At your side.

Send your grace that they may conquer
In the strife.

Can my heartfelt longing still.
Lo, 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;
Unto Jesus I am giving
What in love he gave to me.
Jesus' blood hides all my guilt--
Lord, oh, lead me as thou wilt.
3 What to me may seem a treasure
But displeasing is to thee --
Oh, remove such harmful pleasure;
Give instead what profits me.
Let my heart by thee be stilled;
Make me thine, Lord, as thou wilt.
4 Let me earnestly endeavor
Thy good pleasure to fulfill;
In me, through me, with me ever,
Lord, accomplish thou thy will.
In thy holy image built,
Let me die, Lord, as thou wilt.
5 Jesus, constant be my praises,
For thou unto me didst bring
Thine own self and all thy graces
That I joyfully may sing:
Be it unto me, my Shield,
As thou wilt, Lord, as thou wilt. Topics: Redeemer; Redeemer Used With Tune: JESUS, JESUS, NICHTS ALS JESUS

Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,220 hymnals First Line: Jesus. Lover of my soul Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide.
Oh, receive my soul at last!
2 Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on thee.
Leave, ah, leave me not alone;
Still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed;
All my help from thee I bring.
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
More than all in thee I find.
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name;
I am all unrighteousness.
False and full of sin I am;
Thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin.
Let the healing streams abound;
Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art;
Freely let me take of thee.
Spring thou up within my heart;
Rise to all eternity. Topics: Redeemer; Redeemer Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Safe with you eternally.

To your happy home above.

You once died that I might live.

You will love me to the end.

Jesus Christ, My Sure Defense
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure defense
And my Savior, now is living!
Knowing this, my confidence
Rests upon the hope he's giving,
Though the night of death be fraught
Still with many an anxious thought.
2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives;
I, too, unto life shall waken.
Endless joy my Savior gives;
Shall my courage, then, be shaken?
Shall I fear, or could the head
Rise and leave his members dead?
3 No, too closely am I bound
Unto him by hope forever;
Faith's strong hand the rock has found,
Grasped it, and will leave it never.
Even death now cannot part
From its Lord the trusting heart.
4 I am flesh and must return
Unto dust, whence I am taken;
But by faith I now discern
That from death I shall awaken
With my Savior to abide
In his glory, at his side.
5 Glorified, I shall anew
With this flesh then be enshrouded;
In this body I shall view
God, my Lord, with eyes unclouded;
In this flesh I then shall see
Jesus Christ eternally. Topics: Easter; Easter Used With Tune: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT Text Sources: D. M. Luthers...Geistliche Lieder und Psalmen, Berlin, 1653, abr.; Trans. st. 4-5 The Lutheran Hymnal, St. Louis, 1941

The Day Is Surely Drawing Near
Author: Bartholomäus Ringwaldt, 1532-99; Philip A. Peter, 1832-1919 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near
When God's Son, the Anointed,
Shall with great majesty appear
As judge of all appointed.
All mirth and laughter then shall cease
When flames on flames will still increase,
As Scripture truly teaches.
2 A trumpet loud shall then resound
And all the earth be shaken.
Then all who in their graves are found
Shall from their sleep awaken
And with the living in that hour
By the Almighty's boundless pow'r
Be changed at his commanding.
3 A book is opened then to all,
A record truly telling
What each has done, both great and small,
When he on earth was dwelling,
And ev'ry heart be clearly seen,
And all be known as they have been
In thoughts and words and actions.
4 Then woe to those who scorned the Lord
And sought but carnal pleasures,
Who here despised his precious Word
And loved their earthly treasures!
With shame and trembling they will stand
And at the judge's stern command
To Satan be delivered.
5 My Savior paid the debt I owe
And for my sin was smitten;
Within the Book of Life I know
My name has now been written.
I will not doubt, for I am free,
And Satan cannot threaten me;
There is no condemnation!
6 O Jesus Christ, do not delay,
But hasten our salvation;
We often tremble on our way
In fear and tribulation.
Your saints are waiting patiently;
Come soon, Redeemer; make us free
From ev'ry evil. Amen. Topics: End Time; End Time Used With Tune: ES IST GEWISSLICH

When in the Hour of Utmost Need
Author: Paul Eber, 1511-69; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When in the hour of utmost need
We know not where to look for aid,
When days and nights of anxious thought
Nor help nor counsel yet have brought,

That we may meet before your throne;
To you, O faithful God, we cry
For rescue in our misery.
3 For you have promised, Lord, to heed
Your children's cries in time of need
Through him whose name alone is great,
Our Savior and our advocate.
4 And so we come, O God, today
And all our woes before you lay.
Be with us in our anguish still;
Free us at last from ev'ry ill,
5 So that with all our heart we may
To you our glad thanksgiving pay,
Then walk obedient to your Word
And now and ever praise you, Lord. Topics: Prayer; Prayer Used With Tune: WENN WIR IN HÖCHSTEN NÖTEN SEIN
