Let my life be hid in Thee

Author: John Bull Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let my life be hid in Thee, Life of life and Light of light! Love’s illimitable Sea! Depth of peace and power the height! Let my life be hid in Thee From vexation and annoy; Calm in Thy tranquility, All my mourning turned to joy. 2 Let my life be hid in Thee When alarms are gathering round, Covered with Thy panoply, Safe within Thy holy ground. Let my life be hid in Thee; In the world, and yet above; Hid in Thine eternity, In the ocean of Thy love. Amen.

Wake the Song of Jubilee

Author: Leonard Bacon, 1802-1881 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 203 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wake the song of jubilee, Let it echo o’er the sea! Now is come the promised hour, Jesus reigns with sov’reign pow'r. Come, you nations, join and sing, To the throne your praises bring; Let it sound from shore to shore: "Jesus reigns forevermore." 2 Now the desert lands rejoice, And the islands join their voice; Yes, the whole creation sings, "Jesus is the King of kings." See the ransomed millions stand, Palms of conquest in their hands; This before the throne their strain: "Hell is vanquished, death is slain." 3 Blessing, honor, glory, might Are the Paschal Victim's right; Thrones and pow'rs in homage fall, To the Lamb and Lord of all, Time has nearly reached its sum; Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" Jesus, whom all worlds adore, Come, and reign forevermore. Topics: Second Coming Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Holy Lamb, Who Thee Receive

Author: Anna S. Dober; John Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 82 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Holy Lamb, who Thee receive, Who in Thee begin to live, Day and night they cry to Thee, As Thou art, so let us be! Jesu, see my panting breast! See I pant in Thee to rest! Gladly would I now be clean, Cleanse me now from every sin. 2. Fix, O fix my wavering mind! To Thy cross my spirit bind; Earthly passions far remove, Swallow up my soul in love. Dust and ashes though we be, Full of sin and misery, Thine we are, Thou Son of God! Take the purchase of Thy blood! 3. Who in heart on Thee believes, He the atonement now receives, He with joy beholds Thy face, Triumphs in Thy pardoning grace. See, ye sinners, see the flame, Rising from the slaughtered Lamb, Marks the new, the living way, Leading to eternal day! 4. Jesus, when this light we see, All our soul’s athirst for Thee; When Thy quickening power we prove, All our heart dissolves in love. Boundless wisdom, power divine, Love unspeakable are Thine: Praise by all to Thee be giv’n, Sons of earth, and hosts of Heav’n!

'Tis My Happiness Below

Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 261 hymnals First Line: ’Tis my happiness below Lyrics: 1 ’Tis my happiness below Not to live without the cross, But the Savior’s power to know, Sanctifying every loss; Trials must and will befall, But with humble faith to see Love inscribed upon them all, This is happiness to me. 2 God, in Israel, sows the seeds, Of affliction, pain and toil; These spring up, and choke the weeds Which would else o’erspread the soil; Trials make the promise sweet, Trials give new life to prayer; Trials bring me to His feet, Lay me low, and keep me there. 3 Did I meet no trials here, No chastisement by the way, Might I not, with reason, fear I should prove a castaway? Bastards may escape the rod, Sunk in earthly, vain delight; But the true born child of God, Must not, would not, if he might. Used With Tune: MADRID Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W.

Savior, I have need of Thee; Faith is faint, and hope is weak; Far and farther seems to be That fair home of Thine I seek; Home and rest, and peace divine From my seeking seem to flee; Yet, dear Savior, I am Thine; Come, for I have need of Thee. 2. Let me know that love of Thine Which all knowledge passeth still; Let me feel Thy peace divine: All my spirit sweetly fill; Life of my life wilt Thou be; Then betide whatever may, It shall be enough for me, I shall walk with Thee today.

See How Great a Flame Aspires

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 112 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See how great a flame aspires, kindled by a spark of grace. Jesus’ love the nations fires, sets the kingdoms on a blaze. To bring fire on earth he came, kindled in some hearts it is; O that all might catch the flame, all partake the glorious bliss! 2 When he first the work begun, small and feeble was his day; now the Word doth swiftly run, now it wins its widening way; more and more it spreads and grows, ever mighty to prevail; sin’s strongholds it now o’erthrows, shakes the trembling gates of hell. 3 Saints of God, your Savior praise, who the door hath opened wide; he hath given the word of grace, Jesus’ word is glorified; Jesus mighty to redeem, who alone the work hath wrought; worthy is the work of him, him who spake a world from naught. 4 Saw ye not the cloud arise, little as a human hand? Now it spreads along the skies, hangs o’er all the thirsty land. Lo! the promise of a shower drops already from above; but the Lord will shortly pour all the spirit of his love.
