[Faith-Talk] Sharing a Hymn

[Judy Jones]

Hi,

Was curious about the melody for the same hymn and found two of them. This following link is a Bible study where the hymn was sung at about 2 minutes 25%seconds into the video.

Subject: [Faith-Talk] Sharing a Hymn

Good afternoon All,
The below hymn was shared by a friend on a list we're on together. Very thought-provoking! Enjoy and be blessed!—Linda

What Think Ye of Christ?
1. What think ye of Christ? is the test
To try both your state and your scheme;
You cannot be right in the rest,
Unless you think rightly of Him;
As Jesus appears in your view,
As He is beloved or not,
So God is dispos-ed to you,
And mercy, or wrath are your lot.
2. Some take Him a creature to be,
A man, or an angel at most:
Sure these have not feelings like me,
Nor know themselves wretched, and lost;
So guilty, so helpless, am I,
I durst not confide in His blood;
Nor on His protection rely,
Unless I were sure He is God.
3. Some call Him a Savior in word,
But mix their own works with their plan;
And hope He His help will afford,
When they have done all that they can;
If sayings prove rather too light,
(A little they own they may fail)
They purpose to make up full weight,
By casting His name in the scale.
4. Some style Him the pearl of great price,
And say He's the fountain of joys,
Yet feed upon folly and vice,
And cleave to the world and its toys;
Like Judas, the Savior they kiss,
And while they salute Him, betray;
Ah! what will professions like this
Avail in His terrible day.
5. If asked what of Jesus I think,
Although my best thoughts are but poor;
I say He's my meat and my drink,
My life, and my strength, and my store,
My shepherd, my husband, my friend,
My savior from sin, and from thrall,
My hope from beginning to end,
My portion, my Lord, and my all.
John Newton (1725-1807)

The second one comes from the Canadian Gadsby Hymns.

I also found another hymn, same title, but totally different melody and different words, but did not include its link here.

Enjoy.
