• [Mat 14:17] Little Is Much When God Is In It

  In the harvest field now ripened There’s a work for all to do; Hark! the voice of God is calling To the harvest calling you. Refrain Little is much when God is in it! Labor not for wealth or fame. There’s a crown—and you can win it, If you go in Jesus’ Name. In the mad rush of the broad way, In the hurry and the strife, Tell of Jesus’ love and mercy, Give to them the Word of Life. Refrain Does the place you’re called to labor Seem too small and little known? It is great if God is in it, And He’ll not forget His own. Refrain Are you laid aside from service, Body worn from toil and care? You can still be in the battle, In the sacred place of prayer. Refrain When the conflict here is ended And our race on earth is run, He will say, if we are faithful, “Welcome home, My child—well done!” Refrain

• [Mat 14:19] Looking Upward Every Day

  Looking upward every day, Sunshine on our faces; Pressing onward every day Toward the heavenly places; Growing every day in awe, For Thy Name is holy; Learning every day to love With a love more lowly; Walking every day more close To our Elder Brother; Growing every day more true Unto one another; Leaving every day behind Something which might hinder; Running swifter every day; Growing purer, kinder— Lord, so pray we every day: Hear us in Thy pity, That we enter in at last To the holy city.

• [Mat 14:23] I Love To Steal Awhile Away

  I love to steal awhile away From every cumbering care, And spend the hours of closing day In humble, grateful, prayer. I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear, And all His promises to plead Where none but god can hear. I love to think on mercies past, And future good implore, And all my cares and sorrows cast On God, whom I adore. I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heaven; The prospect doth my strength renew, While here by tempests driven. Thus, when life’s toilsome day is o’er, May its departing ray, Be calm at this impressive hour, And lead to endless day.

• [Mat 14:27] Be Not Afraid

  Come weal, come woe where’er we go, God is not far away; He holds the stormy winds that blow, And molds the golden day. The darkest night to Him is light, And thro’ the shine or shade, He speaks in tones of tender might, “My child, be not afraid.” Refrain Child, be not, be not afraid; Child, be not, be not afraid The darkest night to Him is light, And thro’ the shine or shade, Child, be not, be not afraid; Child, be not, be not afraid He speaks in tones of tender might, “My child, be not afraid.” Tho’ clouds may veil the stars that sail O’er boundless seas of space, And lights along all shores may fail, God will not hide His face; But sweetly whispers while His hands Upon His own are laid, “Lo! at thy side thy Father stands, My child, be not afraid.” Refrain Thro’ changing years, in joy and tears, The changeless One abides, And safe the soul from doubt and fears That in His bosom hides. On noisy street, in still retreat, Thro’ vales of deepest shade, That voice is heard with accents sweet, “My child, be not afraid.” Refrain

  Not worthy, Lord, to gather up the crumbs With trembling hand that from Thy table fall, A weary, heavy laden sinner comes To plead Thy promise and obey Thy call. I am not worthy to be thought Thy child, Nor sit the last and lowest at Thy board; Too long a wanderer and too oft beguiled; I only ask one reconciling word. One word from Thee, my Lord, one smile, one look, And I could face the cold, rough world again; And with that treasure in my heart could brook The wrath of devils and the scorn of men. And is not mercy Thy prerogative— Free mercy, boundless, fathomless, divine? Me, Lord, the chief of sinners, me forgive, And Thine the greater glory, only Thine. I hear Thy voice; Thou bidd’st me come and rest; I come, I kneel, I clasp Thy piercèd feet; Thou bidd’st me take my place, a welcome guest Among Thy saints, and of Thy banquet eat. My praise can only breathe itself in prayer, My prayer can only lose itself in Thee; Dwell Thou forever in my heart, and there, Lord, let me sup with Thee; sup Thou with me.

Oh, surely he was blest With blessedness unpriced, Who, taught of God, confessed The Godhead in the Christ! For of Thy Church, Lord, Thou didst own Thy saint a true foundation stone. Thrice was he put to shame, Thrice did the dauntless fall; But, oh, that look that came From out the judgment hall! It pierced and broke the spell-bound heart, And foiled the tempter’s sifting art. Thrice fallen, thrice restored! The bitter lesson learnt, That heart for Thee, O Lord, With triple ardor burnt. The cross he took he laid not down, Until he grasped the martyr’s crown.

