Jesus, my Strength, my Hope
Author: C. Wesley Appears in 388 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Strength, my Hope,
On Thee I cast my care;
With humble confidence look up,
And know Thou hear’st my prayer.
Give me on Thee to wait,
Till I can all things do;
On Thee, almighty to create,
Almighty to renew.
2 I want a godly fear,
A quick discerning eye,
That looks to Thee when sin is near,
And sees the tempter fly:
A spirit still prepared,
And armed with jealous care,
For ever standing on its guard,
And watching unto prayer.
3 I want a true regard,
A single, steady aim,
Unmoved by threatening or reward,
To Thee and Thy great Name;
A zealous, just concern
For Thine immortal praise;
A pure desire that all may learn
And glorify Thy grace.
4 I rest upon Thy Word;
Thy promise is for me:
My succor and salvation, Lord,
Shall surely come from Thee.
But let me still abide,
Nor from my hope remove,
Till Thou my patient spirit guide
Into Thy perfect Love. Topics: Easter Season, Sixth Sunday; Sixty Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: GÖTTINGEN
Jesus, my Strength, my Hope
Evil I Then Must Be
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Evil I then must be
Who bring forth evil fruit:
Corrupt the fruit, corrupt the tree,
And most corrupt the root;
Whatever gift or grace
Thou hast on me bestowed,
Lord, I with all my soul confess,
That yet I am not good. Used With Tune: GÖTTINGEN Text Sources: Short Hymns on Select Passages of Holy Scripture (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1762)
Evil I Then Must Be
O Thou who wouldst not have
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou who wouldst not have
One wretched sinner die,
Who diedst Thyself, my soul to save
From endless misery!
Teach me my course to run,
While yet I sojourn here,
That when Thou comest on Thy throne
I may with joy appear.
2 Thou art Thyself the Way,
Thyself in me reveal;
So shall I pass my life's short day
Obedient to Thy will;
So shall I love my God,
Because He first loved me,
And praise Thee in Thy bright abode,
Through all eternity. Topics: The Order of Salvation Repentance; Advent, Second Sunday; Sundays in Lent; Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity; Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: GÖTTINGEN
O Thou who wouldst not have
Get Thee Behind Us, Fiend
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Get thee behind us, fiend,
With all thy baffled art!
The sheep we know Thou canst not rend,
Unless Thou first canst part:
Jesus His ten-fold power
His saints assembled claim:
Tremble, thou fiend, and fly before
Our mighty captain’s name.
2 Thy wisdom from below
Full well we understand;
Disperse, and then our souls o’erthrow,
Divide us, and command:
But Jesus still shall hold
And keep us safe from harms,
Together lodged within His fold,
His everlasting arms.
3 While in our shepherd’s breast
Our helpless souls we hide,
No devils can disturb our rest,
Nor can the world divide:
To build each other up
We now in Jesus join,
And who shall burst the bond, or stop
The intercourse divine?
4 This God hath bid us do,
And man forbids in vain;
Ye never, never can break through
Love’s adamantine chain:
Joined by the Savior’s will,
The same in mind and heart,
Ye may afflict us here, and kill,
But ye can never part.
5 Resolved our Lord t’obey,
In spite of man’s command,
Together in the ancient way
Through His support we stand:
Nor will we hence remove,
Till all triumphant rise
And meet the first-born Church above,
Assembled in the skies. Used With Tune: GÖTTINGEN Text Sources: Hymns for Times of Trouble and Persecution by John and Charles Wesley (London: Strahan, 1744)
Get Thee Behind Us, Fiend
Let God, the mighty God
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let God, the mighty God,
The Lord of hosts, arise,
With terror clad, with strength endued,
And rend and bow the skies!
Called down by faithful prayer,
Saviour, appear below,
Thy hand lift up, Thine arm make bare,
And quell Thy people's foe.
2 Our Refuge in distress,
In danger's darkest hour,
Appear as in the ancient days,
With full redeeming power:
That Thy redeemed may sing
In glad triumphant strains,
The Lord is God, the Lord is King,
The Lord for ever reigns!
3 We with our ears have heard,
Our fathers us have told
The work that in their days appeared.
And in the times of old:
With such deliverance bless
Whom Thou hast chose for Thine,
That men and nations may confess
The work is all divine! Topics: National In War Time Used With Tune: GÖTTINGEN

Was Ever Grief Like Thine?
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Was ever grief like Thine Lyrics: Was ever grief like Thine,
Jesus, Thou man of woe!
The visage and the form divine,
Why were they mangled so?
That man through Thee restored
God’s image might regain,
And by the sorrows of his Lord,
In joy eternal reign. Used With Tune: GÖTTINGEN Text Sources: Short Hymns on Select Passages of Holy Scripture (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1762)
Was Ever Grief Like Thine?
Lord, who hast made me free
Author: G. W. Briggs Appears in 4 hymnals Used With Tune: WO SOLL ICH FLIEHEN HIN
Lord, who hast made me free
Ah! Whither Would Ye Fly?
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Ah! Whither would ye fly Lyrics: 1 Ah! Whither would ye fly
To screen your guilty heads?
Danger and death are always nigh,
Where’er a sinner treads:
Impenitent, ye strive
To ’scape with fruitless haste,
Whom earth must swallow up alive,
Or hell receive at last.
2 Tremble, ye Christless crowd,
Whom death and hell pursue,
Strangers, and enemies to God,
Alas! What will ye do?
In vain ye change your place,
If still unchanged your mind,
Or fly to distant climes, unless
Ye leave your sins behind.
3 Your sins for vengeance call,
Your sins the scourge demand,
Your sins have judgment brought on all
The sad polluted land:
Cursed for your only sake
The earth reels to and fro,
And lo! Its deep foundations shake,
And Tophet yawns below.
4 The nations to rebuke,
When God His power displays,
Earth trembles at His threatening look,
And moves, and shifts its place:
Infernal thunders roar,
And speak His kindled ire,
And hills dissolve like wax before
The sin consuming fire.
5 Who can escape the wreck
In that vindictive day?
The mountains at His presence quake,
In fear they flee away;
The rocks He rends and tears,
And violently throws down;
And nature in convulsions bears
The terror of His frown.
6 Strong towers, and massy walls,
From their foundations leap,
The Heav’n invading city falls
Into a ruinous heap;
His destined prey to seize,
Old ocean bursts his chain;
The fountains of the great abyss
Are broken up again.
7 On hell’s apparent brink
Who shall the sinner save?
See cities, men, and kingdoms sink
Into a common grave!
What man the earth survives,
The earth to chaos hurled,
While final ruin fiercely drives
Her ploughshare o’er the world!
8 Does refuge yet remain?
Yes, it shall e’er endure!
A place where peace and safety reign,
And sinners rest secure;
A hidden place above,
Where once the prophet stood,
And saw the majesty of love,
And saw the passing God.
9 Hither, ye worms, come up,
Who from His judgments fly,
And meet Him on the mountain top,
And on His love rely;
Safe in the sacred Rock,
Look down on all beneath,
And at destruction smile, and mock
The pointless darts of death.
10 What though the earth remove,
Believers need not fear,
Hid in the cleft of dying love,
While death and hell are near;
A house believers have
Eternal in the skies,
And find a life beyond the grave,
A life that never dies. Used With Tune: GÖTTINGEN Text Sources: Hymns Occasioned by the Earthquake, March 8, 1750 Part 2 (London: Strahan, 1750), alt.
Ah! Whither Would Ye Fly?
The World, Who Know Not God
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The world, who know not God,
Must hate the men that do,
And live by faith in Jesus’ blood,
And Jesus’ tempers show:
And if the sons of night
Usurp the Christian name,
They still abhor the sons of light,
In every age the same.
2 Their ignorance, we find
The ground of enmity,
That hatred of the carnal mind
Against Thy church and Thee:
But warned by Thee, our Lord,
We suffer all their ill,
Who every day deny Thy Word,
And every day fulfill. Used With Tune: GÖTTINGEN Text Sources: Short Hymns on Select Passages of Holy Scripture (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1762)
