Holy admiration and joy

Author: Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals First Line: Jesus when faith with fixed eyes Lyrics: 1 Jesus when faith with fixed eyes Beholds thy wond'rous sacrifice, Love rises to an ardent flame, And we all other hope disclaim. 2 With cold affections who can see The thorns, the scourge, the nails, the tree, Thy flowing tears, and purple sweat, Thy bleeding hands, and head, and feet? 3 Look, saints, into his opening side, The breach how large, how deep, how wide! Thence issues forth a double flood, Of cleansing water, pardoning blood. 4 Hence, O my soul, a balsam flows, To heal thy wounds and cure thy woes; Immortal joys come streaming down, Joys, like his griefs, immense, unknown. 5 Thus I could sit, and ever sing The sufferings of my heavenly king; With glowing pleasure spread abroad The mysteries of a dying God.

Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; Increase my courage Lord! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer tho' they die; They see the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine, In robes of victory thro' the skies, The glory shall be thine.
