Christ Laid Aside His Own Honour
"He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life". Jn. 8:12
Christ laid aside His own honour,
His glory He left above
He came down to dark sinful world:
He's a man of sympathy
He suffered death and agony
In our place that we might live
Jesus has fully accepted
Jesus has the power too.
To deliver His faithful friends,
From the hands of all their foes
Jesus' love is great and matchless;
His friendship to us untold.
Christ, thou art the light of this world
Shine and show us way of life
Shine and let us carefully walk,
Meet thee in heaven above.
Come, O Lord, Jesus our saviour,
Even in death, be near us.
Christ my friend shame overwelms me,
That my love to Thee is small
Take my heart, fill it with thy love,
Let it fill me o'er and o'er.
Wash in thy blood, make me holy,
Take me up, to dwell with Thee.
Come Thou, Our Saviour, Give Us Grace
"I am the way, the truth, and the life" John 14:6
Come thou, our Saviour, give us grace
Which cometh from above;
Enable us to hear the word
That Thou hast sent to us
It is thou, the eternal Truth.
That showeth unto man,
The knowledge of a life of joy,
And what is good for man.
O that we all may follow Thee
In that good perfect way,
The way in which Thou here hast walked
That we may worship Thee.
Thou art the life, the life of God,
To them that love Thee give
The pow'r o'er death and all evils
That greatly vex us here
Thou art the way, Thou art the truth,
Thou art the perfect life,
O, fill us with Thy spirit, Lord,
To worship Thee alone.
