My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less
Author: Edward Mote Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,096 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
No merit of my own I claim,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In ev'ry high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
3 His oath, His covenant and blood,
Support me in the raging flood;
When ev'ry earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
4 When judgment's trump at last shall sound,
O may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
I faultless stand before the throne.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Amen. Used With Tune: MELITA
My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less
Deck Thyself, My Soul, with Gladness
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Miss Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper Lyrics: 1 Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness,
Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness,
Come into the day-light's splendor,
There with joy thy praises render
Unto Him, whose grace unbounded
Hath this wondrous banquet founded;
High o'er all the earth He reigneth,
Yet to dwell with thee He deigneth.
2 Hasten as a bride to meet Him,
And with loving reverence greet Him,
For with words of life immortal
Now He knocketh at thy portal;
Open wide the gates before Him,
Saying, while thou dost adore Him,
"Suffer, Lord, that I receive Thee,
And I nevermore will leave Thee."
3 He who costly goods desireth
To obtain, much gold requireth;
But to freely give the treasure
Of Thy love is Thy good pleasure,
For on earth there is no coffer
Which as payment we might offer
For this cup Thy blood containing,
And this manna on us raining.
4 Ah! how hungers all my spirit
For the love I do not merit!
Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging,
Thought upon this food with longing;
In the battle, well-nigh worsted,
For this cup of life have thirsted,
For the Friend who here invites us
And to God Himself unites us.
5 Sun, who all my life dost brighten,
Light, who dost my soul enlighten,
Joy, the sweetest man e'er knoweth,
Fount, whence all my being floweth,
At Thy feet I cry, my Maker,
Let me be a fit partaker
Of this blessed food from heaven,
For our good, Thy glory, given.
6 Lord, Thy fervent love hath driven
Thee to leave Thy throne in heaven,
For us on the cross to languish,
And to die in bitter anguish,
To forgo all joy and gladness,
And to shed Thy blood in sadness,
Which we drink now; grant that never
We forget Thy love, dear Saviour!
7 Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray Thee,
Let me gladly here obey Thee;
By Thy love I am invited,
Be Thy love with love requited;
From this banquet let me measure,
Lord, how vast and deep love's treasure;
Through the gifts Thou here dost give me
As Thy guest in heaven receive me.
Amen.

Lord, Cause Thy Face On Us To Shine
Author: Thomas Cotterill Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Ministry Lyrics: 1 Lord, cause Thy face on us to shine,
Give us Thy peace and seal us Thine;
Teach us to prize the means of grace
And love Thine earthly dwelling-place.
2 One is our faith and one our Lord;
One body, Spirit, hope, reward:
May we in one communion be
One with each other, one with Thee.
3 Bless all whose voice salvation brings,
Who minister in holy things;
Our pastors, elders, deacons bless;
Clothe them with zeal and righteousness:
4 Let many in the judgment day,
Turned from the error of their way,
Their hope, their joy, their crown appear:--
Save those who preach and those who hear.
Amen.

Lord, Cause Thy Face On Us To Shine
Thy Table I Approach
Author: M. Loy; G. W. Molanus Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace Holy Communion Lyrics: 1 Thy table I approach,
Dear Savior, hear my prayer,
O let no unrepented sin
Prove hurtful to me there.
2 Lo, I confess my sins
And mourn their wretched bands;
A contrite heart is ever wont
To find grace at Thy hands.
3 Thy body and Thy blood,
Once slain and shed for me,
Are taken at Thy table here--
O wondrous mystery!
4 Ask not how this takes place,
Nor whether it can be;
God can accomplish vastly more
Than seemeth plain to thee.
5 O may I never fail
To thank Thee day and night
For Thy true body and true blood,
O God, my peace and light.
Amen.

Lamp of Our Feet, Whereby We Trace
Author: Bernard Barton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 279 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Word Lyrics: 1 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace
Our path when wont to stray;
Stream from the fount of heav'nly grace,
Brook by the trav'ler's way.
2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed,
True manna from on high;
Our guide and chart, wherein we read
Of realms beyond the sky;
3 Pillar of fire through watches dark,
Or radiant cloud by day;
When waves o'erwhelm our tossing bark,
Our anchor and our stay:
4 Word of the ever-living God,
Will of His glorious Son;
Without Thee, how could earth be trod,
Or heaven itself be won?
5 Lord, grant us all aright to learn
The wisdom it imparts;
And to its heavenly teaching turn
With simple, childlike hearts.
Amen. Scripture: Exodus 14:19-20 Used With Tune: EVAN

Break Thou The Bread Of Life

Dear Lord, to me,
As Thou didst break the loaves
Beside the sea;
Beyond the sacred page
I seek Thee, Lord;
My spirit pants for Thee,
O living Word!

Ever to me,
As Thou didst bless the loaves
By Galilee;
Then shall all bondage cease,
All fetters fall;
And I shall find my peace,
My All in all!

Only for Thee,
As Thy disciples lived
In Galilee;
Then, all my struggles o'er,
Then vict'ry won,
I shall behold Thee, Lord,
The living One.

Arise, My Soul, Arise
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 888 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, arise,
Shake off thy guilty fears;
The bleeding Sacrifice
In my behalf appears;
Before the throne my Surety stands,
My name is written on His hands.
2 He ever lives above
For me to intercede,
His all-redeeming love,
His precious blood to plead;
His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
3 Five bleeding wounds He bears,
Received on Calvary;
They pour effectual prayers,
They strongly speak for me;
Forgive him, O forgive, they cry,
Nor let that ransomed sinner die!
4 The Father hears Him pray,
His dear Anointed One;
He cannot turn away,
Cannot refuse His Son;
His Spirit answers to the blood
And tells me I am born of God.
5 My God is reconciled,
His pard'ning voice I hear;
He owns me for His child,
I can no longer fear;
With confidence I now draw nigh
And Father, Abba, Father! cry.

According To Thy Gracious Word
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 551 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace Holy Communion Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious Word,
In meek humility,
This will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember Thee.
2 Thy body, broken for my sake,
My bread from heav'n shall be;
The cup, Thy precious blood, I take,
And thus remember Thee.
3 Gethsemane can I forget?
Or there Thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
And not remember Thee?
4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes,
And rest on Calvary,
O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice,
I must remember Thee.
5 And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and mem'ry flee,
When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,
Then, Lord, remember me.
Amen. Used With Tune: DUNDEE
