Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus
Author: H. H. L. Meter: 9.8.9.8.7.8.10.9 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:2 First Line: O soul, are you weary and troubled? Lyrics: 1 O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!
Refrain:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
2 Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O’er us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are! [Refrain]
3 His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell! [Refrain]

Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus
I bind unto myself today
Author: St Patrick, c. 389-c.461; Cecil Francis Alexander, 1818-95 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-4 Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong name of the Trinity
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One, and One in Three.
2 I bind this day to me forever,
by power of faith, Christ’s incarnation,
his baptism in the Jordan river,
his death on cross for my salvation,
his bursting from the spiced tomb,
his riding up the heavenly way,
his coming at the day of doom;
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the starlit heaven,
the glorious sun’s life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind’s tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
God’s eye to watch, God’s might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard.
5 Against all Satan’s spells and wiles,
against false words of heresy,
against the knowledge that defiles,
against the heart’s idolatry,
against the wizard’s evil craft,
against the death-wound and the burning,
the choking wave, the poisoned shaft,
protect me, Christ, till your returning.
6 Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
7 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong name of the Trinity
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One and One in Three,
of whom all nature has creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation:
salvation is of Christ the Lord. (Amen)

Who Trusts in God a Strong Abode
Author: Joachim Magdeburg, c. 1525-after 1587; Benjamin H. Kennedy, 1804-99 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:2-3 Lyrics: 1 Who trusts in God
A strong abode
In heav'n and earth possesses;
Who looks in love
To Christ above,
No fear that heart oppresses.
In You alone, dear Lord, we own
Sweet hope and consolation,
Our shield from foes,
Our balm for woes,
Our great and sure salvation.
2 Though Satan's wrath
Beset our path
And worldly scorn assail us,
While You are near,
We shall not fear;
Your strength shall never fail us.
Your rod and staff
Will keep us safe
And guide our steps for ever;
Nor shades of death
Nor hell beneath
Our lives from You will sever.
3 In all the strife
Of mortal life
Our feet shall stand securely;
Temptation's hour
Will lose its pow'r,
For You will guard us surely.
O God, renew
With heav'nly dew
Our body, soul, and spirit
Until we stand
At Your right hand
Through Jesus' saving merit.

Jesus, Refuge of the Weary
Author: Girolamo Savonarola, 1452-1498; Jane F. Wilde, 1826-1896 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-3 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, refuge of the weary,
blest Redeemer, whom we love,
fountain in life's desert dreary,
Savior from the world above,
often have your eyes, offended,
gazed upon the sinner's fall;
yet, upon the cross extended,
you endured the pain of all.
2 Dare we pass that cross unheeding,
breathing no repentant vow,
as we see you wounded, bleeding,
see your thorn-encircled brow?
Since your sinless death has brought us
life eternal, peace, and rest,
only what your grace has taught us
calms the sinner's deep distress.
3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning
with more fervent love for you!
May our eyes be ever turning
to behold your cross anew,
till in glory, parted never
from the blessed Savior's side,
graven in our hearts forever,
dwell the cross, the Crucified! Topics: Lent Used With Tune: O DU LIEBE MEINER LIEBE

He'll Understand and Say, "Well Done"
Author: Lucy E. Campbell Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:1 First Line: If when you give the best of your service Refrain First Line: Oh when I come to the end of my journey Lyrics: 1 If when you give the best of your service,
Telling the world that the Savior is come;
Be not dismayed when men don't believe you,
He understands; He'll say, "Well done."

Oh when I come to the end of my journey,
Weary of life and the battle is won;
Carrying the staff and the cross of redemption,
He'll understand and say, "Well done."

Hung on the cross; He was God's only Son;
Oh, hear Him call His Father in heaven,
"Let not my will, but Thine be done." (Chorus)
3 If when this life of labor is ended,
And the reward of the race you have run;
Oh! take the sweet rest prepared for faithful,
Will be His blest and final, "Well done." (Chorus)
4 But if you try and fail in your trying,
Hands sore and scarred from the work you've begun;
Take up your cross, run quickly to meet Him,
He'll understand; He'll say, "Well done." (Chorus) Used With Tune: [If when you give the best of your service]

Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Let us love and sing and wonder,
let us praise the Savior's name!
He has hushed the law's loud thunder,
he has quenched Mount Sinai's flame:
he has washed us with his blood,
he has brought us nigh to God.
2 Let us love the Lord who bought us,
pitied us when enemies,
called us by his grace and taught us,
gave us ears and gave us eyes:
he has washed us with his blood,
he presents our souls to God.
3 Let us sing, though fierce temptation
threaten hard to bear us down!
For the Lord, our strong salvation,
holds in view the conqu'ror's crown:
he who washed us with his blood
soon will bring us home to God.
4 Let us wonder; grace and justice
join and point to mercy's store;
when thro' grace in Christ our trust is,
justice smiles and asks no more:
he who washed us with his blood
has secured our way to God.
5 Let us praise, and join the chorus
of the saints enthroned on high;
here they trusted him before us,
now their praises fill the sky:
"You have washed us with your blood;
you are worthy, Lamb of God!" Topics: Christ Blood of; Christ Praise of; Law of God; Rewards Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS OLD
