One there is above all others

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 691 hymnals Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend. His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end. They who once His kindness prove, Find it everlasting Love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in Him to God: This was boundless Love indeed: Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When He lived on earth abaséd, Friend of sinners was His name, Now, above all glory raiséd, He rejoices in the same: Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love, We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought.

Come Thou also unto me; Where we find Thee and adore Thee, There a heaven on earth must be. To my heart O enter Thou, Let it be Thy temple now. 3 Here Thy praise is gladly chanted, Here Thy seed is duly sown: Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone. So that all I hear may be Fruitful unto life in me. 4 Thou my faith increase and quicken, Let me keep Thy gift divine, Howsoe'er temptations thicken, May Thy Word still o'er me shine; As my pole-star through my life, As my comfort in my strife. 5 Speak, O Lord, and I will hear Thee; Let Thy will be done indeed; May I undisturbed draw near Thee, While Thou dost Thy people feed; Here of life the fountain flows; Here is balm for all our woes.

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 205 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come to Calvary's holy mountain, Sinners, ruined by the Fall; Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all; In a full perpetual tide, Opened when our Saviour died. 2 Come in poverty and meanness, Come defiled, without, within; From infection and uncleanness, From the leprosy of sin, Wash your robes and make them white; Ye shall walk with God in light. 3 Come in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent, and blind; Here the guilty free remission, Here the troubled peace may find: Health this fountain will restore; He that drinks shall thirst no more. 4 He that drinks shall live for ever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood: God is faithful; God will never Break His covenant in Blood, Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when He was glorified.

Who is this that comes from Edom

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 102 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who is this that comes from Edom, All His raiment stained with blood, To the captive speaking freedom, Bringing and bestowing good; Glorious in the garb He wears, Glorious in the spoils He bears? 2 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious, Travelling onward in His might; 'Tis the Saviour; O how glorious To His people is the sight! Satan conquered and the grave, Jesus now is strong to save, 3 Why that blood His raiment staining? 'Tis the blood of many slain; Of His foes there's none remaining, None the contest to maintain. Fallen they are, no more to rise; All their glory prostrate lies. 4 Mighty Victor! reign for ever, Wear the crown so dearly won; Never shall Thy people, never, Cease to sing what Thou hast done: Thou hast fought Thy people's foes; Thou hast healed Thy people's woes.

Conquering Prince and Lord of glory

Author: Miss Winkworth; Gerhard Tersteegen Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Conquering Prince and Lord of glory, Majestly enthroned in light! All the heavens are bowed before Thee, Far beyond them spreads Thy might. Shall I fall not at Thy feet, And my heart with rapture beat, Now Thy glory is displayed, Thine ere yet the worlds were made? 2 As I watch Thee far ascending To the right hand of the throne, See the host before Thee bending, Praising Thee in sweetest tone, Shall not I too at Thy feet Here the angels' strain repeat, And rejoice that heaven doth ring With the triumph of my King? 3 Power and Spirit are o'erflowing; On me also be they poured: Every hindrance overthrowing, Make Thy foes Thy footstool, Lord. Yea, let earth's remotest end To Thy righteous sceptre bend; Make Thy way before Thee plain, O'er all hearts and spirits reign. 4 Lo! Thy presence now is filling All Thy Church in every place, Fill my heart too, make me willing In this season of Thy grace. Come, Thou King of glory, come, Deign to make my heart Thy home, There abide and rule alone, As upon Thy heavenly throne. 5 Thou art leaving me, yet bringing God and heaven most inly near: From this earthly life upspringing, As though still I saw Thee here, Let my heart, transplanted hence, Strange to earth, and time, and sense, Dwell with Thee in heaven e'en now, Where our only joy art Thou!

The mystery hidden from the eyes

Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 THE mystery hidden from the eyes Of learned men and sages, God hath revealed us from the skies, In Scriptures holy pages, That He alone is King above All other gods whatever, Great, mighty, faithful, full of love, His people's Shield and Saviour; One Essence, but three Persons. 2 As Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The righteous seed adore Him; So named, so praised, He is the boast Of all who bow before Him; He's Abraham's and Isaac's God, And Jacob's whom He knoweth, The Lord of hosts, who every good, Both night and day, bestoweth; Who only worketh wonders. 3 The Father hath the Son begot, First-born of every creature; The Son took our weak flesh, but not Our sinfulness of nature; Both from the Father and the Son Thy Holy Ghost proceedeth From all eternity; yet none In might and power exceedeth; All equal, co-eternal. 4 Be glad, my heart, thy Portion see, Thy priceless Pearl and Treasure! He is thy Friend, supply will He Thy needs with bounteous measure: He made thee in His image, was For thy offences smitten, With true faith fill thee, through His grace Doth all thy crosses sweeten With His dear word of promise. 5 Rise, then, to Him, the Ever-blest, And learn to know Him rightly; Such knowledge can alone bring rest, And make thy soul burn brightly With the pure flame of holy love, Which cheers thy course to heaven; For God will show thee things above, Which here 'tis only given To hear of, and see darkly. 6 But woe to the ungodly race In willful blindness living, Rejecting God and His dear grace, Their heart to creatures giving. On them, alas! the hellish gates Ere long will close forever; For him whom God rejects and hates God will reject and sever From His eternal kingdom. 7 O Prince of might! Thy mercy show, Thou God of earth and heaven; To every sinner here below Thy saving grace be given! Bring back Thy sheep that go astray, And blinded eyes enlighten, And turn Thou everything away That wickedly might frighten Thine own, whose faith is feeble. 8 Grant this, that we Thy people may All reach the heavenly portals, And in Thy kingdom sing for aye 'Mid all the blest immortals: That Thou, O Lord, art King alone, Above all gods whatever, The Father, Son, and Spirit, One, Thy people's Shield and Saviour, One Essence, but three Persons!
