O Jesu, we adore Thee

Author: A. T. Russell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 55 hymnals Topics: Confession of Christ Lyrics: 1 O Jesu, we adore Thee, Upon the cross, our King: We bow our hearts before Thee; Thy gracious Name we sing; That Name hath brought salvation, That Name in life our stay, Our peace, our consolation When life shall fade away. 2 Yet doth the world disdain Thee, Still passing by the cross: Lord, may our hearts retain Thee, Counting all else but loss. The grief Thy soul endurèd, Who can that grief declare? Thy pains have thus assurèd That Thou Thy foes wilt spare. 3 Ah, Lord, our sins arraigned Thee, And nailed Thee to the tree: Our pride, O Lord, disdained Thee; Yet deign our hope to be. O glorious King, we bless Thee, No longer pass Thee by; O Jesu, we confess Thee Our Lord enthroned on high. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ALKMUND

The heavenly King must come

Author: H. A. Martin Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Confession of Christ Lyrics: 1 The heavenly King must come His desert realm to see; Must leave His own eternal home, And all His majesty. 2 And lo! before Him sent His herald, who must cry And never spare, "Repent, repent! Your King, your God, is nigh!" 3 He, when his work is done, Must see his light decay, Must hail with joy the brighter Sun, The glorious King of day. 4 O Lord, O King, O Sun, Whose messenger he came, Baptize us all, most holy One, In Thy refining flame. 5 Give us Thy grace, that we All evil may forsake, May boldly speak the truth for Thee, The lowest place may take. 6 So, when Thou com'st again, Thy realm redeemed to see, Thy steps shall find 'mid hearts of men A way made straight for Thee. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE
