Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,226 hymnals Scripture: Luke 7:21-22 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 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. 4 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.

O who am I, that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh, and die? 2 He came from his blest throne all made strange, and none the longed-for Christ would know. But, O, my Friend, my fFiend indeed, who at my need his life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew his way, and his strong praises sing, resounding all the way Hosannas to their King. Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, and for his death they thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, he gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Ye they at these themselves displease, and 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise, and needs will have my dear Lord made away; a murderer they save, the Prince of life they slay. Yet cheerful he to suff'ring goes, that he his foes from thence might free. 6 In life, no house, no home my Lord on earth might have; in death, no friendly tomb but what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heaven was his home, but mine the tomb wherein he lay. 7 Here might I stay and sing, no story so divine: never was love, dear King, never was grief like thine. This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Topics: Jesus Christ Passion and Cross Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

Devotion to Christ

Author: Charles Edward Mudie (1818— ) Meter: 6.4.6.4.10.10 Appears in 74 hymnals Scripture: Luke 7:47 First Line: I lift my heart to thee, Savior divine Lyrics: 1 I lift my heart to Thee, Saviour Divine! For Thou art all to me, And I am Thine. Is there on earth a closer bond than this, That "my Beloved's mine, and I am His?" 2 Thine am I be all ties; But chiefly Thine, That through Thy sacrifice, Thou, Lord, art mine. By Thine own cords of love, so sweetly wound Around me, I to Thee am closely bound. 3 To Thee, Thou bleeding Lamb, I all things owe; All that I have and am, And all I know. All that I have is now no longer mine, And I am not mine own; Lord, I am Thine. 4 How can I, Lord, withhold Life's brightest hour From Thee; or gathered gold, Or any power? Why should I keep one precious thing from Thee, When Thou hast given Thine own dear Self for me? 5 I pray Thee, Saviour, keep Me in Thy love, Until death's holy sleep Shall me remove To that far realm where, sin and sorrow o'er, Thou and Thine own are one for evermore.

Thy servant heareth, Waiting for Thy gracious word, Longing for Thy voice that cheereth; Master! let it now be heard. I am list'ning, Lord, for Thee: What hast Thou to say to me? O my Master, speak to me. 2 Often thro' my heart is pealing Many another voice than Thine, Many an unwilled echo stealing From the walls of this Thy shrine; Let Thy longed for accents fall; Master, speak, and silence all. O my Master, speak to me. 3 Master, speak, I do not doubt Thee, Tho' so tearfully I plead; Saviour, Shepherd, O without Thee Life would be a blank indeed; But I long for fuller light, Deeper love and clearer sight. O my Master, speak to me. Used With Tune: [Master, speak, Thy servant heareth]

O Where Is He That Trod the Sea?

Author: T. T. Lynch Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Luke 7:13-14 Lyrics: 1 O where is he that trod the sea? O where is he that spake and demons from their victims flee, the dead their slumbers break, the palsied rise in freedom strong, the speechless talk and sing, and from blind eyes benighted long bright beams of morning spring? 2 O where is he that trod the sea? O where is he that spake and piercing words of liberty the deaf ears open shake, and mildest words artrest the haste of fever's deadly fire, and strong ones heal the weak who waste their lives in sad desire? 3 O where is he that trod the sea? 'Tis only he can save; to thousands hung'ring wearily a wondrous meal he gave; full soon with bread from heaven fed, their rustic fare they take; 'twas springtide when he bless'd the bread, and harvest when he brake. 4 O where is he that trod the sea? My soul, the Lord is here! Let all thy fears be hushed in thee; be thine to look, to hear; he all thy needs will satisfy. Art thou diseased or dumb, or dost thou in thy hunger cry? "I come," saith Christ, "I come!" Used With Tune: SHEPHERD'S PIPES
