Savior, When in Dust to You

Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Hymnal: LW1982 #93 (1982) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH Lyrics: 1 Savior, when in dust to you Low we bow in homage due; When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our weeping eyes; Oh, by all your pains and woe Suffered once for man below, Bending from your throne on high, Hear our penitential cry! 2 By your helpless infant years, By your life of want and tears, By your days of deep distress In the savage wilderness, By the dread, mysterious hour Of the insulting tempter's pow'r, Turn, oh, turn a fav'ring eye; Hear our penitential cry! 3 By your hour of dire despair, By your agony of prayer, By the cross, the nail, the thorn, Piercing spear, and torturing scorn, By the gloom that veiled the skies O'er the dreadful sacrifice, Listen to our humble sigh; Hear our penitential cry! 4 By your deep expiring groan, By the sad sepulchral stone, By the vault whose dark abode Held in vain the rising God, Oh, from earth to heav'n restored, Mighty, re-ascended Lord, Bending from your throne on high, Hear our penitential cry!

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: LW1982 #508 (1982) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to thy mercy fly While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Savior, hide Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide. Oh, receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on thee. Leave, ah, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me! All my trust on thee is stayed, All my help from thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of thy wing. 3 Wilt thou not regard my call, Wilt thou not accept my prayer? Lo, I sink, I faint, I fall; Lo, on thee I cast my care; Reach me out thy gracious hand! While I of thy strength receive, Hoping against hope I stand, Dying, and behold, I live! 4 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name: I am all unrighteousness, False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace. 5 Plenteous grace with thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin. Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of thee; Spring thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity.

Just God, make not your wrath my lot; Your Son has suffered for me. 4 If pain and woe must follow sin, Then be my path still rougher. Here spare me not; if heav'n I win, On earth I gladly suffer. 5 But curb my heart, forgive me still, Oh, make my patience firmer; For they ignore your kindly will Who at your chast'nings murmur. 6 All that you do is for my best; Your grace will help me bear it If but at last I see your rest And with my Savior share it.

His blood-red banner streams afar; Who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears his cross below-- He follows in his train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his master in the sky And called on him to save. Like him, with pardon on his tongue In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for those who did the wrong-- Who follows in his train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints; their hope they knew And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel-- Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n Through peril, toil, and pain. O God, to us may grace be giv'n To follow in their train! Topics: The Church Militant Languages: English
