As Near the Wished for Port We Draw
Author: Charles E. York Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. As near the wished for port we draw
We lift our hearts in praise to Thee,
Almighty Father, loving Lord,
Our Pilot on the troubled sea.
2. By Thy good care in peace we come,
From fire and foe securely kept,
And after tempest, at Thy word,
The waves have laid them down and slept.
3. As Thou hast giv’n us outward calm,
So, Lord, within us may there be
A peace divine, a peace in Him,
Through whom alone we live to Thee.
4. Give us more light, direct our course,
Cleanse us from guile, our hearts renew;
Let not dark clouds of sin shut out
The star of Jesus from our view.
5. And then, our long life voyage o’er,
And past the perils of the sea,
Receive us on the blissful shore,
To everlasting rest with Thee.
6. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom Heav’n and earth adore,
Be glory as it was of old,
Is now, and shall be evermore. Used With Tune: MELCOMBE Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1889

To strengthen him with might divine.

By holy lives be glorified,
While here Thy peace shall still abide. Used With Tune: MELCOMBE
O Risen Christ
What Shall the Dying Sinner Do?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 107 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: What shall the dying sinner do Lyrics: 1. What shall the dying sinner do
That seeks relief for all his woe?
Where shall the guilty conscience find
Ease for the torment of the mind?
2. How shall we get our crimes forgiv’n?
Or form our natures fit for Heav’n?
Can souls all o’er defiled with sin
Make their own powers and passions clean?
3. In vain we search, in vain we try,
Till Jesus brings His Gospel nigh;
’Tis there such power and glory dwell
As save rebellious souls from hell.
4. This is the pillar of our hope
That bears our fainting spirits up:
We read the grace, we trust the Word,
And find salvation in the Lord.
5. Let men or angels dig the mines,
Where nature’s golden treasure shines;
Brought near the doctrine of the cross,
All nature’s gold appears but dross.
6. Should vile blasphemers with disdain
Pronounce the truths of Jesus vain,
I’ll meet the scandal and the shame,
And sing and triumph in His name. Used With Tune: MELCOMBE Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Book I, 1707, number 34

O, love, how deep, how broad, how high
Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O, love, how deep, how broad, how high,
How passing thought and fantasy,
That God, the Son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortals' sake!
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
His holy fast, and hungered sore,
For us temptations sharp he knew,
For us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us to wicked men betrayed,
Scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed;
For us he bore the cross's death,
For us at length gave up his breath.
4 For us he rose from death again,
For us he went on high to reign,
For us he sent his Spirit here
To guide, to strengthen and to cheer.
5 All honor, laud, and glory be,
O Jesus, virgin-born, to thee;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost, for evermore.
Amen.

As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of Thy hands;
Thy judgments are a mighty deep.

Whence all our hope and comfort spring!
The sons of Adam in distress
Fly to the shadow of Thy wing.

Springs from the presence of the Lord;

The glories promised in Thy word. Topics: His Goodness and Love; God His Goodness and love Used With Tune: [High in the heavens, eternal God]

We sing the praise of Him who died
Author: T. Kelly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of Him who died,
Of Him who died upon the cross;
The sinner's hope let all deride,
For this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
In shining letters, God is love;
He bears our sins upon the tree,
He brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross, it takes our guilt away,
It holds the fainting spirit up,
It cheers with hope the gloomy day,
And sweetens every bitter cup.
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
And nerves the feeble arm for fight,
It takes its terror from the grave,
And gilds the bed of death with light.
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
The measure and the pledge of love,
The sinner's refuge here below,
The angels' theme in heaven above. Topics: The Church Year Twentieth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twentieth Sunday after Trinity; Atonement Used With Tune: [We sing the praise of Him who died]

Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
Author: Nicolaus Ludwig, Count von Zinzendorf; John Wesley Appears in 499 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 When from the dust of death I rise
To take my mansion in the skies,
E'en then shall this be all my plea—
"Jesus hath lived, hath died for me."
3 Bold shall I stand in that great day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully, through Thee, absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
4 This spotless robe the same appears
When ruined nature sinks in years;
No age can change its glorious hue,
The robe of Christ is ever new.
5 And when the dead shall hear Thy voice,
Thy banished children shall rejoice;
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesus, the Lord our righteousness. Topics: The Catechism Justification; First Sunday after Easter; Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: NAZARETH (Melcombe)
