I lift my heart to Thee, Savior divine

Author: C. E. Mudie Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I lift my heart to Thee, Savior divine, For Thou art all to me, and I am Thine. Is there on earth a closer bond than this, That "My Beloved’s mine, and I am His?" 2 To Thee, Thou bleeding Lamb, I all things owe; All that I hav, and am, and all I know. All that I have is now no longer mine, And I am not mine own;--Lord, I am Thine. 3 How can I, Lord, withhold life’s brightest hour From Thee; or gathered gold, or any power? Why should I keep one precious thing from Thee; When Thou hast given Thine own dear self for me? 4 I pray Thee, Savior, keep me in Thy love, Until death’s holy sleep shall me remove To that fair realm, where, sin and sorrow o’er, Thou and Thine own are one forevermore.

For help, O whither shall I flee?

Author: J. Neander Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For help, O whither shall I flee? Who now to peace will guide me? To none, dear Savior, but to Thee, Can I with hope confide me. 'Tis Thine to give the weary rest, The mourning soul in Thee is blest,-- Help, Jesus, the afflicted! 2 My sin, O Lord, is now my grief, Against my will it rages: Thy grace alone an bring relief, While sin its warfare wages, All that I need is known to Thee, And now a part myself can see,-- Help, Jesus, the sin-burdened! 3 Good Shepherd, bearest Thou the weak? Sustain me in my weakness! Thou great Physician of the sick, Heal Thou my moral sickness! A prey to death I helpless fall,-- For health and strength to Thee I call, Save, Jesus, or I perish! 4 To those who trust Thee--"Nothing fear? I am the life!"--Thou criest; Seeks not my soul, with strong desire, The life which Thou suppliest? Though all my sorrows Thou canst lead, In death provide for every need-- Help, Jesus, the confiding. 5 I would do good, but still I fail,-- Must I thus always waver? What grief it gives Thou knowest well. Who shall my soul deliver, And set the salve for ever free From sin and death to live with Thee?-- I thank Thee, God, through Jesus!

O God, Thou faithful God

Author: J. Heermann Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God, Thou fountain ever flowing, Without whom nothing is, All perfect gifts bestowing; A pure and healthy frame O give me, and within A conscience free from blame, A soul unhurt by sin. 2 And grant me, Lord, to do With ready heart and willing, Whate'er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling; To do it when I ought, With all my strength, and bless The work I thus have wrought, For Thou must give success. 3 And let me promise naught But I can keep it truly, Abstain from idle words, And guard my lips still duly; And grant, when in my place I must and ought to speak, My words due power and grace; Nor let me wound the weak. 4 If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless; Help me to bear the cross When life is dark and cheerless; To overcome my foe With words and actions kind: When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find. 5 And let me be with all In peace and friendship living, As far as Christians may; And if Thou aught art giving Of wealth and honors fair, That naught be mingled there Of goods unjustly got. 6 And if a longer life Be here on earth decreed me, And Thou through many a strife To age at last wilt lead me, Thy patience on me shed. Avert all sin and shame, And crown my hoary head With pure untarnished fame. 7 Let nothing that may chance, Me from my Savior sever; And, dying with Him, take My soul to Thee for ever; And let my body have A little space to sleep Beside my fathers' grave, And friends that o'er it weep. 8 And when the end is come And all the dead are waking, O reach me down Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking; Then let me hear Thy voice, And change this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name.

Why do the heathen rage?

Author: B. H. Kennedy Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why do the heathen rage? What are the nations dreaming? In vain against the Lord And His Anointed scheming, Kings of the earth arise, And leaguéd rulers say: "Come, let us break their bands, And cast their cords away." 2 He who is throned in heaven Derides their preparation; The Lord upon them pours His scornful indignation: Soon shall His voice of wrath Their souls with terror thrill "Yet I have set my King On Zion's holy hill."-- 3 Now will I cry aloud And tell the Lord's great token: "Thou art My Son," He saith: To me the word was spoken: "Yea, Thee have I this day Begotten: ask of Me, And Thine the heathen, Thine Earth's utmost parts shall be: 4 Beneath Thine iron rod Thy foemen shall be shattered, As by the potter's hand The broken shreds lie scattered." Be wise, then, O ye kings, Ye earthly judges, hear; Serve ye the Lord with awe, Rejoice with trembling fear. 5 Bow down and kiss the Son, Lest, if His wrath awaken, Ye fail and fade away, For evermore forsaken. Soon may His anger burn, A lightly kindled flame; Then blessed are all they That trust His holy name.

Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God

Author: P. Eber Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God, Who borest anguish, scorn, the rod, And diedst at last upon the tree, To bring Thy Father's grace for me: I pray Thee, through that bitter woe; Let me, a sinner, mercy know. 2 When comes the hour of failing breath, And I must wrestle, Lord, with death. When from my sight all fades away, And when my tongue no more can say, And when mine ears no more can hear, And when my heart is racked with fear: 3 When all my mind is darkened o'er, And human help can do no more; Then come, Lord Jesus! come with speed, And help me in my hour of need; Lead me from this dark vale beneath, And shorten then the pangs of death. 4 Joyful my resurrection be, Thou in the judgment plead for me, And hide my sins, Lord, from Thy face, And give me life, of Thy rich grace! I trust Thee utterly, my Lord, For Thou hast promised in Thy word! 5 Dear Lord, forgive us all our guilt; Help us to wait until Thou wilt That we depart; and let our faith Be brave, and conquer e'en in death; Firm resting on Thy sacred word, Until we sleep in Thee, our Lord.

Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith

Author: J. Heermann Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith, I would not have the sinner's death. Far rather 'tis My holy will, That in his course he should stand still. Repentant sinners I forgive, Then let them hear, believe, and live. 2 Think of this word, O guilty soul! Despair not: Christ can make thee whole, In Him there's pardon, peace, and grace; A sure and blessed hiding-place. The covenant, confirmed by blood, Doth stand upon the oath of God. 3 O trifle not the time away! Say not, "I'll come another day." Say not, "I'll have my soul's desire, And turn when of the world I tire." Say not, "I'll then converted be, God will be merciful to me." 4 'Tis true that God is rich in grace,-- Beholding His Anointed's face. The blood of Christ atoned for sin, He died eternal life to win; Yet God doth not vouchsafe to say That thou shalt live "another day." 5 O hasten, sinner, to be wise! Nor dare God's message to despise. He who this hour supplies thy breath, The next, may give thee o'er to death. And if thy sins are not forgiven, Thou'lt never, never enter heaven. 6 Then cry: "Lord Jesus, help Thou me, This very day I come to Thee! O give me peace, and from this hour Deliver me from Satan's power; That henceforth and eternally, Thyself my all in all may be!"

The cloudless sun of joy He is, Who bringeth pure delight and bliss; O Comforter divine! What boundless grace is Thine! 4 Fling wide the portals of your heart, Make it a temple set apart From earthly use for heaven's employ Adorned with prayer and love and joy, So shall our Sovereign enter in, And new and nobler life begin, To Thee, O God, be praise, For word, and deed, and grace! 5 Redeemer, come and, I open wide My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide: Let me Thine inner presence feel, Thy grace and love in me reveal. Thy Holy Spirit guide us on Until our glorious goal is won! Eternal praise and fame We offer to Thy name!

We stand in deep repentance

Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We stand in deep repentance Before Thy throne of love; O God of grace, forgive us, The stain of guilt remove; Behold us while with weeping We lift our eyes to Thee, And, all our sins subduing, Our Father, set us free. 2 O shouldst Thou from us sinners Withhold Thy grace to guide, Forever we should wander From Thee, and peace, aside; But Thou to spirits contrite Dost light and life impart, That man may learn to serve Thee With thankful, joyous heart. 3 Our souls--on Thee we cast them, Our only refuge Thou! Thy cheering words revive us, When pressed with grief we bow: Thou bear'st the trusting spirit Upon Thy loving breast, And givest all Thy ransomed A sweet, unending rest.

O Love divine, how sweet Thou art!

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 382 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Love divine, how sweet Thou art! When shall I find my willing heart All taken up by Thee! I thirst, I faint, I die to prove The greatness of redeeming love, The love of Christ to me. 2 Stronger His love than death or hell; Its reaches are unsearchable; The first-born sons of light Desire in vain its depths to see, They cannot reach the mystery, The length, and breadth, and height. 3 God only knows the love of God: O that it now were shed abroad In this poor stony heart! For love I sigh, for love I pine; This only portion, Lord, be mine, Be mine this better part. 4 O that I could for ever sit With Mary at the Master’s feet! Be this my happy choice: My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heaven on earth, be this, To hear the Bridegroom’s voice!
