1 I’ve found a friend in Jesus,—He’s everything to me

All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole
In sorrow He’s my comfort, in

SS&S 105 Jesus, Thou Refuge of the soul,
1 Jesus, Thou Refuge of the soul,
To Thy dear arms I flee;
From Satan’s wiles, from self and sin,
Oh, make and keep me free.
2 Though clouds may rise, though tempests rage,
Thou wilt my shelter be, [true,
While with a steadfast heart and
My trust is stayed on Thee.
3 No power on earth, or power below,
Can tear me from Thy side,
If ‘neath Thy sheltering wings of love,
Dear Refuge, I abide.
4 Not death itself, that last dread foe,
Can hold me with his chain;
Through Christ, who conquered
And life eternal gain, [death, I rise,
106 Dear Refuge of my weary soul,
1 Dear Refuge of my weary soul,
On Thee, when sorrows rise.
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll,
My fainting hope relies.
2 To Thee I tell each rising grief,
For Thou alone canst heal;
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel.
3 But oh, when gloomy doubts prevail,
I fear to call Thee mine;
The springs of comfort seem to fail,
And all my hopes decline.
4 Yet, gracious God, where shad I flee ?
Thou art my only trust ; [Thee,
And still my soul would cleave to
Though prostrate in the dust.

Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend Thy will,
And wait beneath Thy feet.

In mercy to us speak !
And in our Priest we will rejoice,
Thou great Melchisedek.
3 Our Jesus shall be still our theme
While in the world we stay;
We’ll sing our Jesus—lovely name !
When all things else decay.

With all the ransomed throng,
Then will we sing more sweet, more
And Christ shall be our song, [loud,
SS&S 108 There is no name so sweet on earth
1 There is no name so sweet on earth,
No name so sweet in heaven;
The name before His wondrous birth,
To Christ the Saviour given.
We love to sing of Christ our King,
And hail Him blessed Jesus
For there’s no word ear ever heard
So dear, so sweet as “Jesus !”
2 And when He hung upon the tree,
They wrote this name above Him;
That all might see the reason we
For evermore must love Him.
3 So now, upon His Father’s throne-
Almighty to release us
From sin and pains—He ever reigns
The Prince and Saviour, Jesus.

Thy grace shall fail us never;
To-day as yesterday the same,
Thou art the same for ever!
SS&S 109 Rest of the weary, joy of the sad
1 Rest of the weary, joy of the sad;
Hope of the dreary, light of the glad;
Home of the stranger, strength to the end;
Refuge from danger, Saviour and Friend.

Peace of the dying, life of the dead;
Path of the lowly, prize at the end;
Breath of the holy, Saviour and Friend.
3 When my feet stumble, to Thee I’ll cry,
Crown of the humble, cross of the high
When my steps wander, over me bend,
Truer and fonder, Saviour and Friend.
4 Ever confessing Thee, I will raise
Unto Thee blessing, glory, and praise;
All my endeavour, world without end,
Thine to be ever, Saviour and Friend.

Look away to the cross of the Cruci-fied One,

And a welcome that all may receive;
There is room at the cross of the Crucified One,
And redemption for all who believe.

Save in the death of Christ my God:
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down !
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown ?

Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Takes all our sins away;

They nailed my Lord upon the tree—
And there He died in agony,
On Calvary, dark Calvary.

Behold the world’s great tragedy;
The sun that awful hour did flee
From Calvary, dark Calvary.

The sinner’s only hope and plea,
Christ gave Himself for such as we-
On Calvary, dark Calvary.

Oh, who is this that cometh
From Edom’s crimson plain,

A ransom gave;
I that speak in righteousness,
Mighty to save !
“Mighty to save ! ..
Mighty to save ! . .
Lord, I’ll trust Thy wondrous love,
Mighty to save !

So very deeply dyed ?—
Like them that tread the wine-press red ?
Oh, why this crimson tide ?
“I the wine-press trod alone,
‘Neath darkening skies;
Of the people there was none
Mighty to save!”
3 O bleeding Lamb, my Saviour,
How couldst Thou bear this shame?
With mercy fraught, Thine arm hath brought
Salvation in Thy name !

Conquered the grave:
Now the year of joy has come—
Mighty to save!”

