune: STELLA

Father, Who Dost Thy Children Feed

Author: George Body Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Father, who dost Thy children feed With manna rainèd from above; Who dost the saving chalice give, Filled by Thy hand in wondrous love: We praise Thee for Thy mercies sent To us in this great sacrament. 2. O Word made flesh, whom we adore, The living Bread sent down from Heav’n, Whose wondrous passion here shown forth Is the great pledge of sin forgiven; We praise Thee for Thy mercies sent To us in this great sacrament. 3. O Holy Spirit, who dost reign These earthly elements to bless, Making the bread His flesh to be, The wine His blood, as we confess; We praise Thee for Thy mercies sent To us in this great sacrament. 4. Ye holy angels, who, with us, Around God’s altar lowly bow, Adoring there the Crucified, Whose precious death is pleaded now, O praise Him for His mercies sent To us in this great sacrament! 5. Ye blessèd saints, enthroned on high, Who once the paths of earth did tread, Who reached in safety God’s abode, As strengthened by this living bread; O praise Him for His mercies sent To us in this great sacrament! 6. O Holy Father, Holy Son, And Holy Spirit, whom we love, Guide, strengthen, save us here below, And bring us to our home above, To praise Thee for Thy mercies sent To us in this great sacrament!
