My Jesus I Love Thee lyrics

My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

I love Thee because Thou has first loved me
And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

I'll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

In mansions of glory and endless delight
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less lyrics

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus' Name.

Chorus:
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.

Chorus:
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand.

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my Hope and Stay.

Chorus:
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand.

When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Chorus:
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand.

My Faith Looks Up To Thee lyrics

My faith looks up to Thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary, Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray, take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day be wholly Thine!

May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart, my zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee,
Pure warm, and changeless be, a living fire!

While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread, be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray from Thee aside.

When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold sullen stream over me roll;
Blest Savior, then in love, fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above, a ransomed soul.

My Anchor Holds lyrics

Though the angry surges roll
On my tempest driven soul,
I am peaceful, for I know,
Wildly though the winds may blow,
I've an anchor safe and sure,
That can evermore endure.

Refrain:
And it holds, my anchor holds:
Blow your wildest, then, O gale,
On my bark so small and frail;
By His grace I shall not fail,
For my anchor holds, my anchor holds.

Mighty tides about me sweep,
Perils lurk within the deep,
Angry clouds o’ershade the sky,
And the tempest rises high;
Still I stand the tempest’s shock,
For my anchor grips the rock.

Refrain:
And it holds, my anchor holds:
Blow your wildest, then, O gale,
On my bark so small and frail;
By His grace I shall not fail,
For my anchor holds, my anchor holds.

I can feel the anchor fast
As I meet each sudden blast,
And the cable, though unseen,
Bears the heavy strain between;
Through the storm I safely ride,
Till the turning of the tide.

Refrain:
And it holds, my anchor holds:
Blow your wildest, then, O gale,
On my bark so small and frail;
By His grace I shall not fail,
For my anchor holds, my anchor holds.

Troubles almost 'whelm the soul;
Griefs like billows o'er me roll;
Tempters seek to lure astray;
Storms obscure the light of day:
But in Christ I can be bold,
I’ve an anchor that shall hold.

Refrain:
And it holds, my anchor holds:
Blow your wildest, then, O gale,
On my bark so small and frail;
By His grace I shall not fail,
For my anchor holds, my anchor holds.

Must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone lyrics

Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for everyone
And there's a cross for me.

How happy are the saints above
Who once went sorrowing here!
But now they taste unmingled love
And joy without a tear.

The consecrated cross I'll bear
Till death shall set me free
And then go home my crown to wear
For there's a crown for me.

Upon the crystal pavement down
At Jesus' pierced feet
Joyful I'll cast my golden crown
And His dear Name repeat.

O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
When Christ the Lord from Heav'n comes down
And bears my soul away.

One these morning, soon one morning
I'm gonna lay down my cross, get me a crown
Soon one evening, late in the evening
Late in the evening, I'm going home live on high.

Soon as my feet strike Zion
Lay down my heavy burdens

Going home one day and tell my story.

Gonna drink from the Christian Fountain.

Will drink that old healing water.
And we gonna live on forever, we gonna live on forever
We gonna live on up in glory afterwhile.

March all around God's altar
Walk and never get tired
Fly Lord and never falter.

Gonna meet old man Daniel
Gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet the Hebrew children
Gonna move on up a little higher
Meet Paul and Silas.
Gonna meet my friends and kindred
Gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet my loving mother
I'm gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet the Lily of the valley
I'm gonna feast with the Rose of Sharon.

It will be always howdy, howdy
It will be always howdy howdy and never goodbye.

Oh will you be there early one morning?
Will you be there somewhere round the altar?
Will you be there oh when the angels shall call the roll?
God knows I'll be waiting.
Yes, I'll be watching somewhere on the altar
Well, I'll be waiting, oh at the beautiful golden gate
Well well soon as my feet strike Zion
Gonna lay down my heavy burden.
I'm going to put on my robe in glory
I've been coming over the hills and mountains
Gonna drink from the Christian Fountain
You know all God's sons and daughters that mornin'
Will drink that old healing water.

Meet me there somewhere on the altar
Meet me there oh when the angels shall call the roll.

Mighty Fortress Is Our God lyrics

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same
And He must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also
The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still
His kingdom is forever.

May Jesus Christ Be Praised lyrics

When morning gilds the skies my heart awaking cries
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and prayer, to Jesus I repair
May Jesus Christ be praised!

When you begin the day, O never fail to say
May Jesus Christ be praised!
And at your work rejoice, to sing with heart and voice
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Whene'er the sweet church bell peals over hill and dell
May Jesus Christ be praised!
O hark to what it sings, as joyously it rings
May Jesus Christ be praised!

My tongue shall never tire of chanting with the choir
May Jesus Christ be praised!
This song of sacred joy, it never seems to cloy
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Does sadness fill my mind? A solace here I find
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this
May Jesus Christ be praised!