If on Jesus thy guilt was not laid ?
Oh, why from His side flowed the
sin-cleansing blood,

On Him, then, who shed it, thou mayest at once
Thy weight of iniquities roll.

126Â O sacred Head once wounded
O sacred Head once wounded,
With grief and pain weighed down ,
How scornfully surrounded
With thorns, Thine only crown !
How art Thou pale with anguish,
With sore abuse and scorn !
How does that visage languish,
Which once was bright as morn.
2 O sacred Head, what glory,
What bliss till now was Thine !
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call Thee mine:
Thy grief and Thy compassion
Were all for sinners’ gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain.
3 What language shall I borrow,

For this Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end ?

Nor let me faithless prove;

Abuse such dying love !

Rich the trophies Jesus brings:
In the seat of power enthrone Him,
While the vault of heaven rings.

Mocking thus the Saviour’s claim;

Own His title, praise His name.

Hark those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station;
Oh, what joy the sight affords !
128Â Â O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head

Our load was laid on Thee;
Thou stoodest in the sinner’s stead,
Didst bear all ill for me.
A Victim led, Thy blood was shed !
Now there’s no load for me.
2 Death and the curse were in our cup:
O Christ, ’twas full for Thee !
Bat Thou hast drained the last dark drop,
Tis empty now for me:
That bitter cup, love drank it up,
Now blessing’s draught for me.
3 Jehovah lifted up His rod:
O Christ, it fell on Thee !
Thou wast sore stricken of Thy God;
There’s not one stroke for me.
Thy tears. Thy blood, beneath it flowed;
Thy bruising healeth me.
4 The tempest’s awful voice was heard;
O Christ, it broke on Thee !
Thy open bosom was my ward,
It braved the storm for me.
Thy form was scarred, Thy visage marred;
Now cloudless peace for me.
5 Jehovah bade His sword awake,
O Christ, it woke ‘gainst Thee;
Thy blood the flaming blade must slake,
Thy heart its sheath must be.
All for my sake, my peace to make:
Now sleeps that sword for me.
6 For me, Lord Jesus, Thou hast died,
And I have died in Thee:

And now Thou liv’st in me;
When purified, made white, and tried,
Thy glory then for me.

That fountain in his day;

Wash all my sins away.

Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.

Lies silent in the grave.

While the world, into hie awaking, [Day,
Hails the bright, bright ray of the glad Easter
O’er the hills in beauty breaking !

For He lives on high no more to die,
And shall reign o’er the earth victorious !
March on, march on ! Etc.

Who rent the grave asunder,
And the angel eyes that saw Him rise,
How they gazed on the scene with wonder !

To His courts away, oh, haste to-day,

My God, I have found the thrice-blessed ground,
Where life and where joy and true comfort abound.
Hallelujah ! Thine the glory ! Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah ! Thine the glory ! revive us again!
2 ‘Tis found in the blood of Him who once stood
My refuge and safety, my Surety with God.
3 He bore on the tree the sentence for me,
And now both the Surety and sinner are free.
4 Accepted I am in the once-offered Lamb;
It was God who Himself had devised the plan.
5 And though here below, ‘mid sorrow and woe,
My place is in heaven with Jesus, I know.
6 And this I shall find, for such is His mind,
“He’ll not be in glory, and leave me behind.”
7 For soon He will come, and take me safe home,
And make me to sit with Himself on His throne.
132 ‘Tis midnight : and on Olive’s brow
‘Tis midnight : and on Olive’s brow
The star is dimmed that lately shone;
‘Tis midnight ; in the garden now
The suffering Saviour prays alone.
2 ‘Tis midnight : and from all removed,
The Saviour wrestles ‘lone with fears;
E’en that disciple whom He loved
Heeds not his Master’s grief and tears.
3 ‘Tis midnight : and for others’ guilt
The Man of Sorrows weeps in blood;
Yet He, who hath in anguish knelt,
Is not forsaken by His God.
4 ‘Tis midnight : and from ether-plains
Ts borne the song that angels know;
Unheard by mortals are the strains
That sweetly soothe the Saviour’s woe.
133Â Thou spotless Lamb of God
Thou spotless Lamb of God,
On Thee for help I lean;
I know Thy precious blood
Has power to make me clean.
Oh, take my burdened heart,
And wash away its sin;
Thy righteousness impart,
And make me pure within.
2 I have no hope beside,
I urge no other plea,
Save Thou hast lived and died,
Hast lived and died for me.
Thy pardoning voice I hear,
That tells me I am Thine;
I can no longer fear
Since Thou, O Christ, art mine !
3 For ever by Thy side
My willing soul would stay;
Be Thou my Guard and Guide
Through life’s uncertain day.
No other will I own,
No other name I plead;
Thou didst for sin atone,
And Thou art all I need.
(SS &S) Sacred Songs and Solos Hymns 101 – 150
134Â Jesus, keep me near the Cross
Jesus, keep me near the Cross:
There a precious fountain,
Free to all—a healing stream—
Flows from Calvary’s mountain.
In the Cross, in the Cross, be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.
2 Near the Cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Shed its beams around me.
3 Near the Cross ! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadow o’er me.

Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.

The last and fiercest strife is nigh;
The Father on His sapphire throne
Awaits His own anointed Son.
4 Ride on ! ride on in majesty !
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
Bow Thy meek head to mortal pain,
Then take, O God, Thy power, and
Reign.
136Â Enthroned is Jesus now
Enthroned is Jesus now
Upon His heavenly seat;
The kingly crown is on His brow,
The saints are at His feet.
There . . . with the glorified,
Safe … by our Saviour’s side,
We shall be satisfied by-and-by I
By- – – and-by 1 . . by- – – and-by
We shall be satisfied by-and-by I
2 In shining white they stand,
A great and countless throng;
A palmy sceptre in each hand,
On every lip a song.
3 They sing the Lamb of God,
Once slain on earth for them;
The Lamb through whose atoning blood
Each wears his diadem.
4 Thy grace, O Holy Ghost,
Thy blessed help supply,
That we may join that radiant host,
Triumphant in the sky !
137Â Lo ! a fountain full and free
Lo ! a fountain full and free,
Flowing, ever flowing !
Fainting heart, it is for thee—
Flowing, ever flowing !
Ever sparkling, never still,
Taste its sweetness, all who will.
Flowing ever ! flowing, ever flowing !
Flowing ever ! flowing now for thee !
2 List the murmur that it speaks,
Flowing, ever flowing !
On the soul in song it breaks,
Flowing, ever flowing !
Singing weary souls to ease—
Music of all melodies.
3 Blessed fount ! the purest known,
Flowing, ever flowing !
Stream of life from out God’s throne,
Flowing, ever flowing !
Sacred blood for sinners spilt—
This can cleanse away thy guilt.
138Â The blood has always precious been
The blood has always precious been,
‘Tis precious now to me;
Through it alone my soul has rest,
From fear and doubt set free.
Oh, wondrous is the crimson tide,
Which from my Saviour flowed !
And still in heaven my song shall be,
“The precious, precious blood I”
2 “I will remember now no more”—
God’s faithful Word has said—
“The follies and the sins of him
For whom My Son has bled.”
3 Not all my well-remembered sins
Can startle or dismay:
That precious blood atones for all,
And bears my guilt away.
4 Perhaps this feeble frame of mine
Will soon in sickness lie;
But, resting on that precious blood,
How peacefully I’ll die !
(SS &S) Sacred Songs and Solos Hymns 101 – 150
139Â Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Beneath the Cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand—
The shadow of a mighty Rock
Within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness,
A rest upon the way, [heat,
From the burning of the noontide
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 !
As to the holy patriarch
That wondrous dream was given,
So seems my Saviour’s cross to me
A ladder up to heaven.
3 There lies beneath its shadow,
But on the farther side,
The darkness of an awful grave
That gapes both deep and wide;
And there between us stands the cross,
Two arms outstretched to save,
Like a watchman set to guard the way
From that eternal grave.
4 Upon that cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One
Who suffered there for me;
And from my smitten heart, with
Two wonders I confess— [tears,
The wonder of His glorious love,
And my own worthlessness.
5T take, O cross, thy shadow
For my abiding place;
T ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face:
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss—
My sinful self my only shame,
My glory all the cross.
140Â Â All ye that pass by
All ye that pass by,
To Jesus draw nigh;
To you is it nothing
That Jesus should die ?
Your ransom and peace,
Your surety He is,
Come, see if there ever
Was sorrow like His.
2 For what you have done
His blood must atone:
The Father hath punished
For you His dear Son:
The Lord, in the day
Of His anger did lay
Your sins on the Lamb,
And He bore them away.
3 He died to atone
For sins not His own;
Your debt He hath paid
And your work He hath done:
Ye all may receive
The peace He did leave,
Who made intercession,
“My Father, forgive !”
4 For you and for me
He prayed on the tree;
The prayer is accepted,
