Jesus Loves Me, This I Know
Jesus! I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow thee
Author: Lyle Appears in 1,310 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:28-30 Lyrics: 1 Jesus! I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou, henceforth, my all shalt be.
Perish every fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known;
Yet how rich is my condition!
God and heaven are still my own.
2 Let the world despise and leave me:
They have left my Saviour too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like them, untrue:
And while thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might!
Foes may hate, and friends may shun me;
Show thy face, and all is bright.
3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure!
Come, disaster, scorn, and pain!
In thy service pain is pleasure,
With thy favor, loss is gain.
I have called thee, Abba, Father,
I have stayed my heart on thee!
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather,
All must work for good to me. Topics: The Christian Life Consecration and Activity; All for Jesus

See Israel's Gentle Shepherd Stand
Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 487 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:16 Lyrics: 1 See Israel's gentle Shepherd stand
with all-engaging charms;
hark! how he calls the tender lambs,
and folds them in his arms.
2 "Permit them to approach," he cries,
"nor scorn their humble name;
for 'twas to bless such souls as these
the Lord of angels came."
3 We bring them, Lord, in thankful hands,
and yield them up to thee;
joyful that we ourselves are thine,
thine let our offspring be.

I Think When I Read That Sweet Story of Old
Author: Jemima T. Luke Meter: 11.8.12.9 Appears in 860 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:14 Lyrics: 1 I think when I read that sweet story of old,
when Jesus was here among men,
how he called little children as lambs to his fold,
I should like to have been with them then.
2 I wish that his hands had been placed on my head,
that his arm had been thrown around me,
and that I might have seen his kind look when he said,
"Let the little ones come unto me."
3 Yet still to his footstool in prayer I may go,
and ask for a share in his love;
and if I now earnestly seek him below,
I shall see him and hear him above;
4 In that beautiful place he has gone to prepare
for all who are washed and forgiv'n;
and many dear children are gathering there,
for of such is the kingdom of heav'n.

But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

Close by me forever and love me, I pray.

Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness
Author: Rusty Edwards, b. 1955 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:13-16 Lyrics: 1 Praise the One who breaks the darkness

Turning blindness into sight.
Praise the One who preached the Gospel,
Healing ev'ry dread disease,
Calming storms, and feeding thousands
With the very Bread of peace.

With a strong, yet gentle word;
Praise the One who drove out demons
With the piercing two-edged sword.
Praise the one who brings cool water
To the desert's burning sand;
From this Well comes living water
Quenching thirst in ev'ry land.
3 Let us praise the Word incarnate,
Christ, who suffered in our place.
Jesus died and rose victorious
That we may know God by grace.
Let us sing for joy and gladness,
Seeing what our God has done;
Let us praise the true Redeemer,
Praise the One who makes us one. Topics: Society; Redeemer Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

scenes by the wayside, tales of the sea,
stories of Jesus, tell them to me.

and I shall fancy his blessing resting on me;
words full of kindness, deeds full of grace,
all in the lovelight of Jesus' face.
3. Into the city I'd follow the children's band,
waving a branch of the palm tree high in my hand;
one of his heralds, yes, I would sing
loudest hosannas, "Jesus is King!"

A Little Child the Savior Came
Author: William Robertson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:14 Lyrics: 1 A little child the Savior came,
the Mighty God was still his name;
and angels worshiped as he lay
the seeming infant of a day.
2 He who, a little child, began
the life divine to show to man,
proclaims from heav'n the message free:
"Let little children come to me."
3 We bring them, Lord, and with the sign
of sprinkled water name them thine:
their souls with saving grace endow;
baptize them with thy Spirit now.
4 O give thine angels charge, good Lord,
them safely in thy way to guard;
thy blessing on their lives command,
and write their names upon thy hand.
5 O thou, who by an infant's tongue
dost hear thy perfect glory sung,
may these, with all the heav'nly host,
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

of the vain world's golden store,
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, 'Christian, love me more'.

days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
'Christian, love me more than these.'

serve and love you best of all. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; St. Andrew Used With Tune: ST. ANDREW

Hymn 113
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 154 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:14 First Line: How large the promise, how divine Lyrics:
How large the promise, how divine,
To Abram and his seed!
"I'll be a God to thee and thine,
Supplying all their need."
The words of his extensive love
From age to age endure;
The Angel of the cov'nant proves,
And seals the blessing sure.
Jesus the ancient faith confirms,
To our great fathers giv'n;
He takes young children to his arms,
And calls them heirs of heav'n.
Our God, how faithful are his ways!
His love endures the same;
Nor from the promise of his grace
Blots out the children's name.
