Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,208 hymnals Matching Instances: 127 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.

Saviour, when in dust to Thee

Author: Robert Grant Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 442 hymnals Matching Instances: 16 Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when in dust to Thee Low we bow th'adoring knee; When, repentant, to the skies, Scarce we lift our weeping eyes; O, by all Thy pains and woe Suffered once for man below, Bending from Thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany! 2 By Thy helpless infant years, By Thy life of want and tears, By Thy days of sore distress In the savage wilderness, By the dread mysterious hour Of th'insulting tempter's power;, Turn, O turn, a favoring eye, Hear our solemn litany! 3 By thine hour of dire despair, By thine agony of prayer; By the Cross, the nail, the thorn, Piercing spear, and torturing scorn; By the gloom that veiled the skies O'er the dreadful Sacrifice; Listen to our humble sigh; Hear our solemn litany! 4 By Thy deep expiring groan; By the sad sepulchral stone: By the vault whose dark abode Held in vain the rising God; O, from earth to heaven restored, Mighty, re-ascended Lord, Listen, listen to the cry Of our solemn litany! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent: Litany Hymns Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Watchman, Tell Us of the Night

Author: John Bowring Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 861 hymnals Matching Instances: 15 Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are. Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height, See that glory-beaming star. Watchman, does its beauteous ray Aught of joy or hope foretell? Traveler, yes; it brings the day, Promised day of Israel. 2 Watchman, tell us of the night; Higher yet that star ascends. Traveler, blessedness and light, Peace and truth its course portends. Watchman, will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Traveler, ages are its own; See, it bursts o'er all the earth. 3 Watchman, tell us of the night, For the morning seems to dawn. Traveler, darkness takes its flight, Doubt and terror are withdrawn. Watchman, let thy wanderings cease; Hasten to your quiet home. Traveler, lo! the Prince of Peace, Lo! the Son of God is come!

Wild and Lone the Prophet's Voice

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 Wild and lone the prophet's voice Echoes through the desert still, Calling us to make a choice, Bidding us to do God's will: "Turn from sin and be baptized; Cleanse your heart and mind and soul. Quitting all the sins you prized, Yield your life to God's control. 2 "Bear the fruit repentance sows: Lives of justice, truth, and love. Trust no other claim than those; Set your heart on things above. Soon the Lord will come in power, Burning clean the threshing floor: Then will flames the chaff devour; Wheat alone shall fill God's store." 3 With such preaching stark and bold John proclaimed salvation near, And his timeless warnings hold Words of hope to all who hear. So we dare to journey on, Led by faith through ways untrod, Till we come at last like John To behold the Lamb of God.
