Jesus, Who Died A World To Save

Author: William Hammond, 1719-1782 Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, who died a world to save, Revives and rises from the grave, By His almighty power; From sin, and death, and hell set free, He captive leads captivity, And lives to die no more. 2 Lo! how He bursts the bonds of death, And reassumes His vital breath, To make our title good; May all our souls to Heav’n aspire, In thought, in will, in strong desire, To earthly pleasure dead. 3 With thankful hearts we look and see Our Savior clothed with majesty Triumphant o’er the tomb; Yet though our Lord is honored thus, Still all His thoughts are fixed on us, He’ll take us to His home. 4 His church is all His joy and crown, He looks with love and pity down On her He did redeem; He tastes her joys, He feels her woes, And prays that she may spoil her foes, And ever reign with Him.

Within Thy house will I abide; My refuge sure, whate'er betide, Thy sheltering wings shall be. 3 For Thou, O God, my vows hast heard, On me the heritage conferred Of those that fear Thy Name; A blest anointing Thou dost give, And Thou wilt make me ever live Thy praises to proclaim. 4 Before Thy face shall I abide; O God, Thy truth and grace provide To guard me in the way; So I will make Thy praises known, And, humbly blending at Thy throne, My vows will daily pay.

How Happy Is the Pilgrim's Lot

Author: John Wesley Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 183 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How happy is the pilgrim’s lot! How free from every anxious thought, From worldly hope and fear! Confined to neither court nor cell, His soul disdains on earth to dwell, He only sojourns here. 2. This happiness in part is mine, Already saved from self design, From every creature love; Blest with the scorn of finite good, My soul is lightened of its load, And seeks the things above. 3. The things eternal I pursue, A happiness beyond the view Of those that basely pant For things by nature felt and seen; Their honors, wealth, and pleasures mean I neither have nor want. 4. I have no sharer of my heart, To rob my Savior of a part, And desecrate the whole; Only betrothed to Christ am I, And wait His coming from the sky, To wed my happy soul. 5. I have no babes to hold me here; But children more securely dear For mine I humbly claim, Better than daughters or than sons, Temples divine of living stones, Inscribed with Jesus’ name. 6. No foot of land do I possess, No cottage in this wilderness, A poor wayfaring man, I lodge awhile in tents below; Or gladly wander to and fro, Till I my Canaan gain. 7. Nothing on earth I call my own; A stranger, to the world unknown, I all their goods despise; I trample on their whole delight, And seek a country out of sight, A country in the skies. 8. There is my house and portion fair, My treasure and my heart are there. And my abiding home; For me my elder brethren stay, And angels beckon me away, And Jesus bids me come. 9. I come, Thy servant, Lord, replies, I come to meet Thee in the skies, And claim my heavenly rest; Now let the pilgrim’s journey end, Now, O my Savior, brother, friend. Receive me to Thy breast!
