Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,224 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17:8 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, O 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.

Psalm 17

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 First Line: Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove Lyrics: Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove My faith, my patience, and my love: When men of spite against me join, They are the sword, the hand is thine. Their hope and portion lies below: 'Tis all the happiness they know, 'Tis all they seek; they take their shares, And leave the rest among their heirs. What sinners value I resign; Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine: I shall behold thy blissful face, And stand complete in righteousness. This life's a dream, an empty show; But the bright world to which I go Hath joys substantial and sincere: When shall I wake and find me there? O glorious hour! O blest abode! I shall be near and like my God! And flesh and sin no more control The sacred pleasures of the soul. My flesh shall slumber in the ground Till the last trumpet's joyful sound; Then burst the chains with sweet surprise, And in my Savior's image rise.

Then let his pride advance, And boast of all his store; The Lord is my inheritance, My soul can wish no more. I shall behold the face Of my forgiving God; And stand complete in righteousness, Washed in my Savior's blood. There's a new heav'n begun, When I awake from death, Dressed in the likeness of thy Son, And draw immortal breath.

Whose belly with thy treasure hid thou fill’st: they children have In plenty; of their goods the rest they to their children leave. 15But as for me, I thine own face in righteousness will see; And with thy likeness, when I wake, I satisfy’d shall be.

Nor shall thy Justice, Lord, alone my Heart's Designs acquit; For I have purpos'd, that my tongue shall no Offence commit. 4 I know what wicked Men would do, their Safety to maintain; But me thy just and mild Commands from bloody Paths restrain. 5 That I may still, in spite of Wrongs, my Innocence secure, O, guide me in thy righteous Ways, and make my Footsteps sure. 6 Since heretofore I ne'er in vain to Thee my Pray'r address'd; O! now, my God, incline thine Ear to this my just Request. The Wonders of thy Truth and Love in my Defence engage, Thou whose Right-hand preserves thy Saints from their Oppressors Rage. Part II 8.9 O! keep me in thy tend'rest Care; Thy sheltring wings stretch out, To guard me safe from savage Foes, that compass me about; 10 O'ergrown with Luxury, inclos'd in their own Fat they lie; And with a proud blaspheming Mouth both God and Man defie. 11 Well may they boast; for they have now my Paths encompass'd round; their Eyes at watch, their Bodies bow'd and couching on the Ground. 12 In Posture of a Lion set, when greedy of his Prey; Or a young Lion, when he lurks within a covert Way. 13 Arise, O Lord, defeat their Plots, their swelling Rage controul: From wicked Men, who are thy Sword, deliver thou my soul: 14 From worldly Men, thy sharpest Scourge, whose Portion's here below; who, fill'd with earthly Stores, aspire no other Bliss to know. 15 Their Race is num'rous, that partake their Substance while they live; Their Heirs survive, to whom they may the vast Remainder give. 16 But I, in Uprightness, thy Face shall view without Controul; And, waking, shall its Image find reflected in my Soul.

My HEART thou searched hast by day, and visited by night: Thou hast me in a furnace try'd, and found my heart is right. 3 As for my MOUTH; as I resolv'd my words should not transgress, Thy righteous laws which guide the tongue; I kept my purposes. 4 And as for WORKS of men; thy word hath me directed so, That I observ'd and shun'd the paths wherein destroyers go. 5 My goings in thy narrow paths do thou uphold and guide; That so my footsteps thus secur'd may never turn aside. 6 On Thee I called have, O God, because Thou wilt me hear; O now incline thine ear to me, and hear my humble pray'r. [2 Part] 7 O shew thy wondrous grace on them whose trust on thee relies: Who sav'st by thy right hand from those who up against them rise. 8 O keep me now as thou wouldst keep the apple of thine eye; Under the shadow of thy wings hide me continually. 9 From all the threat'ning faces of the wicked who me waste, And from my deadly enemies, who me around invest. 10 In their gross fat thy are enclos'd, boast with their mouths likewise; 11 In all our steps they compass us; to earth they bow their eyes. 12 They like a roaring lion are, who greedy is for prey; Like a young lion watching in his secret place, are they. 13 But LORD arise, his face prevent; O make him down to bow; And from the wicked one, thy sword, my soul deliver thou. 14 From mortal men thy hand, O LORD, from mortal men me save, Who in this transient time of life their only portion have. Thy hidden stores their bellies fill, and filled are their sons; And all the rest they save and leave to their young little ones. 15 But I in righteousness thy face with joy shall clearly see; And waking with thine image, I shall satisfied be.

Still, Still with Thee, When Purple Morning Breaketh

Author: Harriet Elizabeth (Beecher) Stowe Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 345 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17:15 Lyrics: 1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee; Fairer than morning, lovelier than the daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee! 2 Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows, The solemn hush of nature newly born; Alone with Thee, in breathless adoration, In the calm dew and freshness of the morn. 3 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber, Its closing eye looks up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose beneath the wings o’ershading, But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there. 4 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning, When the soul waketh, and life’s shadows flee; O for that hour when fairer than the dawning Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee! Amen. Topics: Hope and Aspiration; Morning Used With Tune: WILLINGHAM

[Refrain] 3 Oh, the dear ones in glory, how they beckon me to come, And our parting at the river I recall; To the sweet vales of Eden they will sing my welcome home; But I long to meet my Savior first of all. [Refrain] 4 Through the gates to the city in a robe of spotless white, He will lead me where no tears will ever fall; In the glad song of ages I shall mingle with delight; But I long to meet my Savior first of all.

Now is breaking O'er the earth another day. Come to him who made this splendor; May you render All your feeble strength can pay. 2 Gladly hail the light returning; Ready burning Be the incense of your powers. For the night is safely ended; God has tended With his care your helpless hours. 3 Pray that he may prosper ever Each endeavor When your aim is good and true; But that he may ever thwart you, And convert you, When you evil would pursue. 4 Only God's free gifts abuse not, Light refuse not, But his Spirit's voice obey; You with him shall dwell, beholding Light enfolding All things in unclouded day.
