My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

Appears in 628 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! O may Thy will be mine; Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign. Through sorrow, or through joy, Conduct me as Thine own; And help me still to say, My Lord, Thy will be done. 2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! If needy here and poor, Give me Thy people’s bread, Their portion rich and sure. The manna of Thy word Let my soul feed upon; And if all else should fail, My Lord, Thy will be done. 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear, Since Thou on earth hast wept And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, My Lord, Thy will be done. 4 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee. Straight to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, My Lord, Thy will be done.

Stricken, smitten and afflicted

Meter: 8.7.8.1 Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Stricken, smitten and afflicted, See Him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ by man rejected; Yes, my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He! 'Tis the long expected Prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; Proofs I see sufficient of it: 'Tis the true and faithful Word. 2 Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning, Was there ever grief like His? Friends through fear His cause disowning, Foes insulting His distress; Many hands were raised to wound Him, None would interpose to save; But the deepest stroke that pierced Him Was the stroke that Justice gave. 3 Ye who think of sin but lightly, Nor suppose the evil great, Here may view its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. Mark the Sacrifice appointed! See who bears the awful load; 'Tis the Word, the Lord's ANOINTED, Son of man, and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation; Here the refuge of the lost; Christ's the Rock of our salvation: His the name of which we boast; Lamb of God, for sinners wounded! Sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded Who on Him their hope have built. Topics: Passion of Christ

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,823 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 For Him shall endless prayer be made, And endless praises crown His head; His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning sacrifice. 3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His name. 4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns; The prisoner leaps unloosed his chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 5 Where He displays His healing power, Death and the curse are known no more; In Him the tribes of Adam boast More blessings than their father lost. 6 Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen.

Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright

Appears in 72 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright, Filled with celestial resplendence and light, These that, where night never followeth day, Raise the "Thrice holy, Lord!" ever and aye! 2 These are Thy ministers, these dost Thou own, Lord God of Sabaoth! nearest Thy throne. These are Thy messengers; these dost Thou send, Help of the helpless ones, man to defend. 3 When by Thy word earth was first poised in space, When the far planets first sped on their race, When was completed the six days' employ, Then "all the sons of God shouted for joy." 4 Still let them succor us; still let them fight, Lord of angelic hosts! battling for right; Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour, We with the angels may bow and adore.
