Christ's admonition to Peter under approaching trials, and intercession for him
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Intercession of Christ; Intercession of Christ For Peter; Christ's intercession of the tempted First Line: How keen the tempter's malice is! Lyrics: 1 How keen the tempter's malice is!
How artful, and how great!
Tho' not one grain shall be destroyed,
Yet will he sift the wheat.
2 But God can all his power control,
And gather in his chain;
And, where he seems to triumph most,
The captive soul regain.
3 There is a shepherd kind and strong,
Still watchful for his sheep;
Nor shall the infernal lion rend,
Whom he vouchsafes to keep.
4 Blest Jesus, intercede for us,
That we may fall not more,
O raise us when we prostrate lie,
And comfort lost restore,
5 The secret energy impart,
That faith may never fail;
But, 'midst whole showers of fiery darts,
That temper'd shield prevail.
6 Secur'd ourselves by grace divine,
We'll guard our brethren too;
And, taught their frailty by our own,
Our care of them renew.

Fulfilling all thou hast designed.

And in God's Name our banners raise;
Jehovah hearken to thy voice,
Fulfill thy prayers thro' all thy days.

And His anointed will defend;
Yea, with the strength of His right hand
From heav'n He will an answer send.

Who on mere human help rely;

While they, subdued and helpless fall;

The King give answer when we call.

Why are we ever overborne with care,
Anxious or troubled, when with us is prayer,
And joy and strength and courage are with Thee?

all the raging hosts of sin,
and by him alone we conquer
foes without and foes within.

in our hearts may rule today,
grieved not, quenched not, but unhindered,
work in us his sovereign way.
Fill us with your holy fullness,
God the Father, Spirit, Son;
in us, through us, then, forever,
shall your perfect will be done.

For all a full atonement made.

To claim my mansion in the skies,
Even then, this shall be all my plea,
Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.

Hail, Thou Galilean King!
Thou didst suffer to release us;
Thou didst free salvation bring.
Hail, Thou agonizing Saviour,
Bearer of our sin and shame!
By Thy merits we find favour;
Life is given through Thy name.
2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
All our sins on Thee were laid;
By almighty Love anointed,
Thou hast full atonement made.
All Thy people are forgiven,
Through the virtue of Thy blood;
Opened is the gate of heaven,
Peace is made 'twixt man and God.
3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
There for ever to abide;
All the heavenly host adore Thee,
Seated at Thy Father's side.
There for sinners Thou art pleading,
There Thou dost our place prepare;
Ever for us interceding,
Till in glory we appear.
4 Worship, honour, power, and blessing,
Thou art worthy to receive;
Loudest praises without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give.
Help, ye bright angelic spirits!
Bring your sweetest, noblest lays,
Help to sing our Saviour's merits;
Help to chant Immanuel's praise. Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

