How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord
Author: Authorship doubtful Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #190c (1917) Topics: Presence, of Christ Of God Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say, than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed!
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee thy trials to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "E'en down to old age all My people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.
6 "The soul that on Jesus doth lean for repose,
I will not--I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!" Languages: English Tune Title: ADESTE FIDELES

Thou Shepherd of Israel divine
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #397 (1870) Topics: Presence of Christ Lyrics: 1 Thou Shepherd of Israel divine,
The joy and desire of my heart,
For closer communion I pine,
I long to reside where Thou art:
The pasture I languish to find
Where all, who their Shepherd obey,
Are fed, on Thy boson reclined,
And screen'd from the heat of the day.
2 Ah! show me that happiest place,
That place of Thy people's abode,
Where saints in an ecstasy gaze,
And hang on a crucified God!
Thy love for a sinner declare,
Thy passion and death on the tree;
My spirit to Calvary bear,
To suffer and triumph with Thee.
3 'Tis there with the lambs of Thy flock,
There only I covet to rest,
To lie at the foot of the Rock,
Or rise to be hid in Thy breast;
'Tis there I would always abide,
And never a moment depart;
Conceal'd in the cleft of Thy side,
Eternally held in Thy heart. Languages: English
Thou Shepherd of Israel divine
Oh, that I could forever dwell
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #399 (1870) Topics: Presence of Christ Lyrics: 1 Oh, that I could forever dwell,
Delighted at the Saviour’s feet;
Behold the form I love so well,
And all His tender words repeat!
2 The world shut out from all my soul,
And heaven brought in with all its bliss,
Oh! is there aught, from pole to pole,
One moment to compare with this?
3 This is the hidden life I prize--
A life of penitential love;
When most my follies I despise,
And raise my highest thoughts above;
4 When all I am I clearly see,
And freely own with deepest shame;
When the Redeemer's love to me
Kindles within a deathless flame.
5 Thus would I live till nature fail,
And all my former sins forsake;
Then rise to God within the veil,
And of eternal joys partake. Languages: English
Oh, that I could forever dwell
Far from my Tho'ts vain World be gone
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XV (1766) Topics: Presence of Christ in Worship Lyrics: 1 Far from my Tho'ts vain World be gone,
Let my religious Hours alone:
Fain would my Eyes my Saviour see,
I wait a Visit, Lord, from Thee.
2 My Heart grows warm with holy Fire,
And kindles with a pure Desire:
Come, my dear Jesus, from above,
And feed my Soul with heav'nly Love.
[3 The Trees of Life immortal stand,
In flour'shing Rows, at thy Right Hand,
And in sweet Murmurs, by their Side,
Rivers of Bliss perpetual glide.
4 Haste then, but with a smiling Face,
And spread the Table of thy Grace;
Bring down a Taste of Fruit divine,
And cheer my Heart with sacred Wine.
5 Blest Jesus, what delicious Fare!
How sweet thy Entertainments are!
Never did Angels taste above,
Redeeming Grace and dying Love.
6 Hail, great Immanuel, all divine,
In Thee thy Father's Glories shine;
Thou brightest, sweetest, fairest One,
That Eyes have seen, or Angels known. Languages: English

Author: Rev. Edward Hopper Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #444 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Presence of Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Savior, pilot me,
Over life's tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rocks and treacherous shoal;
Chart and compass come from Thee;
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
2 As a mother stills her child,
Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boisterous waves obey Thy will,
When Thou say'st to them, "Be still!"
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
3 When at last I near the shore,
And the fearful breakers roar
'Twixt me and the peaceful rest,
Then, while leaning on Thy breast,
May I hear Thee say to me,
"Fear not, I will pilot thee." Languages: English Tune Title: PILOT

safe through the darkness, for he is the Way.

Nor darkness, nor doubting, nor sin and its stain
can touch my salvation: with Jesus I reign.

The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.

to distant years in Palestine,
but saving, healing, here and now,
and touching ev'ry place and time.

Where color, scorn, or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hope has died.
4 Women and men, in age and youth,
can feel the Spirit, hear the call,
and find the Life, the Way, the Truth,
revealed in Jesus, freed for all.
5 Christ is alive, and comes to bring
good news to this and every age,
till earth and sky and ocean ring
with joy, with justice, love, and praise.
