O Jesus, our salvation

Author: J. Hamilton Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, our salvation, Low at Thy cross we lie: Lord, in thy great compassion, Hear, our bewailing cry. We come to Thee with mourning, We come to Thee in woe; With contrite hearts returning, And tears that overflow. 2 O gracious Intercessor! O Priest within the veil, Please for each lost transgressor The blood that cannot fail. We spread our sins before Thee, We tell them one by one: O, for Thy name's great glory, Forgive all we have done. 3 O, by Thy cross and passion, Thy tears and agony, And crown of cruel fashion, And death on Calvary; By all that untold suffering, Endured by Thee alone; O Priest, O spotless Offering, Plead, for Thou didst atone! 4 And in these hearts now broken Re-enter Thou and reign, And say, by that dear token, We are absolved again. And build us up, and guide us, And guard us day by day; And in Thy presence hide us, And take our sins away.

There is a blessed home

Author: Sir Henry W. Baker Appears in 193 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a blessed home Beyond this land of woe, Where trials never come, Nor tears of sorrow flow; Where faith is lost in sight, And patient hope is crowned, And everlasting light Its glory throws around. 2 There is a land of peace, Good angels know it well: Glad songs that never cease Within its portals swell; Around its glorious throne Ten thousand saints adore Christ, with the Father One, And Spirit, evermore. 3 O joy all joys beyond, To see the Lamb who died, And count each sacred wound In hands, and feet, and side; To give to Him the praise Of every triumph won, And sing through endless days The great things He hath done! 4 Look up, ye saints of God, Nor fear to tread below The path your Savior trod Of daily toil and woe; Wait but a little while In uncomplaining love, His own most gracious smile Shall welcome you above.

Thou hidden love of God, whose height

Author: G. Tersteegen Appears in 266 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height, Whose depth unfathomed no man knows, I see from far Thy beauteous light, Inly I sigh for Thy repose: My heart is pained, nor can it be At rest, till it find rest in Thee. 2 Is there a thing beneath the sun That strives with Thee my heart to share? Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone, The Lord of every motion there. Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it has found repose in Thee. 3 O hide this self from me, that I No more, but Christ in me, may live! My base affections crucify, Nor let one favorite sin survive; In all things nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee. 4 Each moment draw from earth away My heart that lowly waits Thy call! Speak to my inmost soul, and say I am thy love, thy God, thy all! To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice, To taste Thy love, be all my choice!

Author: John S.B. Monsell Appears in 79 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O dear, dear Savior! My spirit turns for rest, My peace is in Thy favor, My pillow on Thy breast; Though all the world deceive me, I know that I am Thine, And Thou wilt never leave me, O blessed Savior mine. 2 In Thee my trust abideth, On Thee my hope relies, O Thou whose love provideth For all beneath the skies; O Thou whose mercy found me, From bondage set me free, And then for ever bound me With threefold cords to Thee. 3 My grief is in the dullness With which this sluggish heart Doth open to the fulness Of all Thou wouldst impart; My joy is in Thy beauty Of holiness divine, My comfort in the duty That binds my life in Thine. 4 Alas, that I should ever Have failed in love to Thee, The only one who never Forgot or slighted me! O for a heart to love Thee More truly as I ought, And nothing place above Thee In deed, or word, or thought. 5 O for that choicest blessing Of living in Thy love, And thus on earth possessing The peace of heaven above; O for the bliss that by it The soul securely knows The holy calm and quiet Of faith's serene repose!

Midnight's solemn hour is tolling, His chariot wheels are nearer rolling; He comes; prepare, ye virgins wise. Rise up; with willing feet Go forth, the Bridegroom meet; Hallelujah! Bear through the night your well-trimmed light. Speed forth to join the marriage rite. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, Her heart with deep delight is springing, At once she wakes, she hastens glorious, In grace arrayed, by truth victorious; Her grief is joy, her night is day: All hail, incarnate Lord, Our crown, and our reward! Hallelujah! We hast alone, in pomp of song, And gladsome join the marriage throng. 3 Hear Thy praise, O Lord, ascending From tongues of men and angels, blending With harp and lute and psaltery. By Thy pearly gates in wonder We stand, and swell the voice of thunder, In bursts of choral melody: No vision ever brought, No ear hath ever caught, Such bliss and joy: We raise the song, we swell the throng, To praise Thee ages all along.

Author: Anon. Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We gather, we gather, dear Jesus to bring The breathings of love 'mid the blossoms of spring; Our Maker Redeemer, we gratefully raise Our hearts and our voices in hymning Thy praise, Our hearts and our voices in hymning Thy praise. 2 When stooping to earth from the brightness of heaven, Thy blood for our ransom so freely was given, Thou deignedst to listen while children adored, With joyful Hosannas, the blest of the Lord, With joyful Hosannas, the blest of the Lord. 3 Those arms, which embraced little children of old, Still love to encircle the lambs of the fold; That grace which inviteth the wandering home, Hath never forbidden the youngest to come, Hath never forbidden the youngest to come. 4 Hosanna! Hosanna! Great Teacher, we raise Our hearts and our voices in hymning Thy praise; For precept and promise so graciously given, For blessings of earth, and for glories of heaven, For blessings of earth, and for glories of heaven.

Our feeble steps do Thou direct, Our enemies restrain. 5 When flesh shall fail, then strengthen Thou The spirit from above; Make us to feel Thy service sweet, And light Thy yoke of love. 6 So shall we faultless stand at last Before Thy Father's throne; The blessedness for ever ours, The glory all Thine own.

We sing the praise of Him who died

Author: T. Kelly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 194 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of Him who died, Of Him who died upon the cross; The sinner's hope let all deride, For this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see In shining letters, God is love; He bears our sins upon the tree, He brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross, it takes our guilt away, It holds the fainting spirit up, It cheers with hope the gloomy day, And sweetens every bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, And nerves the feeble arm for fight, It takes its terror from the grave, And gilds the bed of death with light. 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heaven above.

When I survey the wondrous cross

Author: I. Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,046 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. 3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all!
