"Immanuel"
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #388 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Sweeter sounds than music knows Lyrics: 1 Sweeter sounds than music knows
Charm me in Immanuel's name;
All her hopes my spirt owes
To his birth, and cross, and shame.
2 When he came, the angels sung,
"Glory be to God on high:"
Lord, unloose my stammering tongue;
Who should louder sing than I?
3 Did the Lord a man become,
That he might the law fulfill,
Bleed and suffer in my room,
And canst thou, my tongue, be still!
4 No; I must my praises bring,
Though they worthless are, and weak;
For should I refuse to sing,
Sure the very stones would speak.
5 O my Saviour! Shield and Sun,
Shepherd, Brother, Lord, and Friend
Every precious name in one!
I will love thee without end. Languages: English
"Immanuel"
"Altogether lovely"
Author: Frances E. Cox Hymnal: Laudes Domini #389 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Earth has nothing sweet or fair Lyrics: 1 Earth has nothing sweet or fair,
Lovely forms or beauties rare,
But before my eyes they bring
Christ, of beauty Source and Spring.
2 When the morning paints the skies,
When the golden sunbeams rise,
Then my Saviour's form I find
Brightly imaged on my mind.
3 When the star-beams pierce the night,
Oft I think on Jesus' light;
Think how bright that light will be,
Shining through eternity.
4 Come, Lord Jesus! and dispel
This dark cloud in which I dwell,
And to me the power impart
To behold thee as thou art. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. BEES
"Altogether lovely"
Loving and Beloved
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Laudes Domini #393 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Do not I love thee, O my Lord? Lyrics: 1 Do not I love thee, O my Lord?
Behold my heart, and see;
And turn the dearest idol out
That dares to rival thee.
2 Is not thy name melodious still
To mine attentive ear?
Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound,
My Saviour's voice to hear?
3 Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock
I would disdain to feed?
Hast thou a foe, before whose face
I fear thy cause to plead?
4 Would not my heart pour forth its blood
In honor of thy name?
And challenge the cold hand of death
To damp the immortal flame?
5 Thou knowest that I love thee, Lord;
But, oh, I long to soar
Far from the sphere of mortal joys,
And learn to love thee more.
Languages: English Tune Title: ARMENIA

"He is precious"
Author: O. Heginbotham Hymnal: Laudes Domini #394 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Blest Jesus! when my soaring thoughts Lyrics: 1 Blest Jesus! when my soaring thoughts
O'er all thy graces rove,
How is my soul in transport lost,
In wonder, joy, and love!
2 Not softest strains can charm my ears,
Like thy beloved name;
Nor aught beneath the skies inspire
My heart will equal flame.
3 Where'er I look, my wondering eyes
Unnumbered blessings see;
But what is life, with all its bliss,
If once compared with thee?
4 Hast thou a rival in my breast?
Search, Lord, for thou canst tell
If aught can raise my passions thus,
Or please my soul so well.
5 No; thou art precious to my heart,
My portion and my joy:
For ever let thy boundless grace
My sweetest thoughts employ. Languages: English
"He is precious"
Psalm 71
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #395 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: My Saviour! my almighty Friend Lyrics: 1 My Saviour! my almighty Friend;
When I begin thy praise,
Where will the growing numbers end,
The numbers of thy grace?
2 Thou art my everlasting trust;
Thy goodness I adore;
And, since I know thy graces first,
I speak thy glories more.
3 My feet shall travel all the length
Of the celestial road;
And march with courage in thy strength,
To see my Father God.
4 How will my lips rejoice to tell
The victories of my King!
My soul, redeemed from sin and hell,
Shall thy salvation sing. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER
Psalm 71
"Look unto Me"
Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Laudes Domini #399 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: My faith looks up to thee Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly thine!
2 May thy rich grace impart
Strength to thy fainting heart;
My zeal inspire;
As thou hast died for me,
Oh, 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 Saviour! then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul! Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVET
"Look unto Me"
"To live is Christ"
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #404 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Jesus, who on his glorious throne Lyrics: 1 Jesus, who on his glorious throne
Rules heaven, and earth, and sea,
Is pleased to claim me for his own,
And give himself to me.
2 His person fixes all my love,
His blood removes my fear;
And while he pleads for me above,
His arm preserves me here.
3 His word of promise is my food,
His Spirit is my guide;
Thus daily is my strength renewed,
And all my wants supplied.
4 For him I count as gain each loss,
Disgrace for him renown;
Well may I glory in my cross,
While he prepares my crown. Languages: English Tune Title: MELODY
"To live is Christ"
Strength, Fortress, Refuge
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #405 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Dear Refuge of my weary soul Lyrics: 1 Dear Refuge of my weary soul,
On thee, when sorrows rise,
On thee, when waves of trouble roll,
MY fainting hope relies.
2 To thee I tell each rising grief,
For thou alone canst heal;
Thy word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel.
3 But, oh, when gloomy doubts prevail,
I fear to call thee mine;
The springs of comfort seem to fail,
And all my hopes decline.
4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee?
Thou art my only trust;
And still my soul would cleave to thee,
Though prostrate in the dust.
5 Thy mercy-seat is open still,
Here let my soul retreat,
With humble hope attend thy will,
And wait beneath thy feet. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES

"Whom unseen, we love"
Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Laudes Domini #406 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Jesus, these eyes have never seen Lyrics: 1 Jesus, these eyes have never seen
That radiant form of thine!
The vail of sense hangs dark between
Thy blessed face and mine!
2 I see thee not, I hear thee not,
Yet art thou oft with me;
And earth has ne'er so dear a spot,
As where I meet with thee.
3 Like some bright dream that comes unsought,
When slumbers o'er me roll,
Thine image ever fills my thought,
And charms my ravished soul.
4 Yet though I have not seen, and still
Must rest in faith alone;
I love thee, dearest Lord! and will,
Unseen, but not unknown.
5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal,
And still this throbbing heart,
The rending vail shall thee reveal,
All glorious as thou art! Languages: English
"Whom unseen, we love"
"We would see Jesus"
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #409 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: We would see Jesus for the shadows lengthen Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus for the shadows lengthen
Across this little landscape of our life;
We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen
For the last weariness the final strife.
2 We would see Jesus the great Rock Foundation,
Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace;
Not life, nor death, with all their agitation,
Can thence remove us, if we see his face.
3 We would see Jesus other lights are paling.
Which for long years we have rejoiced to see;
The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing,
We would not mourn them, for we go to thee.
4 We would see Jesus this is all we're needing,
Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight;
We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading,
Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night! Languages: English Tune Title: RAYNOLDS
