Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Acts 8:33 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thy Beauties I explore! Who am a helpless worm; Adoring now and evermore Thy crucified Form. 2 When on thy Cross, my dearest Lord, What Love didst thou display! Eternal Annals shall record The great, uncommon Day. 3 Down low, beneath the Wrath of Heav'n, Thy troubled Soul did bow; Humiliation deeply grav'n Upon thy bleeding Brow. 4 My God! my God! was then thy Cry, Why hast thou me forsook? Nature, replying with a Sigh, In strong Convulsions shook. 5 More marr'd than any Man's thy Face, Thy Judgment's took away; Nor Men, nor Angels then could trace Thy Mystery, thy Day. 6 Thou didst, when in the Depths of Hell, An awful Silence keep; No Tongue like thine can ever tell The Horrors of the Deep. 7 Strong Pains of Death encompass'd Thee, And hellish Pangs were felt, That thou might'st set thy Children free From all their Sin and Guilt. 8 Tho' Satan once did us enslave, Now thou hast bruis'd his Head; And in thyself didst fully save Thy lov'd, thy royal Seed. 9 Hence everlasting Praise belongs To thee our God and King: Do thou but influence our Songs, And we will ever sing.

Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.” 3 When our days of toil shall cease, Waiting still for sweet release, Nothing left but heav'n and prayer, Wond'ring if our names were there; Wading deep the dismal flood, Pleading naught but Jesus’ blood, Whisp'ring softly, “Wand'rer, come! Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.” Used With Tune: [Holy spirit, faithful Guide]
