Jesus, the only Thought of thee

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the only Thought of thee With Sweetness fills my Breast; But sweeter far it is to see, And in thy Beauty feast, 2 No Sound, no Harmony so gay, Can Art of Music frame; No Thoughts can reach, no Words can say The Sweets of thy blest Name. 3 Jesus our Hope, when we repent, Sweet Source of all our Grace; Sole Comfort in our Banishment, O! what, when Face to Face! 4 Jesus! that Name inspires my Mind With Springs of Life and Light; More than I ask in thee I find, And lavish in Delight. 5 No Art, or Eloquence of Man, Can tell the Joys of Love; Only the Saints can understand What they in Jesus prove. 6 Thee then I'll seek retir'd apart, From World and Business free; When these shall knock I'll shut my Heart, And keep it all for thee. 7 Before the Morning Light I'll come, With Magdalene to find In Sighs and Tears, my Jesu's Tomb, And there refresh my Mind. 8 My Tears upon his Grave shall flow, My Sighs the Garden fill; Then at his Feet myself I'll throw, And there I'll seek his Will. 9 Jesus, in thy bless'd Steps I'll tread, And walk in all thy Ways: I'll never cease to weep and plead, Till I'm restor'd to Grace. 10 O King of Love, thy blessed Fire Does such sweet Flames excite; That first it raises our Desire, Then fill us with Delight. 11 Thy lovely Presence shines so clear Thro' ev'ry Sense and Way, That Souls which once have seen thee near, See all Things else decay. 12 Come then dear Lord, possess my Heart, Chase thence the Shades of Night; Come pierce it with thy flaming Dart, And ever-shining Light. 13 Then I'll for ever Jesus sing, And with the Saints rejoice; And both my Heart and Tongue shall bring Their Tribute to my dearest King, In never-ending Joys. Amen.

Alas my God that thou should be

Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God, that thou should be To me so much unknown! I long to walk and talk with Thee, And dwell before thy Throne. 2 Thou know'st, my Soul doth dearly love The Place of thine Abode; No Music gives so sweet a sound, As these two Words, My God. 3 I long not for the Fruit that grows Within these Gardens here; I find no Sweetness in their Rose When Jesus is not near. 4 Thy gracious Presence, O my Christ, Can make a Paradise; Ah, what are all the goodly Pearls, Unto this Pearl of Price? 5 Give me that sweet Communion, Lord, Thy people have with thee; Thy Spirit daily talks with Them, O let it talk with me. 6 Like Enoch let me walk with God, And thus walk out my Day, Attended with the heav'nly Guards, Upon the Kings High Way. 7 When wilt thou come unto me, Lord? O come, my Lord, most dear; Come near, come nearer nearer still; I'm well when thou art near. 8 When wilt thou come unto me, Lord? I languish for thy Sight; Ten thousand Suns, if thou art strange, Are Shades instead of Light. 9 When wilt thou come unto me Lord? for till thou dost appear, I count each Moment for a Day, Each Minute for a Year. 10 Come, Lord, and never from me go, This World's a darksom Place; I find no Pleasure here below, When thou dost veil thy Face. 11 There's no such Thing as Pleasure here, My Jesus is my all; As thou dost shine, or disappear, My pleasures rise and fall. 12 Come, spread thy Savour on my Frame, No Sweetness is so sweet; Till I get up to sing thy Name, Where all thy Singers meet.

Christ the Believer's Refuge and Portion

Appears in 3,220 hymnals Topics: Longing after Christ First Line: Jesu, Lover of my Soul Lyrics: 1 Jesu, Lover of my Soul, Let me to thy Bosom fly, While the nearer Waters roll, While the Tempest still is high: Hide me, oh, my Sav'our, hide, Till the Storm of Life is past; Safe into the Haven guide, Oh, receive my Soul at last! 2 Other Refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless Soul on thee, Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and Comfort me; All my Trust on thee is stay'd, All my Help from thee I bring, Cover my defenseless Head With the Shadow of thy Wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in thee I find; Raise the Fallen, chear the Faint, Heal the Sick, and lead the Blind. Just and Holy is thy Name, I am all Unrighteousness! False and full of Sin I am, Thou art full of Truth and Grace. 4 Plenteous Grace with thee is found, Grace to Pardon all my Sin; Let the healing Streams abound; Make and keep me pure within; Thou of Life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of thee; Spring thou up within my Heart, Rise to all Eternity.

The witnessing Power

When wilt thou banish my Complaints, And shew my Sins forgiv'n? 3 Assure my Conscience of her Part In the Redeemer's Blood And bear thy Witness with my Heart, That I am born of GOD. 4 Thou art the earnest of his Love, The Pledge of Joys to come; And thy blest Wings, celestial Dove, Safely convey me Home.
