Jesus, my Saviour, look on me

Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 128 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour! look on me, For I am weary and opprest; I come to cast myself on Thee: Thou art my Rest. 2 Look down on me, for I am weak, I feel the toilsome journey's length; Thine aid Omnipotent I seek: Thou art my Strength. 3 I am bewildered on my way, Dark and tempestuous is the night; O send thou forth some cheering ray! Thou art my Light. 4 When Satan flings his fiery darts, I look to Thee; my terrors cease; Thy cross a hiding-place imparts: Thou art my Peace. 5 Standing alone on Jordan's brink, In that tremendous, latest strife, Thou wilt not suffer me to sink: Thou art my Life. 6 Thou wilt my every want supply E'en to the end, whate'er befall; Through life, in death eternally, Thou art my All.

By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored

Author: George Rawson Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 203 hymnals Lyrics: 1 By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored, We keep the memory adored, And show the death of our dear Lord Until He come. 2 His body broken in our stead Is here in this memorial bread, And so our feeble love is fed Until He come. 3 His fearful drops of agony, His life-blood shed for us we see: The wine shall tell the mystery Until He come. 4 And thus that dark betrayal night With the last Advent we unite-- The shame, the glory, by this rite Until He come. 5 Until the trump of God be heard, Until the ancient graves be stirred, And, with the great commanding word, The Lord shall come. 6 O blessèd hope! with this elate Let not our hearts be desolate, But, strong in faith, in patience wait Until He come. Amen. Used With Tune: [By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored]

From North and South and East and West

Author: George Thomas Coster Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1. From north and south and east and west, When shall the peoples, long unblest, All find their everlasting rest, O Christ, in Thee? 2. When shall the climes of ageless snow Be with the Gospel light aglow, And all men their Redeemer know, O Christ, in Thee? 3. When on each southern balmy coast, Shall ransomed men, in countless host, Rise, heart and voice, to make sweet boast, O Christ, in Thee? 4. O when in all the Orient lands, From cities white, and flaming sands, Shall men lift dedicated hands, O Christ, in Thee? 5. O when shall heathen darkness roll Away in light, from pole to pole, And endless day by every soul Be found in Thee? 6. Bring, Lord, the long predicted hour, The ages’ diadem and flower, When all shall find their refuge, tower, And home in Thee! Used With Tune: HANFORD (Sullivan)
