I lay my sins on Jesus

Author: Dr. H. Bonar, 1808-1889 Appears in 562 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I lay my sins on Jesus, The spotless Lamb of God, He bears them all, and frees us From the accursed load I bring my guilt to Jesus, To wash my crimson stains White in His blood most precious, Till not a spot remains. 2 I lay my wants on Jesus, All fulness dwells in Him, He heals all my diseases, He doth my soul redeem I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I love the name of Jesus, Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; Like fragrance on the breezes, His name abroad is poured. I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's Holy Child.

We bless Thee, Lord, for all this common life

Author: F. M. White, 1828-1895 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1. We bless Thee, Lord, for all this common life Can give of rest and joy amidst its strife; For earth and trees and sea and clouds and springs; For work, and all the lessons that it brings. 2. For Pisgah gleams of newer, fairer truth, Which ever ripening still renews our youth; For fellowship with noble souls and wise, Whose hearts beat time to music of the skies; 3. For each achievement human toil can reach; For all that patriots win, and poets teach; For the old light that gleams on history's page, For the new hope that shines on each new age. 4. May we to these our lights be ever true, Find hope and strength and joy for ever new, To heavenly visions still obedient prove, The Eternal Law, writ by the Almighty Love!

Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh

Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1812-1896 Appears in 360 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee, Fairer than morning, lovelier than 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 As in the dawning o'er the waveless ocean, The image of the morning-star doth rest, So in the stillness, Thou beholdest only Thine image in the waters of my breast. 4 Still, still with Thee! As to each newborn morning A fresh and solemn splendour still is given, So does this blessed consciousness, awaking, Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven. 5 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber, Its closing eyes look up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose beneath Thy wings o'ershading, But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there. 6 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning, When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee; O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought I am with Thee.

It came upon the midnight clear

Author: Dr. Edmund Sears, 1810-1876 Appears in 902 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good-will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King!" The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife The world has suffered long; Beneath the angel-strain have rolled Two thousand years of wrong; And man, at war with man, hears not The words of peace they bring: O hush the noise, ye men of strife, And hear the angels sing! 4 O ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way, With painful steps and slow: Look now, for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing! 5 For lo! the days are hastening on By prophet-bards foretold, When with the ever-circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendours fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: J. Montgomery, 1771-1854 Appears in 853 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed; Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free, To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes, with succor speedy, To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; Love, joy, and hope, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth. Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace the herald go; And righteousness in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall fall down before Him And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore Him, His praise all people sing; For Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. 5 O'er every foe victorious, He on His throne shall rest; From age to age more glorious, All-blessing and all-blest. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His name shall stand for ever, His changeless name of Love.
