Come, Saviour Jesus, from above
Author: John Byrom, 1692-1763; Madame de Bourignon, 1616-1680 Appears in 138 hymnals Topics: Jesus (See also Christ) Master Lyrics: 1 Come, Saviour Jesus, from above,
Assist me with Thy heavenly grace;
Empty my heart of earthly love,
And for Thyself prepare the place.
2 O let Thy sacred presence fill,
And set my longing spirit free,
Which pants to have no other will,
But day and night to feast on Thee.
3 While in this region here below,
No other good will I pursue;
I'll bid this world of noise and show,
With all its glittering snares, adieu!
4 That path with humble speed I'll seek,
In which my Saviour's footsteps shine;
Nor will I hear, nor will I speak,
Of any other love but Thine.
5 Henceforth may no profane delight
Divide this consecrated soul;
Possess it Thou, who hast the right,
As Lord and Master of the whole.

Come, Saviour Jesus, from above
Eternal Father! strong to save
Author: W. Whiting, 1825-1878 Appears in 443 hymnals Topics: Sailors' Hymn (See also under "Sea") Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father! strong to save,
Whose arm doth bind the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
2 O Saviour! whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walkedst on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage did sleep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
3 O Sacred Spirit! who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
Who bad'st its angry tumults cease,
And gavest light, and life, and peace:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
4 O Trinity of love and power!
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
And ever let there rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Used With Tune: MELITA
Eternal Father! strong to save
From Greenland's icy mountains
Author: Bp. R. Heber, 1783-1826 Appears in 1,709 hymnals Topics: Missions (See also Kingdom of Christ) Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand,
From many as ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle,
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile!
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strewn;
The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.
3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Shall we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation! O salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim,
Till earth's remotest nation
Has learnt Messiah's name.
4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story,
And you, ye waters, roll,
Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole;
Till o'er our ransomed nature,
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.

All wrong shall stand revealed,
When justice shall be clothed with might,
And every hurt be healed.

Shall walk the earth abroad,

What a Friend we have in Jesus
Author: J. Scriven, 1820-1886 Appears in 1,812 hymnals Topics: Jesus (See also Christ) Friend Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heaven-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despite, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and shield Thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there. Used With Tune: FRIENDSHIP

Where high the heavenly temple stands
Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Appears in 206 hymnals Topics: Jesus (See also Christ Love for Children Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands,
The house of God not made with hands,
A great High Priest our nature wears,
The guardian of mankind appears.
2 He who for men their surety stood,
And poured on earth His precious blood,
Pursues in heaven His mighty plan,
The Saviour and the Friend of man.
3 Though now ascended up on high,
He bends on earth a brother's eye;
Partaker of the human name,
He knows the frailty of our frame.
4 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains
A fellow-feeling of our pains;
And still remembers in the skies
His tears, His agonies and cries.
5 In every pang that rends the heart,
The Man of sorrows had a part;
He sympathizes with our grief,
And to the sufferer sends relief.
6 With boldness, therefore, at the throne,
Let us make all our sorrows known;
And ask the aid of heavenly power
To help us in the evil hour. Used With Tune: ST. ALBAN
Where high the heavenly temple stands
Workman of God, O lose not heart
Author: Dr. F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Appears in 101 hymnals Topics: Conflict (see also Warfare) Ended Lyrics: 1 Workman of God, O lose not heart,
But learn what God is like;
And in the darkest battle-field
Thou shalt know where to strike.
2 Thrice blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field when He
Is most invisible.
3 Then learn to scorn the praise of man,
And learn to lose with God;
For Jesus won the world through shame,
And beckons thee His road.
4 For right is right, since God is God,
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin. Used With Tune: NOX PRAECESSIT

The blessing of God's chosen race,
The wisdom coming from above,
The faith that sweetly works by love.
2 Wisdom divine! who tells the price
Of wisdom's costly merchandise?
Wisdom to silver we prefer,
And gold is dross compared to her.
3 Her hands are filled with length of days,
True riches, and immortal praise,
Riches of Christ on all bestowed,
And honour that descends from God.
4 To purest joys she all invites,
Chaste, holy, spiritual delights;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her flowery paths are peace.
5 Happy the man who wisdom gains;
Thrice happy, who his guest retains;
He owns, and shall for ever own,
Wisdom, and Christ, and heaven, are one. Used With Tune: ERNAN
Happy the man who finds the grace
