Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,216 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and God Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high: hide me, O my Savior, hide, 'til the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on thee; leave, ah! leave me not alone, still support and comfort me! All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find: raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name; I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within: thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity. Scripture: Psalm 57:1 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Here, O My Lord, I See You Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 314 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and God Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see you face to face, here would I touch and handle things unseen, here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, and all my weariness upon you lean. 2 Here I will feed upon the bread of God, here drink with you the royal wine of heaven; here I will lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heavenly table for me spread; here let me feast, and feasting, still prolong the fellowship of living wine and bread. 4 Too soon we rise, the symbols disappear. The feast, though not the love, is past and gone: the bread and wine remove, but you are here, nearer than ever, still my shield and sun. 5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 266 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and God Lyrics: 1 How sweet and awesome is the place with Christ within the doors, while everlasting love displays the choicest of her stores. 2 While all our hearts and all our songs join to admire the feast, each of us cries, with thankful tongue, "Lord, why was I a guest? 3 "Why was I made to hear your voice, and enter while there's room, when thousands make a wretched choice, and rather starve than come?" 4 'Twas the same love that spread the feast that sweetly drew us in; else we had still refused to taste, and perished in our sin. 5 Pity the nations, O our God, constrain the earth to come; send your victorious Word abroad, and bring the strangers home. 6 We long to see your churches full, that all the chosen race may, with one voice and heart and soul, sing your redeeming grace.
