• [Mat 16:27] Last Mile Of The Way, The

  If I walk in the pathway of duty, If I work till the close of the day; I shall see the great King in His beauty, When I’ve gone the last mile of the way. Refrain When I’ve gone the last mile of the way, I will rest at the close of the day, And I know there are joys that await me, When I’ve gone the last mile of the way. If for Christ I proclaim the glad story, If I seek for His sheep gone astray, I am sure He will show me His glory, When I’ve gone the last mile of the way. Refrain Here the dearest of ties we must sever, Tears of sorrow are seen ev’ry day; But no sickness, no sighing forever, When I’ve gone the last mile of the way. Refrain And if here I have earnestly striven, And have tried all His will to obey, ’Twill enhance all the rapture of Heaven, When I’ve gone the last mile of the way. Refrain

• [Mat 24:3] Jesus, Thy Church With Longing Eyes

  Jesus, Thy church with longing eyes For Thine expected coming waits: When will the promised Light arise, And glory beam from Zion’s gates? E’en now, when tempests round us fall, And wintry clouds o’ercast the sky, Thy words with pleasure we recall, And deem that our redemption’s nigh. Come, gracious Lord, our hearts renew, Our foes repel, our wrongs redress, Man’s rooted enmity subdue, And crown Thy Gospel with success. O come, and reign o’er every land; Let Satan from his throne be hurled; Let nations bow to Thy command, And grace revive a dying world. Teach us in watchfulness and prayer To wait for the appointed hour; And fit us for Thy grace to share The triumph of Thy conquering power.

• [Mat 24:3] There Is A Mighty Question

  There is a mighty question we ask when nations rage: Just when will be Christ’s coming, the ending of the age? Take care, said Jesus clearly, for many will appear; They’ll claim to be Messiah, yet people should not fear. For in the days of Noah, the people went along In eating and in drinking, in merriment and song— Then suddenly the world changed with great, surprising power; So too will be Christ’s coming, and no one knows the hour. So keep awake and watchful; salvation is at hand! Our hope is in Christ Jesus, and by God’s grace we stand. The night is almost over, we wait for God’s new day, And through the Holy Spirit, we follow Jesus’ way. Be ready in your living, for when you feed the poor, Or give to thirsty children the water they long for, And when you welcome strangers and help the ones in need, Christ says: “Receive my kingdom, for you are serving me.”

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.

Refrain Watch and pray, nor leave our post of duty, Till we hear the Bridegroom’s voice: Then, with Him the marriage feast partaking, We shall evermore rejoice. Refrain

• [Mrk 13:34] Oh, What Are You Going To Do?

  Oh, what are you going to do, brother? Say, what are you going to do? You have thought of some useful labor, But what is the end in view? You are fresh from the home of your boyhood, And just in the bloom of youth! Have you tasted the sparkling water, That flows from the fount of truth? Is your heart in the Savior’s keeping? Remember, He died for you! Then what are you going to do, brother? Say, what are you going to do? Will you honor His cause and kingdom, Wherever your path may be? And stand as a bright example, That others your light may see? Are you willing to live for Jesus? And ready the cross to bear? Are you willing to meet reproaches? The frowns of the world to share? Your lot may perhaps be humble, But God has a work for you! Then what are you going to do, brother? Say, what are you going to do? Oh, what are you going to do, brother? The morning of youth is past; The vigor and strength of manhood, My brother, are yours at last. You are rising in worldly prospects, And prospered in earthly things: A duty to those less favored The smile of your fortune brings. Go prove that your heart is grateful— The Lord has a work for you! Then what are you going to do, brother? Say, what are you going to do? Oh, what are you going to do, brother? Your sun at its noon is high! It shines in meridian splendor, And rides through a cloudless sky. You are holding a high position Of honor, of trust, and fame; Are you willing to give the glory And praise to your Savior’s Name? The regions that sit in darkness Are stretching their hands to you; Then, what are you going to do, brother? Say, what are you going to do? Oh, what are you going to do, brother? The twilight approaches now; Already your locks are silvered, And winter is on your brow. Your talents, your time, your riches, To Jesus, your Master, give; Then ask if the world around you Is better because you live. You are nearing the brink of Jordan, But still there is work for you; Then, what are you going to do, brother? Say, what are you going to do?

Soundeth the Heaven of the heavens with His Name; Ringeth the earth with His glory and fame; Ocean and mountain, stream, forest, and flower Echo His praises and tell of His power. Past are the darkness, the storm, and the war, Come is the radiance, that sparkles afar, Breaketh the gleam of the day without end, Riseth the Sun that shall never descend. Ever ascendeth the song and the joy; Ever descendeth the love from on high; Blessing and honor and glory and praise, This is the theme of the hymns that we raise. Life of all life, and true Light of all light, Star of the dawning unchangingly bright, Sun of the Salem whose light is the Lamb, Theme of the ever new, ever glad psalm!

