Christ, of All My Hopes the Ground
Author: Ralph Wardlaw Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 173 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Christ, of all my hopes the ground,
Christ, the spring of all my joy,
still in you may I be found,
still for you my pow'rs employ,
still for you my pow'rs employ.
2 Let your love my heart inflame;
keep your fear before my sight;
be your praise my highest aim;
be your smile my chief delight,
be your smile my chief delight.
3 Fountain of o'erflowing grace,
freely from your fullness give;
till I close my earthly race,
may I prove it "Christ to live,"
may I prove it "Christ to live."
4 Firmly trusting in your blood,
nothing shall my heart confound;
safely I shall pass the flood,
safely reach Immanuel's ground,
safely reach Immanuel's ground.
5 Thus, O thus, an entrance give
to the land of cloudless sky;
having known it "Christ to live,"
let me know it "gain to die,"
let me know it "gain to die."

Christ, of All My Hopes the Ground
Lord, It Is in Thy Tender Care
Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 258 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Lord, it is in thy tender care
whether I die or live;
to love and serve thee is my share,
and this thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, I will be glad
that I may long obey;
if short, yet why should I be sad
to soar to endless day?
3 Christ leads me thro' no darker rooms
than he went thro' before;
all who into God's kingdom come
must enter by this door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet
thy blessed face to see;
for if thy work on earth be sweet,
what will thy glory be?
5 My knowledge of that life is small,
the eye of faith is dim,
but 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
and I shall be with him. Used With Tune: WIGTON

at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee,

Jesus Is All the World to Me
Author: Will L. Thompson Meter: Irregular Appears in 312 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1 Lyrics: 1 Jesus is all the world to me,
my life, my joy, my all;
he is my strength from day to day,
without him I would fall.
When I am sad, to him I go,
no other one can cheer me so;
when I am sad he makes me glad,
he's my friend.
2 Jesus is all the world to me,
my friend in trials sore;
I go to him for blessings, and
he gives them o'er and o'er.
He sends the sunshine and the rain,
he sends the harvest's golden grain,
sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,
he's my friend.
3 Jesus is all the world to me,
and true to him I'll be;
O, how could I this friend deny,
when he's so true to me?
Following him I know I'm right,
he watches o'er me day and night;
following him by day and night,
he's my friend.
4 Jesus is all the world to me,
I want no better friend;
I trust him now, I'll trust him when
life's fleeting days shall end.
Beautiful life with such a friend,
beautiful life that has no end;
eternal life, eternal joy,
he's my friend.

Jesus Is All the World to Me
My gracious Lord, I own thy right

My gracious Lord, I own thy right
Desiring to depart and be with Christ
Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 88 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:23 First Line: While on the verge of life I stand Lyrics: 1 While on the verge of life I stand,
And view the scene on either hand
My spirit struggles with my clay,
And longs to wing its flight away.
2 Where Jesus dwells my soul would be;
And faints my much-lov'd Lord to see;
Earth twine no more about my heart,
For 'tis far better to depart.
3 Come, ye angelic envoys, come,
And lead the willing pilgrim home!
Ye know the way to Jesus' throne,
Source of my joys, and of your own.
4 That blissful interview, how sweet
To fall transported at his feet!
Rais'd in his arms to view his face,
Thro' the full beamings of his grace!
5 As with a Seraph's voice to sing!
To fly as on a cherub's wing!
Performing, with unweary'd hands,
The present Savior's high commands.
6 Yet with these prospects full in sight,
We'll wait thy signal for the flight;
For while thy service we pursue,
We find a heaven in all we do.

More Love to Thee, O Christ
Author: Elizabeth Payson Prentiss Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4.4 Appears in 829 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1 Lyrics: 1 More love to Thee, O Christ,
More love to Thee!
Hear Thou the prayer I make
On bended knee.
This is my earnest plea:
More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee!
2 Once earthly joy I craved,
Sought peace and rest;
Now Thee alone I seek,
Give what is best.
This all my prayer shall be:
More love, O Christ to Thee;
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee!
3 Then shall my latest breath
Whisper Thy praise;
This be the parting cry
My heart shall raise;
This still its prayer shall be:
More love, O Christ to Thee;
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee!

Nearer, Still Nearer
Author: Lelia N. Morris Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 First Line: Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart Lyrics: 1 Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art;
Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast,
Shelter me safe in that “Haven of Rest,”
Shelter me safe in that “Haven of Rest.”
2 Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
Naught as an off'ring to Jesus, my King;
Only my sinful, now contrite heart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.
3 Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine,
Sin with its follies I gladly resign;
All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord, crucified,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord, crucified.
4 Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last,
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
Thro' endless ages ever to be
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee!

Let Thoughtless Thousands Choose the Road
Author: Joseph Hoskins Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Let thoughtless thousands choose the road
That leads the soul away from God;
This happiness, dear Lord, be mine,
To live and die entirely Thine.
2 On Christ, by faith, I fain would live,
From Him my life, my all, receive,
To Him devote my fleeting hours,
Serve Him alone with all my pow'rs.
3 Christ is my everlasting All;
To Him I look, on Him I call;
He will my ev'ry want supply
In time and thro' eternity.
4 Soon will the Lord, my Life, appear;
Soon shall I end my trials here,
Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain.
To live is Christ, to die is gain.
5 Soon will the saints in glory meet,
Soon walk through every golden street,
And sing on every blissful plain:
To live is Christ, to die is gain.
Amen. Topics: The Last Things Judgment Used With Tune: WAREHAM
