When His Salvation Bringing

Author: John King Appears in 422 hymnals First Line: When, His salvation bringing Lyrics: 1 When, His salvation bringing, To Zion Jesus came, The children all stood singing, Hosannas to His name; Nor did their zeal offend Him, But, as He rode along, He let them still attend Him, And smiled to hear their song. 2 And since the Lord retaineth His love for children still, Tho' now as King He reigneth On Zion's heav'nly hill, We'll flock around His banner, Who sits upon His throne, And cry aloud, "Hosanna To David's royal Son." 3 For should we fail proclaiming Our great Redeemer's praise, The stones, our silence shaming, Would their Hosannas raise. But shall we only render The tribute of our words? No; while our hearts are tender, They too shall be the Lord's. Topics: Childhood and Youth Childhood Used With Tune: TOURS

Jesus, Jesus, only Jesus

Author: A. Crull; Ludaemilie Elizabeth of Schwertzburg-Rudelstadt Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Jesus, only Jesus, Can my heartfelt longing still; See, I pledge myself to Jesus, What He wills, alone to will. For my heart, which He hath filled, Ever cries: Lord, as Thou wilt. 2 One there is for whom I'm living, Whom I love most tenderly; Jesus, unto whom I'm giving, What in love He gave to me. Jesus' blood hides all my guilt; Lead me, Lord, then, as Thou wilt. 3 Seems a thing to me a treasure, Which displeasing is to Thee, Then remove such dang'rous pleasure; Give instead what profits me. Let my heart by Thee be stilled, Make me Thine, Lord, as Thou wilt. 4 Grant that I may e'er endeavor Thy good pleasure to fulfill, In me, through me, with me ever, Lord, accomplish Thou Thy will. Let me die, Lord, on Thee built, When, and where, and as Thou wilt. 5 Lord, my praise shall be unceasing, For Thou gav'st Thyself to me, And besides so many a blessing That I now sing joyfully: Be it unto me, my shield, As Thou wilt, Lord, as Thou wilt.

There's a Friend for little Children

Author: Albert Midlane Appears in 248 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There's a Friend for little children Above the bright blue sky, A Friend who never changeth, Whose love will never die; Our earthly friends may fail us, And change with changing years, This Friend is always worthy The precious Name He bears. 2 There's a rest for little children Above the bright blue sky, Who love the blessed Savior And Abba, Father, cry; A rest from ev'ry turmoil, From sin and danger free, Where ev'ry little pilgrim Shall rest eternally. 3 There's a home for little children Above the bright blue sky, Where Jesus reigns in glory,-- A home of peace and joy; No home on earth is like it, Nor can with it compare, For ev'ry one is happy, Nor could be happier, there. 4 There's a crown for little children Above the bright blue sky, And all who look for Jesus Shall wear it by and by; A crown of brightest glory, Which He will then bestow On all who've found His favor, And loved His Name below.

Father, again in Jesus' Name we Meet

Author: Lucy E. G. Whitmore Appears in 131 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, again in Jesus' name we meet, And bow in penitence beneath Thy feet: Again to Thee our feeble voices raise To sue for mercy, and to sing Thy praise. 2 O we would bless Thee for Thy ceaseless care, And all Thy work from day to day declare; Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned? Does not Thine arm encircle us around? 3 Alas, unworthy of Thy boundless love, Too oft with careless feet from Thee we rove; But now, encouraged by Thy voice, we come, Returning sinners to a Father's home. 4 O by that Name in Whom all fullness dwells, O by that love which ev'ry love excels, O by that blood so freely shed for sin, Open blest mercy's gate, and take us in.

My God is any Hour so Sweet

Author: Charlotte Elliott Appears in 288 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God is any hour so sweet, From blush of morn to evening star, As that which calls me to Thy feet, The hour of prayer? 2 Blest is that tranquil hour of morn, And blest that solemn hour of eve, When, on the wings of prayer upborne, The world I leave. 3 Then is my strength by Thee renewed; Then are my sins by Thee forgiven; Then dost Thou cheer my solitude With hopes of heaven. 4 No words can tell what sweet relief Here for my ev'ry want I find, What strength for warfare, balm for grief, What peace of mind. 5 Hushed is each doubt, gone every fear, My spirit seems in heaven to stay, And e'en the penitential tear Is wiped away. 6 Lord, till I reach that blissful shore, No privilege so dear shall be As thus my inmost soul to pour In prayer to Thee.

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 386 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O that the Lord would guide my ways, To keep His statutes still! O that my God would grant me grace, To know and do His will! 2 Order my footsteps by Thy word, And make my heart sincere; Let sin have no dominion, Lord, But keep my conscience clear. 3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray, A stricter watch to keep; And should I e'er forget Thy way, Restore Thy wand'ring sheep. 4 Make me to walk in Thy commands; 'Tis a delightful road: Nor let my head, or heart, or hands, Offend against my God.

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me

Author: A. M. Toplady Appears in 2,976 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the perfect cure, Cleanse me, Lord, and make me pure. 2 Not the labors of my hands Can fulfill Thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring; Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the Fountain fly: Wash me, Savior, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne; Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee!

Stand up, stand up for Jesus

Author: George Duffield Appears in 1,836 hymnals Refrain First Line: Stand up, ye soldiers Lyrics: 1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high His royal banner, It must not suffer loss: From vict'ry unto vict'ry His army He shall lead, Till ev'ry foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict In this His glorious day: Ye that are men now serve Him Against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose. 3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Stand in His strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you, Ye dare not trust your own: Put on the gospel armor, Each piece put on with prayer; Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there. 4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The strife will not be long; This day the din of battle, The next the victor's song: To him that overcometh A crown of life shall be; He with the King of Glory Shall reign eternally.
