Christ precious
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,621 hymnals Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: How sweet the name of Jesus sounds Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.
3 By him, my pray'rs acceptance gain,
Although with sin defil'd;
Satan accuses me in vain,
And I am own'd a child.
4 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
5 Till then, I would thy love proclaim,
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:7
Christ precious
Forsake, my soul! the tents of sin
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces Lyrics: 1 Forsake, my soul! the tents of sin,
How false her joys appear!
Noise and confusion dwell within;
Peace is a stranger there.
2 The men, who keep the laws of God,
His choicest blessings share;
Or, if he lifts his chast'ning rod,
'Tis with a Father's care.
3 His mighty pow'r shall guard the just;
His wisdom point their way;
His eye shall watch their sleeping dust;
His hand revive their clay.
4 Begin, ye saints, the joyful task;
His praise employ your tongue;
And soon eternity will ask
A more exalted song.
Forsake, my soul! the tents of sin
Behold he prayeth
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 849 hymnals Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: Pray'r is the soul's sincere desire Lyrics: 1 Pray'r is the soul's sincere desire,
Utter'd or unexpress'd,
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
2 Pray'r is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear;
The upward glancing of an eye,
When none but God is near.
3 Pray'r is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try;
Pray'r the sublimest strains that reach
The majesty on high.
4 Pray'r is the christian's vital breath,
The christian's native air,
His watchword at the gate of death--
He enters heav'n with pray'r.
5 Pray'r is the contrite sinners' voice
Returning from his ways,
While angels in their songs rejoice
And say,--"Behold he prays." Scripture: Acts 9:11
Behold he prayeth
My faith looks up to thee
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #246 (1845) Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary;
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away,
Oh let me from this day,
Be wholly thine.
2 May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As thou hast died for me,
Oh may my love to thee,
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A burning fire.
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray,
From thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream,
Shall o'er me roll,
Bless'd Savior, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh! bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul. Languages: English
My faith looks up to thee
Prayer for divine Guidance
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #270 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: O God of Jacob, by whose hand Lyrics: 1 O God of Jacob, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who, through this weary pilgrimage,
Hast all our fathers led!
2 To thee our humble vows we raise,
To thee address our prayer;
And in thy kind and faithful breast
Deposit all our care.
3 Through each perplexing path of life,
Our wand'ring footsteps guide;
Give us by day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
4 O! spread thy cov'ring wings around,
Till all our wand'rings cease;
And at our fathers' lov'd abode
Our souls arrive in peace!
5 To thee, as to our cov'nant God,
We'll our whole selves resign;
And thankful own, that all we are,
And all we have, are thine. Languages: English

Not ashamed of Christ
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #254 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: Jesus! and shall it ever be Lyrics: 1 Jesus! and shall it ever be,
A mortal man asham'd of thee!
Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine through endless days!
2 Asham'd of Jesus! sooner far
Let evening blush to own a star;
He sheds the beams of light divine
O'er this benighted soul of mine.
3 Asham'd of Jesus! just as soon
Let midnight be asham'd of noon:
'Tis midnight with my soul, till he,
Bright Morning Star! bid darkness flee.
4 Asham'd of Jesus! that dear friend,
On whom my hopes of heaven depend!
No; when I blush--be this my shame,
That I no more revere his name.
5 Asham'd of Jesus! yes, I may,
When I've no guilt to wash away,
No tear to wipe, no good to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save.
6 Till then--nor is my boasting vain--
Till then I boast a Savior slain!
And O, may this my glory be,
That Christ is not asham'd of me! Languages: English
