Lord Jesus! when we stand afar
Author: Bishop W. W. How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 97 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus! when we stand afar,
And gaze upon Thy holy cross,
In love of Thee, and scorn of self,
Oh, may we count the world as loss!
2 When we behold Thy bleeding wounds,
And the rough way that Thou hast trod,
Make us to hate the load of sin
That lay so heavy on our God.
3 O holy Lord, uplifted high,
With outstretched arms, in mortal woe
Embracing in Thy wondrous love
The sinful world that lies below;
4 Give us an ever-living faith
To gaze beyond the things we see:
And in the mystery of Thy death
Draw us and all men unto Thee.
Amen.

Lord Jesus! when we stand afar
He Sat to Watch o'er Customs Paid
Author: William Bright Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. He sat to watch o’er customs paid,
A man of scorned and hard’ning trade;
Alike the symbol and the tool
Of foreign masters’ hated rule.
2. But grace within his breast had stirred;
There needed but the timely word;
It came, true Lord of souls! from Thee,
That royal summons, Follow Me.
3. Enough, when Thou wert passing by
To hear Thy voice, to meet Thine eye;
He rose, responsive to the call,
And left his task, his gains, his all.
4. O wise exchange! with these to part
And lay up treasure in Thy heart;
With twofold crown of light to shine
Amid Thy servants’ foremost line!
5. Come, Savior, as in days of old;
Pass where the world has strongest hold,
And faithless care and selfish greed
Are thorns that choke the holy seed.
6. Who keep Thy gifts, O bid them claim
The steward’s, not the owner’s name;
Who yield all up for Thy dear sake,
Let them of Matthew’s wealth partake. Used With Tune: GLOUCESTER Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1889

Look Down upon Us, God of Grace
Author: Arthur J. Mason Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Look down upon us, God of grace,
And send from Thy most holy place
The quickening Spirit all divine,
On us and on this bread and wine.
2. O may His overshadowing
Make now for us this bread we bring
The body of Thy Son our Lord,
This cup His blood for sinners poured.