O Love Divine! That stoop'st to share
Arise, my soul, arise
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #142 (1870) Topics: Christ Intercession of; Intercession of Christ Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, arise,
Shake off thy guilty fears,
The bleeding Sacrifice
In my behalf appears;
Before the throne my Surety stands,
My name is written on His hands.
2 He ever lives above,
For me to intercede;
His all-redeeming love,
His precious blood to plead;
His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
3 Five bleeding wounds He bears,
Received on Calvary;
They pour effectual prayers,
They strongly speak for me;
Forgive him, oh, forgive, they cry,
Nor let that ransom'd sinner die.
4 The Father hears Him pray,
His dear anointed One;
He cannot turn away
The presence of His Son:
His Spirit answers to the blood,
And tells me I am born of God.
5 My God is reconciled,
His pard'ning voice I hear:
He owns me for His child,
I can no longer fear;
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And "Father, Abba Father!" cry. Languages: English
Arise, my soul, arise
Jesus, my great High Priest
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #144 (1870) Topics: Christ Intercession of; Intercession of Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my great High Priest,
Offered His blood and died;
My guilty conscience seeks
No sacrifice beside.
His powerful blood did once atone,
And now it pleads before the throne.
2 To this dear Surety's hand
Will I commit my cause;
He answers and fulfils
His Father's broken laws.
Behold my soul at freedom set;
My Surety paid the dreadful debt.
3 My Advocate appears
For my defence on high;
The Father bows His ears,
And lays His thunder by.
Not all that hell or sin can say,
Shall turn His heart, His love away.
4 Should all the hosts of death,
And powers of hell unknown,
Put their most dreadful forms
Of rage and mischief on,
I shall be safe, for Christ displays
Superior power and guardian grace. Languages: English
Jesus, my great High Priest
Th' atoning work is done
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #145 (1870) Topics: Christ Intercession of; Intercession of Christ Lyrics: 1 The atoning work is done,
The Victim’s blood is shed,
And Jesus now is gone
His people’s cause to plead:
He stands in heaven their great High Priest,
And bears their names upon His breast.
2 No temple made with hands
His place of service is;
In heaven itself He stands,
A heavenly priesthood His:
In Him the shadows of the law
Are all fulfill'd, and now withdraw.
3 And though awhile He be
Hid from the eyes of men,
His people look to see
Their great High Priest again:
In brightest glory He will come,
And take His waiting people home. Languages: English
Th' atoning work is done
O Thou, the contrite sinners' Friend!
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #146 (1870) Topics: Christ Intercession of; Intercession of Christ Lyrics: 1 O Thou, the contrite sinners' Friend!
Who, loving, lov'st them to the end,
On this alone my hopes depend,
That Thou wilt plead for me.
2 When weary in the Christian race,
Far off appears my resting-place,
And, fainting, I mistrust Thy grace,
Then, Saviour, plead for me.
3 When I have err'd and gone astray,
Afar from Thine and wisdom's way,
And see no glimmering, guiding way,
Still, Saviour, plead for me.
4 When Satan, by my sins made bold,
Strives from Thy cross to loose my hold,
Then with Thy pitying arms enfold,
And plead, oh, plead for me!
5 And when my dying hour draws near,
Darken'd with anguish, guilt and fear,
Then to my fainting sight appear,
Pleading in heaven for me.
6 When the full light of heavenly day
Reveals my sins in dread array,
Say thou hast wash'd them all away;
Oh, say Thou plead'st for me! Languages: English
O Thou, the contrite sinners' Friend!
Jesus, my Advocate above
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #147 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ Intercession of; Intercession of Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Advocate above,
My Friend before the throne of love,
If now for me prevails Thy prayer,
If now I find Thee pleading there,--
2 If Thou the secret wish convey,
And sweetly prompt my heart to pray;--
Hear, and my weak petitions join,
Almighty Advocate, to Thine.
3 Jesus, my heart’s desire obtain;
My earnest suit present, and gain:
My fulness of corruption show;
The knowledge of myself bestow.
4 Save me from death; from hell set free;
Death, hell, are but the want of Thee:
My life, my only heaven Thou art;--
Oh, might I feel Thee in my heart! Languages: English
Jesus, my Advocate above
Weary of wand'ring from my God
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #148 (1870) Topics: Christ Intercession of; Intercession of Christ Lyrics: 1 Weary of wand'ring from my God,
And now made willing to return,
I hear, and bow beneath the rod;
For Thee, not without hope, I mourn:
I have an Advocate above,
A Friend before the throne of love.
2 O Jesus! full of truth and grace,
More full of grace than I of sin;
Yet once again I seek Thy face;
Open Thine arms and take me in;
And freely my backslidings heal,
And love the faithless sinner still.
3 Thou know'st the way to bring me back,
My fallen spirit to restore;
Oh, for Thy truth and mercy's sake,
Forgive, and bid me sin no more!
The ruins of my soul repair,
And make my heart a house of prayer. Languages: English
Weary of wand'ring from my God