  O young and fearless Prophet of ancient Galilee, Thy life is still a summons to serve humanity; To make our thoughts and actions less prone to please the crowd, To stand with humble courage for truth with hearts uncowed. We marvel at the purpose that held Thee to Thy course While ever on the hilltop before Thee loomed the cross; Thy steadfast face set forward where love and duty shone, While we betray so quickly and leave Thee there alone. O help us stand unswerving against war’s bloody way, Where hate and lust and falsehood hold back Christ’s holy sway; Forbid false love of country that blinds us to His call, Who lifts above the nations the unity of all. Stir up in us a protest against our greed for wealth, While others starve and hunger and plead for work and health; Where homes with little children cry out for lack of bread, Who live their years sore burdened beneath a gloomy dread. Create in us the splendor that dawns when hearts are kind, That knows not race nor station as boundaries of the mind; That learns to value beauty, in heart, or brain, or soul, And longs to bind God’s children into one perfect whole. O young and fearless Prophet, we need Thy presence here, Amid our pride and glory to see Thy face appear; Once more to hear Thy challenge above our noisy day, Again to lead us forward along God’s holy way.

Come, disaster, scorn and pain! In Thy service, pain is pleasure; with Thy favor, loss is gain.

Man may trouble and distress me, ’twill but drive me to Thy breast. Life with trials hard may press me; heaven will bring me sweeter rest. Oh, ’tis not in grief to harm me while Thy love is left to me; Oh, ’twere not in joy to charm me, were that joy unmixed with Thee. Take, my soul, thy full salvation; rise o’er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station something still to do or bear: Think what Spirit dwells within thee; what a Father’s smile is thine; What a Savior died to win thee, child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? Haste then on from grace to glory, armed by faith, and winged by prayer, Heaven’s eternal day’s before thee, God’s own hand shall guide thee there.

As once of yore Thyself restore And help to follow Thee. If not as once Thou cam’st In true humanity, Come yet as Guest within the breast That burns to follow Thee. Within our hearts of hearts In nearest nearness be: Set up Thy throne within Thine own; Go, Lord: We follow Thee.

  I must needs go home by the way of the cross, There’s no other way but this; I shall ne’er get sight of the gates of light, If the way of the cross I miss. Refrain The way of the cross leads home, The way of the cross leads home, It is sweet to know as I onward go, The way of the cross leads home.

• [Mat 16:26] God Gives His Mercies To Be Spent

  God gives His mercies to be spent; Your hoard will do your soul no good. Gold is a blessing only lent, Repaid by giving others food. The world’s esteem is but a bribe, To buy their peace you sell your own; The slave of a vainglorious tribe, Who hate you while they make you known. The joy that vain amusements give, O! sad conclusion that it brings! The honey of a crowded hive, Defended by a thousand stings. ’Tis thus the world rewards the fools That live upon her treacherous smiles: She leads them, blindfold, by her rules, And ruins all whom she beguiles. God knows the thousands who go down From pleasure into endless woe; And with a long despairing groan Blaspheme their Maker as they go. Oh fearful thought! be timely wise; Delight but in a Savior’s charms, And God shall take you to the skies, Embraced in everlasting arms.

Stay, Master, stay! we breathe a purer air; This life is not the life that waits us there; Thoughts, feelings, flashes, glimpses come and go; We cannot speak them—nay, we do not know; Wrapped in this cloud of light we seem to be The thing we fain would grow—eternally. “No!” saith the Lord, “the hour is past,” we go; Our home, our life, our duties lie below. While here we kneel upon the mount of prayer, The plough lies waiting in the furrow there! Here we sought God that we might know His will; There we must do it, serve Him, seek Him still. If man aspires to reach the throne of God, O’er the dull plains of earth must lie the road; He who best does his lowly duty here, Shall mount the highest in a nobler sphere: At God’s own feet our spirits seek their rest, And he is dearest Him who serves Him best.

Away from the tender Shepherd’s care. “Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for Thee?” But the Shepherd made answer: “This of Mine Has wandered away from Me; And although the road be rough and steep, I go to the desert to find My sheep, I go to the desert to find My sheep.” But none of the ransomed ever knew How deep were the waters crossed; Nor how dark was the night the Lord passed through Ere He found His sheep that was lost. Out in the desert He heard its cry, Sick and helpless and ready to die; Sick and helpless and ready to die. “Lord, whence are those blood drops all the way That mark out the mountain’s track?” “They were shed for one who had gone astray Ere the Shepherd could bring him back.” “Lord, whence are Thy hands so rent and torn?” “They are pierced tonight by many a thorn; They are pierced tonight by many a thorn.” And all through the mountains, thunder riven And up from the rocky steep, There arose a glad cry to the gate of Heaven, “Rejoice!

