Captain of Israel's Host, and Guide
Father of Faithful Abraham
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals First Line: Father of faithful Abraham, hear Lyrics: 1. Father of faithful Abraham, hear
Our earnest suit for Abraham’s seed;
Justly they claim the softest prayer
From us, adopted in their stead,
Who mercy through their fall obtain,
And Christ by their rejection gain.
2. But hast Thou finally forsook,
Forever cast Thy own away?
Wilt Thou not bid the outcasts look
On Him they pierced, and weep, and pray?
Yes, gracious Lord, Thy Word is past;
All Israel shall be saved at last.
3. Come, then, Thou great Deliverer, come!
The veil from Jacob’s heart remove;
Receive Thy ancient people home,
That, quickened by Thy dying love,
The world may their reception find
Life from the dead for all mankind. Used With Tune: MIDDLESEX Text Sources: Hymns of Intercession, 1758
Father of Faithful Abraham
Savior, On Me The Grace Bestow
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Savior, on me the grace bestow,
To trample on my mortal foe,
Conqueror of death with Thee to rise,
And claim my station in the skies,
Fixed as the throne which ne’er can move,
A pillar in Thy Church above.
2 As beautiful, as useful there
May I that weight of glory bear,
With all who finally o’ercome,
Supporters of the heavenly dome,
Of perfect holiness possessed,
Forever in Thy presence blessed.
3 Write upon me the Name divine,
And let Thy Father’s nature shine,
His image visibly expressed,
His glory pouring from my breast
O’er all my bright humanity,
Transformed into the God I see!
4 Inscribing with the city’s name
The heavenly new Jerusalem,
To me the victor’s title give
Among Thy glorious saints to live,
And all their happiness to know,
A citizen of Heaven below.
5 When Thou hadst all Thy foes o’ercome,
Returning to Thy glorious home,
Thou didst receive the full reward,
That I might share it with my Lord,
And thus Thine own new new name obtain,
And one with Thee forever reign.

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: My heart is fixed, O God, my heart Lyrics: 1. My heart is fixed, O God, my heart
Is fixed to triumph in Thy grace:
Awake, my lute, and bear a part
My glory is to sing Thy praise,
Till all Thy nature I partake,
And bright in all thine image wake.
2. Thee will I praise among thine own;
Thee will I to the world extol,
And make Thy truth and goodness known:
Thy goodness, Lord, is over all;
Thy truth and grace the heavens transcend;
Thy faithful mercies never end.
3. Be Thou exalted, Lord, above
The highest name in earth or heaven;
Let angels sing Thy glorious love,
And bless the name to sinners given;
All earth and Heaven their king proclaim!
Bow every knee to Jesus’ name! Used With Tune: MIDDLESEX Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns, 1743
