Jesus, Savior, Thou Art Mine

Author: Henry Van Andel Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Savior, Thou art mine, While I wander unbefriended; Let my life be wholly Thine, Ever by Thy grace attended. Thou art my Defense and Tower, When the storms of evil lower; I will trust, for I am Thine, Jesus Savior, Thou art mine. 2. Jesus, Savior, Thou art mine; Even though in pain and sorrow I should feel my faith decline, I would find Thee on the morrow; With Thy Spirit's light to guide me, And Thy wings of love to hide me; I will trust, for I am Thine, Jesus Savior, Thou art mine. 3. Jesus, Savior, Thou art mine; wWen the waves of doubt are surging, I cling to that Word of Thine, Till I, from the depths emerging, By its light regain Thy favor, For Thy truth can never waver; I will trust, for I am Thine, Jesus Savior, Thou art mine.

My God, My God, O Why Hast Thou?

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: My God, my God, O why hast Thou Lyrics: 1 My God, my God, O why hast Thou In my distress forsaken me? O why so far from giving help, And from my agonizing plea? By day, my God, I cry in vain, By night, yet no relief I gain. 2 Reproached of men, by all despised, A worm and not a man am I; All they that see me laugh in scorn, They nod, shoot out the lip, and cry, "He trusts the Lord, let Him defend And save him since He is his friend." 3 Thou gavest life, Thou mad'st me trust When I was on my mother's breast; From birth dependent on Thy care, Thou art my God, in Thee I rest. Be not far off, for grief is nigh; There's none om whom I can rely. 4 My life like water is poured out; My bones all out of joint do part; And like a shard my strength is dried; Like wax so melted is my heart; My tongue and jaws together cling, And Thou to death my soul dost bring. 5 Like dogs the wicked close me in, Yea, they have pierced my hands and feet, And I may number all my bones; They look and stare who round me meet; My garments 'mong them they divide, And on my robe by lot decide.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Hallelujah To the Lamb who once was slain! Hallelujah! Hallelujah To Him who lives again! 2. What rush of alleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Be-speaks the triumph night! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! [Refrain] 3. Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy pow'r and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heav'ns Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Savior, come.

The Heavens in Their Splendor

Author: Rev. Edward A. Collier, D. D. Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The heav'ns in their splendor declare Lyrics: 1 The heav'ns in their splendor declare The might and the glory of God, For day unto day speaks His praise, And night tells His wisdom abroad. They speak not with audible word, Yet clear is the message they send; Their witness goes out thro' the earth, Their word to the world's farthest end. 2 The law that the Lord has ordained Is perfect, the soul to restore; His truth makes the simple most wise, The truth that is sure evermore. His precepts are righteous and just, Rejoicing the heart and the mind; And all His commandments are pure, Enlight'ning the eyes of the blind. 3 The fear of the Lord is most clean, Forever unmoved it has stood; His judgments are perfectly true, In all things most righteous and good. Such treasure no gold can supply, Such sweetness no honey afford; Their warnings none heed and obey But find most abundant reward. 4 O who can his errors discern? From hidden faults, Lord, keep me free; Let pride never reign in my heart, And clear of great sin I shall be. I pray that my words and my tho'ts May all with Thy precepts accord, And ever be pleasing to Thee, My Rock, my Redeemer, my Lord.

The Tribes of the Southwest

Author: Rev. L. P. Brink Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The Wallapai, the Navaho Lyrics: 1. The Wallapai, the Navaho, The Pima and the Papao, Have heard of Christ the Lord; Yea, Hopies and Mohaves too, And Maricopas, not a few, Give heed unto His Word. 2. The Yumas in their southern land, Apaches strong, a warlike band, His loving voice have heard; The Zunies in the village brown, Lagunas in their ancient town, Were by His message stirred. 3. The Utes, who in the Rockies dwell, And Jicarillas also, tell Of His redeeming grace; While Mescaleroes, 'way down south, Have heard the message of His mouth, Have seen His shining face. 4. But all along the Rio Grande The towns of many Puebloes stand Who have not heard His voice; O, who will bring that message true To Taos and to Isleta too, And make their hearts rejoice? 5. Who'll enter in where gates are barred, Where human hearts are seared and scarred By superstition's pow'r? O Lord, these fettered doors unclose, Cast down what doth Thy Word oppose, Dear Savior, speed the hour. Topics: The Church; Means of Grace Missions Used With Tune: [The Wallapai, the Navaho]
