Author: J. J. Cummins Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 94 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu, Lord of life and glory, Bend from heaven Thy gracious ear; While our waiting souls adore Thee, Friend of helpless sinners, hear: By Thy mercy, Oh, deliver us, good Lord. 2 From the depths of nature's blindness, From the hardening power of sin, From all malice and unkindness, From the pride that lurks within, By Thy mercy, Oh, deliver us, good Lord. 3 When temptation sorely presses, In the day of Satan's power, In our times of deep distresses, In each dark and trying hour, By Thy mercy, Oh, deliver us, good Lord. 4 When the world around is smiling, In the time of wealth and ease, Earthly joys our hearts beguiling, In the day of health and peace, By Thy mercy, Oh, deliver us, good Lord. 5 In the weary hours of sickness, In the times of grief and pain, When we feel our mortal weakness, When all human help is vain, By Thy mercy, Oh, deliver us, good Lord. 6 In the solemn hour of dying, In the awful judgment day, May our souls, on Thee relying, Find Thee still our hope and stay: By Thy mercy, Oh, deliver us, good Lord.

Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched

Speed Thy servants, Saviour, speed them

Author: T. Kelley Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 79 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Speed Thy servants, Saviour, speed them; Thou art Lord of winds and waves, They were bound, but Thou hast freed them; Now they go to free the slaves; Be Thou with them: 'Tis Thine arm alone that saves. 2 Friends and home and all forsaking, Lord, they go at Thy command, As their stay Thy promise taking, While they traverse sea and land: Oh, be with them! Lead them safely by the hand. 3 When they reach the land of strangers, And the prospect dark appears, Nothing seen but toils and dangers, Nothing felt but doubts and fears, Be Thou with them; Hear their sighs, and count their tears. 4 Where no fruit appears to cheer them, And they seem to toil in vain: Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them, Then their sinking hopes sustain: Thus supported, Let their zeal revive again. 5 In the midst of opposition, Let them trust, O Lord, in Thee; When success attends their mission, Let Thy servants humbler be; Never leave them, Till Thy face in heaven they see: 6 There to reap in joy forever Fruit that grows from seed here sown; There to be with Him, Who never Ceases to preserve His own; And with gladness Give the praise to Him alone. Amen. Topics: Missions Used With Tune: ST. RAPHAEL