The sinner is free;
The sinner am I,
Who on Jesus rely,
And come for the pardon
God cannot deny.
5 His death is my plea;
My Advocate see,
And hear the blood speak
That hath answered for me:
He purchased the grace
Which now I embrace;
O Father, Thou know’st
He hath died in my place !
141Â The head that once was crowned with thorns
The head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now:
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty Victor’s brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
Is His by sovereign right:
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
He reigns in perfect light.
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below,
To whom He manifests His love,
And grants His name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is given:
Their name, an everlasting name;
Their joy, the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above;
Their profit and their bliss to know
The fulness of His love.
6 His cross to them is life and health,
Though it was death to Him;
Their present hope, and joy, and wealth,
And their eternal theme,
(SS &S) Sacred Songs and Solos Hymns 101 – 150
142Â Â Nothing either great or small
Nothing either great or small—
Nothing, sinner, no;
Jesus did it, did it all,
Long, long ago.
“It is finished !”yes, indeed,
Finished every jot :
Sinner, this is all you need—
Tell me, is it not ?
2 When He, from His lofty throne,
Stooped to do and die.
Everything was fully done:
Hearken to His cry.
3 Weary, working, burdened one,
Wherefore toil you so ?
Cease your doing ; all was done
Long, long ago.
4 Till to Jesus’ work you cling
By a simple faith,
“Doing” is a deadly thing—
“Doing” ends in death.
5 Cast your deadly
“doing” down —
Down at Jesus’ feet;
Stand in Him, in Him alone,
Gloriously complete.
143Â Free from the law, oh, happy condition
Free from the law, oh, happy condition!
Jesus hath bled, and there is remission!
Cursed by the law, and bruised by the fall,
Grace hath redeemed us once for all.
Once for all, O sinner, receive it;
Once for all, O brother, believe it:
Cling to the Cross, the burden will fall;
Christ hath redeemed us once for all.
2 Now are we free—there’s no condemnation,
Jesus provides a perfect salvation;
“Come unto Me”—oh, hear His sweet call,
Come, and He saves us once for all.
3 “Children of God !” oh, glorious calling!;
Surely His grace will keep us from falling
Passing from death to life at His call,
Blessed salvation once for all.
144Â When God of old the way of life
When God of old the way of life
Would teach to all His own,
He placed them safe beyond the reach
Of death, by blood alone.
It is His word, . . God’s precious word, . .
It stands for ever true :
“When I the Lord . . shall see the blood, . .
I will pass over you.”
2 By Christ, the sinless Lamb of God,
The precious blood was shed,
When He fulfilled God’s holy Word,
And suffered in our stead.
3 O soul, for thee salvation thus
By God is freely given;
The blood of Christ atones for sin,
And makes us meet for heaven.
4 The wrath of God that was our due,
Upon the Lamb was laid;
And by the shedding of His blood
The debt for us was paid.
5 How calm the judgment hour shall
To all who do obey [pass
The Word of God, and trust the blood,
And make that Word their stay !
145Â Would you be free from your burden of sin
Would you be free from your burden of sin ?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you o’er evil a victory win ?
There’s wonderful power in the blood.
There is power, . . . power, wonder-working power
In the blood … of the Lamb ; . . .
There is power, . . . power, wonder-working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb.
2 Would you be free from your passion
and pride ? [in the blood;
There’s power in the blood, power
Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide,
There’s wonderful power in the blood.
3 Would you be whiter, much whiter
than snow ? [in the blood;
There’s power in the blood, power
Sin-stains are lost in its life-giving flow,
There’s wonderful power in the blood.
