Lord, in Thy Presence
Lord, who throughout these forty days
Author: Claudia Frances Hernaman, 1838-1898 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, who throughout these forty days
for us didst fast and pray,
teach us with thee to mourn our sins,
and close by thee to stay.
2. As thou with Satan didst contend
and didst the victory win,
O give us strength in thee to fight,
in thee to conquer sin.
3. As thou didst hunger bear and thirst,
so teach us, gracious Lord,
to die to self, and chiefly live
by thy most holy word.
4. And through these days of penitence,
and through thy Passiontide,
yea, evermore, in life and death,
Jesus! with us abide.
5. Abide with us, that so, this life
of suffering overpast,
an Easter of unending joy
we may attain at last!

Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee
Author: St. Bernard of Clairvaux; Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,023 hymnals First Line: Jesus! the very thought of Thee Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of thee
with sweetness fills the breast;
but sweeter far thy face to see,
and in thy presence rest.
2 O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
to those who fall, how kind thou art!
How good to those who seek!
3 But what to those who find? Ah, this
nor tongue nor pen can show;
the love of Jesus, what it is,
none but his loved ones know.
4 Jesus, our only joy be thou,
as thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus, be thou our glory now,
and through eternity.

Praise for the Fountain opened
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,471 hymnals First Line: There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Emmanuel's veins Refrain First Line: Will you wash in the crimson tide Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains:
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away:
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins away;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow'r,
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved, to sin no more:
Be saved, to sin no more,
Be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved to sin no more.
4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die:
And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
5 When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save:
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save,
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save;
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save.

There Is a Name I Love to Hear
Author: Frederick Whitfield, 1829-1904 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 566 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a name I love to hear;
I love to sing its worth:
It sounds like music in mine ear,
The sweetest name on earth.
2 It tells me of a Savior's love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner's perfect plea.
3 It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in my sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below.
4 Jesus! the name I love so well,
The name I love to hear;

No heart conceive how dear. Topics: Jesus Christ Names and Titles; Jesus Names and Titles; Jesus Passion Scripture: 1 John 4:8 Used With Tune: EVAN

O Christ, Our Hope, Our Heart's Desire
Author: John Chandler Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our hope, our heart's desire,
redemption's only spring,
Creator of the world art thou,
its Savior and its King.
2 How vast the mercy and the love
which laid our sins on thee,
and led thee to a cruel death
to set thy people free.
3 But now the bands of death are burst,
the ransom has been paid;
and thou art on thy Father's throne,
in glorious robes arrayed.
4 O Christ, be thou our lasting joy,
our ever great reward;
our only glory may it be
to glory in the Lord!

O Christ, Our Hope, Our Heart's Desire
Why do we mourn departing friends?
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 522 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
Why do we mourn departing friends,
Or shake at death's alarms?
'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends,
To call them to his arms.
2.
Are we not tending upward too,
As fast as time can move?
Nor should we wish the hours more slow
To keep us from our Love.
3.
Why should we tremble to convey
Their bodies to the tomb?
There the dear flesh of Jesus lay,
And left a long perfume.
4.
The graves of all his saints he blest,
And softened every bed:
Where should the dying members rest,
But with their dying Head?
5.
Thence he arose, ascended high,
And showed our feet the way;
Up to the Lord our souls shall fly
At the great rising day.
6.
Then let the last loud trumpet sound,
And bid our kindred rise:
Awake, ye nations under ground;
Ye saints, ascend the skies!

Too Many, Lord, Abuse Thy Grace
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Too many, Lord, abuse Thy grace,
In this licentious day;
And while they boast they see Thy face,
They turn their own away.
2. Thy Book displays a gracious light
That can the blind restore;
But these are dazzled by the sight,
And blinded still the more.
3. The pardon, such presume upon,
They do not beg, but steal;
And when they plead it at Thy throne,
Oh! where’s the Spirit’s seal?
4. Was it for this, ye lawless tribe,
The dear Redeemer bled?
Is this the grace the saints imbibe
From Christ the living Head?
5. Ah, Lord, we know Thy chosen few
Are fed with heavenly fare;
But these, the wretched husks they chew
Proclaim them what they are.
6. The liberty our hearts implore
Is not to live in sin;
But still to wait at wisdom’s door,
Till mercy calls us in. Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)
