My faith looks up to Thee
Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 6.4 Appears in 2,205 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.
2 May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.
3 While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4 When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul. Topics: The Christian Life Trust in Christ and Redemption; Sunday after Christmas; Sundays in Lent; Passion Week Used With Tune: FAITH

Jesus, my Truth, my Way
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 154 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Truth, my Way,
My sure, unerring Light,
On Thee my feeble soul I stay,
Which Thou wilt lead aright.
2 My Wisdom and my Guide,
My Counsellor thou art:
O let me never leave Thy side,
Nor from Thy paths depart.
3 Thou seest my feebleness;
Jesus, be Thou my Power,
My help and Refuge in distress,
My Fortress and my Tower.
4 Give me to trust in Thee;
Be Thou my sure abode:
My horn, and rock,and buckler be,
My Saviour and my God.
5 Myself I cannot save,
Myself I cannot keep;
But strength in Thee I surely have,
Whose eyelids never sleep.

Now therefore I commend:
Thou, Jesus, having loved thine own,
Wilt love me to the end! Topics: The Christian Life Trust in Christ and Redemption; Sunday after Christmas; Sundays in Lent Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE
Jesus, my Truth, my Way
O Lord, I would delight in Thee
Author: John Ryland Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 243 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I would delight in Thee,
And on Thy care depend;
To Thee in every trouble flee,
My best, my only Friend.
2 When all created streams are dried,
Thy fulness is the same;
May I with this be satisfied,
And glory in Thy Name!
3 No good in creatures can be found,
But may be found in Thee;
I must have all things, and abound,
While God is God to me.
4 O that I had a stronger faith
To look within the veil,
To credit what my Saviour saith,
Whose word can never fail!
5 He that has made my heaven secure,
Will here all good provide:
While Christ is rich, can I be poor?
What can I want beside?
6 O Lord, I cast my care on Thee;
I triumph and adore:
Henceforth my great concern shall be
To love and please Thee more. Topics: The Christian Life Trust in Christ and Redemption; Advent, Fourth Sunday; Sundays in Lent Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN'S
O Lord, I would delight in Thee
Pleasant are Thy courts above
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Appears in 248 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Pleasant are Thy courts above,
In the land of light and love;
Pleasant are Thy courts below,
In this land of sin and woe.
O, my spirit longs and faints
For the converse of Thy saints,
For the brightness of Thy face,
For Thy fullness, God of grace!
2 Happy souls! their praises flow
Even in this vale of woe;
Waters in the desert rise,
Manna feeds them from the skies:
On they go from strength to strength,
Till they reach Thy throne at length,
At Thy feet adoring fall,
Who hast led them safe through all.
3 Lord, be mine this prize to win;
Guide me through a world of sin;
Keep me by Thy saving grace;
Give me at Thy side a place.
Sun and Shield alike Thou art;
Guide and guard my erring heart.
Grace and glory flow from Thee;
Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me! Topics: Worship Public Worship Used With Tune: HEWLETT
Pleasant are Thy courts above
Abide with me! fast falls the eventide
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Appears in 1,672 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide!
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me!
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me!
3 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free,
Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me.
4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing on Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea;
O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me!
5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile,
And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee:
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me!
6 I need Thy presence every passing hour:
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me!
7 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless:
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me!
8 Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes,
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies:
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Topics: Evening; Twenty Seventh Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
Abide with me! fast falls the eventide
To God the only wise
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 359 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To God the only wise,
Our Saviour and our King,
Let all the saints below the skies
Their humble praises bring.
2 'Tis His almighty Love,
His counsel, and His care,
Preserves us safe from sin and death,
And every hurtful snare.
3 He will present our souls,
Unblemished and complete
Before the glory of His face,
With joys divinely great.
4 Then all His faithful sons
Shall meet around the throne,
Shall bless the conduct of His grace,
And make His wonders known.
5 To our Redeemer God
Wisdom and power belongs,
Immortal crowns of majesty,
And everlasting songs. Topics: The Christian Life Trust in Christ and Redemption; Quinquagesima Sunday; Sundays in Lent; Easter Season, Second Sunday; Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: FRANCONIA
To God the only wise
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,304 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my All shalt be.
Perish every fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known;
Yet how rich is my condition!
God and heaven are still my own.
2 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest.
O, 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While Thy Love is left to me;
O, 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation;
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find in every station
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee:
What a Father's smile is thine;
What a Saviour died to win thee:
Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?
4 Haste thee on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heaven's eternal days before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Topics: The Christian Life Following Christ; Sunday after Christmas; Sundays in Lent; Passion Week Used With Tune: WELT ADE, ICH BEN DEIN MÜDE
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Jesus, and shall it ever be
Author: Joseph Grigg; Benjamin Francis Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,272 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of Thee?
Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine through endless days!
2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far
Let evening blush to own a star;
He sheds the beams of light divine
O'er this benighted soul of mine.
3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon
Let midnight be ashamed of noon:
'Tis midnight with my soul, till He,
Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee.
4 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend
On whom my hopes of heaven depend!
No; when I blush, be this my shame,
That I no more revere His Name.
5 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may,
When I've no guilt to wash away,
No tear to wipe, no good to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save.
6 Till then--nor is my boasting vain--
Till then I boast a Saviour slain!
And O, may this my glory be,
That Christ is not ashamed of me! Topics: The Christian Life Following Christ; Sunday after Christmas; Name of Christ; New Years Day; Sundays in Lent; Passion Week Used With Tune: BLENDON

Jesus, still lead on
Author: Jane Borthwick; Nicholas Louis, Count Zinzendorf Meter: 5.5.8 Appears in 289 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, still lead on,
Till our Rest be won!
And although the way be cheerless,
We will follow, calm and fearless.
Guide us by Thy hand
To our Fatherland!
2 If the way be drear,
If the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o'ertake us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For through many a foe
To our home we go!
3 When we seek relief
From a long-felt grief;
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring:
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more!
4 Jesus, still lead on,
Till our Rest be won;
Heavenly Leader, still direct us,
Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our Fatherland. Topics: The Christian Life Following Christ; Epiphany, Second Sunday; Sundays in Lent; Passion Week; Easter Season, Thrid Sunday; Easter Season, Fourth Sunday; Fifth Sunday after Trinity; Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: SEELENBRÄUTIGAM
Jesus, still lead on
Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings
Author: Robert Seagrave Meter: 7.6.7 Appears in 807 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings,
Thy better portion trace;
Rise from transitory things
Toward heaven, thy native place.
Sun, and moon, and stars decay;
Time shall soon this earth remove;
Rise, my soul, and haste away
To seats prepared above.
2 Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course;
Fire ascending seeks the sun;
Both speed them to their source:
So a soul that's born of God
Pants to view His glorious face;
Upward tends to His abode,
To rest in His embrace.
3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn,
Press onward to the prize;
Soon your Saviour will return,
Triumphant in the skies:
Yet a season, and you know
Happy entrance will be given;
All your sorrows left below,
And earth exchanged for heaven. Topics: The Christian Life The Heavenly Spirit; Easter Sunday Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM
Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings
