Jesus, Thou art mine forever

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thou art mine forever, Dearer far than earth to me; Neither life nor death shall sever Those sweet ties which bind to Thee. 2 All were drear to me and lonely, If Thy presence gladdened not; While I sing to Thee-- Thee only, Mine’s an ever blissful lot. 3 Thou alone art all my Treasure, Who hast died that I might live, Thou conferrest noblest pleasure, Who dost all my sins forgive. 4 Brightest gems and fairest flowers Lose their beauty in Thy frown; Joy and peace, like balmy showers, In Thy smile come gently down. 5 Jesus, Thou art mine forever, Suffer not myself to stray; Let me in my weakness never Cast my priceless pearl away. 6 Lamb of God! I do implore Thee, Guard, support me, lest I fall; Let me evermore adore Thee, Be my everlasting All. Topics: The Redeemer

We, poor exiles, Join not yet your melody. 3 Alleluia! strains of gladness Suit not souls with anguish torn: Alleluia! sounds of sadness Best become our state forlorn: Our offences We with bitter tears must mourn. 4 But our earnest supplication Holy God, we raise to Thee: Visit us with Thy salvation, Make us all Thy joys to see!

Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

Author: Mrs. Alexander Meter: 8.7 Appears in 932 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea, Day by day His sweet voice soundeth, Saying, "Christian, follow Me;" 2 As of old, Saint Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home, and toil, and kindred, Leaving all for His dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store; From each idol that would keep us, Saying, "Christian, love Me more." 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still He calls, in cares and pleasures, "That we love Him more than these." 5 Jesus calls us: by Thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear Thy call, Give our hearts to Thine obedience, Serve and love Thee best of all. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Andrew; Christ's Call Used With Tune: [Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult]