  This day in Jesus’ Name we meet, Our Lord, Redeemer, King; This day around Thy mercy seat We all Thy praises sing; Thou gavest us this day of rest, Of holiness divine; Lend comfort to each troubled breast, And make us ever Thine. Oppressed with earthly toil and pains The weary week did close; Yet God’s own day of peace remains When spirits seek repose. Let Sunday’s sweet refreshing dew All with’ring cares dispel; Let Sabbath joys our strength renew, Help us Thy goodness tell. Be with us, as Thy servant asks, Thy mercies to prolong; Grant that by prayer we know our tasks, Let incense rise with song. O may this be a day of light To nations far and near; Let all men see Thy visage bright, Thy loving message hear.

• [Mat 18:20] We Rear Not A Temple

  We rear not a temple, like Judah’s of old, Whose portals were marble, whose vaultings were gold; No incense is lighted, no victims are slain, No monarch kneels praying to hallow the fane. More simple and lowly the walls that we raise, And humbler the pomp of procession and praise, Where the heart is the altar whence incense shall roll, And Messiah the King Who shall pray for the soul. O Father, come in! but not in the cloud Which filled the bright courts where Thy chosen ones bowed; But come in that Spirit of glory and grace, Which beams on the soul and illumines the face. O come in the power of Thy life giving Word, And reveal to each heart its Redeemer and Lord; Till faith bring the peace to the penitent giv’n, And love fill the air with the fragrance of Heav’n. The pomp of Moriah has long passed away, And soon shall our frailer erection decay; But the souls that are builded in worship and love Shall be temples of God, everlasting above.

I willingly yielded My kingdom for thee, The song of archangels— to hang on the tree, In pain and temptation, in anguish and shame, I paid thy full ransom; My purchase I claim Refrain “Go work in My vineyard”; oh, work while ’tis day! The bright hours of sunshine are hastening away, And night’s gloomy shadows are gathering fast; The time for our labor will ever be past. Begin in the morning and toil all the day; Thy strength I’ll supply, and thy wages I’ll pay; And blessèd, thrice blessèd, the diligent few, Who finish the labor I’ve giv’n them to do. Refrain

Toiling early in the morning, Catching moments through the day, Nothing small or lowly scorning, So we work, and watch, and pray; Gathering gladly Free will offerings by the way. Not for selfish praise or glory, Not for objects nothing worth, But to send the blessèd story Of the Gospel o’er the earth, Telling mortals Of our Lord and Savior’s birth. Up and ever at our calling, Till in death our lips are dumb, Or till, sin’s dominion falling, Christ shall in His kingdom come, And His children Reach their everlasting home. Steadfast, then, in our endeavor, Heavenly Father, may we be; And forever, and forever, We will give the praise to Thee; Alleluia! Singing, all eternity.

  The King is coming in glory To catch His bride away, It may be in the morning It may be at midday, At the even or midnight; The trump will sound so clear, The dead in Christ, and we that live, His voice shall hear. Refrain The King is coming, hallelujah! He’s coming in the air, The fig tree is budding, The signs are everywhere, The King is coming, hallelujah! He’s coming in the air, He’s coming, hallelujah! To catch His bride away. Behold! He cometh, and leaping, And skipping o’er the hills; Like the young roe, like the young hart, My soul with rapture thrills; Thru the window He’s looking, Thru the lattice work is seen, The winter’s past, the rain is o’er, The figs are green. Refrain The King is coming, “Be ready,” To meet Him on that day; With your heart right, with your robes white, And in this holy way; Like the lightning that flashes In the twinkling of an eye, Our Lord shall come to claim His own, He’s drawing nigh. The saints are looking ever upward While journ’ing on their way. He’s coming, hallelujah! To catch His bride away. The saints are looking ever upward While journ’ing on their way.

