Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,210 hymnals Matching Instances: 23 Scripture: Isaiah 25:4 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 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. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Therefore let us joyful be, and sing to God right thankfully loud songs of alleluia! Alleluia! 2 It was a strange and dreadful strife when life and death contended. The victory remained with life; the reign of death was ended. Holy Scripture plainly says his death has swallowed up our death; its sting is lost forever.

See, his blood now marks our door; faith points to it, death passes o'er, and Satan cannot harm us. Alleluia! 4 So let us keep the festival to which the Lord invites us. Christ is himself the joy of all, the sun that warms and lights us. Now his grace to us imparts eternal sunshine to our hearts; the night of sin is ended.

Christ alone our souls will feed; he is our meat and drink indeed; faith lives upon no other! Alleluia!

O Thou who driest the mourner's tear

Author: Moore Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 210 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Scripture: Isaiah 25:8 Lyrics: 1 O THOU who driest the mourner's tear, How dark this world would be, If, when deceived and wounded here, We could not fly to thee. 2 The friends who in our sunshine live, When winter comes, are flown; And he who has but tears to give, Must weep those tears alone. 3 But Christ can heal that broken heart, Which, like the plants that throw Their fragrance from the wounded part, Breathes sweetness out of woe. 4 When joy no longer soothes or cheers, And e'en the hope that threw A moment's sparkle o'er our tears, Is dimmed and vanished too: 5 Oh, who could bear life's stormy doom, Did not his wing of love Come brightly wafting through the gloom, Our peace-branch from above. 6 Then sorrow, touched by him, grows bright, With more than rapture's ray; As darkness shows us worlds of light We never saw by day.
