See How Great a Flame Aspires

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 109 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 See how great a flame aspires, kindled by a spark of grace. Jesus’ love the nations fires, sets the kingdoms on a blaze. To bring fire on earth he came, kindled in some hearts it is; O that all might catch the flame, all partake the glorious bliss! 2 When he first the work begun, small and feeble was his day; now the Word doth swiftly run, now it wins its widening way; more and more it spreads and grows, ever mighty to prevail; sin’s strongholds it now o’erthrows, shakes the trembling gates of hell. 3 Saints of God, your Savior praise, who the door hath opened wide; he hath given the word of grace, Jesus’ word is glorified; Jesus mighty to redeem, who alone the work hath wrought; worthy is the work of him, him who spake a world from naught. 4 Saw ye not the cloud arise, little as a human hand? Now it spreads along the skies, hangs o’er all the thirsty land. Lo! the promise of a shower drops already from above; but the Lord will shortly pour all the spirit of his love.

Hail, O Once-Despised Jesus

Author: John Bakewell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 624 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Hail, O once-despised Jesus! Hail, O Galilean King! You have suffered to release us, hope and joy and peace to bring. Hail, O agonizing Savior, bearer of our sin and shame; by your merits we find favor; life is given through your name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, all our sins on you were laid; by almighty love anointed, you have full atonement made. All your people are forgiven through the virtue of your blood; opened is the gate of heaven; we are reconciled to God. 3 Jesus! Heavenly hosts adore you, seated at your Father's side. Crucified this world once saw you; now in glory you abide. There for sinners you are pleading, and our place you now prepare, ever for us interceding, till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing you are worthy to receive; loudest praises, without ceasing, right it is for us to give. Help, O bright angelic spirits, all your noblest anthems raise; help to sing our Savior's merits, help to chant Immanuel's praise.

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me

Author: Edward Hopper Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1,173 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Savior, pilot me Over life's tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rock and treach'rous shoal; Chart and compass came from Thee: Jesus, Savior, pilot me. 2 As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boisterous waves obey thy will When thou say'st to them, "Be still!" Wondrous Sov'reign of the sea, Jesus, Savior, pilot me. 3 When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar 'Twixt me and the peaceful rest, Then, while leaning on Thy breast, May I hear Thee say to me, "Fear not, I will pilot thee." Amen. Topics: Christ Guide; Christ Refuge; Pilgrimage, Christian Scripture: Isaiah 41:10 Used With Tune: ARFON
