Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,243 hymnals First Line: Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom 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, O 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 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.

Bastards may escape the rod, Sunk in earthly, vain delight; But the true born child of God, Must not, would not, if he might. Used With Tune: MADRID Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W.

If we do not feel the chain when it works another’s pain, are we not base slaves indeed, slaves unwilling to be freed? 2 Is true freedom but to break fetters for our own dear sake, and with leathern hearts forget we owe humankind a debt? No, true freedom is to share all the chains that others wear, and, with heart and hand, to be earnest to make others free. 3 They are slaves who fear to speak for the fallen and the weak; they are slaves who will not choose hatred, scoffing, and abuse, rather than in silence shrink from the truth they needs must think.

Some we now no longer see, Who their mortal race have run; Seemed as fair for life as we, When the former year begun; Some, but who God only knows, Who are here assembled now, Ere the present year shall close, To the stroke of death must bow. 3. Life a field of battle is, Thousands fall within our view; And the next death-bolt that flies, May be sent to me or you: While we preach, and while we hear, Help us, Lord, each one, to think, Vast eternity is near, I am standing on the brink. 4. If from guilt and sin set free, By the knowledge of Thy grace; Welcome, then, the call will be To depart and see Thy face: To Thy saints, while here below, With new years, new mercies come; But the happiest year they know Is their last, which leads them home.

Let my life be hid in Thee From vexation and annoy; Calm in Thy tranquility, All my mourning turned to joy. 2 Let my life be hid in Thee When alarms are gathering round, Covered with Thy panoply, Safe within Thy holy ground. Let my life be hid in Thee; In the world, and yet above; Hid in Thine eternity, In the ocean of Thy love. Amen.

Hasten, Lord, the Glorious Time

Author: Harriet Auber Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 299 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hasten, Lord, the glorious time When, beneath Messiah’s sway, Every nation, every clime, Shall the Gospel call obey. Mightiest kings His power shall own, Heathen tribes His name adore; Satan and his host o’erthrown, Bound in chains, shall hurt no more. 2. As when soft and gentle showers Fall upon the thirsty plain, Springing grass and blooming flowers, Clothe the wilderness again; So Thy Spirit shall descend, Softening every stony heart, And its sweetest influence lend, All that’s lovely to impart. 3. Then shall wars and tumults cease, Then be banished grief and pain, Righteousness and joy and peace, Undisturbed shall ever reign. Bless we, then, our gracious Lord, Ever praise His glorious hame; All His mighty acts record; All His wondrous love proclaim. This hymn was originally written in 4-line verses. With a tune of a different meter, the omitted verse 6 can be used, as well: Time shall sun and moon obscure, Seas be dried, and rocks be riv’n. But His reign shall still endure, Endless as the days of Heav’n. Used With Tune: ELTHAM Text Sources: Spirit of the Psalms, 1829
