One There Is Above All Others
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 687 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:13 Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others
Well deserves the name of Friend.
His is love beyond a brother’s,
Costly, free, and knows no end.
They who once His kindness prove
Find it everlasting love.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But this Saviour died to have us
Reconciled in Him to God:
This was boundless love indeed;
Jesus is a Friend in need.
3 When He lived on earth abasèd,
Friend of sinners was His Name:
Now, above all glory raisèd,
He rejoices in the same:
Still He calls them brethren, friends,
And to all their wants attends.
4 O for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love.
We, alas, forget too often,
What a Friend we have above:
But when home our souls are brought,
We will love Thee as we ought.

We Would See Jesus; Lo! His Star is Shining
Author: J. Edgar Park Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:9 Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; lo! his star is shining,
above the stable while the angels sing;
in manger humble on the hay reclining,
haste, let us lay our gifts before the King.
2 We would see Jesus; Mary's son most holy,
Light of the village life from day to day;
shines revealed through ev'ry task most lowly,
the Christ of God, the Life, the Truth, the Way.
3 We would see Jesus; on the mountain teaching,
with all the list'ning people gathered round;
while birds and flow'rs and sky above are preaching
the blessedness which simple trust has found.
4 We would see Jesus; in his work of healing,
that joyful evening when the sun was set;
divine and human, in his deep revealing
of God made flesh, in loving service meet.
5 We would see Jesus; in the early morning,
still, as of old he calleth, "Follow me";
let us arise, all meaner service scorning;
Lord, we are thine; we give ourselves to thee.
