My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Author: Edward Mote, 1797-1874 Appears in 1,115 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. 2 When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. 3 His oath, His covenant and blood, Support me in the sinking flood; When every earthly prop gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. 4 When I shall launch to worlds unseen, Oh, may I then be found in Him! Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. Amen.

One There is Above all Others

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 689 hymnals Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend. His is love beyond a brother’s, Costly, free, and knows no end. They who once His kindness prove, Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends to save us Could or would have shed His blood? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in Him to God: This was boundless love indeed: Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When He lived on earth abaséd, Friend of sinners was His Name: Now, above all glory raiséd, He rejoices in the same: Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love. We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought. Amen.

Jesus, I my Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,328 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee. Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my sall shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 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. Oh, ’tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; Oh, ’twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 3 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 Saviour died to win thee: Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste Thee 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 this earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen.

Humbled at Thy feet we lie, Seeking pardon from Thy throne. Amen. Topics: Repentance Used With Tune: WEBER. (SEYMOUR).
