Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him First Line: Lord, should we leave thy hallow'd feet Lyrics: 1 Lord, should we leave thy hallow'd feet, To whom should we repair? Where else such holy comforts meet, As spring perennial there? 2 Thou art the way--through thee alone From sin and death we flee: And he who would the Father seek, Must seek him, Lord, by thee. 3 Thou art the truth--thy word alone Sound wisdom can impart: Thou only canst inform the mind, And purify the heart. 4 Thou art the life--the rending tomb Proclaims thy conqu'ring arm: And those who put their trust in thee, Nor death nor hell shall harm. 5 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.

In the cross of Christ I glory

Author: John Bowring Appears in 1,538 hymnals Topics: Salvation Through Christ Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me. Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the cross the radiance streaming, Adds more lustre to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide. 5 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. Amen. Used With Tune: RATHBUN

Pollock Meter: Irregular Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Salvation Through Christ First Line: Jesus, in Thy dying woes Lyrics: Part I: "Father, forgive them." 1 Jesus, in Thy dying woes, Even while Thy life-blood flows, Craving pardon for Thy foes:-- Hear us, holy Jesus. 2 Saviour, for our pardon sue, When our sins Thy pangs renew, For we know not what we do. Hear us, holy Jesus. 3 Oh, may we, who mercy need, Be like Thee in heart and deed, When with wrong our spirits bleed! Hear us, holy Jesus. Part II "To-day in Paradise." 1 Jesus, pitying the sighs Of the thief, who near Thee dies, Promising him Paradise:-- Hear us, holy Jesus! 2 May we in our guilt and shame, Still Thy love and mercy claim, Calling humbly on Thy name! Hear us, holy Jesus! 3 Oh, remember us who pine, Looking from our cross to Thine; Cheer our souls with hope divine! Hear us, holy Jesus! Part III "Woman, behold thy Son." 1 Jesus, loving to the end Her whose heart Thy sorrows rend, And Thy dearest human friend:-- Hear us, holy Jesus! 2 May we in Thy sorrows share, And for Thee all peril dare, And enjoy Thy tender care! Hear us, holy Jesus! 3 May we all Thy loved ones be, All one holy family, Loving for the love of Thee! Hear us, holy Jesus! Part IV "Why hast Thou forsaken Me?" 1 Jesus, whelmed in fears unknown, With our evil left alone, While no light from heaven is shown:-- Hear us, holy Jesus! 2 When we vainly seem to pray, And our hopes seem far away, In the darkness be our stay! Hear us, holy Jesus! 3 Though no Father seem to hear, Though no light our spirits cheer, Tell our faith that God is near! Hear us, holy Jesus! Part V "I thirst." 1 Jesus, in Thy thirst and pain, While Thy wounds Thy life-blood drain, Thirsting more our love to gain:-- Hear us, holy Jesus! 2 Thirst for us in mercy still; All Thy holy work fulfill-- Satisfy Thy loving will! Hear us, holy Jesus! 3 May we thirst Thy love to know; Lead us in our sin and woe: Where the healing waters flow! Hear us, holy Jesus! Part VI "It is finished." 1 Jesus, all our ransom paid, All Thy Father's will obeyed, By Thy sufferings perfect made:-- Hear us, holy Jesus! 2 Save us in our soul's distress, Be our help to cheer and bless, While we grow in holiness! Hear us, holy Jesus! 3 Brighten all our heavenward way, With an ever holier ray, Till we pass to perfect day! Hear us, holy Jesus! Part VII "Father, into Thy Hands." 1 Jesus, all Thy labor vast, All Thy woe and conflict past, Yielding up Thy soul at last:-- Hear us, holy Jesus! 2 When the death shades round us lower, Guard us from the tempter's power, Keep us in that trial hour! Hear us, holy Jesus! 3 May Thy life and death supply Grace to live and grace to die, Grace to reach the home on high! Hear us, holy Jesus! Amen. Used With Tune: SEPTEM VOCES

Not all the blood of beasts

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 606 hymnals Topics: Salvation Through Christ Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away the stain. 2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away; A sacrifice of nobler name And richer blood than they. 3 My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of Thine, While as a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin. 4 My soul looks back to see The burden Thou didst bear When hanging on the curséd tree, And hopes her guilt was there.
