Sitting at Jesus Feet

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #256 (1845) Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: Sweet the moments, rich in blessing Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross I spend; Life, and health, and peace possessing, From the sinner's dying Friend: 2 Love and grief my heart dividing, With my tears his feet I'll bathe; Constant still in faith abiding, Life deriving from his death. 3 Truly blessed is this station-- Low before his cross I'll lie; While I see divine compassion Floating in his languid eye; 4 Here I'll sit--forever viewing Mercy streaming in his blood: Precious drops, my soul bedewing, Please and calm my peace with God.

Living to Christ

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #260 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: Let thoughtless thousands choose the road Lyrics: 1 Let thoughtless thousands choose the road That leads the soul away from God; This happiness, dear Lord, be mine, To live and die entirely thine. 2 On Christ by faith my soul would live, From him, my life, my all receive; To him devote my fleeting hours, Serve him alone with all my pow'rs. 3 Christ is my everlasting all, To him I look, on him I call; He will my ev'ry want supply, In time and through eternity. 4 Soon will the Lord, my life, appear; Soon shall I end my trials here; Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain To live is Christ--to die is gain. 5 Soon will the saints in glory meet; Soon walk through ev'ry golden street, And sing on ev'ry blissful plain, To live is Christ--to die is gain.

And I am thine by sacred ties, Thy Child and servant, bought with blood. 3 With heart and eyes and lifted hands, For thee I long, for thee I look, As travellers in thirsty lands Pant for the cooling water-brook. 4 E'en life itself, without thy love, No lasting pleasure can afford: Yea, 'twould but a tiresome burden prove, If I were banish'd from thee, Lord. 5 I'll lift my hands, I'll raise my voice, While I have breath to pray or praise. This work shall make my heart rejoice, Throughout the remnant of my days. Languages: English

Thou art my shield, my hiding-place, My hope is in thy word. 6 Thou hast inclin'd this heart of mine Thy statutes to fulfil; And thus till mortal life shall end Would I perform thy will.

Will he reject the filial pray'r, Or mock him with a cake of stone? 4 Our heav'nly Father, how much more Will thy divine compassions rise; And open thy unbounded store, To satisfy thy children's cries? 5 Yes, we will ask, and seek, and press For gracious audience at thy seat; Still hoping, waiting for success, If persevering to entreat. 6 For Jesus in his faithful word The upright supplicant has blest; And all thy saints with one accord The prevalence of pray'r attest.

On him I fix my roving eyes, Till all thy soul in rapture rise. 6 All else which I my treasure call, May in one fatal moment fall: But what his happiness can move, Whom God the blessed deigns to love?
