Look, ye saints; the sight is glorious

Appears in 550 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Look, ye saints; the sight is glorious: See the "Man of Sorrows," now; From the fight returned victorious, Every knee to Him shall bow; Crown Him! crown Him! Crowns become the Victor's brow. 2 Crown the Saviour, angels, crown Him; Rich the trophies Jesus brings; On the seat of power enthrone Him, While the vault of heaven rings; Crown Him! crown Him! Crown the Saviour King of kings. 3 Sinners in derision crowned Him, Mocking thus the Savior's claim; Saints and angels crowd around Him, Own His title, praise His Name: Crown Him! crown Him! Spread abroad the Victor's fame! 4 Hark! those bursts of acclamation! Hark! those loud triumphant chords! Jesus takes the highest station; O what joy the sight affords! Crown Him! crown Him! King of kings, and Lord of lords.

Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 245 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee, And plead to be forgiven, So let Thy life our pattern be, And form our souls for heaven. 2 Help us, through good report and ill, Our daily cross to bear; Like Thee, to do our Father's will; Our brethren's grief to share. 3 Let grace our selfishness expel, Our earthliness refine; And kindness in our bosoms dwell, As free and true as Thine. 4 If joy shall at Thy bidding fly, And grief's dark day come on, We, in our turn, would meekly cry, "Father, Thy will be done." 5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife, Forgiving and forgiven O may we lead the pilgrim's life, And follow Thee to heaven.

Lord, for the just thou dost provide

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, for the just Thou dost provide, Thou art their sure defence; Eternal Wisdom is their guide, Their help, Omnipotence. 2 Though they through foreign lands should roam, And breathe the tainted air In burning climates, far from home, Yet Thou, their Gad, art there. 3 Thy goodness sweetens every soil, makes every country please; Thou on the snowy hills dost smile, And smooth'st the rugged seas. 4 When waves on waves, to heaven uprear'd, Defied the pilots' art; When terror in each face appear'd, And sorrow in each heart; 5 To Thee I raised my humble prayer, To snatch me from the grave: I found Thine ear not slow to hear, Nor short Thine arm to save. 6 Thou gav'st the word, the winds did cease, The storms obey'd Thy will, The raging sea was hush'd in peace, And every wave was still. 7 For this, my life, in every state, A life of praise shall be; And death, when death shall be my fate. Shall join my soul to Thee. Topics: Offices of the Church For Those at Sea

O Jesu, Thou art standing

Appears in 677 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesu, Thou art standing Outside the fast-closed door, In lowly patience waiting To pass the threshold o'er: We bear the name of Christians, His Name and sign we bear, O shame, thrice shame upon us, To keep Him standing there. 2 O Jesu, Thou art knocking: And lo! that hand is scarr'd, And thorns Thy brow encircle, And tears Thy face have marr'd: O love that passeth knowledge, So patiently to wait! O sin that hath no equal, So fast to bar the gate! 3 O Jesu, Thou art pleading In accents meek and low, "I died for you, My children, And will ye treat Me so?" O Lord, with shame and sorrow We open now the door: Dear Saviour, enter, enter, And leave us nevermore.
