The Son of Consolation!

Author: M. Coote Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The son of Consolation! Of Levi's priestly line, Filled with the Holy Spirit And fervent faith divine, With lowly self-oblation, For Christ an offering meet, He laid his earthly riches At the Apostles' feet. 2 The son of Consolation! Oh, name of soothing balm! 5It fell on sick and weary Like breath of heaven's own calm! And the blest son of comfort, With fearless, loving hand, The Gentiles' great Apostle Led to the faithful band. 3 The son of Consolation! Drawn near unto his Lord, He won the martyr's glory, And passed to his reward. With him is faith now ended, Forever lost in sight, But love, made perfect, fills him With praise, and joy, and light. 4 The son of Consolation! Lord, hear our humble prayer, That each of us Thy children Such blessèd name may bear! That we, sweet comfort shedding O'er homes of pain and woe, Midst sickness and in prisons, May seek Thee here below. 5 The sons of Consolation! Oh, what the bliss will be, When Christ the King shall tell them "Ye did it unto Me!" The merciful and loving The Lord of life shall own, And as His priceless jewels Shall set them round His throne. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Barnabas; Associations of Guilds; Lay Helpers; Sympathy Used With Tune: O BONA PATRIA

I Need Thee, Precious Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield; Rev. Ernst Adrian Zetterstrand Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 304 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am full of sin; My soul is dark and guilty, My heart is dead within. I need the cleansing fountain, Where I can always flee, The blood of Christ most precious, The sinner’s perfect plea. 2 I need Thee, blesséd Jesus, For I am very poor; A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store; I need the love of Jesus To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay. 3 I need Thee, blesséd Jesus, I need a friend like Thee, A friend to soothe and pity, A friend to care for me: I need the heart of Jesus To feel each anxious care, To tell my every trouble, And all my sorrows share. 4 I need Thee, blesséd Jesus, I need Thee day by day, To fill me with Thy fullness, To lead me on my way; I need Thy Holy Spirit To teach me what I am, To show me more of Jesus, To point me to the Lamb. Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Sanctification; Trinity, Fourteenth Sunday; Christ Longing for Used With Tune: O BONA PATRIA
