- Have you not a word for Jesus?
Not a word to say for Him?
He is list’ning through the chorus
Of the burning seraphim.
He has spoken words of blessing,
Pardon, peace and love to you,
Glorious hopes and gracious comfort,
Strong and tender, sweet and true. - Have you not a word for Jesus?
Will the world His praise proclaim?
Who shall speak if ye are silent—
Ye who know and love His name?
You, whom He hath called and chosen
His own followers to be,
Will you tell your gracious master,
“Lord, we cannot speak ...

- At first I prayed for light:
Could I but see the way,
How gladly, swiftly would I walk
To everlasting day! - And next I prayed for strength:
That I might tread the road
With firm, unfalt’ring feet, and win
The heav’ns’ serene abode. - And then I prayed for faith:
Could I but trust my God,
I’d live enfolded in His peace,
Though foes were all abroad. - But now I pray for love:
Deep love to God and man;
A living love that will not fail,
However dark His plan. - And light and strength and faith
Are op’ning ever...

- Jesus, my king, my wonderful Savior,
All of my life is given to Thee;
I am rejoicing in Thy salvation;
Thy precious blood now maketh me free.- Refrain:
Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior,
Thou art so near, so precious to me!
Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior,
My heart is filled with praises to Thee!
- Freedom from sin, oh, wonderful story—
All of its stains washed whiter than snow!
Jesus has come to live in His temple,
And with His love my heart is aglow. - Jesus, my Lord, I’ll ever adore Thee,
Lay at Thy ...

- Jesus, priceless Treasure,
Source of purest pleasure,
Truest friend to me.
Long my heart hath panted,
Till it almost fainted,
Thirsting after Thee.
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will suffer naught to hide Thee,
Ask for nought beside Thee. - In Thy arms I rest me;
Foes who would molest me
Cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
Every heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear.
Sin and hell in conflict fell,
With their heaviest storms assail me:
Jesus will not fail me. - Satan, I defy thee;
Death, I now decry ...

- Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly-minded,
For with blessing in His hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand. - King of kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth He stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
In the body and the blood;
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heav’nly food. - Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of light descendeth
From the realms of endless day...
