Jesus - The Very Thought to Me

Author: Edward B. Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,026 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:1-11 Lyrics: 1 Jesus - the very thought to me with sweetness fills my breast; But sweeter far your face to see, and in your presence rest. 2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame, nor can the memory find A sweeter sound than your blessed name, Savior of human-kind. 3 O hope of every contrite heart, O joy of all the meek, How kind you are to those apart, how good to those who seek! 4 But what to those who find? Ah this, no tongue nor pen can show Your love, O Jesus, what it is none but your loved ones know. 5 Jesus, our joy, our greatest bliss, and you our prize will be; Our glory here and now is this, and through eternity.

O the pangs his soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; learn from him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb; there, adoring at his feet, mark that miracle of time, God’s own sacrifice complete; “It is finished!” hear him cry; learn from Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb where they laid his breathless clay: all is solitude and gloom. Who has taken him away? Christ is risen! He meets our eyes. Savior, teach us so to rise.

Plunged in a gulf of dark despair

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 479 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:7 Lyrics: 1 Plunged in a gulf of dark despair, We wretched sinners lay, Without one cheerful beam of hope Or spark of glimmering day. 2 With pitying eyes the Prince of Grace Behold our helpless grief; He saw, and--oh, amazing love!-- He ran to our relief. 3 Down from the shining seats above, With joyful haste he fled, Entered the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead. 4 Oh, for this love, let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Saviour's praises speak. 5 Angels, assist our mighty joys, Strike all your harps of gold; But when you raise your highest notes, His love can ne'er be told.
