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.
