Jesus, Name all names above

Author: Theoctistus of the Studium; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8.7.7 Appears in 68 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Name all names above, Jesus, best and dearest, Jesus, Fount of perfect love, Holiest, tenderest, nearest; Jesus, Source of grace completest, Jesus purest, Jesus sweetest, Jesus, Well of power divine, Make me, keep me, seal me Thine! 2 Thou didst call the prodigal; Thou didst pardon Mary; Thou Whose words can never fall, Love can never vary; Thou Whose wounds are ever pleading, And Thy passion interceding, From my misery let me rise To a home in Paradise! 3 Jesus, crowned with thorns for me, Scourged for my transgression, Witnessing, through agony, That Thy good confession; Jesus, clad in purple raiment, For my evils making payment, Let not all Thy woe and pain, Let not Calvary be in vain! 4 When I reach death’s bitter sea, And its waves mount higher, Earthly help forsaking me, As the storm draws nigher: Jesus, leave me not to languish: Helpless, hopeless, full of anguish! Jesus, let me hear Thee say: "Thou shalt be with Me to-day!" Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Used With Tune: ST. JOHN DAMASCENE

In Thy wounds I find relief From my greatest sin and grief. 4 Let my life and conversation Be directed by Thy Word; Lord, Thy constant preservation To thy erring child afford. No where but alone in Thee From all harm can I be free. 5 Wholly to Thy blest protection I commit my heart and mind; Mighty God! to Thy direction Wholly may I be resigned. Lord, my Shield, my Light divine, O accept, and own me Thine! Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Morning Used With Tune: GOTT DES HIMMELS

Evening and morning

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Richard Massie Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Evening and morning, Sunset and dawning, Wealth, peace, and gladness, Comfort in sadness, These are Thy works; all the glory be Thine!

Order my goings; Direct all my doings. As it may please Thee,, Retain or release me; All I commit to Thy Fatherly hand. 3 Griefs of God's sending Soon have an ending; Clouds may be pouring, Wind and wave roaring: Sunshine will come when the tempest has past. Joys still increasing, And peace never ceasing, Fountains that dry not, And roses that die not, Blooming in Eden, await me at last. Amen.

Light of Life, that shinest

Author: Godfrey Thring Appears in 164 hymnals First Line: From the eastern mountains Lyrics: 1 From the eastern mountains Pressing on they come, Wise men in their wisdom, To His humble home; Stirred by deep devotion, Hasting from afar, Ever journeying onward, Guided by a Star. Refrain: Light of Life, that shineth Ere the world began, Draw Thou near and lighten Every heart of man. 2 There their Lord and Saviour Meek and lowly lay, Wondrous Light that led them Onward on their way, Ever now to lighten Nations from afar, As they journey homeward By that guiding Star. [Refrain] 3 Thou Who in a manger Once hast lowly lain, Who dost now in glory O'er all kingdoms reign, Gather in the heathen, Who in lands afar Ne'er have seen the brightness Of Thy guiding Star. [Refrain] 4 Gather in the outcasts, All who've gone astray, Throw Thy radiance o'er them, Guide them on their way, Those who never knew Thee, Those who've wandered far, Lead them by the brightness Of Thy guiding Star. [Refrain] 5 Onward through the darkness Of the lonely night, Shining still before them With Thy kindly light, Guide them, Jew and Gentile, Homeward from afar, Young and old together, By Thy guiding Star:-- [Refrain] 6 Until every nation, Whether bond or free, 'Neath Thy starlit banner, Jesus, follows Thee O'er the distant mountains To that heavenly home, Where no sin nor sorrow Evermore shall come.