  Lift up your heads, rejoice, redemption draweth nigh; Now breathes a softer air, now shines a milder sky; The early trees put forth their new and tender leaf; Hushed is the moaning wind that told of winter’s grief. Lift up your heads, rejoice, redemption draweth nigh; Now mount the laden clouds, now flames the darkening sky; The early scattered drops descend with heavy fall, And to the waiting earth the hidden thunders call. Lift up your heads, rejoice, redemption draweth nigh; O note the varying signs of earth, and air, and sky; The God of glory comes in gentleness and might, To comfort and alarm, to succor and to smite. He comes, the wide world’s King, He comes, the true heart’s Friend, New gladness to begin, and ancient wrong to end; He comes, to fill with light the weary waiting eye; Lift up your heads, rejoice, redemption draweth nigh.

  Hark! A voice divides the sky, happy are the faithful dead! In the Lord who sweetly die, they from all their toils are freed; Them the Spirit hath declared blessed, unutterably blessed; Jesus is their great reward, Jesus is their endless rest. Followed by their works, they go where their Head has gone before; Reconciled by grace below, grace has opened mercy’s door; Justified through faith alone, here they knew their sins forgiven, Here they laid their burden down, hallowed, and made fit for heaven. Who can now lament the lot of a saint in Christ deceased? Let the world, who know us not, call us hopeless and unblessed: When from flesh the spirit freed hastens homeward to return, Mortals cry, “A man is dead!” Angels sing, “A child is born!” Born into the world above, they our happy brother greet, Bear him to the throne of love, place him at the Savior’s feet; Jesus smiles, and says, “Well done, good and faithful servant thou; Enter, and receive thy crown, reign with Me triumphant now.” Angels catch the approving sound, bow, and bless the just award; Hail the heir with glory crowned, now rejoicing with his Lord: Fuller joys ordained to know, waiting for the general doom, When the archangel’s trump shall blow, “Rise, ye dead, to judgment come!”

Tranquil amid alarms, It found him on the field, A veteran, slumbering on his arms, Beneath his red cross shield. His sword was in his hand, Still warm with recent fight, Ready that moment, at command, Through rock and steel to smite. The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease; And, life’s long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. Soldier of Christ, well done!

• [Mat 25:40] O God Of Mercy! Hearken Now

  O God of mercy! hearken now Before Thy throne we humbly bow; With heart and voice to Thee we cry For all on earth who suffering lie. We seek Thee where Thou dwell’st on high; Beyond the glittering, starry sky: We find Thee where Thou dwell’st below Beside the beds of want and woe. O let the healing waters spring, Touched by Thy pitying angel’s wing; With quick’ning pow’r new strength impart To palsied will, to withered heart. Where poverty in pain must lie, Where little suffering children cry, Bid us haste forth as called by Thee, And in Thy poor Thyself to see.

  O God of mercy, God of might, In love and pity infinite, Teach us, as ever in Thy sight, To live our life to Thee. And Thou Who cam’st on earth to die, That fallen man might live thereby, O hear us, for to Thee we cry In hope, O Lord, to Thee. Teach us the lesson Thou hast taught, To feel for those Thy blood hath bought; That every word and deed and thought May work a work for Thee. For all are brethren, far and wide, Since Thou, O Lord, for all hast died; Then teach us, whatsoe’er betide, To love them all in Thee. In sickness, sorrow, want or care, Whate’er it be, ’tis ours to share; May we, when help is needed, there Give help as unto Thee. And may Thy Holy Spirit move All those who live, to live in love, Till Thou shalt greet in Heaven above All those who live to Thee.

• [Mat 25:40] O, Sing We A Carol

  O, sing we a carol all blithe and free, And fit for our Christmas morn, For the world is as cold as the cold can be, Though its Lord on this day was born; Though its Lord on this day was born: ’Tis a wintry time for the rich and poor, And who should be driv’n from a Christian’s door? Refrain ’Tis a wintry time for the rich and poor, And who should be driven from a Christian’s door? And who should be driv’n from a Christian’s door? For the angel’s song at the birth of Christ, With tidings of joy began; And it rang with a glory to God in the highest, And a brotherhood true for man; Yet ’twas winter time for rich and poor, When the shepherds came to the stable door. Yet ’twas winter time for the rich and poor, Refrain True sages were they who to Bethlehem led, Brought frankincense, myrrh, and gold, Which they offered to Christ on His manger bed, With a reverent love untold. Yet ’twas winter time for rich and poor, When the wise men knelt at the stable door. Yet ’twas winter time for the rich and poor, Refrain Cannot we make our offerings now to Christ’s need, When His poor all around we see? “Inasmuch as to them we have done the deed,” He will say, “Ye have done to Me.” He will say, “Ye have done to Me.” ’Tis a wintry time for the rich and poor, And who should be driv’n from a Christian’s door?

