O how happy are they, Who their Saviour obey
Meter: Irregular Appears in 706 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 2:2 Lyrics: 1 O how happy are they,
Who their Saviour obey,
And have laid up their treasures above!
Tongue can not express
The sweet comforts and peace
Of a soul in its earliest love.
2 That sweet comfort was mine
When the favor divine
I found in the blood of the Lamb;
When my heart it believed,
What a joy I received,
What a heaven in Jesus' name.
3 'Twas a heaven below,
My Redeemer to know;
The angels could do nothing more
Than to fall at his feet,
And the story repeat,
And the lover of sinners adore.
4 Jesus, all the day long,
Was my joy and my song:
O that all his salvation might see!
He hath loved me, I cried,
He hath suffered and died,
To redeem such a rebel as me.
5 On the wings of his love
I was carried above
All sin, and temptation, and pain:
I could not believe
That I ever should grieve--
That I ever should suffer again.
6 I rode on the sky,
Freely justified I,
Nor envied Elijah his seat;
My soul mounted higher
In a chariot of fire,
And the moon it was under my feet.
7 O the rapturous height
Of that holy delight,
Which I felt in the life-giving blood,
Of my Saviour possessed,
I was perfectly blest,
As if filled with the fullness of God. Topics: Spiritual Songs
O how happy are they, Who their Saviour obey
Jesu, lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,220 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 2:13 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, 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 Saviour, 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 defenceless 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: Lent; Fourth Sunday Before Lent Year B; Ash Wednesday; Proper 17 Year C Used With Tune: HOLLINGSIDE
Jesu, lover of my soul
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 2:13 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
he whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for his own abode.
On the Rock of ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever flows their thirst to assuage:
grace which, like the Lord the giver,
never fails from age to age?
*3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus they march, the pillar leading,
light by night and shade by day;
daily on the manna feeding
which he gives them when they pray.
4 Saviour, if of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in thy name.
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
all his boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasure,
none but Zion's children know. Topics: Lent III Year A; Proper 9 Year B; Second Sunday Before Advent Year B Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

How oft, alas! this wretched heart
Author: Mrs. Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 316 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 2:13 Lyrics: 1 How oft, alas! this wretched heart
Has wandered from the Lord!
How oft my roving thoughts depart,
Forgetful of his word!
2 Yet sovereign mercy calls Return;
Dear Lord, and may I come?
My vile ingratitude I mourn;
Oh, take the wanderer home.
3 And canst thou, wilt thou yet forgive,
And bid my crimes remove?
And shall a pardoned rebel live
To speak thy wondrous love?
4 Thy pardoning love, so free, so sweet,
Blest Saviour, I adore;
Oh, keep me at thy sacred feet,
And let me rove no more. Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith; Pardoning Love
How oft, alas! this wretched heart
God of mercy! God of grace!
Author: Taylor Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 189 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 2:13 Lyrics: 1 God of mercy! God of grace!
Hear our sad, repentant songs;
Oh, restore thy suppliant race,
Thou to whom our praise belongs--
2 Deep regret for follies past,
Talents wasted, time misspent;
Hearts debased by worldly cares,
Thankless for the blessings lent.
3 Foolish fears, and fond desires,
Vain regrets, for things as vain,
Lips too seldom taught to praise,
Oft to murmur and complain--
4 These, and every secret fault,
Filled with grief and shame, we own;
Humbled at thy feet we lie,
Seeking pardon from thy throne!
5 God of mercy! God of grace!
Hear our sad, repentant songs;
Oh, restore thy suppliant race,
Thou to whom our praise belongs.

Jesu, my manna be;
ye living waters, burst
out of the rock for me.
2 Thou bruised and broken Bread,
my life-long wants supply;
as living souls are fed,
O feed me, or I die.
3 Thou true life-giving Vine,
let me thy sweetness prove;
renew my life with thine,
refresh my soul with love.
4 Rough paths my feet have trod
since first their course began:
feed me, thou Bread of God;
help me, thou Son of Man.
5 For still the desert lies
my thirsting soul before:
O living waters, rise
within me evermore. Topics: Holy Communion; Lent III Year C; Proper 13 Year A Used With Tune: MARIA JUNG UND ZART
