My dear Redeemer, and my Lord!
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 578 hymnals Topics: Christ Praise to; Praise To Christ Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer, and my Lord!
I read my duty in Thy word;
But in Thy life the law appears
Drawn out in living characters.
2 Such was Thy truth, and such Thy zeal,
Such deference to Thy Father's will,
Thy love and meekness so divine,
I would transcribe and make them mine.
3 Cold mountains and the midnight air
Witnessed the fervor of Thy prayer;
The desert Thy temptations knew,
Thy conflict and Thy victory too.
4 Be Thou my pattern; make me bear
More of Thy gracious image here;
Then God, the Judge, shall own my name
Among the followers of the Lamb.
Amen. Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET

On whom in affliction I call,
My comfort by day and my song in the night,
My hope, my salvation, my all!

Is heard thro' the shadows of death;
The cedars of Lebanon bow at his feet,
The air is perfum'd with his breath.
3 His lips, as a fountain of righteousness flow,
To water the gardens of grace;
From which their salvation the Gentiles shall know,
And bask in the smiles of his face.
4 He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice,
And myriads wait for his word;
He speaks, and eternity, fill'd with his voice,
Reechoes the praise of the Lord. Used With Tune: BELOVED

See what a living stone

In spite of envious Jews.

And wondrous in our eyes;
This day declares it all divine,
This day did Jesus rise.
3 Hosanna to the King
Of David's royal blood!
Bless Him, ye saints, He comes to bring
Salvation from our God.
4 Oh, come the happy hour
When all the world shall own
Thy Son, O God, declared with power,
And worship at Thy throne!
5 We bless Thy holy word,
Which all this grace displays;
And offer on Thine altar, Lord,
Our sacrifice of praise.

See what a living stone
I was a wandering sheep
Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 505 hymnals Topics: Christ Praise to; Praise To Christ Lyrics: 1 I was a wandering sheep,
I did not love the fold,
I did not love my Shepherd's voice,
I would not be controlled:
I was a wayward child,
I did not love my home,
I did not love my Father's voice,
I loved afar to roam.
2 The Shepherd sought His sheep,
The Father sought His child;
He followed me o'er vale and hill,
O'er deserts waste and wild:
He found me nigh to death,
Famished, and faint, and lone;
He bound me with the bands of love,
He saved the wandering one.
3 Jesus my Shepherd is,
'Twas He that loved my soul,
'Twas He that washed me in His blood,
'Twas He that made me whole;
'Twas He that sought the lost,
That found the wandering sheep,
'Twas He that brought me to the fold,
'Tis He that still doth keep.
4 No more a wandering sheep,
I love to be controlled,
I love my tender Shepherd's voice,
I love, I love the fold:
No more a wayward child,
I seek no more to roam,
I love my Heavenly Father's voice--
I love, I love His home.
Amen. Used With Tune: LEBANON

Father, how wide thy glory shines!

How high Thy wonders rise!
Known through the earth by thousand signs,
By thousands through the skies.
2 Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power,
Their motions speak Thy skill,
And on the wings of every hour
We read Thy patience still.
3 When sinners break the Father's low,
The dying Son atones;
Oh! the dear mysteries of His cross!
The triumph of His groans!
4 Now the full glories of the Lamb
Adorn the heavenly plains;
Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name,
And try their choicest strains.
5 Oh, may I bear some humble part
In that immortal song!
Wonder and joy shall tune my heart,
And love command my tongue.
Amen. Used With Tune: ABRIDGE

Willing slaves of death and sin,
Now from bliss no longer rove;
Stop, and taste redeeming love.

Jesus! and shall it ever be
Author: Joseph Grigg; Benjamin Francis Appears in 1,306 hymnals Topics: Christ Praise to; Praise To Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus! and shall it ever be
A mortal man ashamed of Thee?
Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine thro' endless days?
2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far
Let evening blush to own a star;
He sheds the beams of light divine
O'er this benighted soul of mine.
3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon
Let midnight be ashamed of noon:
'Tis midnight with my soul till He,
Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee.
4 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend
On whom my hopes of heaven depend!
No; when I blush--be this my shame,
That I no more revere His name.
5 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may
When I've no guilt to wash away,
No tear to wipe, no good to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save.
6 Till then--nor is my boasting vain--
Till then I boast a Saviour slain;
And, oh, may this my glory be,
That Christ is not ashamed of me!
Amen. Used With Tune: MEROE
Jesus! and shall it ever be
