Matthew 2:10

• [Mat 2:10] As With Gladness, Men Of Old

  As with gladness, men of old Did the guiding star behold As with joy they hailed its light Leading onward, beaming bright So, most glorious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger bed There to bend the knee before Him Whom Heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy seat. As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin’s alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. In the heavenly country bright, Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down; There forever may we sing Alleluias to our King!

Matthew 17:8

• [Mat 17:8] Jesus Only

  What tho’ clouds are hov’ring o’er me, And I seem to walk alone— Longing ’mid my cares and crosses, For the joys that now are flown— If I’ve Jesus, “Jesus only,” Then my sky will have a gem; He’s a Sun of brightest splendor, And the Star of Bethlehem. What tho’ all my earthly journey Bringeth naught but weary hours, And, in grasping for life’s roses, Thorns I find instead of flow’rs— If I’ve Jesus, “Jesus only,” I possess a cluster rare; He’s the “Lily of the Valley,” And the “Rose of Sharon” fair. What tho’ all my heart is yearning For the loved of long ago— Bitter lessons, sadly learning From the shadowy page of woe— If I’ve Jesus, “Jesus only,” He’ll be with me to the end; And, unseen by mortal vision, Angel bands will o’er me bend. When I soar to realms of glory And an entrance I await, If I whisper, “Jesus only!” Wide will ope the pearly gate; When I join the heavenly chorus, And the angel hosts I see, Precious Jesus, “Jesus only,” Will my theme of rapture be.

• [Mat 17:8] Jesus Only, Let Me See

  For salvation full and free, Purchased once on Calvary, Christ alone shall be my plea— Jesus! Jesus only. Refrain Jesus only, let me see, Jesus only, none save He, Then my song shall ever be— Jesus! Jesus only! He my Guide from day to day, As I journey on life’s way; Close beside Him let me stay— Jesus! Jesus only. Refrain May my model ever be Christ the Lord, and none save He, That the world may see in me Jesus! Jesus only. Refrain He shall reign from shore to shore, His the glory evermore— Heav’n and earth shall bow before Jesus! Jesus only. Refrain
