King most wonderful, Thou Conqueror renowned, Thou sweetness most ineffable, In whom all joys are found! 2 When once thou visitest the heart, Then truth begins to shine, Then earthly vanities depart, Then kindles love divine. 3 O Jesus, Light of all below! Thou Fount of life and fire! Surpassing all the joys we know, All that we can desire,-- 4 May every heart confess thy name, And ever thee adore; And, seeking thee, itself inflame To seek thee more and more. 5 Thee may our tongues for ever bless, Thee may we love alone; And ever in our life express The image of thine own.

Must all the charms of nature then

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Communion with saints Lyrics: Must all the charms of nature, then, So hopeless to salvation prove? Can hell demand, can heav'n condemn, The man whom Jesus deigns to love? The man who sought the ways of truth, Paid friends and neighbors all their due; A modest, sober, lovely youth, And thought he wanted nothing new. But mark the change; thus spake the Lord- "Come, part with earth for heav'n today:" The youth, astonished at the word, In silent sadness went his way. Poor virtues that he boasted so, This test unable to endure; Let Christ, and grace, and glory go, To make his land and money sure! Ah, foolish choice of treasures here! Ah, fatal love of tempting gold! Must this base world be bought so dear? Are life and heav'n so cheaply sold? In vain the charms of nature shine, If this vile passion govern me: Transform my soul, O love divine! And make me part with all for thee. Scripture: Mark 10:21

Thy rod and staff shall cheer me In death's dark vale and shade, For Thou wilt then be near me: I shall not be afraid. 3 My food Thou dost appoint me, Supplied before my foes; With oil Thou dost anoint me, My cup of bliss o'erflows. Thy goodness Lord, shall guide me, Thy mercy cheer my way; A home Thou wilt provide me Within Thy house for aye. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: EWING
