Oh, with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we, Oppressed with various ills, draw near : What if Thy Form we cannot see? We know and feel that Thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel ; For some are sick, and some are sad, And some have never loved Thee well, And some have lost the love they had; 8 4 And some have found the world is vain, Yet from the world they break not free; And some have friends who give them pain, Yet have not sought a friend in Thee; 5 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, 6 O Saviour Christ! Thou too art Man : I BENEATH the Cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, From the burning of the noon-tide heat, and the burden of the day. 2 O safe and happy shelter, O refuge tried and sweet, O trysting-place where Heaven's love, and Heaven's justice meet! So seems my Saviour's Cross, to me, a ladder up to Heaven. 3 There lies beneath its shadow, but on the further side, The darkness of an awful grave that gapes both deep and wide; 4 Upon that Cross of Jesus, mine eye at times can see 5 I take, O Cross, Thy shadow, for my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His Face! Amen ANON. 1 I Or, Hymns Ancient and Modern, 233. 2 5 6 Ye slaves of sin and hell, And safe in Jesus dwell, And blest in Jesus live. The year of Jubilee is come; Return, ye ransomed sinners, home. Ye, who have sold for nought Your heritage above, Shall have it back unbought. The gift of Jesus' love: The year of Jubilee is come; The news of heavenly Grace; Before your Saviour's Face : The year of Jubilee is come; Return, ye ransomed sinners, home. Amen. 11 Or, Hymns Ancient and Modern, 352. Church Hymns, 170. |
