Christ the Believer's all
Appears in 50 hymnals First Line: Lamb of God, we fall before thee Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before thee,
Humbly trusting in thy cross;
That alone be all our glory,
All things else are only dross.
Thee we own a perfect Savior,
Only source of all that's good.
Every grace and every favor
Comes to us through Jesus' blood.
2 Jesus gives us true repentance,
By his Spirit sent from heaven;
Whispers this transporting sentence,
"Son, thy sins are now forgiven."
Faith he grants us to believe it,
Grateful hearts his love to prize;
Want we wisdom? he will give it;
Hearing ears, and seeing eyes.
3 Jesus gives us pure affections,
Wills to do what he requires;
Makes us follow his directions,
And what he commands--inspires.
All our prayers, and all our praises,
Rightly offer'd in his name,
He that dictates them is Jesus;
He that answers is the same. Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him

Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: Lord, should we leave thy hallow'd feet Lyrics: 1 Lord, should we leave thy hallow'd feet,
To whom should we repair?
Where else such holy comforts meet,
As spring perennial there?
2 Thou art the way--through thee alone
From sin and death we flee:
And he who would the Father seek,
Must seek him, Lord, by thee.
3 Thou art the truth--thy word alone
Sound wisdom can impart:
Thou only canst inform the mind,
And purify the heart.
4 Thou art the life--the rending tomb
Proclaims thy conqu'ring arm:
And those who put their trust in thee,
Nor death nor hell shall harm.
5 Thou art the way, the truth, the life:
Grant us that way to know,
That truth to keep, that life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow. Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him

Excellency of the Religion of Jesus
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: Is there on earth a nobler name Lyrics: 1 Is there on earth a nobler name
Than Jesus to be found?
Who can assert a higher claim,
Or more with truth abound?
2 The Son of God, adorned with grace,
Commission'd from above,
He bears to our rebellious race
The messages of love.
3 Behold his gentle spirit feel
The suff'rings of mankind;
And with a word the sorrows heal
Of Body and of mind.
4 How lofty were the truths he taught!
How pure the life he led!
And shall another Lord be sought,
And we disown our Head?
5 Asham'd of Jesus, shall we let
This precious Savior go?
And, basely, at defiance set
Him who hath lov'd us so?
6 Forbid it, Lord! nor let us yield
To this unworthy shame:
Let each, with holy courage fill'd,
Rejoice in Jesus' name.

Do our imperious lusts subdue,
And form our wretched hearts anew.

Thy cheering words awake our joys;
Thy words allay the stormy wind,
And calm the surges of the mind.

'Tis he sustains my fainting heart;
Else would my hope forever die,
And ev'ry cheering ray depart.

Do I not find his healing voice
The tempest of my fears control,
And bid my drooping pow'rs rejoice?
3 What less than thine almighty word
Can raise my heart from earth and dust,
And bid me cleave to thee, my Lord,
My life, my treasure, and my trust!
4 And when my cheerful hope can say,
"I love my God, and taste his grace;"
Lord, is it not thy blissful ray,
Which brings this dawn of sacred peace?

Forever dwell, O God of love,
And light and heav'nly peace impart,
Sweet earnest of the joys above.

The Holy spirit a Comforter
Amidst a world of hopes and fears
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Amidst a world of hopes and fears,
A world of cares, and toils, and tears,
Where foes alarm, and dangers threat,
And pleasures kill, and glories cheat:
2 Send down, O Lord! a heavenly ray,
To guide me in the doubtful way;
And o'er me hold thy shield of pow'r,
To guard me in the dang'rous hour.
3 Teach me the flatt'ring paths to shun,
In which the thoughtless many run,
Who for a shade the substance miss,
And grasp their ruin in their bliss.
4 May never pleasure, wealth, or pride,
Allure my wand'ring soul aside;
But through this maze of mortal ill,
Safe lead me to thy heav'nly hill.
5 There glories shine, and pleasures roll,
That charm, delight, transport the soul;
And every panting wish shall be
Possess'd of boundless bliss in thee.

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. Topics: Holy Spirit His Influence