4 Would you do service for Jesus your King ?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you live daily His praises to sing ?
There’s wonderful power in the blood.
146Â Behold, the Easter-tide is here
Behold, the Easter-tide is here,
With Easter joy and bloom:
Behold, the stone is rolled away,
To show a conquered tomb.
Jesus is risen, as He said—
Risen in triumph from the grave I
Rejoice and sing on this Easter-tide—
Jesus is risen, mighty to save I
2 Behold, the vestures of the dead,
All folded back with care:
Behold, the dark and vacant tomb,
For Jesus is not there.
3 Behold, He walks the earth again,
Exalted in His love:
Behold, the glory on His brow,
Reflected from above.
4 Behold, the Easter-tide is here,
With Easter song and word:
Behold, amid these Easter gifts,
The triumph of the Lord.
(SS&S) Sacred Songs and Solos Hymns 101 – 150
147 The Lord of glory ! who is He
The Lord of glory ! who is He ?
Who is the King of glory ?
Only the Son of God can be
The Christ, the King of glory :
Consider all His wounds, and see
How Jesus’ death upon the tree
Proclaims Him King of glory.
2 Above all heavens, at God’s right hand,
Now sits the King of glory;
The angels by His favour stand
Before the throne of glory:
Swiftly they fly at His command,
To guard His own of every land.
To keep the heirs of glory.
3 Death and the grave confess the Lamb
To be the King of glory;
The powers of darkness dread His name,
All creatures show His glory:
He said, Ere Abraham was I AM”—
Jesus is evermore the same,
Th’ Almighty King of glory.
4 Thrice happy who in Him believe,
They soon will share His glory;
Born of His Spirit, they receive
His secret pledge of glory :
Taught by His cross, for sin they grieve;
He calls them brethren, and they cleave
To Him, their hope of glory.
SS&S 148Â Soft and sweet the bells are ringing
Soft and sweet the bells are ringing
From the steeple old and grey;
Sweet and soft the children singing-
Christ the Lord arose to-day !
Sweetly, softly sounds the anthem,
For the stone is rolled away;
Glory, honour give to Jesus
On this resurrection day !
2 Sweeter far than earthly music
Since the Christmas melody,
Is this song of Easter glory,
This glad psalm of victory.
3 Love’s redeeming work is finished,
Fought the fight, the victory won;
Glory, glory in the highest !
To the Father and the Son.
SS&S 149Â Hark ! ten thousand harps and voices
Hark ! ten thousand harps and voices
Sound the note of praise above;
Jesus reigns, and heaven rejoices;
Jesus reigns, the God of love:
. . . See, He sits on yonder throne;
. . . Jesus rules the world alone.
Hallelujah ! hallelujah !
Jesus rules the world alone.
2 King of glory ! reign for ever—
Thine an everlasting crown;
Nothing from Thy love shall sever
Those whom Thou hast made Thine own;—
His Humiliation, Resurrection, and Glory
. . . Happy objects of Thy grace,
. . . Destined to behold Thy face.
Hallelujah ! hallelujah !
Destined to behold Thy face.
3 Saviour ! hasten Thine appearing;
Bring, oh bring the glorious day,
When the awful summons hearing,
Heaven and earth shall pass away;
. . . Then, with golden harps we’ll
…” Glory, glory to our King ! [sing,
Hallelujah ! hallelujah !
Glory, glory to our King !”

SS&S 150Â Jesus lives, and Jesus leads
Jesus lives, and Jesus leads,
Though the way be dreary;
Morn to darkest night succeeds,
Courage, then, ye weary:
Still the faithful Shepherd feeds;
Jesus lives, and Jesus leads.
2 All the words He ever spoke,
Still to us He speaketh;
All the bread He ever broke,
Still for us He breaketh:
Still the faithful Shepherd feeds;
Jesus lives, and Jesus leads.
3 Jesus lives, but Jesus died;
Love to death consigned Him:
Death the mighty Love resigned,
Could not hold or bind Him:
Therefore still He meets our needs;
Jesus lives, and Jesus leads.
4 Jesus lives, and every grace
Comes because He giveth;
Life and love in every place
Live, for Jesus liveth:
All our thoughts His love exceeds;
Jesus lives, and Jesus leads.
5 Yes, if Jesus lives, He leads—
He will not forsake us;
He will crown His gracious deeds,
And to glory take us:
Till that hour the Shepherd feeds;
Jesus lives, and Jesus leads.
