Jesus, Lord, We Look to Thee

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 198 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Lord, we look to thee; let us in thy name agree; show thyself the Prince of Peace, bid our strife forever cease. 2. By thy reconciling love every stumbling block remove; each to each unite, endear; come, and spread thy banner here. 3. Make us of one heart and mind, gentle, courteous, and kind, lowly, meek, in thought and word, altogether like our Lord. 4. Let us for each other care, each the other's burdens bear; to thy church the pattern give, show how true believers live. 5. Free from anger and from pride, let us thus in God abide; all the depths of love express, all the heights of holiness. 6. Let us then with joy remove to the family above; on the wings of angels fly, show how true believers die.

God of Love, That Hearest Prayer

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 82 hymnals Lyrics: 1. God of love, that hearest prayer, Kindly for Thy people care, Who on Thee alone depend: Love us, save us to the end. 2. Save us, in the prosperous hour, From the flattering tempter’s power, From his unsuspected wiles, From the world’s pernicious smiles. 3. Cut off our dependence vain On the help of feeble man, Every arm of flesh remove; Stay us on Thy only love! 4. Men of worldly, low design, Let not these Thy people join, Poison our simplicity, Drag us from our trust in Thee. 5. Save us from the great and wise, Till they sink in their own eyes, Tamely to Thy yoke submit, Lay their honors at Thy feet. 6. Never let the world break in; Fix a mighty gulf between: Keep us little and unknown, Prized and loved by God alone. 7. Let us still to Thee look up, Thee, Thy Israel’s strength and hope; Nothing know, or seek, beside Jesus, and Him crucified. 8. Far above all earthly things, Look we down on earthly kings; Taste our glorious liberty, Find our happiness in Thee!

Christians, Are the Words You Speak

Author: Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Christians, are the words you speak, Like your Master's, kind and meek? Do you judge your fellow-men, As you would be judged again? 2 Do you in your conduct prove, Children of a God of love, Good and gentle, just and true, As your Lord has been to you? 3 Ah, the bitterness of sin, Lurks the fallen heart within, And from thence unceasing flows, Poisoning, blighting as it goes! 4 Lord, the slanderer's malice blast: Let it come to naught at last, Let Your rescued people cry, 'Yes, there is a God on high!' Scripture: Psalm 58

O This Soul, How Dark And Blind

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O this soul, how dark and blind; O this foolish, earthly mind; Ever froward selfish will, Which refuses to be still! 2 O these ever roaming eyes, Upward that refuse to rise; These still wayward feet of mine, Found in every path but Thine! 3 O these pulses felt within, Beating for the world and sin; Sending round the fevered blood, In a fierce and carnal flood! 4 O this stubborn prayerless knee, Hands so solemn clasped to Thee, Longings of the soul that go, Like the wild wind to and fro. 5 To and fro without an aim, Turning idly whence they came, Bringing in no joy, no bliss— Adding to my weariness! 6 Giver of the heav’nly peace, Bid, O bid, these tumults cease; Minister Thy holy balm, Fill me with Thy Spirit’s calm. 7 Thou the life, the truth, the way, Leave me not in sin to stay; Bearer of the sinner’s guilt, Lead me, lead me, as Thou wilt.

Born to Bless Us, Born to Save!

Author: Thomas Davis Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Born to bless us, born to save! Praise His name with joyful breath! Sing through life, nor fear the grave! Jesus lives to conquer death! 2 Every birth is changed from hence; Each may take a pathway bright; Reaching soon the tomb, but thence Issuing in unfading light. 3 Humblest cradles now shall show, Clearly show to loving eyes, Oft while tears of rapture flow, Flowerets born for Paradise. 4 Parents now shall sink to rest, Hoping soon to clasp in Heaven, Lovely as a seraph blest, Every child whom God hath given. 5 Parents, children, young and old, If but strong in faith and love, Shall, with gratitude untold, Oft foretaste the joys above. 6 Lowly Babe of Bethlehem! Glorious Lord of life and light! Humble branch of Jesse’s stem! God! Thy grace is infinite. Used With Tune: ALCESTER Text Sources: Hymns Old and New (London: Longman, Green, Roberts and Green, 1864)
