Just as I am, without One Plea

Author: Charlotte Elliott Appears in 2,213 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 2 Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot, To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 3 Just as I am, tho' tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt, Fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 4 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind; Sight, riches, healing of the mind, Yea, all I need, in Thee to find, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 5 Just as I am! Thou wilt receive, Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; Because Thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come. 6 Just as I am! Thy love unknown Has broken every barrier down; Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come.

Art thou Weary, art thou Languid

Author: J. M. Neale Appears in 653 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distrest? “Come to Me,” saith One, “and, coming, Be at rest.” 2 Hath He marks to lead me to Him, If He be my guide? “In His feet and hands are wound-prints, And His side.” 3 Is there diadem, as monarch, That His brow adorns? “Yea, a crown, in very surety, But of thorns.” 4 If I find Him, if I follow, What His guerdon here? “Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear.” 5 If I still hold closely to Him, What has He at last? “Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed.” 6 If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay? “Not till earth and not till heaven Pass away.” 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is He sure to bless? “Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, Yes.” Topics: The Christian Life Call and Repentance Used With Tune: BULLINGER

O Thou before whose Presence

Author: S. J. Stone Appears in 68 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou before whose presence Naught evil may come in, Yet who dost look in mercy Down on this world of sin; O give us noble purpose To set the sin-bound free, And Christ-like tender pity To seek the lost for Thee. 2 Fierce is our subtle foeman: The forces at his hand With woes that none can number Despoil the pleasant land; All they who war against them, In strife so keen and long, Must in their Savior's armor Be stronger than the strong. 3 So hast Thou wrought among us The great things that we see: For things that are we thank Thee, And for the things to be. For bright hope is uplifting Faint hands and feeble knees, To strive beneath Thy blessing For greater things than these. 4 Lead on, O Love and Mercy, O Purity and Power, Lead on till peace eternal Shall close this battle-hour: Till all who prayed and struggled To set their brethren free, In triumph meet to praise Thee, Most Holy Trinity.

He comes in grace, God hath deigned to hear me; I may come before His face, He is inly near me; He o'erthrows All my foes, Death and hell are vanquished, In whose bonds I languished. 4 Father, hymns to Thee we raise, Here and once in heaven; And the Son and Spirit praise, Who our bonds have riven! Evermore We adore Thee whose love hath stirred us, And whose pity heard us. Topics: The Christian Life Call and Repentance Used With Tune: TRAEDER NU TIL HERRENS BORD

What a Friend we Have in Jesus

Author: Joseph Scriven Appears in 1,758 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear; What a privilege to carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pains we bear, All because we do not carry Ev'rything to God in prayer. 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged: Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness; Take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there.
