All for Jesus!

Author: Mary D. James Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 247 hymnals Topics: Forsaking the World First Line: All for Jesus! All for Jesus! Lyrics: 1 All for Jesus! All for Jesus! All my being’s ransomed pow'rs: all my thoughts and words and doings, all my days and all my hours. 2 Let my hands perform his bidding, let my feet run in his ways; let my eyes see Jesus only, let my lips speak forth his praise. 3 Worldlings prize their gems of beauty, cling to gilded toys of dust, boast of wealth and fame and pleasure; only Jesus will I trust. 4 Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus, I’ve lost sight of all beside; so enchained my spirit’s vision, looking at the Crucified. 5 O what wonder! how amazing! Jesus, glorious King of kings, deigns to call me his beloved, lets me rest beneath His wings. Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 Used With Tune: WYCLIFF

In the Hour of Trial

Author: Rev. James Montgomery Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 487 hymnals Topics: Forsaking the World Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me; Lest by base denial I depart from Thee; When Thou seest me waver, With a look recall, Nor for fear or favor Suffer me to fall. 2 With forbidden pleasures Would this vain world charm, Or its sordid treasures Spread to work me harm, Bring to my remembrance Sad Gethsemane, Or, in darker semblance, Cross-crowned Calvary. 3 Should Thy mercy send me Sorrow, toil, and woe, Or should pain attend me On my path below, Grant that I may never Fail Thy hand to see; Grant that I may ever Cast my care on Thee. 4 When in dust and ashes To the grave I sink, When heaven's glory flashes O'er the shelving brink, On Thy truth relying, Through that mortal strife, Lord, receive me, dying, To eternal life. Used With Tune: PENITENCE

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,304 hymnals Topics: Forsaking the World Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, all to leave and follow thee; destitute, despised, forsaken, thou from hence my all shalt be. Perish ev'ry fond ambition, all I've sought or hoped or known; yet how rich is my condition, God and heav'n are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me, they have left my Savior too; human hearts and looks deceive me; thou art not, like man, untrue; and, while thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, foes may hate and friends may shun me; show thy face, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'twill but drive me to thy breast; life with trials hard may press me, heav'n will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me while thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, were that joy unmixed with thee. 4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation, rise o'er sin and fear and care; joy to find in ev'ry station something still to do or bear; think what Spirit dwells within thee, what a Father's smile is thine, what a Savior died to win thee: child of heav'n, shouldst thou repine? 5 Hasten on from grace to glory, armed by faith and winged by prayer; heav'n's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; hope soon change to glad fruition, faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Used With Tune: ELLESDIE

Am I a Soldier of the Cross?

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,941 hymnals Topics: Forsaking the World First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross 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 blood 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.

Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,304 hymnals Topics: Forsaking the World Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear cross appears; Dissolve, my heart, in thankfulness! And melt, my eyes, to tears! Used With Tune: AVON (MARTYRDOM)
