Him On Yonder Cross I Love

Author: Johann C. Rube; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Him on yonder cross I love, Naught beside on earth count dear! May He mine for ever prove, Who is now so inly near! Here I stand: whate’er may come, Days of sunshine or of gloom, From this word I will not move; Him upon the cross I love! 2 ’Tis not hidden from my heart, What true love must often bring; Want and grief have sorest smart, Care and scorn can sharply sting; Nay, but if Thy will were such, Bitterest death were not too much! Dark though here my course may prove: Him upon the cross I love! 3 Rather sorrows such as these, Rather love’s acutest pain, Than without Him days of ease, Riches false and honors vain. Count me strange, when I am true, What He hates I will not do; Sneers no more my heart can move; Him upon the cross I love! 4 Know ye whence my strength is drawn, Fearless thus the fight to wage? Why my heart can laugh to scorn Fleshly weakness, Satan’s rage? ’Tis, I know the love of Christ, Mighty is that love unpriced! What can grieve me, what can move? Him upon the cross I love! 5 Once the eyes that now are dim, Shall discern the changeless love That hath led us home to Him, That hath crowned us far above: Would to God that all below What that love is now might know, And their hearts this word approve: Him upon the cross I love!

Lord, I Come To Thee

Author: Robert W. Landis Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Lord, I come to Thee for rest Lyrics: 1 Lord, I come to Thee for rest, Guilty, helpless and undone; Wearied, and by sin oppressed, Burdened with a heart of stone. I against Thee have rebelled, Suffered earth my love to win; From my birth Thou hast beheld Me the willing slave of sin. 2 When Thy spirit gently strove To reclaim my erring heart, Urging me my God to love, Urging me from sin to part, I that blessèd Spirit drove Rashly from this wretched breast; Would not seek the joys above, Nor accept the proffered rest. 3 O abused and slighted Lord, Canst Thou such a heart receive? Yes, Thou canst, for Thy own word Calls me still to come and live; Lord, I come, O make me Thine; Cleanse my soul and set me free; Gladly do I sin resign, Joyfully return to Thee.

Lord, Remove the Veil Away

Author: Friedrich G. Klopstock; Jane L. Borthwick Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, remove the veil away, Let us see Thyself today: Thou who camest from on high, For our sins to bleed and die, Help us now to cast aside All that would our hearts divide; With the Father and the Son, Let Thy living Church be one. 2. Oh, from earthly cares set free, Let us find our rest in Thee; May our toils and conflicts cease In the calm of Sabbath peace; That Thy people here below Something of the bliss may know, Something of the rest and love, In the Sabbath-home above. 3. Give our souls the spotless dress Of Thy perfect righteousness; So at length each welcome guest Then shall enter to the feast, Take the harp and raise the song, All Thy ransomed ones among; Earthly cares and sorrows o’er, Joys to last forevermore.

Thou, the Christ Forever One

Author: William Bright Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thou, the Christ forever one, Mary’s child and Israel’s God, Daniel’s prince and David’s son, Jacob’s star and Jesse’s rod, Thou of whom of the prophets spake, Thou in whom their words came true, Hear the pleading prayer we make, Hear the Gentile for the Jew! 2. Knowing what the Spirit saith, Sure of Thee, our Christ divine, Lo, we stand, by right of faith, Heirs of Abraham’s chartered line; Can we then his sons forget, Branches severed from their tree, Exiles from their homes, and yet Kinsmen, Lord, in flesh to Thee? 3. Though the blood betrayed and spilt, On the race entailed a doom, Let its virtue cleanse the guilt, Melt the hardness, chase the gloom; Lift the veil from off their heart, Make them Israelites indeed, Meet once more for lot and part With Thy household’s genuine seed. 4. Thou that didst Thy dews outpour, Crowning alien grafts with fruit, Soon the native growths restore, Making glad the parent root: Ah! but let not pride ensnare Souls that need to mourn their sin; Still the boughs adopted spare, And the outcasts—graft them in! 5. Speed the day of union sweet When with us in faith allied, Israel’s heart shall turn to greet Thee, whom Israel crucified; Thee, in all Thy truth and grace, Owned at last as Salem’s king, While her children find their place, Gathered safe beneath Thy wing.

Join we with the saints of old, no more strangers in the fold, one the Shepherd who us sought, one the flock his blood has bought. 2 One our Master, one alone, none but Christ as Lord we own; "brethren of his law" are we — “As I loved you, so love ye.” Branches we in Christ, the Vine, living by his life divine; as the Father with the Son, so, in Christ, we all are one. 3 One the name in which we pray, one our Savior day by day; with one cup and with one bread thus one cov'nant way we tread. One in spirit, one in life, one amid earth’s frequent strife, one in faith and one in love, one in hope of heav'n above.
