My Crucified Savior, Despised and Contemned

Author: Andreas Carl Rutström, (1721-1772); Claude W. Foss Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My crucified Saviour, despised and contemned, Thou innocent Victim for sinners condemned, Thy garments are blood-stained, Thy spirit doth groan, In agony prostrate, Thou suff'rest alone. 2 Thou weepest and moanest in conflict and prayer, And writhest in agony, pain and despair; In thirty years' anguish our path Thou has trod, And diest at last to redeem us to God. 3 Our Saviour thus finished God's plan with our race, And laid the foundation for pardon and grace, And then rose triumphant, the conquering Lord, Appeased the Creator and mankind restored. 4 Restored to the bliss that was lost in the fall, Yea, greater, for Jesus prepared for us all Eternal salvation and mansions above; Come, poor, burdened sinners, rejoice in His love. 5 Yea come, trembling sinner, come just as thou art, Thy cares and thy sorrows to Jesus impart; In Him seek salvation from death and the grave, For Jesus is willing and might to save. Amen.

O Precious Thought! Some Day the Mist Shall Vanish

Author: Carl Olof Rosenius, (1816-1868) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O precious thought! Some day the mist shall vanish; Some day the web of gloom shall be unspun. A day shall break whose beams the night shall banish, For Christ, the Lamb, shall shine, the glorious Sun! 2 O precious thought! No more will faith be anguished By doubt's uncertainties, by trembling fears. The pangs that wound the heart shall all be vanquished, And light shall flood the gloom of bygone years. 3 Some day each mystery shall find solution, Each troublous question an undimmed reply. The hidden deeps that now seem all confusion My God will open up and clarify. 4 O precious thought! With vision all unclouded, The One whom I believed shall I behold. Now from my sight His hallowed form is shrouded, Then He shall fill my soul with bliss untold. 5 Some day I'll see my ever-faithful Saviour, Who pardoned all my sin in boundless grace. Here clouds of trial oft obscure His favor, There I'll behold the brightness of His face. 6 O precious thought! All sinless, pure, and holy, By flesh and Satan nevermore oppressed. My thoughts and deeds shall glorify Him solely, Who brought my soul unto His perfect rest. 7 The saints of God, all clad in spotless raiment, Before the Lamb shall wave victorious palms. For bliss eternal Christ has rendered payment, Earth's tearful strains give way to joyous psalms. 8 I pray Thee, O my precious Saviour, waken These hallowed thoughts of Paradise in me, And let them solace me, till I am taken To dwell in Salem evermore with Thee. Amen. Topics: Hope and Aspiration; Names and Office of Christ Light; Names and Office of Christ Sun Used With Tune: O SÄLLA LAND

Come, Let Us Join Our Friends Above

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 348 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our friends above, That have obtained the prize, And on the eagle wings of love To joy celestial rise. 2 Let all the saints terrestrial sing With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King In earth and heav'n are one. 3 One family, we dwell in Him, One Church above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. 4 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of His host has crossed the flood, And part is crossing now. 5 E'en now by faith we join our hands With those that went before, And greet the blood-besprinkled bands On the eternal shore. 6 Lord Jesus, be our constant Guide, And when the word is given, Bid the cold waves of death divide, And land us all in heaven.

O Thou in Whom Thy Saints Repose

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou in Whom Thy saints repose, When life's brief conflict finds its close, Behold us met before Thy face To hallow this their resting-place: Safe are the souls whom Thou dost keep; And safely here their dust shall sleep. 2 Thou knowest, Lord,--for Thou hast wept Beside the tomb where Lazarus slept,-- What tears must flow, what hearts must bleed, When here we sow the precious seed: Thou still rememb'rest, on Thy throne, Thy garden grave and sealed stone. 3 Bid then Thy hosts encamp around This chosen spot of holy ground: Here let calm hope with memory dwell, And faith of heavenly comfort tell: No thought of ill, no footstep rude Profane the sacred solitude. 4 When here Thy mourners shall repair In lonely grief and trembling prayer, Lift Thou sad hearts and streaming eyes To those fair glades of Paradise, Where safe within the guarded gate Thy ransomed souls in patience wait.

The Little While I Linger Here

Author: Franz Mikael Franzen; Rev. Peter Magnus Lindberg Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The little while I linger here Should grief and sorrow fret me? No; Jesus is my Shepherd dear, He never will forget me. He gave His life His flock to save, His Spirit and His Word He gave. With these He's ever with us. 2 I hear Him speak, I know His voice, I go where'er He beckons. His own He knows, they are His choice, Their numbers, too, He reckons. And He will seek the straying sheep, The feeble in His bosom keep, And gently raise the fallen. 3 He strengthens me with living bread, With waters sweet and gracious, Which flow from life's great Fountain-head, With peace and joy most precious. Though rough and thorny is my way, If from His path I do not stray, I shall not be forsaken. 4 How vain the worldling's pomp and show, How brief his joys and pleasures! The night approaches now, and lo! We leave all earthly treasures. Then, what are all things here below To Jesus' promise, "Where I go, I will receive you also." Amen.

Save Thy harvest from disaster, Let no foe Thy seed despoil. When, upon Thy glad returning, Tares and chaff are doomed to burning, Then within Thy garner, Lord, May the precious wheat be stored.

From Peaceful Slumber Waking

Author: Johan Olof Wallin Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From peaceful slumber waking, We sing, O Lord, Thy praise. When o'er the world is breaking Another day of grace-- A day that soon shall perish, As yesterdays are past-- O, teach us, then, to cherish Each moment as our last. 2 Farther of light and beauty, The light divine us send To see and do our duty, Lest when this day shall end Our conscience doth accuse us Of sin and trespass done, And shame our face suffuses At blush of setting sun. 3 Give God thy heart, thy labor, Walk in thy Saviour's grace, And be unto thy neighbor A present help always: The Name of Christ we hallow Not by our faith alone; If we His path would follow, His will through us be done. 4 Blest be each faithful servant, Whene'er the Lord shall come; The dutiful and fervent He taketh to His home, To share with Him in glory What eye hath not beheld, Nor tongue hath told in story, Nor mortal heart hath held.
