How Firm a Foundation
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,217 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 1:23 First Line: How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Lyrics: 1. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in his excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2. "Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
3. "When thro' fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
4. "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, tho' all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!" Used With Tune: FOUNDATION (Funk) Text Sources: Rippon's A Selection of Hymns, 1787

Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad,
The honors of Thy name.

That bids our sorrows cease;

'Tis life and health and peace.

He sets the pris'ner free.
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood avails for me.

Your God, ye fallen race.
Look and be saved through faith alone,
Be justified by grace.
6 See all your sins on Jesus laid;
The Lamb of God was slain.
His soul was once an off'ring made
For ev'ry soul of man.
7 To God all glory, praise, and love
Be now and ever giv'n
By saints below and saints above,
The Church in earth and heav'n.

clothed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne! [Refrain]

Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,056 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of thee
with sweetness fills my breast.
But sweeter far thy face to see,
and in thy presence rest.

nor can the mind recall
a sweeter sound than thy blest name,
O Savior of us all.
3 O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
to those who fall, how kind thou art!
How good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
nor tongue nor pen can show.
The love of Jesus, what it is
none but his loved ones know.
5 Jesus, our only joy be thou,
as thou our prize wilt be.
Jesus, be thou our glory now,
and through eternity. Topics: Adoration; Healing; Hope; Joy; Living in Christ; Love of God for Us; Personal Peace; Praise Used With Tune: ST. AGNES Text Sources: Latin hymn, 12th cent.

Shake off thy guilty fears;
The bleeding Sacrifice
In thy behalf appears;
Before the throne my Surety stands,
My name is written on His hands,
My name is written on His hands.

For me to intercede;
His all-redeeming love,
His precious blood to plead;
His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.

His pard'ning voice I hear;
He owns me for His child,
I can no longer fear;
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And "Father, Abba Father," cry,
And "Father, Abba, Father" cry.

His Spirit answers to the blood,
And tells me I am born of God,
And tells me I am born of God. Topics: Atonement; Baptism; Christians Assurance; Christians Sonship; Holy Spirit; Jesus Blood; Jesus Intercessor Used With Tune: TOWNER

Spreads heavenly peace around;

Attend the blissful sound.

My ever dear delight.
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light.

And view my Savior there.
