Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,208 hymnals 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, O 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 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.

Rock of Ages, shelter me

Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,895 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Rock of ages, shelter me, Let me hide myself in thee; Let the water and the blood, From thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2. Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil 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, Black, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die. 4. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyestrings break in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of ages, shelter me, Let me hide myself in thee.

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: Sarah F. Adams Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 2,480 hymnals Lyrics: Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee, E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song would be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. There let the way appear Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Then with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Or if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upwards I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Amen.

There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,467 hymnals 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 have I, as vile as he, washed all my sins away: washed all my sins away, washed all my sins away; and there have I, as vile as he, washed all my sins away. 3 E'er since by faith I saw the stream your 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. 4 Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing your pow'r to save, when this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue lies silent in the grave: lies silent in the grave, lies silent in the grave; when this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue lies silent in the grave. 5 Dear dying Lamb, your 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.

Hymn 9

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,299 hymnals First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed? Lyrics: Alas! and did my Savior bleed? And did my Sovereign die? Would he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? [Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, thine, And bathed in its own blood, While all exposed to wrath divine The glorious Suff'rer stood!] Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creature's sin. Thus might I hide my blushing face, While his dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'Tis all that I can do.

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,266 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne we pour our ardent prayers; our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear, and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear. 4 When we are called to part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives our courage by the way; while each in expectation lives and waits to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil, and pain, and sin, we shall be free; and perfect love and friendship reign through all eternity.
