The name "Jesus"

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 276 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: The Saviour! oh, what endless charms Lyrics: 1 The Saviour! oh, what endless charms Dwell in the blissful sound!

The Perfect Pattern

Author: John Newton Appears in 225 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Let worldly minds the world pursue Lyrics: 1 Let worldly minds the world pursue, It has no charms for me; Once I admired its trifles too, But grace has set me free. As by the light of opening day, The stars are all concealed; So earthly pleasures fade away, When Jesus is revealed. 2 Creatures no more divide my choice, I bid them all depart; His name, and love, and gracious voice. Have fixed my roving heart. But may I hope that thou wilt own A worthless worm like me? Now, Lord! I would be thine alone, And wholly live to thee. Scripture: Psalm 16:8 Used With Tune: VOC DILECTI

Willing both in hand and heart, Every law of love fulfilling. Every comfort to impart: Ever bringing offerings meet, Suppliants at thy mercy-seat. 5 Then shall sickness, sin, and sadness To thy healing power yield; Till the sick and sad in gladness, Rescued, ransomed, cleansed, healed, Shall the saints together meet, Pardoned at thy judgment seat!
