Jesus, and shall it ever be

Author: J. Grigg Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,295 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of Thee? Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days? 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star: He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon; 'Tis midnight with my soul, till He, Bright morning star, bid darkness flee. 4 Ashamed of Jesus, that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend! No, when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere His name. 5 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may When I've no guilt to wash away, No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. 6 Till then, nor is my boasting vain, Till then I boast a Savior slain; And O may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me.

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: H. F. Lyte Appears in 1,326 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, and hoped, and known, Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Savior, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue; And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might, Foes may hate, and friends may shun me; Show Thy face and all is bright. 3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come disaster, scorn and pain! In Thy service, pain is pleasure; With Thy favor, loss is gain. I have called Thee Abba, Father; I have stayed my heart on Thee; Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me. 4 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me, O 'twere not in joy to charm me Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 5 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Savior died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Author: F. S. Key Appears in 280 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise Thee, For the bliss Thy love bestows, For the pardoning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows: Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wanderer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away; Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear, And the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained cross appear. 3 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express; Low before Thy footstool kneeling, Deign Thy suppliant’s prayer to bless: Let Thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure, Love’s pure flame within me raise; And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth Thy praise.

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned

Author: S. Stennett Appears in 920 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Savior's brow; His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o'erflow. No mortal can with Him compare, Among the sons of men; Fairer is He than all the fair That fill the heavenly train. 2 He saw me plunged in deep distress, He flew to my relief; For me He bore the shameful cross, And carried all my grief. To Him I owe my life and breath, And all the joys I have; He makes me triumph over death, And saves me from the grave. 3 To heaven, the place of His abode, He brings my weary feet; Shows me the glories of my God, And makes my joy complete. Since from His bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be Thine.

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! When death itself draws nigh, To Thy dear wounded side I would for refuge fly: Leaning on Thee, to go Where Thou before hast gone; The rest as Thou shalt please: My Lord, Thy will be done! 5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me: Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee. Thus to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, My Lord, Thy will be done!
