We Christians Should Ever Consider

Author: Haquin Spegel, 1645-1714 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #297 (1901) Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.9.8 Lyrics: 1 We Christians should ever consider What Christ hath so graciously taught; For He, who hath made us His children, Would have us retain in our thought How little things earthly do merit, Lest we, who should heaven inherit, The heavenly prize leave unsought. 2 All nature a sermon may preach thee; The birds sing thy murmurs away; The birds, which nor sowing nor reaping, God fails not to feed day by day; And He, who those creatures doth cherish, He never will leave thee to perish; Or art thou not better than they? 3 The lilies, nor toiling nor spinning, Their clothing how gorgeous and fair! What tints in their tiny robes woven, What wondrous devices are there! All Solomon's stores could not render One festival robe of such splendor As the modest field lilies do wear. 4 If God o'er the grass and the flowers Such delicate beauty hath spread, The flowers which to-day are so fragrant, To-morrow are faded and dead; Oh, why, then, should earthly cares fret thee? Thy Father will never forget thee, Nor fail to provide thee with bread. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: OSS KRISTNA BÖR TRO OCH BESINNA

I Have a Friend

Author: Carl Olaf Rosenius, 1816-1868 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #298 (1901) First Line: I have a Friend so patient, kind, forbearing Lyrics: 1 I have a Friend so patient, kind, forbearing, Of all my friends this Friend doth love me best; Though I am weak and sinful, yet when sharing His love and mercy I am ever blest. 2 He is my Lord, my Friend, yea, He’s my brother; And Jesus Christ is His most blessèd Name. He loves more tenderly than any mother; To rest in Him is more than wealth and fame. 3 My poor and wretched soul He bought so dearly, And freed from condemnation, death, and hell; The old and bitter foe He crushed completely. My soul, rejoice and sing, for all is well! 4 Thus I’m redeemed; no more the law prevaileth, For Christ, the Lord, is my Redeemer’s Name; His precious blood more than my sin availeth; His merit covers all my guilt and shame. 5 With hallelujahs here I’d tell the story, My Lord to praise, to laud and magnify; And praise His Name for evermore in glory, Before His throne with all the saints on high. Amen. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: JAG HAR EN VÄN

Jesus, and Shall it Ever be

Author: Joseph Grigg, 1720-1768 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #299a (1901) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 Soon shall He come with power to bless All who do here His Name confess; And then may this my glory be, That He is not ashamed of me! Amen. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: BLENDON

Thee love beneath Thy smile or frown, Beneath Thy scepter or Thy rod. What though my flesh and heart decay? Thee shall I love in endless day.

Who is he that would condemn me? Christ hath saved me by His grace; Who an from my Saviour draw me? I am safe in His embrace. 3 And I am persuaded ever, Life nor death shall tear me from Christ, my blessed Lord and Saviour; Present things nor things to come, Height, nor depth, nor fear, nor favor, Aught that heaven and earth afford, Can me from Go's love e'er sever, Love revealed in Christ our Lord.
