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.

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.

Hymn 3--"Of such is the kingdom of heaven"

Appears in 458 hymnals First Line: Around the throne of God in heaven Lyrics: 1 Around the throne of God in heaven Thousands of children stand,-- Children, whose sins are all forgiven, A holy, happy band, 2 What brought them to that world above, That heaven so bright and fair, Where all is peace and joy and love? How came those children there? 3 Because the Saviour shed his blood To wash away their sin: Bathed in that pure and precious flood, Behold them white and clean. 4 On earth they sought their Saviour's grace, On earth they loved his name: So now they see his blessed face, And stand before the Lamb.
