My Faith Looks Up to Thee
Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 2,205 hymnals Scripture: Romans 1:17 Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee,
thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray;
take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
be wholly thine!
2 May thy rich grace impart
strength to my fainting heart,
my zeal inspire;
as thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
pure, warm, and changeless be,
a living fire!
3 While life's dark maze I tread
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide;
bid darkness turn to day;
wipe sorrow's tears away;
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
when death's cold, sullen stream
shall o'er me roll;
blest Savior, then, in love,
fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
a ransomed soul! Topics: Faith; Forgiveness; Funeral; Grace; Guidance; Living and Dying in Christ Used With Tune: OLIVET

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,736 hymnals Scripture: Romans 1:17 Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!
2 Jesus, the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease,
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life, and health, and peace.
3 He speaks, and, list'ning to his voice,
new life the dead receive;
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.
4 Hear him, you deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
your loosened tongues employ;
ye blind, behold your Savior come;
and leap, you lame, for joy.
5 Look unto him, ye nations: own
your God, ye fallen race;
look, and be saved by faith alone;
be justified by grace.
6 My gracious Master and my Lord,
assist me to proclaim,
and spread through all the earth abroad
the honors of thy name. Topics: Hymns with Descants Used With Tune: RICHMOND

In the cross of Christ I glory

Towering o'er the wrecks of time;

Gathers round its head sublime.

Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me;
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds more luster to the day.

By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.

All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime. Topics: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; Glorying in the Cross

Amazing Grace

that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found:
was blind, but now I see.
2 'Twas grace first taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3 The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
4 Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
5 When we've been there ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun.

Jesus, and can it ever be
Author: Gregg Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,272 hymnals Scripture: Romans 1:16 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and can it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of thee!
Blush at the thought, ye rich and poor;
Bow at his footstool and adore!

May evening blush to own a star:
Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon
May midnight be ashamed of noon.
3 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may,
When I've no crimes to wash away;
No tears to wipe, no joys to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save!
4 Ashamed of Jesus, that dear Friend
On whom my hopes of heaven depend!
No: when I blush, be this my shame,
That I no more revere his name. Topics: The Christian Life Consecration and Activity; Not Ashamed of Jesus

Author: A. Catherine Hankey, 1834-1911 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 1,211 hymnals Scripture: Romans 1:16 Lyrics: 1 I love to tell the story
of unseen things above,
of Jesus and his glory,
of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story
because I know 'tis true;
it satisfies my longings
as nothing else can do.
Refrain:
I love to tell the story,
'twill be my theme in glory,
to tell the old, old story
of Jesus and his love.
2 I love to tell the story,
'tis pleasant to repeat
what seems, each time I tell it,
more wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story,
for some have never heard
the message of salvation
from God's own Holy Word. [Refrain]
3 I love to tell the story,
for those who know it best
seem hungering and thirsting
to hear it like the rest.
And when in scenes of glory
I sing the new, new song,
'twill be the old, old story
that I have loved so long. [Refrain]

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 674 hymnals Scripture: Romans 1:16 Lyrics: 1 I'm not ashamed to own my Lord,
or to defend his cause,
maintain the honor of his Word,
the glory of his cross.
2 Jesus, my God! I know his name,
his name is all my trust;
nor will he put my soul to shame,
nor let my hope be lost.
3 Firm as his throne his promise stands,
and he can well secure
what I've committed to his hands
till the decisive hour.
4 Then will he own my worthless name
before his Father's face,
and in the new Jerusalem
appoint my soul a place.

he’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
the Lily of the Valley, in him alone I see
all I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow he’s my comfort, in trouble he’s my stay.
he tells me every care on him to roll.
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the bright and Morning Star,
he’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
2 He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
in temptation he’s my strong and mighty tower;
I have all for him forsaken, and all my idols torn
from my heart, and now he keeps me by his power.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempts me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the bright and Morning Star,
he’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
3 He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
while I live by faith and do his blessed will;
a wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear,
with his manna he my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory, to see his blessed face,
where rivers of delight shall ever roll.
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the bright and Morning Star,
he’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. Topics: The Grace of Jesus Christ In Praise of Christ Used With Tune: SALVATIONIST
