I will leave my Jesus never!

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #200 (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Topics: Renouncing All for Christ Lyrics: 1 I will leave my Jesus never! On the cross for me He died; Love shall draw me to Him ever, At His feet I will abide. Of my life the light forever, I will leave my Jesus never! 2 In His Name I stand acquitted While upon the earth I stay: What I have to Him committed He will keep until that day. Be His service my endeavor; I will leave my Jesus never. 3 Dwelling in His presence holy, I at length shall reach the place Where with all His saints in glory I shall see His lovely face; Nothing then but bliss forever: I will leave my Jesus never. 4 Not for any worldly pleasure Doth my thirsty spirit pine; Not the earth with all its treasure Could content this soul of mine; For its Saviour yearning ever: I will leave my Jesus never. 5 From that living Fountain drinking, Walking always at His side, Christ shall lead me without sinking Through the river's rushing tide, With the blest to sing for ever: I will leave my Jesus never.

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #203 (1898) Topics: Renouncing All for Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; Unite my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there. Thine wholly, Thine alone I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2 Oh, grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but Thy pure love alone! Oh, may Thy love possess me whole, And be my treasure, and my crown! Strange flames far from my heart remove; May every act, word, thought, be love! 3 O Love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies: Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek but Thee! 4 O draw me, Saviour, after Thee! So shall I run and never tire. With gracious words still comfort me; Be Thou my hope, my sole desire. Free me from every weight: not fear No sin can come, if Thou art here. 5 From all eternity, with love Unchangeable Thou hast me viewed; Ere knew this beating heart to move, Thy tender mercies me pursued. Ever with me may they abide, And close me in on every side. 6 Still let Thy love point out my way; What wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my word, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 7 In suffering, be Thy love my peace; In weakness, be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that dark final hour Of death, be Thou my guide and friend, That I may love Thee without end.

Lord, if Thou Thy grace impart

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #130 (1898) Topics: Renouncing All for Christ Lyrics: 1 Lord, if Thou Thy grace impart, Poor in spirit, meek in heart, I shall as my Master be, Clothéd with humility; 2 Simple, teachable, and mild, Changed into a little child, Pleased with all the Lord provides, Weaned from all the world besides. 3 Father, fix my soul on Thee; Every evil let me flee, Nothing want beneath, above, Happy in Thy precious love. 4 O that all may seek and find Every good in Christ combined! Him let Israel still adore, Trust Him, praise Him evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: REDHEAD, 47

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #262 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Topics: Renouncing All for Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Saviour, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me-- Thou art not, like them, untrue. Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials sore may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. 3 Go then, earthly fame and treasure! Come disaster, scorn, and pain! In Thy service pain is pleasure; With Thy favor loss is gain. I have called Thee Abba, Father; I have stayed my heart on Thee: Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me. 4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find, in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thine earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Languages: English Tune Title: WORLD, FAREWELL!

A mighty fortress is our God

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #270 (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Topics: Renouncing All for Christ Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; Our help is He in all our need, Our stay, whate'er doth happen. The old malignant foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours naught can be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One, Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye who this may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth is His name, From age to age the same,-- He holds the field forever. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All eager to devour us, Our souls to fear should little yield, They cannot overpower us. The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let abide, Nor thanks be due them for it; The Lord of hosts is by our side, Grants us His gifts and Spirit; And though they take our life, Goods, honor--children, wife, Yet, when their worst is done, They still have nothing won: The Kingdom ours remaineth.

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #196 (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Renouncing All for Christ Lyrics: 1 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I'm baptized in Thy dear name; In the seed Thou dost inherit, With the people Thou dost claim, I am reckoned, I am reckoned, And for me the Saviour came. 2 Thou receivest me, O Father, As a child and heir of Thine: Jesus, Thou who diedst, yea, rather Ever livest, Thou art mine. Thou, O Spirit, Thou, O Spirit, Art my guide, my light divine. 3 I have pledged, and would not falter, Truth, obedience, love to Thee; I have vows upon Thine altar Ever Thine alone to be, And forever, And forever, Sin and all its lusts to flee. 4 Gracious God, all Thou hast spoken In this covenant shall take place; But if I, alas, have broken These my vows, hide not Thy face; And from falling, And from falling, O restore me by Thy grace! 5 Lord, to Thee I now surrender All I have, and all I am; Make my heart more true and tender, Glorify in me Thy name. Let obedience, Let obedience, To Thy will be all my aim. 6 Help me in this high endeavor, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Bind my heart to Thee forever, Till I join the heavenly host; Living, dying, Living, dying, Let me make in Thee my boast. Languages: English Tune Title: RESIGNATION
