All my trust on thee is stayed; Needful help, O Jesus bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of thy wing!
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.
Just and holy is thy name,
Prince of peace and righteousness; Most unworthy, Lord, I am; Thou art full of truth and grace.
JESUS, my all in all thou art;
My rest in toil, my ease in pain; The med'cine of my broken heart; In war my peace, in loss my gain.
In want, my plentiful supply; In weakness, my almighty power; In bonds, my perfect liberty; My light in Satan's darkest hour.
No! never will I cease to bless; Since, in thy name, to me are given— Light and salvation, life and peace, Favor on earth, and bliss in heaven.
JESUS, crucified for me,
I have life divine in thee; Peace and happiness are mine, Hid in thee, for I am thine.
Christ t'obey, and Christ to know, Constitute my bliss below:
Christ to see, and praise, and love, Shall complete my bliss above. May I walk with thee in joy, Then into thy presence die; Life divine I thus shall prove ; Ever with my Lord above.
THE Saviour! O what endless charms
Dwell in the blissful sound!
A name that every fear disarms, And makes our joys abound. From Jesus, pardon, life divine, Peace and salvation flow To rebels, guilty, sunk in sin, Deserving endless woe.
O the rich depths of love divine; The heights of love in store; To be the Lord's!-to call him mine!- What can I wish for more ?
High to thy throne my hopes arise;
Low at thy cross I fall;
My sin-atoning sacrifice,
My Priest, my King, my All.
HOW shall we our Saviour set forth?
Or how all his beauties declare ? O how shall we speak of his worth ; Or what his chief dignities are?
His angels can never express,
Nor saints who bow nearest his throne, How deep are his treasures of grace,- How widely his goodness is known. In him all the fulness of God Does gloriously bodily shine; Though once the "Self-emptied" he stood, To finish God's gracious design.
Though once he was nailed to the cross, Vile rebels like us to set free;
His grace far transcended the curse; Redeemed ones his glory shall be.
ALL my immortal hopes are laid
In Christ, my Surety and my Head; His cross, his cradle, and his throne, Are big with glories yet unknown.
Lord, may my soul for ever lie, Beneath the blessings of thine eye; 'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above, To see thy face and taste thy love,
LOVE to Christ who died, can give Sweetest pleasures while we live ;
Love of Christ to us, supply Comfort when we come to die. After death these loves will be Lasting as eternity!-
Be the living Lord our friend, Then our bliss shall never end.
JESUS, all-atoning Lamb,
Thine, by purchase dear, I am : Body, spirit, heart, and soul, All thine own,-possess the whole. Fairer than the sons of men, Shall I turn from thee again? Leave the fountain-head of bliss, Stoop to creature happiness! Whom have I on earth below? Thee, and only thee, I'll know : Whom have I in heaven but thee? Jesus!"all in all" to me.
All my treasure is above; All my pleasure is thy lov; All my hope to see thy face; All my bliss to sound thy praise.
WORTHY is He who once was slain; The Prince of peace that groaned and Worthy to rise, and live, and reign, [died; At his Almighty Father's side.
Power and dominion are his due, Who stood condemned at Pilate's bar; Wisdom belongs to Jesus too,
Though he was charged with madness here. Honour immortal must be paid,
Instead of scandal and of scorn; While glory shines around his head, A heavenly crown, without a thorn. Blessings for ever on the Lamb, Who bore the curse for wretched man! Let angels sound his sacred name, And every creature say-Amen!
TO us a child is born;
To us a Son is given :
All government his shoulders bear; All power in earth and heaven.
His name, the Wonderful; The Counsel for our case;
The Father of th' eternal age; Th' almighty Prince of peace, Of his extended rule
And peace, no end shall be; 'Stablished on David's throne, shall he; Hold just and endless sway.
UR highest honours we would raise, To Christ the Holy One of God; And bring the sacrifice of praise, To him who washed us in his blood.