• [Mat 25:40] Poor Wayfaring Man Of Grief, A

  A poor wayfaring Man of grief Hath often crossed me on my way, Who sued so humbly for relief That I could never answer nay. I had not power to ask his name, Whereto he went, or whence he came; Yet there was something in his eye That won my love; I knew not why. Once, when my scanty meal was spread, He entered; not a word he spake, Just perishing for want of bread. I gave him all; he blessed it, brake, And ate, but gave me part again. Mine was an angel’s portion then, For while I fed with eager haste, The crust was manna to my taste. I spied him where a fountain burst Clear from the rock; his strength was gone. The heedless water mocked his thirst; He heard it, saw it hurrying on. I ran and raised the suff’rer up; Thrice from the stream he drained my cup, Dipped and returned it running o’er; I drank and never thirsted more. ’Twas night; the floods were out; it blew A winter hurricane aloof. I heard his voice abroad and flew To bid him welcome to my roof. I warmed and clothed and cheered my guest And laid him on my couch to rest; Then made the earth my bed, and seemed In Eden’s garden while I dreamed. Stripped, wounded, beaten nigh to death, I found him by the highway side. I roused his pulse, brought back his breath, Revived his spirit, and supplied Wine, oil, refreshment—he was healed. I had myself a wound concealed, But from that hour forgot the smart, And peace bound up my broken heart. In pris’n I saw him next, condemned To meet a traitor’s doom at morn. The tide of lying tongues I stemmed, And honored him ’mid shame and scorn. My friendship’s utmost zeal to try, He asked if I for him would die. The flesh was weak; my blood ran chill, But my free spirit cried, “I will!” Then in a moment to my view The stranger started from disguise. The tokens in His hands I knew; The Savior stood before mine eyes. He spake, and my poor name He named, “Of Me thou hast not been ashamed. These deeds shall thy memorial be; Fear not, thou didst them unto Me.”

Delivered thus from Satan’s snare He starts, as from a sleep; His Savior’s look he could not bear, But hasted forth to weep. But sure the faithful cock had crowed A hundred times in vain; Had not the Lord that look bestowed, The meaning to explain.

Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ’Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to me Thy grace.

Grim death, with cruel rigor, hath robbed Thee of Thy life; Thus Thou hast lost Thy vigor, Thy strength in this sad strife.

O Lord of Life, desiring Thy glory now to see, Beside Thy cross expiring, I’d breathe my soul to Thee. My Savior, be Thou near me when death is at my door; Then let Thy presence cheer me, forsake me nevermore! When soul and body languish, oh, leave me not alone, But take away mine anguish by virtue of Thine own!

  Sealed was the tomb, guarded by soldiers, Brightly the moonlight shone around; Roadway and hill gleamed in the brightness, Flooded with light the garden’s bound. Brighter the light seen ’neath the olives; Forms bright as sunlight, ’mid the trees, Soldiers were there, clad as for warfare; Lo! they are gone, and who are these? See yonder, hast’ning to the city, The trembling soldiers in terror go! Earthquake astounding, strange light surrounding, Drive them away these things to show. Refrain O wonderful light in the garden, That fadeth not away! The King Who was laid in the shadow With vict’ry is crowned this glorious day. Darkly they plan; falsely as darkly, Stories that He was borne away— Borne by His friends, poor weak disciples, Stol’n when the moon was bright as day! Soldiers of Rome ne’er slept on duty, False was the tale for silver told; Death could not hold that mighty Victor! Lift up your heads, ye gates of gold! The morn of glory hath awakened, And death no longer holds boundless pow’r; Empty the prison, Jesus has risen; Time hath no richer, grander hour. Refrain

  Lift up, lift up your voices now! The whole wide world rejoices now; The Lord has triumphed gloriously, The Lord shall reign victoriously. In vain with stone the cave they barred; In vain the watch kept ward and guard; Majestic from the spoilèd tomb, In pomp of triumph Christ is come. And all He did, and all He bare, He gives us as our own to share; And hope, and joy and peace begin, For Christ has won, and man shall win. O Victor, aid us in the fight, And lead through death to realms of light; We safely pass where Thou hast trod; In Thee we die to rise to God. Thy flock, from sin and death set free, Glad alleluias raise to Thee; And ever with the heavenly host Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

By the sealed stone with grounded spears, The guards their vigil keep: They wist not other eyes than theirs Watch o’er the Savior’s sleep.

