I'm happy with Jesus alone

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; Joachim Neander, 1650-1680 Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 17:7 Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded; he doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own. 2 Pride of man and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil he buildeth, tower and temple, fall to dust. But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower. 3 God's great goodness aye endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light, and life attend him, beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore from his store new-born worlds rise and adore. 4 Daily doth th' Almighty giver bounteous gifts on us bestow; his desire our soul delighteth, pleasure leads us where we go. Love doth stand at his hand; joy doth wait on his command. 5 Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son. Christ doth call one and all: ye who follow shall not fall. Topics: Fourth Sunday Before Lent Year C; Proper 4 Year A; Proper 26 Year A Used With Tune: MICHAEL Text Sources: German

All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenceless 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.

It cannot freely move, till thou hast wrought its chain; enslave it with thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. 3 My will is not my own till thou hast made it thine; if it would reach a monarch's throne, it must its crown resign; it only stands unbent amid the clashing strife, when on thy bosom it has leant, and found in thee its life.

Author: James Relly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 17:7 First Line: When I behold my bleeding God Lyrics: 1 When I behold my bleeding God, Each mountain seems a plain; But if I e'er forget his blood, The mountains rise again. 2 What means my inbred sense, so rude, To war against my peace? Or why should reason bold intrude Upon a Saviour's grace? 3 What tho' my senses loudly say, I have nor faith, nor love; Nor am I in the living way That leads to realms above. 4 What if still to increase my grief, It summons lust and pride, Hardness of heart, and unbelief, And all my ills beside: 5 And, from the whole, would witness this, Thou art devoid of grace; How canst thou hope, in worlds of bliss, To see the Saviour's face? 6 To this, the witness of my Lord, Greater than all in me, Replies in his unerring word, The Saviour's grace is free.

Tree of Good Fruit

Author: James Relly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 17:8 First Line: When all the virtues of the wood Lyrics: 1 When all the virtues of the wood, Impartially we trace; The apple tree, as rare, and good, First claims the highest place: Beauteous, and rare, it stands admir'd, Amongst a thousand trees; Its fragrance, fruit, and shade desir'd, To quicken, feed, and please. 2 Just so, excelling heav'n and earth, Is my beloved seen Amongst the sons of royal birth, The sons of God or men: Above them all he stands alone, Pre-eminent and rare; The Father's first begotten Son, None may with him compare. 3 He as the man of God's right hand, Is all perfection seen; Whilst angels charg'd with folly stand, And heav'n's declar'd unclean. When blasted ev'ry tree beside, Still he affords a shade; A safe asylum for his bride, Which love eternal made. 4 His fragrant name our hearts shall cheer, As ointments poured forth; More than the names which angels bear Or men of highest worth. Unsav'ry all the sons we prove, Their worth no more can see; The fragrance of eternal love Comes forth, dear Lamb, from thee. 5 Thy fruits, thy wisdom, love and pow'r, Are pefect evermore; Whilst all beside are green and sour, Or rotten at the core. Live thou, of all the sons admir'd, The only just and good; As stands the apple tree desir'd, In the unfruitful wood.

Sin has a thousand pleasing charms

Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Jeremiah 17:9 Lyrics: 1 Sin has a thousand pleasing charms, Which flatter to preserve from harms; She richly gilds her pleasing baits, And calls her trash delicious sweets. 2 Young men and maidens, rich and poor, Are pleased with her deceptive ore; There’s scarce an eye that views the light, But she can charm by day or night. 3 Nor are the vessels of the Lord Free from the chirpings of this bird, Her craft and spleen she’ll make them feel, And make them like a drunkard reel. 4 Her nature’s serpentine indeed; Her strength could make a Samson yield; Nor David could against her stand, When David’s God withheld his hand. 5 Good God! what can a mortal do, With such a cursèd, artful foe? Let grace divine my soul defend, Nor let me to this monster bend. 6 [Work in me, Lord, to will and do, My way to Zion to pursue; And while I tread the thorny road, Teach me to lean upon my God.] Topics: Tribulation and Inconstancy of Mind