To God, the Word, on high, the host of angels cry
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let mortals, too, upraise their voice in hymns of praise
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Be this at meals your grace, in every time and place
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this, when day is past, of all your thoughts the last
May Jesus Christ be praised!

When mirth for music longs, this is my song of songs
May Jesus Christ be praised!
When evening shadows fall, this rings my curfew call
May Jesus Christ be praised!

When sleep her balm denies, my silent spirit sighs
May Jesus Christ be praised!
When evil thoughts molest, with this I shield my breast
May Jesus Christ be praised!

The night becomes as day when from the heart we say
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The powers of darkness fear when this sweet chant they hear
May Jesus Christ be praised!

No lovelier antiphon in all high Heav'n is known
Than, Jesus Christ be praised!
There to the eternal Word the eternal psalm is heard
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Let all the earth around ring joyous with the sound
May Jesus Christ be praised!
In Heaven's eternal bliss the loveliest strain is this
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Sing, suns and stars of space, sing, ye that see His face
Sing, Jesus Christ be praised!
God's whole creation o'er, for aye and evermore
Shall Jesus Christ be praised!

In Heav'n's eternal bliss the loveliest strain is this
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let earth, and sea and sky from depth to height reply
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Be this, while life is mine, my canticle divine
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Sing this eternal song through all the ages long
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Master, the tempest is raging!
The billows are tossing high!

No shelter or help is nigh;
Carest Thou not that we perish?
How canst Thou lie asleep,
When each moment so madly is threatening
A grave in the angry deep?

They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, be still! Peace, be still!
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, peace, be still!

Master, with anguish of spirit
I bow in my grief today;
The depths of my sad heart are troubled
Oh, waken and save, I pray!
Torrents of sin and of anguish
Sweep o'er my sinking soul;
And I perish! I perish! dear Master
Oh, hasten, and take control.

Peace, be still!

They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, be still! Peace, be still!
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will,
Peace, peace, be still!

Master, the terror is over,
The elements sweetly rest;
Earth's sun in the calm lake is mirrored,
And heaven's within my breast;
Linger, O blessed Redeemer!
Leave me alone no more;
And with joy I shall make the blest harbor,
And rest on the blissful shore.

Refrain:

Peace, be still!

Mansion Over The Hilltop lyrics

I'm satisfied with just a cottage below
A little silver and a little gold;
But in that city where the ransomed will shine
I want a gold one that's silver-lined.

Refrain:
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old;
And someday yonder we will never more wander
But walk the streets that are purest gold.

Tho' often tempted, tormented and tested
And, like the prophet, my pillow a stone;
And tho' I find here no permanent dwelling
I know He'll give me a mansion my own.

Refrain:
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old;
And someday yonder we will never more wander
But walk the streets that are purest gold.

Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely
I'm not discouraged, I'm heaven bound;
I'm just a pilgrim in search of a city
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown.

In that bright land where we'll never grow old;
And someday yonder we will never more wander

Man of Sorrows! what a name
For the Son of God, who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim

In my place condemned He stood;
Sealed my pardon with His blood

Spotless Lamb of God was He;
"Full atonement!" can it be?

"It is finished!" was His cry;

All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew His song we'll sing:

Make Me A Captive Lord lyrics

Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free
Force me to render up my sword, and I shall conqueror be
I sink in life's alarms when by myself I stand
Imprison me within Thine arms, and strong shall be my hand.

My heart is weak and poor until it master find
It has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind
It cannot freely move till Thou has wrought its chain
Enslave it with Thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign.

My power is faint and low till I have learned to serve
It lacks the needed fire to glow, it lacks the breeze to nerve
It cannot drive the world until itself be driven
Its flag can only be unfurled when Thou shalt breathe from heaven

My will is not my own till Thou hast made it Thine
If it would reach a monarch's throne, it must its crown resign
It only stands unbent amid the clashing strife
When on Thy bosom it has leant, and found in Thee its life.

Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned lyrics

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Savior's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow,
His lips with grace o'erflow.

To Christ, the Lord, let every tongue
Its noblest tribute bring
When He's the subject of the song,
Who can refuse to sing?
Who can refuse to sing?

Survey the beauties of His face,
And on His glories dwell;
Think of the wonders of His grace,
And all His triumphs tell,
And all His triumphs tell.

No mortal can with Him compare
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is He than all the fair
Who fill the heav'nly train,
Who fill the heav'nly train.

He saw me plunged in deep distress
And flew to my relief;
For me He bore the shameful cross
And carried all my grief,
And carried all my grief.

His hand a thousand blessings pours
Upon my guilty head:
His presence gilds my darkest hours,
And guards my sleeping bed,
And guards my sleeping bed.

To Him I owe my life and breath
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death
And saves me from the grave,
And saves me from the grave.

To Heav'n, the place of His abode,
He brings my weary feet;
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joys complete,
And makes my joys complete.

Since from His bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be Thine,
Lord, they should all be Thine.
