mp A calm and undisturbed repose, 2 Asleep in Jesus! O how sweet To be for such a slumber meet, mf With holy confidence to sing That death hath lost his venomed sting! m 3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest, mp 4 Asleep in Jesus! O for me m 32 5 Asleep in Jesus! time nor space ? 6 Asleep in Jesus! far from thee m m 1 AT even, ere the sun was set, mp mf The sick, O Lord, around thee lay; m 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. mp 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel : For some are sick, and some are sad, 4 And some are pressed with worldly care, 5 And some have found the world is vain, Yet have not sought a friend in thee; 6 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, m 7 O Saviour Christ, thou too art Man; d Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried: Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide; m 8 Thy touch has still its ancient power; No word from thee can fruitless fall: Hear in this solemn evening hour, с And in thy mercy heal us all. 33 m 1 WHERE high the heavenly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great High Priest our nature wears, The Guardian of mankind appears. mp 2 He, who for men their Surety stood, And poured on earth his precious blood, mf Pursues in heaven his mighty plan, The Saviour and the Friend of man. mp 3 Though now ascended up on high, 4 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains 5 In every pang that rends the heart mf 6 With boldness, therefore, at the throne 34 mp 1 TAKE up thy cross, the Saviour said, If thou wouldst my disciple be, m Deny thyself, the world forsake, 2 Take up thy cross; let not its weight And brace thy heart, and nerve thine arm. mp 3 Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame, m 4 Take up thy cross then in his strength, mf 5 Take up thy cross, and follow Christ, May hope to wear the glorious crown. 135 Sec pase 395 p 1 'Twas on that night when doomed to know That night in which he was betrayed, mp 2 And, after thanks and glory given m 3 My broken body thus I give For you, for all; take, eat, and live; That brings my wondrous love to view.' 4 Then in his hands the cup he raised, 5' My blood I thus pour forth,' he cries, 6 In this the covenant is sealed, And Heaven's eternal grace revealed. mf 6 With love to man this cup is fraught; 36 mp 1 BEHOLD a Stranger at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long, is waiting still: You treat no other friend so ill. m 2 O lovely attitude! he stands mf With melting heart and laden hands; 3 Admit him, for the human breast |
