Majestic sweetness sits enthroned

Author: Samuel Stennett, 1727 - 95 Appears in 941 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Saviour's brow; His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o'erflow, His lips with grace o'erflow. 2 No mortal can with him compare, Among the sons of men; Fairer is he than all the fair That fill the heavenly train, That fill the heavenly train. 3 To heaven, the place of his abode, He brings my weary feet, Shows me the glories of my God, And makes my joys complete, And makes my joys complete. 4 Since from his bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be thine, Lord, they should all be thine. Amen. Used With Tune: ORTONVILLE

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793 - 1847 Appears in 1,756 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Abide with me, fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide; When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour; What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. A-men. 4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me! 5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Amen, Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Jesus, priceless Treasure

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Johann Franck, 1618 - 77 Appears in 140 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless Treasure, Source of purest pleasure, Truest friend to me; Long my heart hath panted, Till it well-nigh fainted, Thirsting after thee. Thine I am, O spotless Lamb, I will suffer nought to hide thee, Ask for nought beside thee. 2 In thine arm I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, God dispels our fear; Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us: Jesus will not fail us. 3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within; Yea, whate'er we here must bear, Still is thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless Treasure!

One there is above all others

Author: John Newton, 1725 - 1807 Appears in 691 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend; His is love beyond a brother’s, Costly, free, and knows no end; They who once his kindness prove Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed their blood? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in him to God; This was boundless love indeed; Jesus is a friend in need. 3 When he lived on earth abasèd, 'Friend of sinners' was his Name; Now, above all glory raisèd, He rejoices in the same; Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love. We, alas, forget too often What a friend we have above; But when home our souls are brought We will love thee as we ought. Used With Tune: DANA
