Brighter scenes will then commence; This shall be my confidence. 2 Jesus lives! to Him the throne High o'er heaven and earth is given: I shall go where He is gone, Live and reign with Him in heaven. God is pledged; weak doubtings, hence! This shall be my confidence. 3 Jesus lives! for me He died, Hence will I, to Jesus living, Pure in heart and act abide, Praise to Him and glory giving. Freely God doth aid dispense; This shall be my confidence. 4 Jesus lives! I know full well, Naught from me His Love shall sever; Life, nor death, nor powers of hell, Part me now from Christ for ever. God will be a sure Defence: This shall be my confidence. 5 Jesus lives! henceforth is death But the gate of Life immortal; This shall calm my trembling breath, When I pass its gloomy portal. Faith shall cry, as fails each sense, "Lord, Thou art my Confidence!" Used With Tune: MEINEN JESUM LASZ ICH NICHT

Wesley Appears in 189 hymnals Topics: Praise to Christ; Sundays in Lent; Lent, Second Sunday; Lent, Third Sunday; Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Let earth and heaven combine, Angels and men agree, To praise in songs divine The incarnate Deity: To adore the all-atoning Lamb, And bless the sound of Jesus' Name. 2 Jesus! transporting sound! The joy of earth and heaven; No other help is found, No other name is given, By which we can salvation have; But Jesus came the world to save. 3 For me and all mankind The Lamb of God was slain: My Lord His life resigned For every soul of man: Loving to all, He none passed by, He would not have one sinner die. 4 O unexampled Love! O all-redeeming grace! How swiftly didst Thou move To save a fallen race! What shall I do to make it known, What Thou for all mankind hast done? Used With Tune: CROFT'S 148TH PSALM

His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end. They who once His kindness prove, Find it everlasting Love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in Him to God: This was boundless Love indeed: Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When He lived on earth abaséd, Friend of sinners was His name, Now, above all glory raiséd, He rejoices in the same: Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love, We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought.

Let the Water and the Blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save me, Lord, and make me pure. 2 Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil Thy Law's demands: Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears for ever flow, All for sin could not atone: Thou must save and Thou alone! 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy Cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the Fountain fly; Wash me, Saviour, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee!

O deep within my heart now shine, And make Thee there an altar! Fill me with joy and strength to be Thy member, ever joined to Thee In love that cannot falter; Toward Thee longing Doth possess me, Turn and bless me, For Thy gladness Eye and heart here pine in sadness. 3 But if Thou look on me in love, There straightway falls from God above A ray of purest pleasure; Thy Word and Spirit, Flesh and Blood, Refresh my soul with heavenly food, Thou art my hidden treasure; Let Thy grace, Lord, Warm and cheer O draw near me; Thou hast taught us Thee to seek since Thou hast sought us! 4 Here will I rest, and hold it fast, The Lord I love is First and Last, The End as the Beginning! Here I can calmly die, for Thou Wilt raise me where Thou dwellest now, Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus, Soon release us, With deep yearning, Lord, we look for Thy returning.
