Jesus! and shall it ever be

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #91 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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, bids 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 Savior slain; And oh, may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me!

Awake, my soul, in joyful lays

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #92 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, to joyful lays, And sing Thy great Redeemer’s praise, He justly claims a song from me-- His loving-kindness, O how free! 2 He saw me ruined in the fall, Yet loved me notwithstanding all, He saved me from my lost estate-- His loving-kindness, O how great! 3 When I was Satan's easy prey, And deep in debt and bondage lay, He paid His life for my discharge-- His loving-kindness, O how large! 4 Though numerous hosts of cruel foes, Though earth and hell my way oppose, He safely leads my soul along-- His loving-kindness, O how strong! 5 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thick and thundered loud, He near my soul has always stood-- His loving-kindness, O how good! 6 When earthly friends forsake me quite, And I have neither skill nor might, He's sure my Helper to appear-- His loving-kindness, O how near! 7 Often I feel my sinful heart Prone from my Jesus to depart; But though I have Him oft forgot, His loving-kindness changes not. 8 When I shall pass death's gloomy vale, And all my mortal power must fail; O may my last expiring breath His loving-kindness sing in death! 9 Then shall I mount and soar away To the bright world of endless day; And sing, with rapture and surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies.

In the cross of Christ I glory

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #95 (1918) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me: Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the cross the radiance streaming Adds more lustre to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #96 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary rest. 3 Dear name! the Rock on which I build, My Shield and Hiding-place; My never-failing Treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace. 4 By Thee my prayers acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled: Satan accuses me in vain, And I am owned a child. 5 Jesus! my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King, My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. 6 Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought; But when I see Thee as Thou art, I'll praise Thee as I ought. 7 Till then, I would Thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death.

Jesus, Thou art mine forever

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #97 (1918) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thou art mine forever, Dearer far than earth to me; Neither life nor death shall sever Those sweet ties which bind to Thee. 2 All were drear to me and lonely, If Thy presence gladdened not; While I sing to Thee-- Thee only, Mine’s an ever blissful lot. 3 Thou alone art all my Treasure, Who hast died that I might live, Thou conferrest noblest pleasure, Who dost all my sins forgive. 4 Brightest gems and fairest flowers Lose their beauty in Thy frown; Joy and peace, like balmy showers, In Thy smile come gently down. 5 Jesus, Thou art mine forever, Suffer not myself to stray; Let me in my weakness never Cast my priceless pearl away. 6 Lamb of God! I do implore Thee, Guard, support me, lest I fall; Let me evermore adore Thee, Be my everlasting All. Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

Jesus, the very thought of Thee

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #98 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of Thee With sweetness fills the breast; But sweeter far Thy face to see, And in Thy presence rest. 2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame, Nor can the memory find A sweeter sound than Thy blest name, O Savior of mankind! 3 O Hope of every contrite heart, O Joy of all the meek! To those who fall, how kind Thou art, How good to those who seek! 4 But what to those who find? Ah! this Nor tongue nor pen can show; The love of Jesus, what it is, None but His loved ones know. 5 Jesus, our only Joy be Thou! As Thou our Prize wilt be; Jesus, be Thou our Glory now, And through eternity! Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

Chief of sinners though I be

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #99 (1918) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners though I be, Jesus shed His blood for me; Died that I might live on high, Lived that I might never die; As the branch is to the vine, I am His, and He is mine. 2 O the height of Jesus' love! Higher than the heavens above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting as eternity; Love that found me,--wondrous thought!-- Found me when I sought Him not. 3 Jesus only can impart Balm to heal the smitten heart; Peace that flows from sin forgiven, Joy that lifts the soul to heaven; Faith and hope to walk with God, In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me; All my wants to Him are known, All my sorrows are His own; Safe with Him from earthly strife, He sustains the hidden life. 5 O my Savior, help afford By Thy Spirit and Thy Word! When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply, While I live, and when I die. Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English

Christ, whose glory fills the skies

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #100 (1918) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, and only Light, Sun of righteousness, arise, Triumph o’er the shades of night; Day-spring from on high, be near, Day-star, in my heart appear! 2 Dark and cheerless is the morn Unaccompanied by Thee; Joyless is the day’s return, Till Thy mercy’s beams I see; Till they inward light impart, Glad my eyes, and warm my heart. 3 Visit, then, this soul of mine, Pierce the gloom of sin and grief; Fill me, Radiancy divine, Scatter all my unbelief, More and more Thyself display, Shining to the perfect day.