Rise to adore the mystery of love Which hosts of angels chanted from above, With them the joyful tidings first begun Of God incarnate and the virgin’s Son. Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, Who heard th’angelic herald’s voice, “Behold, I bring good tidings of a Savior’s birth To you and all the nations of the earth; This day hath God fulfilled His promised Word; This day is born a Savior, Christ the Lord.” He spoke; and straightaway the celestial choir In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire; The praises of redeeming love they sang, And Heav’n’s whole orb with alleluias rang. God’s highest glory was their anthem still, Peace on the earth and unto men good will. To Bethl’hem straight th’enlightened shepherds ran To see the wonder God had wrought for man And found, with Joseph and the blessèd maid, Her Son, the Savior, in a manger laid; Then to their flocks, still praising God, return, And their glad hearts with holy rapture burn. Like Mary let us ponder in our mind God’s wondrous love in saving lost mankind! Trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss, From His poor manger to His bitter cross, Tread in His steps, assisted by His grace, Till man’s first heav’nly state again takes place. Then may we hope, th’angelic hosts among, To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song. He that was born upon this joyful day Around us all His glory shall display.

They lookèd up and saw a star Shining in the east, beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night.

Refrain This star drew nigh to the northwest, Over Bethlehem it took its rest; And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. Refrain Then did they know assuredly Within that house the King did lie; One entered it them for to see, And found the Babe in poverty. Refrain Then entered in those Wise Men three, Full reverently upon the knee, And offered there, in His presence, Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing!

Their sheep still follow, bleating; And all that hear the shepherds’ song, With burning heart and tingling tongue, Send on the angelic greeting— Refrain And every Christmas-tide, that song More numerous sounds, and yet more strong; From age to age, from pole to pole, It rolls along, and yet shall roll: Till, crowned with splendor glorious, That Babe shall come again, a King, And saints and angels all shall sing, In endless, boundless chorus— Refrain

Refrain O tell me the story that never grows old, The story the Gospels repeat manifold; The love and compassion in Jesus we trace, The power and patience, the glory and grace. Refrain O tell me the story that never grows old, The story the ages to come will unfold; The kindness of God in redeeming the lost, The death of our Savior in paying the cost. Refrain

• [Luk 2:8] To Thee, O God, The Shepherd Kings

  To Thee, O God, the shepherd kings Their earliest homage paid, And wafted upon angel wings Their worship was conveyed. And they who “watched their flocks by night” Were first to learn Thy grace, Were first to seek by dawning light, Their Savior’s dwelling place. The hills and vales, the woods and streams, The fruits and flowers, are Thine; Where’er the sun can send its beams Or the mild moon can shine. By Thee, the spring puts forth its leaves, By Thee, comes down the rain, By Thee, the yellow harvest sheaves Stand ripening on the plain. When winter comes in storm and wrath, Thy soothing voice is heard; As round the farmer’s peaceful hearth Is read Thy holy Word. Thus are we fostered by Thy care, Supported by Thy hand; Our heritage is rich and fair, And this Thy chosen land.

• [Luk 2:8] While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

  While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around, And glory shone around. “Fear not!” said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind. “Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind To you and all mankind. “To you, in David’s town, this day Is born of David’s line A Savior, who is Christ the Lord, And this shall be the sign, And this shall be the sign. “The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid, And in a manger laid.” Thus spake the seraph and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels praising God on high, Who thus addressed their song, Who thus addressed their song: “All glory be to God on high, And to the Earth be peace; Good will henceforth from Heaven to men Begin and never cease, Begin and never cease!”

• [Luk 2:8] While Their Flocks The Shepherds Tended

  While their flocks the shepherds tended, Heavenly hosts to earth descended, Singing, with all voices blended, “Fear not, Christ is born today.” Eastern seers rich gifts had wrought Him, Gold, frankincense, myrrh they brought Him; Guided by a star they sought Him, Prince of Life and Victory. On that Child with Mary gazing, Join ye Christians all in raising Songs to Him whom Heaven is praising, God incarnate come to men. From this day’s first dawn to even, Praise to Christ our King be given By all earth, and all in Heaven, In our sweetest, loftiest praise.

Ibrani 9:28

• [Ibr 9:28] One Day

  One day when Heaven was filled with His praises, One day when sin was as black as could be, Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin, Dwelt among men, my Example is He! Refrain Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me; Buried, He carried my sins far away; Rising, He justified freely forever; One day He’s coming—O glorious day! One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain, One day they nailed Him to die on the tree; Suffering anguish, despised and rejected: Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He! Refrain One day they left Him alone in the garden, One day He rested, from suffering free; Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil; Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He! Refrain One day the grave could conceal Him no longer, One day the stone rolled away from the door; Then He arose, over death He had conquered; Now is ascended, my Lord evermore! Refrain One day the trumpet will sound for His coming, One day the skies with His glories will shine; Wonderful day, my belovèd ones bringing; Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine! Refrain

