O Lord of health and life, what tongue can tell

Author: G. Phillimore Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord of health and life, what tongue can tell, How at Thy word were loosed the bands of hell; How Thy pure touch removed the leprous stain, And the polluted flesh grew clean again? 2 O wash our hearts, restore the contrite soul, Stretch forth Thy healing hand, and make us whole; O bend our stubborn knees to kneel to Thee, Speak but the word and we once more are free. 3 Yea, Lord, we claim the promise of Thy love, Thy love, which can all guilt, all pain remove; Nigh to our souls Thy great salvation bring, Then sickness hath no pang, and death no sting. 4 We hail this pledge in all Thy deeds of grace, As once disease and sorrow fled Thy face, So when that face again unveiled we see, Sickness, and tears, and death no more shall be. 5 Then grant us strength to pray, "Thy kingdom come," When we shall know Thee in Thy Father's home, And at Thy great Epiphany adore The co-eternal Godhead evermore.

Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 110 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus wept! those tears are over, But His heart is still the same; Kinsman, friend, and elder brother, Is His everlasting name. Savior, who can love like Thee, Gracious One of Bethany? 2 When the pangs of trial seize me, When the waves of sorrow roll, I will lay my head on Jesus, Refuge of the troubled soul. Surely, none can feel like Thee, Weeping One of Bethany! 3 Jesus wept! and still in glory He can mark each mourner’s tear; Loving to retrace the story Of the hearts He solaced here; Lord, when I am called to die, Let me think of Bethany. 4 Jesus wept! that tear of sorrow Is a legacy of love; Yesterday, today, tomorrow, He the same doth ever prove. Thou art all in all to me, Living One of Bethany.

O Holy Ghost, Thou gift divine

Author: B. Ringwaldt; S. Jonasson Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Holy Ghost, Thou gift divine, And giver of all blessing, Thou, with the Father and the Son, True Godhead art possessing, And from them both art shed abroad, Eternal Spirit, Lord and God, In Thee all Christians glory. 2 O Spirit blest, we Thee entreat: O grant us that we ever, With heart and soul, as it is meet, May serve our Lord and Savior And Him confess till our last breath, As Lord of life and Lord of death And give Him praise and honor. 3 Our hearts let new-created be, Our walk make pure and holy. Help us offense and sin to flee, And ever serve God solely, So that our faith in Christ, our Lord, May prove itself in deed and word Before the world about us. 4 Thy gracious heavenly dew let fall, The fainting Church to quicken; Thy soothing ointment pour on all Whose souls are sad and stricken; Sustain us, Lord, in evil days, And let our lives in all our ways Abound in love and mercy. 5 Give strength and courage to contend Against the hosts of evil, That we may vanquish, in the end, The world, the flesh, the devil; And when death's billow o'er us rolls, Bear Thou to heaven our ransomed souls, While dust to dust returneth.

When sinners see their lost condition

Author: M. B. Landstad Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When sinners see their lost condition, And feel the pressing load of sin, And Jesus cometh on His mission To heal the sin-sick heart within, All grief must flee before His grace, And joy divine will take its place. 2 When Jesus enters meek and lowly, To fill the home with sweetest peace; When hearts have felt His blessing holy, And found from sin complete release, Then light and calm within shall reign, And hearts divided love again. 3 When Jesus enters land and nation, And moves the people with His love, When yielding to His kind persuasion, Our hearts His truth and blessing prove, Then shall our life on earth be blest, The peace of God on us shall rest. 4 When Jesus comes, O blessed story! He works a change in heart and life; God's kingdom comes with power and glory To young and old, to man and wife; Through sacrament and living word, Faith, love and hope are now conferred. 5 Then stilled are cries and lamentation, Then loosed is every Satan's band, In death is hope and consolation, The soul is safe in Jesus' hand: When we shall walk through death's dark vale His rod and staff shall never fail. 6 O may He soon to every nation Find entrance where He is unknown, With life and light and full salvation That heathendom may be o'erthrown, And healing to the hearts may come In heathen land and Christian home! 7 Behold, He at the door is knocking! Hark, how He pleads our souls to win! Who hears His voice--the door unlocking-- To sup with him He enters in! How blest the day, my soul, how blest! When Jesus comes to be thy guest! 8 Behold, He at the door is calling, O heed, my soul, what He doth say; Deny Him not--O thought appalling-- And turn Him hot from thee away. My soul gives answer deep within: Thou blessed of the Lord, come in. 9 Come Thou who spreadest joy and gladness, Forever bide with me and mine, And bring to those who sit in sadness And gloom of death Thy light divine: A voice comes from my soul within; Thou blessed of the Lord, come in!

Come unto Me, ye weary

Author: W. C. Dix Appears in 256 hymnals Lyrics: 1 "Come unto Me, ye weary, And I will give you rest." O blessed voice of Jesus, Which comes to hearts oppressed; It tells of benediction, Of pardon, grace, and peace, Of joy that hath no ending, Of love which cannot cease. 2 "Come unto Me, ye wanderers, And I will give you light." O loving voice of Jesus, Which comes to cheer the night; Our hearts were filled with sadness, And we had lost our way; But morning brings us gladness, And songs the break of day. 3 "Come unto Me, ye fainting, And I will give you life." O cheering voice of Jesus, Which comes to end our strife; The foe is stern and eager, The fight is fierce and long; But Thou hast made us mighty, And stronger than the strong. 4 "And whosoever cometh, I will not cast him out." O patient voice of Jesus, Which drives away our doubt; Which, though we be unworthy Of love so great and free, Invites us very sinners To come, dear Lord, to Thee.

Near the cross was Mary weeping

Author: H. Mills Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Near the cross was Mary weeping, There her mournful station keeping, Gazing on her dying Son, There with speechless grief oppressed, Anguish-stricken, and distressed; Through her soul the sword had gone. 2 Who upon that Sufferer gazing, Bowed in sorrow so amazing, Would not with His mother mourn? 'Twas our sins brought Him from heaven; These the cruel nails had driven; All His griefs for us were borne. 3 When no eye its pity gave us, When there was no arm to save us, He His love and power displayed; By His stripes He wrought our healing; By His death, our life revealing, He for us the ransom paid. 4 Jesus, may Thy love constrain us That from sin we may refrain us, In Thy griefs may deeply grieve. Thee our best affections giving, To Thy glory ever living, May we in Thy glory live.

In heaven is joy and gladness

Author: J. N. Brun Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In heaven is joy and gladness, But while I sojourn here, So often, bowed in sadness, I shed the bitter tear. Here ills, alway prevailing, Distress the Savior's bride; Here mirth is lost in wailing; In heaven but joys abide. 2 I do not strive for pleasures That fools pursue on earth, I sow in tears for treasures That have more lasting worth. If, when my journey endeth, The sheaves I gather in, The bliss the fool pretendeth I do not yearn to win. 3 For I shall see my Jesus, He is my hope and stay; The cross that me oppresses Anon He takes away. Then nothing more shall grieve me, And no adversity Shall of my joy bereave me; Soon I shall Jesus see.
