Hymn. Christ our Day-star. 1 WHEN, marshall'd on the mighty plain, The glitt'ring host bestud the sky, One star alone of all the train Can fire the sinner's wond'ring eye. 2 Hark! hark! to GOD the chorus breaks 3 Once on the raging seas I rode, The storm was loud, the night was dark, The ocean yawn'd, and rudely blow'd The wind that toss'd my found'ring bark. 4 JESUS, my star, my guide, my all, 5 Now safely moor'd, my perils o'er, Hymn. Christ our Captain and Guide. 1 CAPTAIN of Israel's host, and Guide Of all who seek the land above, Beneath thy shadow we abide, The cloud of Thy protecting love: Our strength Thy grace, our rule Thy Word, Our end the glory of the LORD. N 2 By Thy unerring SPIRIT led, We shall not in the desert stray; Hymn. Christ our only Saviour. 1 JESUS, the spring of joys divine, Whence all our hopes and comfort flow; JESUS, no other Name but Thine Can save us from eternal woe. 2 In vain would boasting reason find 3 No other Name will heaven approve : 4 Here let our constant feet abide, Nor from the heavenly path depart; O let Thy SPIRIT, gracious Guide, Direct our steps, and cheer our heart! 5 Safe lead us through this world of night, Hymn. Christ our Friend indeed. 1 ONE there is, above all others, prove, 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, 3 When He lived on earth abased, 4 Could we bear from one another He accounts us brethren still. 5 Oh! for grace our hearts to soften! What a Friend we have above: Hymn. Christ our Friend indeed. 1 POOR, weak, and worthless though I am, 2 He ransom'd me from hell with blood, And by His power my foes controll'd; He found me wand'ring far from GOD, And brought me to His chosen fold. 3 He cheers my heart, my wants supplies, 4 But ah! my inmost spirit mourns, 5 Often my gracious Friend I grieve, Neglect, distrust, and disobey; And often Satan's lies believe, Sooner than all my Friend can say. 6 Sure were I not thus vile and base, Hymn. Christ our Way to the Father. 1 JESUS, my all, to heaven is gone, 2 The way the holy prophets went, 3 This is the Way I long have sought, 4 The more I strove against it's power, 5 Lo! glad I come; and Thou, blest LAMB, Shalt take me to Thee as I am: My sinful self to Thee I give; 6 Then will I tell to sinners round say, "BEHOLD THE WAY TO GOD!" |
