1. JESUS, my all, to heaven is gone,
He whom I fix my hopes upon;
His track I see, and I'll pursue
The narrow way till Him I view.
2. The way the holy prophets went,
The way that leads from banishment;
The King's highway of holiness,
I'll go, for all His paths are peace.
3. This is the way I long had sought,
And mourned because I found it not;
My grief a burden long had been,
Oppressed with unbelief and sin.
4. The more I strove against their power,
I sinned and stumbled but the more;
Till late I heard my Saviour say,
"Come hither, soul, I am the way."
5. Lo! glad I come, and Thou, blest Lamb,
Shalt take me to Thee, as I am:
Nothing but sin I Thee can give;
Nothing but love shall I receive.
6. Then will I tell to sinners round,
What a dear Saviour I have found;
I'll point to Thy redeeming blood,
And say,
"Behold the way to God."
1. HAIL, SOV'reign love, that form'd the plan
To save rebellious, ruin'd man.
Hail, matchless, free, eternal grace,
That gave my soul a hiding place.
2. Against the God that rules the sky
I fought, with weapons lifted high,
I madly ran the sinful race,
Regardless of a hiding-place.
3. Yet when God's justice rose in view,
To Sinai's burning mount I flew;
Keen were the pangs of my distress-
The mountain was no hiding-place.
4. But a celestial voice I heard,
A bleeding Saviour then appear'd,
Led by the Spirit of His grace-
I found in Him a hiding-place.
5. On Him the weight of vengeance fell,
That else had sunk a world to hell;
Then, O my soul, forever praise
Thy Saviour God, thy hiding-place.
1. My gracious Lord, I own Thy right
To every service I can pay,
And call it my supreme delight
To hear Thy dictates and obey.
What is my being, but for Thee,
Its sure support, its noblest end?
I live Thy smiling face to see,
And serve the cause of such a Friend.
3. I would not breathe for worldly joy,
Or to increase my worldly good;
Nor future days or powers employ
To spread a sounding name abroad.
4. 'Tis to my Saviour I would live;
To Him who for my ransom died;
Nor could the bowers of Eden give
Such bliss as blossoms at His side.
5. His work my hoary age shall bless,
When youthful vigor is no more;
last hour of life confess
my
His dying love's constraining power.
1. JESUS! Thy robe of righteousness
My beauty is, my glorious dress;
'Mid flaming worlds, in this arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2. When from the dust of death I rise,
To claim my mansion in the skies,
E'en then shall this be all my plea-
"Jesus hath lived and died for me."
3. This spotless robe the same appears,
When ruined nature sinks in years;
No age can change its lovely hue;
Its glory is forever new.
4. O let the dead now hear Thy voice;
Now bid Thy banished ones rejoice;
Their beauty this, their glorious dress-
Jesus, the Lord, our righteousness.
1. ALL hail! the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.
2. Crown Him, ye morning stars of light,
Who fix'd this floating ball;
Now hail the strength of Israel's might,
And crown Him Lord of all.
3. Crown Him, ye martyrs of our God,
Who from His altar call;
Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,
And crown Him Lord of all.
4. Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
Ye ransom'd from the fall,
Hail Him, who saves you by His
And crown Him Lord of all.
5. Hail Him, ye heirs of David's line,
Whom David, Lord, did call;
The God incarnate! Man divine!
And crown Him Lord of all.
6. Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall:
Go, spread your trophies at His feet,
And crown Him Lord of all.
7. Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all.
8. O that with yonder sacred throng,
We at His feet may fall;
We'll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all.
1. ARISE, my soul, my joyful powers,
And triumph in my God;
Awake, my voice, and loud proclaim
His glorious grace abroad.
2. He raised me from the deeps of sin,
The gates of gaping hell;
And fixed my standing more secure
Than 't was before I fell.
3. The arms of everlasting love
Beneath my soul He placed;
And on the Rock of Ages set
My slippery footsteps fast.
4. The city of my blest abode
Is walled around with grace;
Salvation for a bulwark stands
To shield the sacred place.
5. Satan may vent his sharpest spite,
And all his legions roar;
Almighty mercy guards my life,
And bounds his raging power.
6. Arise, my soul! awake, my voice!
And tunes of pleasure sing;
Loud hallelujahs shall address
My Saviour and my King.
1. THOU dear Redeemer, dying Lamb,
We love to hear of Thee;
No music's like Thy charming name,
Nor half so sweet can be.
2. O may we ever hear Thy voice,
In mercy to us speak;
And in our Priest we will rejoice,
Thou great Melchisedec.
3. Our Saviour shall be still our theme,
While in this world we stay;
We'll sing our Jesus' lovely name,
When all things else decay.
4. When we appear in yonder cloud,
With all the favored throng,
Then will we sing more sweet, more loud,
And Christ shall be our song.
1. WHEN God revealed His gracious name,
And changed my mournful state,
My rapture seemed a pleasing dream,
The grace appeared so great.
2. The world beheld the glorious change,
And did Thy hand confess;
My tongue broke out in unknown strains,
And sung surprising grace.
