"Altogether lovely"
Author: Frances E. Cox Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Morning Star; Christians Love for Christ; Communion of Saints With Christ 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.
Scripture: Psalm 45:2 Used With Tune: ST. BEES

Psalm 23
Author: Henry W. Baker Appears in 699 hymnals Topics: Love, and Communion With Christ; Christ Character of; Christians Love for Christ; Love For the Saviour; Christ Character of; Christians Love for Christ; Love For the Saviour First Line: The King of love my Shepherd is Lyrics: 1 The King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never,
I nothing lack if I am his,
And he is mine for ever.
2 Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul he leadeth,
And where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.
3 Perverse and foolish, oft I strayed,
But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill
With thee, dear Lord, beside me,
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight,
Thy unction grace bestoweth,
And, oh, what transport of delight
From thy pure chalice floweth.
5 And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never,
Good Shepherd! may I sing thy praise
Within thy house for ever. Used With Tune: DOMINUS REGIT

Ah wretched souls who strive in vain
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Ah wretched souls, who strive in vain,
Slaves to the world, and slaves to sin!
A nobler toil may I sustain,
A nobler satisfaction win.
2 I would resolve with all my heart,
With all my pow'rs to serve the Lord,
Nor from his precepts e'er depart,
Whose service is a rich reward.
3 O be his service all my joy!
Around let my example shine;
Till others love the blest employ,
And join in labours so divine.
4 Be this the purpose of my soul,
My solemn my determin'd choice,
To yield to his supreme control,
And in his kind commands rejoice.
5 O may I never faint nor tire,
Nor wandering leave his sacred ways;
Great God! accept my soul's desire,
And give me strength to live thy praise.
Ah wretched souls who strive in vain

Ah why should this mistaken mind
Let sorrow, Lord, my bosom fill
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Let sorrow, Lord, my bosom fill,
When impious men transgress thy will;
Teach me to mourn, when lips profane
Take thy tremendous name in vain.
2 With indignation may I treat
The works of malice and deceit;
And ever from their friendship flee,
Who dare to scorn thy laws and thee.
3 Doth secret mischief lurk within?
Do I indulge some unknown sin?
O turn my feet whene'er I stray,
And lead me in thy perfect way.
Let sorrow, Lord, my bosom fill
