Beautiful Christ, beautiful Christ

Refrain: Beautiful Christ, beautiful Christ, Fairest of thousands, and pearl of great price; Beautiful Christ, beautiful Christ, Gladly we welcome thee, beautiful Christ. 2 Beautiful Jesus, what treasure you brought, When from Heaven’s splendour the earth first you sought. Beautiful Jesus, beloved of God, Emblem of purity, emblem of good. 3 Beautiful Jesus, so gentle and mild, Light of the sinner in ways dark and wild; Beautiful Jesus, O save such just now, As at thy feet they in penitence bow!

Deep were the scarlet stains of sin

Author: Olive Holbrook Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Deep were the scarlet stains of sin, Strong were the bonds of fault within; But now I stand both pure and free, The blood of Jesus cleanses me. 2 Strong are the foes that round me creep, Constant the vigil I must keep; But from a secret armoury The grace of Jesus strengthens me. 3 What though the treacherous road may wind, Faith in my heart assures my mind; E’en when his face I do not see, The hand of Jesus reaches me. 4 This is the lamp to pilgrim given, This is my passport into Heaven, Portent of immortality, That God, through Jesus, dwells in me.
