Lord Jesus, think on me, and purge away my sin
O Perfect Life of Love
Author: Henry W. Baker, 1821-77 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Matching Instances: 10 First Line: O perfect life of love! Lyrics: 1 O perfect life of love!
All, all, is finished now,
All that He left His throne above
To do for us below.
2 No work is left undone
Of all the Father willed;
His toil, His sorrows, one by one,
The Scriptures have fulfilled.
3 No pain that we can share
But He has felt its smart;
All forms of human grief and care
Have pierced that tender heart.
4 And on His thorn-crowned head
And on His sinless soul
Our sins in all their guilt were laid
That he might make us whole.
5 In perfect love He dies;
For me He dies, for me.
O all atoning Sacrifice,
I cling by faith to Thee.
6 In ev'ry time of need,
Before the judgment throne,
Thy work, O Lamb of God, I'll plead,
Thy merits, not mine own.
7 Yet work, O Lord, in me
As Thou for me hast wrought;
And let my love the answer be
To grace Thy love has brought.

O Perfect Life of Love
Not All the Blood of Beasts
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 601 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts
On Israel's altars slain
Could give the guilty conscience peace
Or wash away the stain.
2 But Christ, the heav'nly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away,
A sacrifice of nobler name
And richer blood than they.
3 In faith I place my hand
On that dear head divine,
As penitently here I stand
And lay on him my sin.
4 My soul looks back to see
The burden you did bear
When hanging on the cursed tree--
I know my guilt was there!
5 Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice
And sing his bleeding love. Topics: Lent; Lent Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL
Not All the Blood of Beasts
Would Those Who Thirst For Blood
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15757 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Would those who thirst for blood,
Thy little flock devour?
Lord, change their hearts or check their rage,
By Thine almighty power.
2 When dangers compass round,
May Thine uplifted arm
Restrain or frustrate their designs,
Who seek to do us harm.
3 ’Midst savage beasts of prey,
Thou art our confidence;
From men more savage far than they,
Be Thou our sure defense.
4 To Thee, almighty God,
In all our straits we come;
Do Thou protect us in the way,
And bring us safely home. Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL
Would Those Who Thirst For Blood
Help, Lord, The Godly Fail!
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9841 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Help, Lord, the godly fail!
Help, Lord, the faithful flee!
And double hearts and tongues prevail
That taunt Thy saints and Thee.
2 With sophistries and lies
They cheat the simple soul,
Teach men Thy Gospel to despise,
And spurn Thy mild control.
3 But ah! there is a voice
In this dark growth of crimes,
That bids prophetic hearts rejoice
In hope of brighter times.
4 The Word these fools oppose
Can well their scoffs endure,
As silver from the furnace flows
More precious and more pure.
5 Their rage but sooner brings
The Lord to earth again;
And safe beneath almighty wings,
His Church shall rest till then. Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL
Help, Lord, The Godly Fail!
Out of the Deep I Call
Author: Henry W. Baker Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5457 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Out of the deep I call,
To Thee, O Lord, to Thee,
Before Thy throne of grace I fall;
Be merciful to me.
2. Out of the deep I cry,
The woeful deep of sin,
Of evil done in days gone by,
Of evil now within.
3. Out of the deep of fear
And dread of coming shame;
All night till morning watch is near
I plead the precious name.
4. Lord, there is mercy now,
As ever was, with Thee,
Before Thy throne of grace I bow;
Be merciful to me. Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL (Daman)
Out of the Deep I Call
Synesius of Cyrene, Bishop of Ptolemais
370 - 430 Person Name: Synesius of Cyrene Author of "Lord Jesus, Think on Me" in The Cyber Hymnal Synesius, a native of Cyrene, born circa 375. His descent was illustrious. His pedigree extended through seventeen centuries, and in the words of Gibbon, "could not be equalled in the history of mankind." He became distinguished for his eloquence and philosophy, and as a statesman and patriot he took a noble stand. When the Goths were threatening his country he went to the court of Arcadius, and for three years tried to rouse it to the dangers that were coming on the empire. But Gibbon says, ”The court of Arcadius indulged the zeal, applauded the eloquence, and neglected the advice of Synesius." In 410 he was made Bishop of Ptolemaïs, but much against his will. He died in 430. Synesius's opinions have been variously estimated. That he was imbued with the Neo-Platonic philosophy there is no doubt but that he was a semi-Christian, as alleged by Mosheim or that he denied the doctrine of the Resurrection as stated directly by Gibbon [see Decline and Fall, vol. ii.]; and indirectly by Bingham [see Christian Antiq., Lond., 1843, i., pp. 464-5] is very doubtful. Mr. Chatfield, who has translated his Odes in his Songs and Hymns of the Greek Christian Poets, 1876, contends that his tenth Ode "Lord Jesus, think on me," proves that he was not a semi-Christian, and that he held the doctrine of the Resurrection. The first is clear: but the second is open to doubt. He certainly prays to the Redeemer: but there is nothing in the hymn to shew that he looked upon the Redeemer as being clothed in His risen body. This tenth ode is the only Ode of Synesius, which has come into common use. The original Odes are found in the Anth. Graeca Carm. Christ, 1871, p. 2 seq., and Mr. Chatfield's trs. in his Songs, &c, 1876. Synesius's Odes have also been translation by Alan Stevenson, and included in his The Ten Hymns of Synesius, Bishop of Tyreore, A.D. 410 in English Verse. And some Occasional Pieces by Alan Stevenson, LL.B. Printed for Private Circulation, 1865.

Allen William Chatfield
1808 - 1896 Person Name: Allen W. Chatfield Translator (from Greek) of "Lord Jesus, Think on Me" in The Cyber Hymnal Chatfield, Allen William, M.A., born at Chatteris, Oct. 2nd, 1808, and educated at Charterhouse School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was Bell's Univ. Scholar and Members' Prizeman. He graduated in 1831, taking a first class in classical honours. Taking Holy Orders in 1832, he was from 1833 to 1847 Vicar of Stotfold, Bedfordshire; and since 1847 Vicar of Much-Marcle, Herefordshire. Mr. Chatfield has published various Sermons from time to time. His Litany, &c. [Prayer Book] in Greek verse is admirable, and has been commended by many eminent scholars. His Songs and Hymns of Earliest Greek Christian Poets, Bishops, and others, translated into English Verse, 1876, has not received the attention of hymnal compilers which it merits. One hymn therefrom, "Lord Jesu, think on me," is a specimen of others of equal merit, which might be adopted with advantage. He died Jan. 10, 1896.

William Daman
1540 - 1591 Composer of "SOUTHWELL (Daman)" in The Cyber Hymnal Aliases: Damon; Damano; Demaunde; Damond; Dymond
Born: ca.1540
Died: 1591
Damon was a foreign composer resident in England. He arrived probably in England in 1566 as a servant of Sir Thomas Sackville. In 1576 he became a recorder player at the Court of Elizabeth I.
He was described as having been born in "Luke" and "Lewklande" and, on the assumption that these names refer to Luik or Liège, it has been inferred that he was a Walloon. However contemporary London records describe him as an Italian and a later reference refers to him having been born in "Luke in Italy", i.e. Lucca. His unanglicised name may have been Gulielmo (or Gulielmus) Damano.
Daman died from the effects of an ulcer and was buried at St Peter-le-Poer, London, on 26 March 1591.
List of choral works:
Beati omnes qui timent Dominum
