O Jesus, crucified for man

Author: W. W. How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 48 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, crucified for man, O Lamb, all glorious on Thy throne, Teach Thou our wondering souls to scan The mystery of Thy love unknown. 2 We pray Thee, grant us strength to take Our daily cross, whate’er it be, And gladly for Thine own dear sake In paths of pain to follow Thee. 3 As on our daily way we go, Through light or shade, in calm or strife, O may we bear Thy marks below In conquered sin and chastened life. 4 And week by week this day we ask That holy memories of Thy cross May sanctify each common task, And turn to gain each earthly loss. 5 Grant us, dear Lord, our cross to bear, Till at Thy feet we lay it down, Win through Thy blood our pardon there, And through the cross attain the crown.

My foes are ever near me, Around me and within; But Jesus, draw Thou nearer, And shield my soul from sin. 3 O let me hear Thee speaking In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will. O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control; O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul! 4 O Jesus, Thou hast promised To all who follow Thee That where Thou art in glory There shall Thy servant be; And, Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, My Master and my Friend! 5 O let me see Thy footmarks, And in them plant mine own; My hope to follow duly Is in Thy strength alone. O guide me, call me, draw me, Uphold me to the end; And then in heaven receive me, My Savior and my Friend!

Savior, sprinkle many nations

Author: A.C. Coxe Appears in 161 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Savior, sprinkle many nations, Fruitful let Thy sorrows be! By Thy pains and consolations Draw the gentiles unto Thee! Of Thy cross the wondrous story Be it to the nations told; Let them see Thee in Thy glory, And Thy mercy manifold! 2 Far and wide, though all unknowing, Pants for Thee each mortal breast: Human tears for Thee are flowing, Human hearts in Thee would rest. Thirsting, as for dews of even, As the new-mown grass for rain, Thee they seek, as God of heaven, Thee as man for sinners slain. 3 Savior, lo, the isles are waiting, Stretched the hand, and strained the sight, For Thy Spirit, new-creating, Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light. Give the word, and of the preacher Speed the foot, and touch the tongue, Till on earth, by every creature, Glory to the Lamb be sung.
