Refrain:
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

I rest on his unchanging grace;
in every high and stormy gale
my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]

support me in the whelming flood;

dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Used With Tune: SOLID ROCK

My heart awaking cries,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
Alike at work and prayer
To Jesus I repair;
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
2 Whene'er the sweet church bell
Peals over hill and dell,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
O hark to what it sings,
As joyously it rings,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
3 When sleep her balm denies,
My silent spirit sighs,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
When evil thoughts molest,
With this I shield my breast,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
4 Does sadness fill my mind?
A solace here I find,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
Or fades my earthly bliss?
My comfort still is this,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
5 In heaven's eternal bliss
The loveliest strain is this,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
The powers of darkness fear
When this sweet chant they hear,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
6 To God, the Word, on high,
The host of angels cry,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
Let mortals, too, upraise
Their voice in hymns of praise;
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
7 Let earth's wide circle round
In joyful notes resound,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
Let air and sea and sky,
From depth to height, reply,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
8 Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
Be this the eternal song
Through all the ages on,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"

In agony and blood,
Who fixed His languid eyes on me,
As near His cross I stood.
2 O, never till my latest breath
Can I forget that look;
It seemed to charge me with His death,
Tho' not a word He spoke.
3 A second look He gave, which said,
"I freely all forgive;
This blood is for thy ransom paid,
I die that thou may'st live."
4 Thus while His death my sin displays
In all its blackest hue,
Such is the mystery of grace,
It seals my pardon too. Languages: English Tune Title: MANOAH

Bathurst Topics: Christ Character; Christ Character Author of "O, for a Faith that Will Not Shrink" in Favorite Hymns of Praise Bathurst, William Hiley , M.A., son of the Rt. Hon. Charles Bragge (afterwards Bathurst) some time M.P. for Bristol, born at Clevedale, near Bristol, Aug. 28, 1796, and educated at Winchester, and Christ Church, Oxford, graduating B.A. in 1818. From 1820 to 1852 he held the Rectory of Barwick-in-Elmet, near Leeds. Resigning the Rectory in the latter year, through his inability to reconcile his doctrinal views with the Book of Common Prayer, he retired into private life, and died at Lydney Park, Gloucestershire, Nov. 25, 1877. His works include, The Georgics of Virgil: Translated by W. H. B., 1849; Metrical Musings; or, Thoughts on Sacred Subjects in Verse, 1849; and Psalms and Hymns for Public and Private Use, 1831 (2nd ed. 1842). This last contains 141 versions of Psalms, and 206 hymns. All the latter, and many of the former are original. Of his hymns, those in most extensive use are, "Hark! the distant isles proclaim," "Holy Spirit from on high,” "Jesus, Thy Church with longing eyes,” "Eternal Spirit, by whose power," "O for a faith that will not shrink” and “O Saviour, may we never rest." In addition to these and a few others (all of which are annotated under their first lines), the following are in common use, but mainly in America:—
1. Before Thy cross, my dying Lord. Faith.
2. Before Thy mercy-seat, O Lord. Holy Scriptures.

All these hymns were given in his Psalms & Hymns , &c, 1831 (Preface dated November 15th, 1830), and repeated, without alteration, in the 2nd ed., 1842. They are characterized by simplicity of language, and directness of aim; but do not in any instance rise above the ordinary level of passable hymn-writing. In some American collections Bathurst's name is contracted to "Bath," and this is regarded either as a complete surname or as a Bath Collection. The contraction was given by Bickersteth in his Christian Psalmody, 1833.
