How happy is the Christian's state!

Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: For Person joined in Fellowship The Happiness of a real Christian Lyrics: 1 How happy is the Christian's state! His sins are all forgiven; A cheering ray confirms the grace, And lifts his hopes to heaven. 2 Though in the rugged path of life He heaves the pensive sigh, Yet, trusting in his God, he finds, Delivering grace is nigh. 3 If to prevent his wandering steps He feels the chastening rod, The gentle stroke shall bring him back To his forgiving God.

Come, let us anew

Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: For Persons joined in Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Come, let us anew Our journey pursue, With vigour arise, And press to our permanent place in the skies: Of heavenly birth, Tho' wand'irng on earth, This is not our place, But strangers and pilgrims ourselves we confess. 2 At Jesus' call, We give up our All; And still we forego, For Jesus's sake, our enjoyment below: No longing we find For the country behind; But onward we move, And still we are seeking a country above. 3 A country of joy Without any alloy, We thither repair, Our heart and our treasure already are there. We march hand in hand To Immanuel's land; No matter what cheer We meet with on earth, for eternity's near! 4 The rougher our way, The shorter our stay; The tempests that rise Shall gloriously hurry our souls to the skies: The fiercer the blast, The sooner 'tis past; The troubles that come, Shall come to our rescue, and hasten us home.

Jesu, great Shepherd of the sheep

Appears in 136 hymnals Topics: For Persons joined in Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Jesu, great Shepherd of the sheep, To thee for help we fly: Thy little flock in safety keep! For O the wolf is nigh! 2 He comes, of hellish malice full, To scatter, tear, and slay: He seizes ev'ry straggling soul, As his own lawful prey. 3 Us into thy protection take, And gather with thy arm! Unless the fold we first forsake, The wolf can never harm. 4 We laugh to scorn his cruel pow'r, While by our Shepherd's side; The sheep he never can devour, Unless he first divide. 5 O do not suffer him to part The souls that here agree! But make us of one mind and heart, And keep us one in thee! 6 Together let us sweetly live! Together let us die! And each a starry crown receive, And reign above the sky.
