"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

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.

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.

"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.

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.

"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!

"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!