  Morning breaks upon the tomb; Jesus scatters all its gloom. Day of triumph through the skies; See the glorious Savior rise. Ye who are of death afraid Triumph in the scattered shade. Drive your anxious cares away; See the place where Jesus lay. Christians, dry your flowing tears Chase your unbelieving fears; Look on His deserted grave, Doubt no more His power to save.

  Refrain Sing the joy of Easter Day, The Easter triumph tell, Jesus rose on Easter Day, The Lord Who loves us well. Good Joseph had a garden; Close by that sad green hill Where Jesus died a bitter death To save mankind from ill. Refrain One evening in that garden Their faces dark with gloom, They laid the Savior’s body Within good Joseph’s tomb. Refrain There came the holy women With spices and with tears; The angels tried to comfort them, But could not calm their fears. Refrain Came Mary to that garden And sobbed with heart forlorn; She thought she heard the gardener ask “Whom seekest thou this morn?” Refrain She heard her own name spoken, And then she lost her care; All in His strength and beauty The risen Lord stood fair! Refrain Good Joseph had a garden; Amid its trees so tall The Lord Christ stood in Easter Day; He lives to save us all. Refrain And as He rose at Easter He is alive for ay, The very same Lord Jesus Christ Who hears us sing today. Refrain Go tell the Lord Christ’s message, The Easter triumph sing, Till all His waiting children know That Jesus is their King. Refrain

  Sinners, dismiss your fear, The joyful tidings hear! This the word that Jesus said, O believe, and feel it true; Christ is risen from the dead, Lives the Lord Who died for you! Haste, to His tomb repair, And see the tokens there; See the place where Jesus lay, Mark the burial cloths He wore; Angels near His relics stay, Guards of Him Who dies no more. Why then art thou cast down, Thou poor afflicted one? Full of doubts, and griefs, and fears, Look into that open grave! Died He not to dry thy tears? Rose He not thy soul to save? Know’st thou not where to find The Savior of mankind? He hath borne Himself away, He from death Himself hath freed, He on the third glorious day, Rose triumphant from the dead. To purge thy guilty stain He died, and rose again; Wherefore dost thou weep and mourn? Sinner, lift thine heart and eye, Turn thee, to thy Jesus turn, See thy loving Savior nigh. He comes His own to claim, He calls thee by thy name: Drooping soul, rejoice, rejoice, See Him there to life restored! Mary—know thy Savior’s voice, Hear it, and reply, “My Lord.”

  Sweet and clear the birds are singing, At Easter dawn. Hark, O hear, the bells are ringing, On Easter morn! And the song that they sing, That good news we hear them ring, Is “Christ the Lord is risen, is risen.” Birds, your hearts give to your singing, And feel no fear. Bells, fill all the air with ringing, Let all men hear! For the whole world is glad, And with beauty new is clad; Now Christ the Lord is risen, is risen.

  Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord, Chase all your fears away; And bow with rapture down to see The place where Jesus lay. Thus low the Lord of life was brought; Such wonders love can do: Thus cold in death that bosom lay, Which throbbed and bled for you. A moment give a loose to grief, Let grateful sorrows rise, And wash the bloody stains away, With torrents from your eyes. Then raise your eyes, and tune your songs, The Savior lives again: Not all the bolts and bars of death The Conqueror could detain. High o’er the angelic bands He rears His once dishonored head; And through unnumbered years He reigns, Who dwelt among the dead. With joy like His shall every saint His vacant tomb survey; Then rise with His ascending Lord To realms of endless day.

The wounds before their eyes displayed They see in living light arrayed, And that they see they testify In open witness fearlessly. O Christ, the King of gentleness, Our several hearts do Thou possess, They we may render all our days Thy meed of thankfulness and praise. Maker of all, to Thee we pray, Fulfill in us Thy joy today; When death assails, grant, Lord, that we May share Thy Paschal victory.

