The name "Jesus"
Author: Anne Steele Appears in 276 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: The Saviour! oh, what endless charms Lyrics: 1 The Saviour! oh, what endless charms
Dwell in the blissful sound!
Its influence every fear disarms,
And spreads sweet comfort round.
The almighty Former of the skies
Stooped to our vile abode;
While angels viewed with wondering eyes
And hailed the incarnate God.
2 Oh, the rich depths of love divine!
Of bliss a boundless store!
Dear Saviour, let me call thee mine;
I cannot wish for more.
On thee alone my hope relies,
Beneath thy cross I fall;
My Lord, my Life, my Sacrifice,
My Saviour, and my All! Scripture: Psalm 3:8 Used With Tune: ATHENS

The Perfect Pattern
Author: John Newton Appears in 225 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Let worldly minds the world pursue Lyrics: 1 Let worldly minds the world pursue,
It has no charms for me;
Once I admired its trifles too,
But grace has set me free.
As by the light of opening day,
The stars are all concealed;
So earthly pleasures fade away,
When Jesus is revealed.
2 Creatures no more divide my choice,
I bid them all depart;
His name, and love, and gracious voice.
Have fixed my roving heart.
But may I hope that thou wilt own
A worthless worm like me?
Now, Lord! I would be thine alone,
And wholly live to thee. Scripture: Psalm 16:8 Used With Tune: VOC DILECTI

That Truth to keep, that Life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow. Scripture: John 14:6 Used With Tune: GRIGG

I read my duty in thy word;

Such deference to thy Father's will,
Such love, and meekness so divine,
I would transcribe and make them mine.
3 Cold mountains and the midnight air
Witnessed the fervor of thy prayer;
The desert thy temptations knew,
Thy conflict and thy victory too.
4 Be thou my pattern; make me bear
More of thy gracious image here;
Then God, the Judge, shall own my name
Among the followers of the Lamb. Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM (MASON'S)

"Shall we forget"
Author: William Mitchell Hymnal: Laudes Domini #157 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: Jesus! thy love shall we forget Lyrics: 1 Jesus! thy love shall we forget,
And never bring to mind
The grace that paid our hopeless debt,
And bade us pardon find?
2 Shall we thy life of grief forget,
Thy fasting and thy prayer;
Thy locks with mountain vapors wet,
To save us from despair?
3 Gethsemane can we forget
Thy struggling agony
When night lay dark on Olivet,
And none to watch with thee?
4 Our sorrows and our sins were laid
On thee, alone on thee;
Thy precious blood our ransom paid--
Thine all the glory be!
5 Life's brightest joys we may forget
Our kindred cease to love;
But he who paid our hopeless debt,
Our constancy shall prove. Languages: English

Richard Redhead
1820 - 1901 Person Name: R. Redhead Topics: Christ Character of Composer of "NOMEN JESU" in Laudes Domini Richard Redhead (b. Harrow, Middlesex, England, 1820; d. Hellingley, Sussex, England, 1901) was a chorister at Magdalen College, Oxford. At age nineteen he was invited to become organist at Margaret Chapel (later All Saints Church), London. Greatly influencing the musical tradition of the church, he remained in that position for twenty-five years as organist and an excellent trainer of the boys' choirs. Redhead and the church's rector, Frederick Oakeley, were strongly committed to the Oxford Movement, which favored the introduction of Roman elements into Anglican worship. Together they produced the first Anglican plainsong psalter, Laudes Diurnae (1843). Redhead spent the latter part of his career as organist at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Paddington (1864-1894).
