By Various Maxims, Forms And rules

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12034 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 By various maxims, forms and rules, That pass for wisdom in the schools, I strove my passion to restrain; But all my efforts proved in vain. 2 But since the Savior I have known My rules are all reduced to one: To keep my Lord, by faith, in view; This strength supplies, and motives too. 3 I see Him lead a suffering life, So patient midst reproach and strife; And from His pattern courage take To bear, and suffer, for His sake. 4 Upon the cross I see Him bleed, And by the fight from guilt am freed; This sight destroys the life of sin, And quickens heav’nly life within. 5 To look to Jesus as He rose Confirms my faith, disarms my foes; I Satan shame and overcome, By pointing to my Savior’s tomb. 6 Exalted on His glorious throne, I see Him make my cause His own; Then all my anxious cares subside, For Jesus lives, and will provide. 7 I see Him look with pity down, And hold in view the conqueror’s crown; If pressed with griefs and cares before, My soul revives, and asks no more. 8 By faith I see the hour at hand When in His presence I shall stand; Then it will be my endless bliss, To see Him where, and as He is.