  Light’s glittering morn bedecks the sky; Heav’n thunders forth its victor cry; The glad earth shouts her triumph high, And groaning hell makes wild reply. While He, the King, the mighty King, Despoiling death of all its sting, And, trampling down the powers of night, Brings forth His ransomed saints to light. His tomb of late the threefold guard Of watch and stone and seal had barred; But now, in pomp and triumph high, He comes from death to victory. The pains of hell are loosed at last; The days of mourning now are past; An angel robed in light hath said, “The Lord is risen from the dead.” Th’Apostles’ hearts were full of pain For their dear Lord so lately slain, By rebel servants doomed to die A death of cruel agony. With gentle voice the angel gave The women tidings at the grave; “Fear not, your Master shall ye see; He goes before to Galilee.” Then, hastening on their eager way The joyful tidings to convey, Their Lord they met, their living Lord, And falling at His feet adored. Th’Eleven, when they hear, with speed To Galilee forthwith proceed, That there once more they may behold The Lord’s dear face, as He foretold.

Refrain “Come, oh, come to Me,” said Jesus, Come and I will give you rest, I will take away the burden From the heavy laden breast. No matter who the wand’rer, Nor how far he’s gone astray, Behold, whosoever cometh, I will comfort him today. I was working in the temple With the Savior by my side, Where the multitude assembled, In its misery and pride; Glancing upward from my labor I just caught His distant smile, “You have placed your work between us, Come and talk with Me awhile.” Refrain Many early friends had left me, While the vacant room and chair, Were reminders of the prices I had paid down to be there; I was brooding o’er my losses When the Savior spoke to me, “You have let your sorrows settle, Like a cloud ’tween Me and thee.” Refrain Then I saw at once that Jesus Could be better far than all; He could lighten up the pathway, Could surround me like a wall; He could take the place of loved ones, Wipe the falling tears away, Turn my sorrows into laughter, Change the night-tide into day. Refrain So I heard the Savior calling, “Come thou weary one away,” And my answer quickly followed, “Lord, I’m coming home today”; Now His loving arms are round me, And my head is on His breast, While I catch His faintest whisper, And my spirit is at rest.

He shows us the examples, Of how we should respond, In Scripture stories glorious Of servants now long gone. Like Samuel in the temple, When came the midnight call, Obedient to his master, He hurried down the hall. Not fully understanding, Ignoring any fears, He gave courageous answer, “Speak, Lord, Your servant hears.” Like Gideon of Manasseh, We think ourselves too small, But God the Lord is with us, A tower that cannot fall. We need no mighty army, No weapons made of man; Watch God supply the helpers, And then reveal the plan. As Abraham gave Isaac, As parents so may we Be asked to give our children For service full and free. If asked, then, do not falter, But send them on their way To spread the wondrous tidings, That night may turn to day. As Moses stood in Egypt, And God gave words to speak, So will He give us boldness, Though we be frail and weak. His Spirit will empower us To reach the sinner’s heart And bring the lost to Jesus, As destined from the start. Like Samson consecrated, If we stay true to God, He gives us strength and power, The Spirit’s mighty rod. But if we fall away, then, Our weakness will return; So pray, stay loyal, faithful, And God His might will lend. Like Paul, there may be suffering, And heavy the demands, But heed not the rejection, And hold to His commands. “Teach all that I have taught you, As witnesses be true; Tell all the world My Gospel, And I will be with you.”

  O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling, To tell to all the world that God is light, That He who made all nations is not willing One soul should perish, lost in shades of night. Refrain Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace; Tidings of Jesus, redemption and release. Behold how many thousands still are lying Bound in the darksome prison house of sin, With none to tell them of the Savior’s dying, Or of the life He died for them to win. Refrain Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation That God, in Whom they live and move, is love; Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation, And died on earth that we might live above. Refrain ’Tis thine to save from peril of perdition The souls for whom the Lord His life laid down: Beware lest, slothful to fulfill thy mission, Thou lose one jewel that should deck His crown. Refrain Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious; Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way; Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious; O Zion, haste to bring the brighter day. Refrain He comes again! O Zion, ere thou meet Him, Make known to every heart His saving grace: Let none whom he Hath ransomed fail to greet Him, Through thy neglect, unfit to see His face. Refrain

  O’er continent and ocean, From city, field, and wood, Still speak, O Lord, Thy messengers Of peace and brotherhood. In Athens and Benares, In Rome and Galilee, They fronted kings and conquerors, And taught mankind of Thee. We hear, O Lord, these voices, And hail them as Thine own, They speak as speak the winds and tides On planets far and lone. One God, the Life of Ages, One rule, His will above, One realm our wide humanity, One law, the law of love. The tribes and nations falter In rivalries of fear; The fires of hate to ashes turn, To dust the sword and spear. Thy Word alone remaineth; That word we speak again; O’er sea and shore and continent, To all the sons of men.

