Beneath the cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 549 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land; A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way, From the burning of the noon-tide heat, And the burden of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus, Mine eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me. And from my smitten heart with tears, These wonders I confess,-- The wonders of His glorious love, And my own worthlessness. 3 I take, O cross, thy shadow For my abiding-place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of His face; Content to let the world go by, To know no gain or loss, My sinful self my only shame, My glory all the cross.

Let us here Thy glory see, And in tender pity make it Now Thy child, and leave it never, Thine on earth and Thine forever. 4 Make it, Head, Thy member now; Shepherd, take Thy lamb and feed it; Prince of Peace, its peace be Thou; Way of life, to heaven, O lead it: Vine, this branch may nothing sever, Grafted firm in Thee for ever. 5 Now upon Thy heart it lies, What our hearts so dearly treasure; Heavenward lead our burdened sighs, Pour Thy blessing without measure; Write the name we now have given, Write it in the book of heaven.

Comfort, comfort ye my people

Author: J. Olearius Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 128 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning ’neath their sorrows' load. Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. 2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon, Blotting out each dark misdeed; All which well deserved His anger He will no more see or heed. She has suffered many a day, Now her griefs have passed away, God will change her pining sadness Into ever springing gladness. 3 For the herald’s voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 4 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain, Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign. For the glory of the Lord Now o’er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That His Word is never broken.
