Jesus, the very thought of Thee

1. Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.

2. Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the memory find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,
O Saviour of mankind!

3. Oh, hope of every contrite heart,
Oh, joy of all the meek;
To those who fall, how kinds
Thou art,
How good to those who seek!

4.But what to those who find? Ah! this
Nor tongue nor pen can show;
The love of Jesus, what it is
None but His loved ones know.

5. Jesus, our only joy be Thou,
As Thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus, be Thou our glory now,
And through eternity.

Jesus, the Name high over all,

1.Jesus, the Name high over all,
In hell, or earth, or sky:
Angels and men before it fall,
And devils fear and fly.

2. Jesus, the Name to sinners dear.
The Name to sinners given;
It scatters all their guilty fear,
It turns their hell to heaven.

3. Jesus, the prisoner’s fetters breaks,
And bruises Satan’s head;
Power into strengthless souls it speak,
And life into the dead.

4.Oh, that the world might taste and see
The riches of His grace!
The arms of love that compass me
Would all mankind embrace.

5. His only righteousness I show,
His saving truth proclaim:
“Tis all my business here below
To cry, “Behold the Lamb!”

6. Happy, if with my last breath
I may but gasp His Name:
Preach Him to all, and cry in death;
Behold behold the Lamb!”

Jesus shall reign where’er the sun

1.Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Doth his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

2.For him shall endless prayer be made,
And princes throng to crown His head;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.

3. People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song:
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings of novi on His Name.

4. Blessings abound where’er He reigns;
The prisoner leaps toile ms lose his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.

5. Let every creature rise and bring.
Peculiar honours to our king:
Angels descend with songs again,
And Earth repeat the loud Amen!

Jesus Lover of my soul,

1.Jesus Lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly.
While the nearer water roll,
While the tempest still is high:
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life be 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 stayed,
All my help from Thee I bring
Cover my defenceless 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, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy Name,
I am all unrighteousness;
Vile, 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.

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,

1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious,
Thy great Name we praise.

2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting,
Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above,
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.

To all life Thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish, but naught changeth Thee.

4. Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render, oh, help us to see
Tis only the splendour of light hideth Thee.

5.Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise
