My strength and my portion

... Posted in Hymns

I've loved this hymn for the longest time. We sang it tonight at church and I cried.

You can find it here, to listen, although it's played a bit faster than I like.

He Hideth my Soul

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.

Refrain:

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
He hideth my life with the depths of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
He taketh my burden away;
He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength as my day.

(Refrain)

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,
And filled with His fullness divine,
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God
For such a Redeemer as mine!

(Refrain)

When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love
I’ll shout with the millions on high.

(Refrain)

Praise God! we have such a wonderful Lord and Saviour.

:: Sunday hymn ::

... Posted in Hymns

Thought I'd follow in the footsteps of a few dear blogging friends and post a hymn on Sundays. This one was sung after the Lord's Supper tonight, by our pastor, a young lady (featured in the music section of my church's website), and our song leader (Louanne's hubby). Many of us joined in, and it was a sweet time of worship. The words and music can be found at cyberhymnal.org. We sang it somewhat slower.

Blessed Redeemer

Up Calvary’s mountain, one dreadful morn,
Walked Christ my Savior, weary and worn;
Facing for sinners death on the cross,
That He might save them from endless loss.

Refrain:

Blessèd Redeemer! Precious Redeemer!
Seems now I see Him on Calvary’s tree;
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading,
Blind and unheeding—dying for me!

“Father forgive them!” thus did He pray,
E’en while His lifeblood flowed fast away;
Praying for sinners while in such woe
No one but Jesus ever loved so.

Refrain

O how I love Him, Savior and Friend,
How can my praises ever find end!
Through years unnumbered on Heaven’s shore,
My tongue shall praise Him forevermore.

Refrain