The lost is found!” Come then, ye sinners, to your Lord, In Christ to paradise restored; His proffered benefits embrace, The plenitude of Gospel grace. A pardon written with His blood, The favor and the peace of God; The seeing eye, the feeling sense, The mystic joys of penitence. The godly grief, the pleasing smart, The meltings of a broken heart, The tears that tell your sins forgiven, The sighs that waft your souls to heaven. The guiltless shame, the sweet distress, The unutterable tenderness, The genuine, meek humility, The wonder, “Why such love to me?” The overwhelming power of saving grace, The sight that veils the seraph’s face; The speechless awe that dares not move, And all the silent heaven of love.

  Souls in death and darkness lying, Where no light has broken through; Souls that Jesus bought by dying, Whom His soul in travail knew; Thousand voices call us o’er the waters blue; Thousand voices call us o’er the waters blue. Christians, hearken! None has taught them Of His love so deep and dear; Of the precious price that bought them: Of the nail, the thorn, the spear. Ye who know Him, guide them from their darkness drear; Ye who know Him, guide them from their darkness drear. Still the earth hath cruel places, Wrath, and hate, and vengeance grim, Still God looks on human faces Heavenward turned, but not to Him; Slaves in bondage, worse than of fettered limb; Slaves in bondage, worse than of fettered limb. Haste, oh, haste, and spread the tidings Wide to earth’s remotest strand. Let no brother’s bitter chidings Rise against us when we stand In the judgment, from some far, forgotten land; In the judgment, from some far, forgotten land.

From Thee our being we receive, The creatures of Thy grace; And, raised out of the earth, we live To sing our Maker’s praise. Thy powerful, wise, and loving mind Did our creation plan; And all the glorious Persons joined To form Thy favorite, man. Again Thou didst, in council met, Thy ruined work restore, Established in our first estate, To forfeit it no more. And when we rise in love renewed, Our souls resemble Thee, An image of the Triune God, To all eternity.

  Darkness may o’ertake me and my song forsake me, But alone I never shall be; For the Friend beside me promised He would guide me, And will keep His promise to me. Refrain He will keep his promise to me, All the way with me He will go; He has never broken any promise spoken; He will keep His promise, I know. Should misfortune meet me, friends may fail to greet me, But if true to Jesus I stay He will still uphold me, let His love enfold me Every dreary mile of the way. Refrain How the thought enthralls me, that whate’er befalls me One will always love me the same; Not a trial ever causes Him to sever From the ones who honor His Name. Refrain

  Holy Trinity, thanks and praise to Thee, That our life and whole salvation Flow from Christ’s blest incarnation, And His death for us on the shameful cross. Had we angels’ tongues, with seraphic songs, Bowing hearts and knees before Thee, Triune God, we would adore Thee In the highest strain for the Lamb once slain.

  I cannot drift beyond Thy love, Beyond Thy tender care; Where’er I stray, still from above Thine eye beholds me there. I cannot drift so far away But what Thy love divine Upon my path, by night and day, In mercy sweet doth shine.

  I have made my choice forever; I will walk with Christ my Lord. Naught from Him my soul can sever while I’m trusting in His Word. I the lonely ways have taken, rough and toilsome though it be; And although despised, forsaken, Jesus I’ll go through with Thee. Though the garden lies before me, and the scornful judgment hall, Though the gloom of deepest midnight settles round me like a pall, Darkness can affright me never; from Thy presence shadows flee. And if Thou wilt guide me ever, Jesus, I’ll go through with Thee. Though the earth may rock and tremble, though the sun may hide its face, Though my foes may be strong and ruthless, still I dare to trust Thy grace. Though the cross my path o’ershadow, Thou didst bear it once for me. And whate’er the pain or peril, Jesus, I’ll go through with Thee. When the conflict here is ended, and the weary journey done; When the last grim foe is conquered, and the final victory won; When the pearly gates swing open, and an entrance full and free Shall be granted to the victors, Jesus, I’ll go through with Thee.
