Hymn to Jesus


(Tune: Love Divine all Loves Excelling)

Worthy! Majesty! - sing to Jesus!
He, the King of Kings, the Lord,
Healing touch for each soul wounded
Life abundant, fresh His Word;
Jesus, Alpha and Omega,
Christ, the Bright and Morning Star,
Precious Companion, our start and our ending
Lightens our Journey to Heaven afar.

Brightness, clarity streams from Jesus
As we seek to do His will,
Beauty, joy, in His near Presence
Each new morning's mercies thrill;
Living Door that opens Heaven,
Lamb once slain to break the curse,
Manna that feeds us each day in our hunger,
Water that quenches the gift of thirst.

Sure our victory now, in Jesus
Strength for battles we all face,
Sends us venturing with His blythe Spirit
Girds and guides us in the race;
Grants us peace that this world cannot offer,
Grace to face each daily trial,
Hymns to sing, though in a dark prison,
Songs through pain — and often His smile.

Precious solace found in Jesus,
Hope and guidance on the Way,
Such a marvellous Source of Wisdom
Showing us His will each new day;
As we trust and ask Him humbly
In our strivings we are blest;
Comforts and calms us in all of life’s ventures
Safe, we journey into Rest.

Faith


Faith, writes Frederick Buechner, is the direction your feet start walking - when you discover that you are loved.
