By A Collection of Hymns
2-6s & 4-7s. Hebrews vi. 20.
1 JESUS, to thee we fly,
On thee for help rely;
Thou our only refuge art,
Thou dost all our fears control,
Rest of every troubled heart,
Life of every dying soul.
2 We lift our joyful eyes,
And see the dazzling prize,
See the purchase of thy blood,
Freely now to sinners given;
Thou the living way hast showed
Thou to us hast opened heaven.
3 We now, divinely bold,
Of thy reward lay hold;
All thy glorious joy is ours,
All the treasures of thy love;
Now we taste the heavenly powers,
Now we reign with thee above.
4 Our anchor sure and fast
Within the veil is cast;
Stands our never-failing hope
Grounded in the holy place;
We shall after thee mount up,
See the Godhead face to face.
5 By faith already there,
In thee our Head, we are;
With our great forerunner we
Now in heavenly places sit,
Banquet with the Deity,
See the world beneath our feet.
6 Thou art our flesh and bone,
Thou art to heaven gone;
Gone, that we might all pursue,
Closely in thy footsteps tread;
Gone, that we might follow too,
Reign triumphant with our Head.
