Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
2 May every heart confess thy name,
And ever thee adore;
And seeking thee, itself inflame
To seek thee more and more.
3 Thee may our tongues for ever bless,
Thee may we love alone;
And ever in our lives express
The image of thine own.
245 C. M.
Rise, Lord, let thine enemies be scattered.
Num. 10:35.
Jesus, immortal King! arise,
Assert thy rightful sway,
Till earth, subdued, its tribute brings,
And distant lands obey.
2 Ride forth, victorious Conqueror! ride,
Till all thy foes submit,
And all the powers of hell resign
Their trophies at thy feet.
3 Send forth thy word, and let it fly
The spacious earth around,
Till every soul beneath the sun
Shall hear the joyful sound.
4 From sea to sea, from shore to shore,
May Jesus be adored!
And earth, with all her millions, shout
Hosannas to the Lord.
246 C. M.
The shadow of a great rock, etc.
Isaiah 32:2.
He who on earth as man was known,
And bore our sins and pains,
Now seated on th’ eternal throne,
The Lord of glory reigns.
2 His hands the wheels of nature guide
With sure, unerring skill,
And countless worlds, extended wide,
Obey his sovereign will.
3 While harps unnumbered sound his praise
In yonder worlds above,
His saints on earth admire his ways,
And glory in his love.
4 This land through which his pilgrims go,
Is desolate and dry;
But streams of grace from him o’erflow,
Their thirst to satisfy.
5 When troubles, like a burning sun,
Beat heavy on their head,
To this high Rock for rest they run,
And find a pleasing shade.
6 How glorious he, how happy they
In such a generous friend,
Whose love secures them all the way,
And crowns them at the end.
247 C. M.
Ye are complete in him.
Col. 2:10.
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear;
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear!
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
’Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary rest.
3 By thee my prayers acceptance gain,
Although with sin defiled;
Satan accuses me in vain,
And I am owned a child.
4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see thee as thou art,
I’ll praise thee as I ought.
6 Till then, I would thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death!
