What a friend we have in Jesus

Author: J. M. Scriven (1819-1886) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,692 hymnals Topics: Christ the Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear; what a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer. 2 Have we trials and temptations, is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged: take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness — take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, burdened with a load of care? Jesus is our mighty saviour: he will listen to our prayer. Do your friends despise, forsake you? take it to the Lord in prayer; in his arms he will enfold you and his love will shield you there. Used With Tune: BLAENWERN

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,462 hymnals Topics: Christ Receives Sinners Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love, and power; He is able, He is able, He is willing: doubt no more. 2 Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness He requireth Is to feel your need of Him; This he gives you; This he gives you; 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam. 3 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, Lost and ruined by the fall; If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all. Not the righteous, Not the righteous, Sinners, Jesus came to call. 4 View Him prostrate in the garden, Lo! your Maker prostrate lies; On the bloody tree behold Him; Hear Him cry before He dies: "It is finished!" "It is finished!" Sinner, will not this suffice? 5 Lo! th' incarnate God ascended Pleads the merit of His blood; Venture on Him, venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude: None but Jesus, None but Jesus, Can do helpless sinners good. Used With Tune: RESIGNATION

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Author: J. Newton (1725-1807) Appears in 1,621 hymnals Topics: Christ the Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear! it soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds, and drives away our fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; it satisfies the hungry soul, and gives the weary rest. 3 Dear name, the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding-place; my never-failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace! 4 Jesus, my shepherd, guardian, friend, my prophet, priest and king, my Lord, my life, my way, my end — accept the praise I bring. 5 Weak is the effort of my heart, and cold my warmest thought; but when I see you as you are, I'll praise you as I ought. 6 Till then I would your love proclaim with every fleeting breath; and may the music of your name refresh my soul in death. Used With Tune: RACHEL

Depth of mercy! can there be

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 811 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Can my God his wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare? 2 I have long withstood his grace, Long provoked him to his face, Would not hearken to his calls, Grieved him by a thousand falls. 3 Now incline me to repent; Let me now my sins lament; Now my foul revolt deplore, Weep, believe, and sin no more. 4 There for me the Saviour stands, Shows his wounds and spreads his hands; God is love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps, and loves me still. Used With Tune: ALLETTA
