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!
Its influence every fear disarms,
And spreads sweet comfort round.
The almighty Former of the skies
Stooped to our vile abode;
While angels viewed with wondering eyes
And hailed the incarnate God.
2 Oh, the rich depths of love divine!
Of bliss a boundless store!
Dear Saviour, let me call thee mine;
I cannot wish for more.
On thee alone my hope relies,
Beneath thy cross I fall;
My Lord, my Life, my Sacrifice,
My Saviour, and my All! Scripture: Psalm 3:8 Used With Tune: ATHENS
The name "Jesus"
Christ, a True Friend
Author: Newton Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 688 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: One there is above all others 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 his blood;
But our Jesus died to have us
Reconciled in him to God.
This was boundless love indeed!
Jesus is a Friend in need!
3 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 praise thee as we ought.
Christ, a True Friend
The Perfect Pattern
Author: John Newton Appears in 227 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
The Perfect Pattern
"He knoweth our frame"
Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Yes, he knows the way is dreary Lyrics: 1 Yes, he knows the way is dreary,
Knows the weakness of our frame,
Knows that hand and heart are weary,
He in all points felt the same.
He is near to help and bless;
Be not weary, onward press.
2 Look to him, who once was willing
All his glory to resign,
That, for thee the law fulfilling,
All his merit might be thine.
Strive to follow, day by day,
Where his footsteps mark the way.
3 Look to him, the Lord of Glory,
Tasting death to win thy life;
Gazing on that wondrous story,
Canst thou falter in the strife?
Is it not new life to know
That the Lord hath loved thee so?
4 Look to him, and faith shall brighten,
Hope shall soar, and love shall burn,
Peace once more thy heart shall lighten;
Rise, he calleth thee, return!
Be not weary on thy way;
Jesus is thy strength and stay. Scripture: Job 23:10 Used With Tune: GRANGE
"He knoweth our frame"
"Way, Truth, and Life"
Author: George W. Doane Appears in 606 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Thou art the Way: to thee alone Lyrics: 1 Thou art the Way: to thee alone
From sin and death we flee;
And he who would the Father seek,
Must seek him, Lord, by thee.
2 Thou art the Truth: thy word alone
True wisdom can impart;
Thou only canst inform the mind,
And purify the heart.
3 Thou art the Life: the rending tomb
Proclaims thy conquering arm;
And those who put their trust in thee
And death nor hell shall harm.
4 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life:
Grant us that Way to know;
That Truth to keep, that Life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow. Scripture: John 14:6 Used With Tune: GRIGG

I Samuel 3:10
Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 60 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Master, speak! thy servant heareth Lyrics: 1 Master, speak! thy servant heareth,
Longing for thy gracious word,
Longing for thy voice that cheereth;
Master, let it now be heard.
I am listening, Lord, for thee;
What hast thou to say to me?
2 Often through my heart is pealing
Many another voice than thine;
Many an unwilled echo stealing
From the walls of this thy shrine.
Let thy longed-for accents fall;
Master, speak! and silence all.
3 Master, speak! I do not doubt thee,
Though to tearfully I plead;
Saviour, Shepherd! oh, without thee
Life would be a blank indeed.
But I long for fuller light,
Deeper love and clearer sight.
4 Speak to me by name, O Master,
Let me know it is to me;
Speak, that I may follow faster,
With a step more firm and free,
Where the Shepherd leads the flock.
In the shadow of the rock! Scripture: Psalm 25:14 Used With Tune: GRANGE
I Samuel 3:10
The true Test
Author: John G. Whittier Appears in 263 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: We may not climb the heavenly steeps Lyrics: 1 We may not climb the heavenly steeps
To bring the Lord Christ down;
In vain we search the lowest deeps,
For him no depths can drown.
2 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is he;
And faith has yet its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
3 The healing of the seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain;
We touch him in life's throng and press,
And we are whole again.
4 Through him the first fond prayers are said
Our lips of childhood frame;
The last low whispers of our dead
Are burdened with his name.
5 O Lord and Master of us all,
Whate'er our name or sign,
We own thy sway, we hear thy call,
We test our lives by thine! Scripture: Luke 8:45 Used With Tune: SERENITY

A Living Christ

Lives--and heavenly life conveys;
Lives--and glory now surrounds me;

Live and sing redeeming love! Used With Tune: WILMOT

Psalm 23
Author: Francis Rous Appears in 585 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want Lyrics: 1 The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want;
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; he leadeth me
The quiet waters by.
2 My soul he doth restore again;
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
Ev'n for his own name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For thou art with me, and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
4 My table thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy, all my life,
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house for evermore
My dwelling-place shall be. Scripture: Psalm 23:2 Used With Tune: EBEN

Healing the Sick
Author: Godfrey Thring Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Thou to whom the sick and dying Lyrics: 1 Thou to whom the sick and dying
Ever came, nor came in vain,
Still with healing word replying
To the weary cry of pain;
Hear us, Jesus, as we meet,
Suppliants at thy mercy-seat.
2 Every care and every sorrow,
Be it great, or be it small;
Yesterday, to-day, to-morrow,
When, where'er, it may befall;
Lay we humbly at thy feet,
Suppliants round thy mercy-seat.
3 Still the weary, sick, and dying
Need a brother's sister's care;
On thy higher help relying,
May we now their burden share:
Bringing all our offerings meet,
Suppliants to thy mercy-seat.
4 May each child of thine be willing.
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!
Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22 Used With Tune: MURIEL
