ESUS calls us, o'er the tumult
Of our life's wild restless sea;
Day by day his sweet voice soundeth,
Saying," Christian, follow me."
2 Jesus calls us from the worship
Of the vain world's golden store;
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, "Christian, love me more."
3 In our joys, and in our sorrows,
Days of toil, and hours of ease;
Still He calls, in cares and pleasures,
Christian, love me more than these."
4 Jesus calls us-by Thy mercies,
Saviour, may we hear Thy call,
Give our hearts to Thy obedience,
Serve and love Thee best of all.
ESUS Christ is risen to day,
Our triumphant holy day;
P. Who did once upon the cross
Suffer to redeem our loss. Hallelujah!
2 Hymns of praise, then, let us sing
Unto Christ our heavenly King;
Who endur'd the cross and grave,
Sinners to redeem and save. Hallelujah!
3 By the pains which He endur'd,
Our salvation He procur'd;
Now above the sky He's King,
Where the angels ever sing. Hallelujah!
87 JESUS! exalted far on high!
To whom a name is giv'n,
A name surpassing every name
That's nam'd in earth or heav'n;
2 Before whose throne shall ev'ry knee
Bow down with one accord;
Before whose throne shall ev'ry tongue
Confess that Thou art Lord;
3 Jesus! who in the form of God
Didst equal honour claim;
Yet, to redeem our guilty souls,
Didst stoop to death and shame;
4 Oh, may that mind be form'd in us
Which shone so bright in Thee;
May we be humble, lowly, meek,
From pride and envy free:
5 May we to others stoop, and learn
To emulate Thy love;
So shall we bear Thine image here,
And share Thy throne above.
88 JESUS, refuge of my soul,
Let me to Thy shelter fly,
While the billows near me roll;
While the tempest still is high;
Hide me, O my Saviour, 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, oh, leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me.
Thou, O Christ, art all I want,
Boundless love in Thee I find;
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
89 JEDth his successive journeys run:
ESUS shall reign where'er the sun
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 To him shall endless prayer be made, And princes throng to crown His head; His name like sweet perfume shall rise With ev'ry morning sacrifice.
3 People and realms of every tongue,
Dwell on His love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name.
4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns;
The pris'ner leaps free from his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
ESUS, in Thy blest name we meet,
To worship at Thy mercy-seat;
We seek Thee while Thou mayst be found,
Oh may Thy grace to us abound.
2 Great Shepherd of Thy chosen few,
Thy former mercies here renew;
Here to our waiting hearts proclaim
The glories of Thy saving name.
3 Here may we prove the power of prayer
To strengthen faith, and sweeten care;
To teach our faint desires to rise,
And bring all heav'n before our eyes.
4 Lord, we are weak, but Thou art near,
Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear:
Oh, rend the heav'ns, come quickly down,
And make each waiting heart Thine own
The matchless glories of Thy name;
But, Lord, accept the praise I bring,
My Priest, my Prophet, and my King!
2 My Priest, to offer by Thy blood
A sacrifice for sin to God;
To intercede for me above,
To gain for me the Father's love.
3 My Prophet, by Thy Spirit's might,
To fill my darken'd soul with light.
My King, to conquer reigning sin,
Subdue my heart, and reign within,
4 My Lord, be Thou all this to me,
From sin and darkness set me free.
Plead Thou my cause before the throne,
And me-Thy child-Thy purchase-own.
92 Thus thy saints recall to mind;
L
Hear us, bless us, from above;
Let us all Thy mercy find.
AMB of God, whose dying love
2 Let Thy blood, to us applied,
Ev'ry sinner's pardon seal;
All in Thee be justified,
Ev'ry soul Thy comfort feel
3 By Thine agony of pain,
By Thy precious blood, we pray,
Cleanse our hearts from ev'ry stain;
Take our load of guilt away.
4 Burst our bonds and set us free;
Bid our fear and sorrow cease;
Oh, remember Calvary!
Saviour! bid us go in peace.
93 LIGHT of those whose dreary dwelling
Borders on the shades of death!
8. 7. Rise on us, Thyself revealing,
Rise and chase the clouds beneath.
2 Thou of life and light Creator!
In our deepest darkness rise;
Scatter all the night of nature;
Pour the day upon our eyes.
3 Still we wait for Thine appearing;
Life and joy Thy beams impart;
Chasing all our fears, and cheering
Ev'ry meek and contrite heart.
4 By Thine all-sufficient merit,
Ev'ry burden'd soul release;
By the leading of Thy Spirit,
Guide unto Thy perfect peace.
O! He comes with clouds descending, Once for favour'd sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending, Swell the triumph of His train; Hallelujah!
Jesus comes, and comes to reign.
2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold Him
Rob'd in dreadful majesty;
They who set at nought and sold Him,
Pierc'd and nail'd Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.
3 Now redemption, long expected
See, in solemn pomp appear!
All His saints, by man rejected,
Rise to meet Him in the air:
Hallelujah!
See the day of God appear!
4 Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne:
Saviour, take Thy power and glory,
Claim the kingdoms for Thine own
Oh, come quickly!
Hallelujah! come, Lord, come.
95 Lo! He comes with pomp victorious;
Where's the man of sorrows now? See His train all bright and glorious! Ev'ry knee to Him shall bow.
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crowns become the Victor's brow.
2 Sinners, in derision, crown'd Him,
Mocking thus the Saviour's claim.
Saints and angels now surround Him,
Own His title, praise His name.
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Spread abroad the Victor's fame.
