Rise, O my soul, pursue the path

Author: John Needham Appears in 148 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise, O my soul, pursue the path By ancient worthies trod; Aspiring, view those holy men Who lived and walked with God. 2 Though dead, they speak in reason’s ear, And in example live; Their faith, and hope, and mighty deeds, Still fresh instruction give. 3 ’Twas through the Lamb’s most precious blood They conquered every foe; To His power and matchless grace Their crowns of life they owe. 4 Lord, may I ever keep in view The patterns Thou hast giv'n, And ne’er forsake the blessèd road That led them safe to heav'n.

Lord, At Thy Table I Behold

Author: Joseph Stennett, 1663-1713 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 191 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, at Thy table I behold The wonders of Thy grace; But most of all admire that I Should find a welcome place. 2 I, that am all defiled with sin, A rebel to my God; I, that have crucified His Son, And trampled on His blood. 3 What strange, surprising grace is this, That such a soul has room! My Savior takes me by the hand, My Jesus bids me come. 4 Eat, O My friends, the Savior cries, The feast was made for you; For you I groaned, and bled, and died, And rose, and triumphed, too. 5 With trembling faith, and bleeding hearts, Lord, we accept Thy love; ’Tis a rich banquet we have had, What will it be above? 6 Ye saints below, and hosts of Heaven, Join all your praising powers; No theme is like redeeming love, No Savior is like ours. 7 Had I ten thousand hearts, dear Lord, I’d give them all to Thee; Had I ten thousand tongues, they all Should join the harmony.

Jesus, to thee I now can fly

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, to thee I now can fly, On whom my help is laid: Oppressed by sins, I lift mine eye, And see the shadows fade. 2 Believing on my Lord, I find A sure and present aid; On thee alone my constant mind Be every moment stayed. 3 Whate'er in me seems wise, or good, Or strong, I here disclaim; I wash my garments in the blood Of the atoning Lamb. 4 Jesus, my strength, my life, my rest, On thee will I depend, Till summoned to the marriage-feast, When faith in sight shall end.
