How Shall I Follow Him I Serve?

Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How shall I follow Him I serve? How shall I copy Him I love? Nor from those blessed footsteps swerve, Which lead me to His seat above? 2 Privations, sorrows, bitter scorn, The life of toil, the mean abode, The faithless kiss, the crown of thorn,-- Are these the consecrated road? 3 'Twas thus He suffered, though a Son, Foreknowing, choosing, feeling all, Until the perfect work was done, And drunk the bitter cup of gall. 4 Lord, should my path through suffering lie, Forbid it I should e'er repine; Still let me turn to Calvary, Nor heed my griefs, remembering Thine. 5 O let me think how Thou didst leave Untasted every pure delight, To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve, The toilsome day, the homeless night: 6 To faint, to grieve, to die for me! Thou camest not Thyself to please: And, dear as earthly comforts be, Shall I not love Thee more than these? 7 Yes, I would count them all but loss, To gain the notice of Thine eye: Flesh shrinks and trembles at the cross, But Thou canst give the victory. Amen. Topics: Church Year Lent; Sexagesima; Lenten Hymns; Lent, First Sunday; Holy Week; Cross-bearing; Trials Scripture: Philippians 3:8 Used With Tune: MARYTON

There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,544 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, as vile as he, Wash all my sins away, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more, Be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave, Lies silent in the grave.

Thou who hast died to save the lost, Help us, dear Lord, to weigh the cost, And follow Thee, our Saviour. Amen.

We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; Take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour, still our refuge,-- Take it to the Lord in prayer.
