In what confusion earth appears!
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:25 Lyrics: 1 In what confusion earth appears!
God's dearest children bath'd in tears;
While they who heaven itself deride,
Riot in luxury and pride.
2 But patient let my soul attend,
And, ere I censure, view the end;
That end, how diff'rent! who can tell
The wide extremes of heaven and hell?
3 See the red flames around him twine,
Who did in gold and purple shine!
Nor can his tongue one drop obtain
T' allay the scorching of his pain.
4 While round the saint, so poor below
Full rivers of salvation flow;
On Abrah'm's breast he leans his head,
And banquets on celestial bread.
5 Jesus, my Lord, let me appear
The meanest of thy servant's here;
So that at length I may but taste
The blessings of thy marriage feast. Topics: Christ Life and Ministry; Rich Man and Lazarus

God of the poor
Blessed be ye Poor
Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:20 First Line: Lord, when I hear thy Children talk Lyrics: 1 Lord, when I hear thy Children talk,
(And I believe 'tis often true)
How with Delight thy Ways they walk,
And gladly thy Commandments do.
2 In my own Breast I look, and read
Accounts so very diff'rent there,
That had I not thy Blood to plead,
Each Sight would sink me to Despair.
3 Needy, and naked, and unclean,
Empty of Good, and full of Ill,
A lifeless Lump of loathsome Sin,
Without the Power to act or will.
4 I feel my fainting Spirits droop;
My wretched Leanness I deplore,
'Till gladden'd with a Gleam of Hope
From this, "The Lord has bless'd the Poor."
5 Then while I make my secret Moan,
Upwards I cast my Eyes and see,
Though I have Nothing of my own,
My Treasure is immense in Thee.
6 Still may I keep thy Love in View,
Lean there; nor envy those that run;
Still trust to--not what I can do,
But what thyself hast for me done.
7 My Treasure is thy precious Blood
Fix there my Heart: And for the rest,
Under thy forming Hands, my God,
Give me that Frame which thou lik'st best. Topics: Spiritual Poverty

From Miles Around
Author: Jane Marshall, 1924- Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:17-19 First Line: From miles around the sick ones came Lyrics: 1 From miles around the sick ones came,
in hope that one they heard was Lord
would make their souls and bodies well
with healing touch or saving word.
2 And still they come, new preys of plague,
while often in their rooms of prayer
God's people worship, safe and sound,
unheeding, even unaware.
3 Recall us to our mission, Lord,
to reach for those cut off, in pain;
to offer friendship, strength, and peace
and be a faithful Church again. Used With Tune: BOZELL

O sacred head sore wounded

with grief and shame weighed down;
O kingly head surrounded
with thorns your only crown;
death's shadows rise before you,
the glow of life decays;
yet hosts of heaven adore you
and tremble as they gaze.
2 What language shall I borrow
to praise you, heavenly friend,
for this your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Such agony and dying!
Such love to sinners free!
O Christ, all grace supplying,
turn now your face on me.
3 In this your bitter Passion,
good Shepherd, think of me,
look on me with compassion,
unworthy though I be:
beneath your cross abiding
for ever would I rest,
in your dear love confiding,
and with your presence blessed.
4 Lord, be my consolation,
my shield when death is near;
remind me of your Passion,
be with me when I fear.
My eyes shall then behold you,
upon your cross shall dwell,
my heart by faith enfold you;
and who dies thus, dies well.
