Luke 1:14

• [Luk 1:14] In Thee Is Gladness

  In Thee is gladness, amid all sadness, Jesus, sunshine of my heart. By Thee are given the gifts of Heaven, Thou the true Redeemer art. Our souls Thou makest, our bonds Thou breakest; Who trusts Thee surely hath built securely, And stands forever. Alleluia! If God be ours, we fear no powers, Not of earth or sin or death. God sees and blesses in worst distresses, And can change them in a breath. Wherefore the story tell of God’s glory With heart and voices; all Heaven rejoices, Singing forever: Alleluia!

Luke 23:42

• [Luk 23:42] Jesus, Thou Art The Sinner’s Friend

  Jesus, Thou art the sinner’s Friend; As such I look to Thee; Now, in the fullness of Thy love, O Lord, remember me. Remember Thy pure Word of grace, Remember Calvary’s tree, Remember all Thy dying groans, And then remember me. Thou wondrous Advocate with God, I yield my soul to Thee; While Thou art pleading on the throne, Dear Lord, remember me. Lord, I am guilty, I am vile, But Thy salvation’s free; Then, in Thine all abounding grace, Dear Lord, remember me. Howe’er forsaken or despised, Howe’er oppressed I be, Howe’er forgotten here on earth, Do Thou remember me. And when I close my eyes in death, And human help shall flee, Then, then, my dear redeeming God, O then remember me.

• [Luk 23:42] Lord, When Thy Kingdom Comes

  “Lord, when Thy kingdom comes, remember me”; Thus spake the dying lips to dying ears; O faith, which in that darkest hour could see The promised glory of the far off years! No kingly sign declares that glory now, No ray of hope lights up that awful hour; A thorny crown surrounds the bleeding brow, The hands are stretched in weakness, not in power. Yet hear the word the dying Savior saith, “Thou too shalt rest in Paradise today”; O words of love to answer words of faith! O words of hope for those who live to pray! Lord, when with dying lips my prayer is said, Grant that in faith Thy kingdom I may see; And, thinking on Thy cross and bleeding head, May breathe my parting words, “Remember me.” Remember me, but not my shame or sin; Thy cleansing blood hath washed them all away; Thy precious death for me did pardon win; Thy blood redeemed me in that awful day. Remember me, yet how canst Thou forget What pain and anguish I have caused to Thee, The cross, the agony, the bloody sweat, And all the sorrow Thou didst bear for me? Remember me, and, ere I pass away, Speak Thou th’assuring word that sets us free, And make Thy promise to my heart, “Today Thou too shalt rest in Paradise with Me.”
