O Thou, Before the World Began

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Thou, before the world began, Ordained a sacrifice for man, And by th’eternal Spirit made An Offering for the sinner’s stead; Our everlasting Priest art Thou, Pleading Thy death for sinners now. 2. Thy offering still continues new Before the righteous Father’s view; Thyself the Lamb for ever slain, Thy priesthood doth unchanged remain; Thy years, O God, can never fail, Nor Thy blest work within the veil. 3. O that our faith may never move, But stand unshaken as Thy love! Sure evidence of things unseen, Now let it pass the years between, And view Thee bleeding on the tree, My Lord, my God, who dies for me.

Come, O Thou Traveller unknown

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 300 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, O Thou Traveller unknown, Whom still I hold, but cannot see! My company before is gone, And I am left alone with Thee; With Thee all night I mean to stay, And wrestle till the break of day. 2 I need not tell Thee who I am, My misery and sin declare; Thyself hast called me by my name, Look on Thy hands, and read it there; But who, I ask Thee, who art Thou? Tell me Thy name, and tell me now. 3 In vain Thou strugglest to get free, I never will unloose my hold! Art Thou the man that died for me? The secret of Thy love unfold; Wrestling, I will not let Thee go, Till I Thy name, Thy nature know. 4 Wilt Thou not yet to me reveal Thy new, unutterable name? Tell me, I still beseech Thee, tell; To know it now resolved I am; Wrestling, I will not let Thee go, Till I Thy name, Thy nature know. 5 'Tis Love! 'tis Love! Thou diest for me! I hear Thy whisper in my heart; The morning breaks, the shadows flee, Pure, universal love Thou art: To me, to all, Thy mercies move, Thy nature and Thy name is Love.

He That Has God His Guardian Made

Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He that has God his guardian made, Shall, under the Almighty’s shade, Secure and undisturbed abide. Thus to my soul of Him I’ll say, He is my fortress and my stay, My God, in whom I will confide. 2 His tender love and watchful care Shall free thee from the fowler’s snare, And from the noisome pestilence: He over thee His wings shall spread, And cover thy unguarded head; His truth shall be thy strong defense. 3 No terrors that surprise by night Shall thy undaunted courage fright, Nor deadly shafts that fly by day; Nor plague of unknown rise, that kills In darkness, nor infectious ills That in the hottest season slay. 4 A thousand at thy side shall die, At thy right hand ten thousand lie, While thy firm health untouched remains; Thou only shalt look on and see The wicked’s dismal tragedy, And count the sinner’s mournful gains. 5 Because, with well-placed confidence, Thou mak’st the Lord thy sure defense, And on the highest dost rely; Therefore no ill shall thee befall, Nor to thy healthful dwelling shall Any infectious plague draw nigh. 6 For He, throughout thy happy days, To keep thee safe in all thy ways Shall give His angels strict commands; And they, lest thou should’st chance to meet With some rough stone to wound thy feet Shall bear thee safely in their hands. 7 Dragons and asps, that thirst for blood, And lions roaring for their food, Beneath his conquering feet shall lie; Because he loved and honored Me, Therefore, says God, I’ll set him free, And fix his glorious throne on high. 8 He’ll call; I’ll answer, when he calls, And rescue him when ill befalls; Increase his honor and his wealth: And when with undisturbed content His long and happy life is spent, His end I’ll crown with saving health.

O Love, I Languish At Thy Stay

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O love, I languish at thy stay, I pine for thee with lingering smart, Weary, and faint through long delay, When wilt thou come into my heart? From sin and sorrow set me free, And swallow up my soul in thee! 2 Come, O thou universal good, Balm of the wounded conscience, come, The hungry, dying spirit’s food, The weary, wandering pilgrim’s home, Haven to take the shipwrecked in, My everlasting rest from sin. 3 Be thou, O love, whatever I want, Support my feebleness of mind, Relieve the thirsty soul, the faint Revive, illuminate the blind, The mournful cheer, the drooping lead, And heal the sick, and raise the dead. 4 Come, O my comfort and delight, My strength and health, my shield and sun, My boast, and confidence, and might, My joy, my glory, and my crown, My Gospel hope, my calling’s prize, My tree of life, my paradise. 5 The secret of the Lord thou art, The mystery so long unknown, Christ in a pure and perfect heart, The name inscribed in the white stone, The life divine, the little leaven, My precious pearl, my present heaven.
