O Jesu, Saviour of the lost
Author: Bp. E. H. Bickersteth Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 65 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 O Jesu, Saviour of the lost,
My rock and hiding place,
By storms of sin and sorrow tost,
I seek Thy sheltering grace.
2 Guilty, forgive me, Lord, I cry;
Pursued by foes I come;
A sinner, save me, or I die;
An outcast, take me home.
3 Once safe in Thine almighty arms,
Let storms come on amain;
There danger never, never harms;
There death itself is gain.
4 And when I stand before Thy throne,
And all Thy glories see,
Still be my righteousness alone
To hide myself in Thee.
Amen.

For Ever We Would Gaze on Thee
Author: Allen W. Chatfield Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. For ever we would gaze on Thee,
O Lord, upon the Mount;
With Moses and Elias see
That light from light’s own fount;
2. For ever with the chosen three
Would stand upon that height,
And in that blessèd company
Be plunged in pure delight.
3. For ever would we train the ear
To that celestial Voice;
In Thee, the Son of God, so near
For evermore rejoice.
4. Here would we pitch our constant tent,
For ever here abide;
And dwell in peace and full content,
Dear Master, at Thy side.
5. But no! not yet to man ’tis given
To rest upon that height;
’Tis but a passing glimpse of Heav’n;
We must descend and fight.
6. Beneath the mount is toil and pain;
O Christ, Thy strength impart;
Till we, transfigured, too, shall reign
For ever where Thou art. Used With Tune: SEMPER ASPECTEMUS

Hail Father, Whose Creating Call
Author: Samuel Wesley, Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Hail, Father, whose creating call Lyrics: 1. Hail, Father, whose creating call
Unnumbered worlds attend;
Jehovah, comprehending all,
Whom none can comprehend!
2. In light unsearchable enthroned,
Whom angels dimly see,
The fountain of the Godhead owned,
And foremost of the Three.
3. From Thee, through an eternal now,
The Son, Thine offspring, flowed;
An everlasting father Thou,
An everlasting God.
4. Nor quite displayed to worlds above,
Nor quite on earth concealed;
By wondrous, unexhausted love,
To mortal man revealed.
5. Supreme and all-sufficient God,
When nature shall expire,
And worlds created by Thy nod
Shall perish by Thy fire.
6. Thy name, Jehovah, be adored
By creatures without end,
Whom none but Thy essential Word
And Spirit comprehend. Used With Tune: SEMPER ASPECTEMUS Text Sources: Poems on Several Occasions, 1736
Hail Father, Whose Creating Call
Am I a soldier of the cross
Author: I. Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,938 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.
5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer, though they die;
They view the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thine armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine.
