Jesus, in Thee Our Eyes Behold

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, in Thee our eyes behold A thousand glories more, Than the rich gems and polished gold The sons of Aaron wore. 2. They first their own burnt offerings brought, To purge themselves from sin; Thy life was pure without a spot, And all Thy nature clean. 3. Fresh blood as constant as the day Was on their altar spilt; But Thy one offering takes away For ever all our guilt. 4. Their priesthood ran through several hands, For mortal was their race; Thy never changing office stands Eternal as Thy days. 5. Once in the circuit of a year, With blood, but not his own, Aaron within the veil appears Before the golden throne: 6. But Christ, by His own powerful blood, Ascends above the skies, And in the presence of our God Shows His own sacrifice. 7. Jesus, the King of glory, reigns On Zion’s heav’nly hill; Looks like a lamb that has been slain, And wears His priesthood still. 8. He ever lives to intercede Before His Father’s face: Give Him, my soul, thy cause to plead, Nor doubt the Father’s grace. Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-1709

Our lips and lives shall gladly show The wonders of Thy love, While on in Jesu’s steps we go To see Thy face above. 5. Our residue of days or hours Thine, wholly Thine, shall be; And all our consecrated powers A sacrifice to be: 6. Till Jesus in the clouds appear To saints on earth forgiven, And bring the grand Sabbatic year, The jubilee of Heaven.

Author: John H. Gurney Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great King of nations, hear our prayer, While at thy feet we fall, And humbly, with united cry, To thee for mercy call. 2 The guilt is ours, but grace is thine, O turn us not away; But hear us from thy lofty throne, And help us when we pray. 3 Our fathers' sins were manifold, And ours no less we own, Yet wondrously from age to age Thy goodness hath been shown. 4 When dangers, like a stormy sea, Beset our country round, To thee we looked, to thee we cried, And help in thee was found. 5 With one consent we meekly bow Beneath thy chast'ning hand, And, pouring forth confession meet, Mourn with our mourning land. 6 With pitying eye behold our need, As thus we lift our prayer; Correct us with thy judgments, Lord, Then let thy mercy spare.

"We see Jesus"

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: How great and solemn is the thing Lyrics: 1 How great and solemn is the thing, For which we here are come; To view the death of Zion’s King, And gaze upon his tomb; 2 To see him, under death’s arrest, Enter the dismal grave; Awhile in that dark cell to rest, Our mortal flesh to save; 3 To see him in his grave-clothes lie, His life and glory gone; To ask ourselves the reason why This wondrous deed was done; 4 To view the wounds of which he died And own our sins the cause; To honour Christ the crucified, Adhering to his laws; 5 To trace him rising from the tomb In victory over all; The first-born Son of nature’s womb, That rose no more to fall. 6 Here, humble saints, your tribute pay; A risen Saviour sing; Come, be baptized without delay, In honour of your King.
