Jesus, lover of my soul

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,220 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy refuge fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high; hide me, O my Saviour, hide, till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on thee; leave, ah! leave me not alone, still support and comfort me: all my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenceless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, more than all in thee I find, raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound, make and keep me pure within: thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of thee, spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.

Jesus, merciful and mild

Author: Thomas Hastings Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 88 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, merciful and mild, Lead me as a helpless child: On no other arm but thine Would my weary soul recline. Thou art ready to forgive, Thou canst bid the sinner live; Guide the wand'rer, day by day, In the strait and narrow way. 2 Thou canst fit me by thy grace For the heav'nly dwelling-place; All thy promises are sure, Ever shall thy love endure; Then what more could I desire, How to greater bliss aspire? All I need, in thee I see; Thou art all in all to me. 3 Jesus, Saviour all Divine, Hast thou made me truly thine? Hast thou bought me by thy blood? Reconciled my heart to God? Hearken to my tender prayer Let me thine own image bear, Let me love thee more and more Till I reach heav'n's blissful shore. Amen.

Lord, How Large Thy Bounties Are

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, how large Thy bounties are, Tender, gracious sinner’s friend; What a feast dost Thou prepare, And what invitations send? Now fulfill Thy great design, Who didst first the message bring; Every heart to Thee incline, Now compel them to come in. 2 Rushing on the downward road, Sinners no compulsion need; Heaven to forsake, and God, See, they run with rapid speed. Draw them back by love divine— With Thy grace their spirits win; Every heart to Thee incline; Now compel them to come in. 3 Thus their willing souls compel— Thus their happy minds constrain, From the ways of death and hell, Home to God, and grace again. Stretch that conquering arm of Thine, Once stretched out bleed for sin; Every heart to Thee incline, Now compel them to come in.
