Way, truth, and life
Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Way, Truth, and Life First Line: There is no path to heavenly bliss Lyrics: 1 There is no path to heavenly bliss,
Or solid joy, or lasting peace,
But Christ th' appointed road;
O may we tread the sacred way,
By faith rejoice, and praise, and pray,
Till we sit down with God!
2 The types, and shadows of the word
Unite in Christ, the man, the Lord,
The Savior just and true;
O may we all his word believe,
And all his promises receive,
And all his precepts do.
3 As he above for ever lives,
And life to dying sinners gives,
Eternal and divine;
O may his spirit in me dwell,
Then sav'd from sin, and death, and hell,
Eternal life is mine.

"But not on man the storm shall fall,
"On me its thunder shall descend;
"My strength, my love sustain them all."
3 Stupendous favor! matchless grace!
Jesus has dy'd that we might live;

Could so divine a ransom give.

And for our lives laid down his own,
Let songs of joyful praises rise,
Sublime, eternal as his throne.

With which angelic bosoms glow!
Since angels love thee, I would love,
And imitate the bless'd above.

Thy sweet instructions I will hear:
The words that from thy lips proceed,
O how divinely sweet they are!
Thee my great prophet I would love,
And imitate the bless'd above.

Did once atone upon the cross;
Who now dost intercede with God,
And plead the friendless sinners cause:
In thee I trust; thee I would love,
And imitate the bless'd above.

A willing subject at thy feet;
All other Lords I disavow,
And to thy government submit:

And imitate th bless'd above.

Our Example
Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 195 hymnals Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Our Example First Line: And is the gospel peace and love? Lyrics: 1 And is the gospel, peace and love?
Such let our conversation be:
The serpent blended with the dove,
Wisdom and meek simplicity.
2 Whene'er the angry passions rise,
And tempt our thoughts or tongues to strife,
To Jesus let us lift our eyes,
Bright pattern of the Christian life!
3 O how benevolent and kind!
How mild! how ready to forgive!
Be this the temper of our mind,
And these the rules by which we live.
4 To do his heavenly Father's will,
Was his employment and delight;
Humility and holy zeal
Shone thro' his life divinely bright!
5 Dispensing good where'er he came,
The labors of his life were love;
O, if we love the Savior's name,
Let his divine example move.
6 But ah how blind! how weak we are!
How frail! how apt to turn aside!
Lord, we depend upon thy care,
And ask thy spirit for our guide.
7 Thy fair example may we trace,
To teach us what we ought to be;
Make us by thy transforming grace,
Dear Savior, daily more like thee.
Our Example
High-Priest
Author: Cennick Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ High Priest First Line: A good high-priest is come Lyrics: 1 A good high-priest is come,
Supplying Aaron's place,
And taking up his room,
Dispensing life and grace:
The law by Aaron's priesthood came,
But grace and truth by Jesus' name.
2 My Lord a priest is made,
As sware the mighty God,
To Israel and his seed,
Ordain'd to offer blood:
For sinners who his mercy seek,
A priest, as was Melchizedeck.
3 He once temptations knew,
Of every sort and kind,
That he might succour shew,
To every tempted mind:
In every point the lamb was try'd
Like us, and then for us, he dy'd.
4 He dies, but lives again,
And by the altar stands;
There shews how he was slain,
Op'ning His pierced hands.
Our priest abides, and pleads the cause
Of us who have transgress'd his laws.
5 I other priests disclaim,
And laws and offerings too,
None but the bleeding lamb
The mighty work can do:
He shall have all the praise, for he
Hath lov'd, and liv'd, and dy'd for me.
High-Priest

Whose blood for us was shed,
Thro' whom we out of Egypt came;
Thy ransom'd people lead.
2 Angel of gospel-grace!
Fulfil thy character,
To guard and feed the chosen race,
In Israel's camp appear.
3 Throughout the desert-way
Conduct us by the light,
Be thou a cooling cloud by day,
A cheering fire by night.
4 Our fainting souls sustain
With blessings from above,
And ever on thy people rain
The manna of thy love.

The Marriage between Christ and the soul
Author: Fawcett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Bridegroom and Husband First Line: Jesus the heavenly lover gave Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the heavenly lover gave
His life, my wretched soul to save;
Resolv'd to make his mercy known,
He kindly claims me for his own.
2 Rebellious, I against him strove
'Till melted and constrain'd by love;
With sin and self I freely part,
The heavenly bridegroom wins my heart.
3 My guilt, my wretchedness he knows,
Yet takes and owns me for his spouse;
My debts he pays, and sets me free,
And makes his riches o'er to me.
4 My filthy rags are laid aside,
He clothes me as becomes his bride;
Himself bestows my wedding-dress,
The robe of perfect righteousness.
5 Lost in astonishment, I see,
Jesus, thy boundless love to me;
With angels I thy grace adore,
And long to love and praise thee more.
6 Since thou wilt take me for thy bride,
O keep me, savior, near thy side;
I fain would give thee all my heart,
Nor ever from the Lord depart.
The Marriage between Christ and the soul
Phisician of Souls
Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 165 hymnals Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Physician of Souls First Line: Deep are the wounds which sin has made Lyrics: 1 Deep are the wounds which sin hath made
Where shall the sinner find a cure?
In vain, alas, is nature's aid,
The work exceeds all nature's power.
2 Sin like a raging fever, reigns,
With fatal strength in every part;
The dire contagion fills the veins,
And spreads its poison to the heart.
3 And can no sovereign balm be found?
And is no kind phisician nigh
To ease the pain, and heal the wound,
Ere life and hope for ever fly?
4 There is a great phisician near,
Look up, O fainting soul, and live;
See, in his heavenly smiles appear
Such ease as nature cannot give!
5 See in the Savior's dying blood
Life, health, and bliss, abundant flow!
'Tis only this dear, sacred flood
Can ease thy pain and heal thy woe.
6 Sin throws in vain its pointed dart,
For here a sovereign Cure is found;
A cordial for a fainting heart,
A balm for every painful wound. Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22
Phisician of Souls
Jesus - precious to them that believe
Author: Dr. Doddridge Appears in 546 hymnals Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Jesus First Line: Jesus, I love thy charming name Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I love thy charming name,
'Tis music to my ear;
Fain would I sound it out so loud
That earth and Heaven might hear.
2 Yes thou art precious to my soul,
My transport and my trust,
Jewels to thee are gaudy toys,
And gold is sordid dust.
3 All my capacious powers can wish
In thee doth richly meet;
Not to my eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet.
4 Thy grace shall dwell upon my heart,
And shed its fragrance there;
The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care.
5 I'll speak the honors of thy name,
With my last laboring breath;
And dying, clasp thee in my arms,
The antidote of death. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:7
Jesus - precious to them that believe