• [Ibr 9:28] Upon The Cross Extended

  Upon the cross extended, See, world, thy Lord suspended. Thy Savior yields His breath. The Prince of Life from Heaven Himself hath freely given To shame and blows and bitter death. Come hither now and ponder, ’Twill fill thy soul with wonder, Blood streams from every pore. Through grief whose depth none knoweth, From His great heart there floweth Sigh after sigh of anguish o’er. Who is it that hath bruised Thee? Who hath so sore abused Thee And caused Thee all Thy woe? While we must make confession Of sin and dire transgression, Thou deeds of evil dost not know. I caused Thy grief and sighing By evils multiplying As countless as the sands. I caused the woes unnumbered With which Thy soul is cumbered, Thy sorrows raised by wicked hands. ’Tis I who should be smitten, My doom should here be written; Bound hand and foot in hell. The fetters and the scourging, The floods around Thee surging, ’Tis I who have deserved them well. The load Thou takest on Thee, That pressed so sorely on me, It crushed me to the ground. The cross for me enduring, The crown for me securing, My healing in Thy wounds is found. A crown of thorns Thou wearest, My shame and scorn Thou bearest, That I might ransomed be. My Bondsman, ever willing, My place with patience filling, From sin and guilt hast made me free. Thy cords of love, my Savior, Bind me to Thee forever, I am no longer mine. To Thee I gladly tender All that my life can render And all I have to Thee resign. Thy cross I’ll place before me, Its saving power be o’er me, Wherever I may be; Thine innocence revealing, Thy love and mercy sealing, The pledge of truth and constancy. How God at our transgression To anger gives expression, How loud His thunders roll, How fearfully He smiteth, How sorely He requiteth— All this Thy sufferings teach my soul. When evil men revile me, With wicked tongues defile me, I’ll curb my vengeful heart. The unjust wrong I’ll suffer, Unto my neighbor offer Forgiveness of each bitter smart. Thy groaning and Thy sighing, Thy bitter tears and dying, With which Thou was opprest— They shall, when life is ending, Be guiding and attending My way to Thine eternal rest.

• [Why 1:7] Lo, He Comes With Clouds Descending

  Lo! He comes with clouds descending, Once for favored sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending, Swell the triumph of His train: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God appears on earth to reign. Every eye shall now behold Him Robed in dreadful majesty; Those who set at naught and sold Him, Pierced and nailed Him to the tree, Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. Every island, sea, and mountain, Heav’n and earth, shall flee away; All who hate Him must, confounded, Hear the trump proclaim the day: Come to judgment! Come to judgment! Come to judgment! Come to judgment! Come away! Now redemption, long expected, See in solemn pomp appear; All His saints, by man rejected, Now shall meet Him in the air: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! See the day of God appear! Answer Thine own bride and Spirit, Hasten, Lord, the general doom! The new Heav’n and earth t’inherit, Take Thy pining exiles home: All creation, all creation, all creation, Travails! groans! and bids Thee come! The dear tokens of His passion Still His dazzling body bears; Cause of endless exultation To His ransomed worshippers; With what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture Gaze we on those glorious scars! Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne; Savior, take the power and glory, Claim the kingdom for Thine own; O come quickly! O come quickly! O come quickly! Everlasting God, come down! Lo! He cometh, countless Trumpets, Blow before his bloody Sign! ’Midst ten Thousand Saints and Angels, See the Crucified shine, Allelujah! Welcome, welcome bleeding Lamb! Now his Merits by the Harpers, Thro’ the eternal Deeps resounds! resplendent shine his Nail Prints, Ev’ry Eye shall see his Wounds! They who pierc’d Him, shall at his appearing wail. Ev’ry Island, Sea, and Mountain, Heav’n and Earth shall flee away! All who hate him must ashamed, Hear the Trump proclaim the Day: Come to Judgment! Stand before the Son of Man! All who love him view his Glory Shining in his bruised Face: His dear Person on the Rainbow, Now his Peoples Heads shall raise: Happy Mourners! Now on Clouds he comes! He comes! Now Redemption long expected, See, in solemn Pomp appear; All his People, once despised, Now shall meet him in the Air: Allelujah! Now the promis’d Kingdom’s come! View him smiling, now determin’d, Ev’ry Evil to destroy! All the nations now shall sing him, Songs of everlasting Joy! O come quickly! Allelujah! Come Lord, come!

• [Why 19:11] Come, Thou Conqueror Of The Nations

  Come, Thou Conqueror of the nations, Now on Thy white horse appear; Earthquakes, famines, desolations Signify Thy kingdom near: True and faithful! Stablish Thy dominion here. Thine the kingdom, power, and glory; Thine the ransomed nations are. Let the heathen fall before Thee, Let the isles Thy power declare. Judge and conquer All mankind in righteous war. Thee let all mankind admire, Object of our joy and dread! Flame Thine eyes with heavenly fire, Many crowns upon Thy head. But Thine essence None, except Thyself, can read. Yet we know our Mediator, By the Father’s grace bestowed; Meanly clothed in human nature, Thee we call the Word of God. Flesh Thy garment, Dipped in Thy own sacred blood. Captain, God of our salvation, Thou Who hast the wine press trod, Borne the Almighty’s indignation, Quenched the fiercest wrath of God, Take the kingdom, Claim the purchase of Thy blood. On Thy thigh and clothing written, Show the world Thy heavenly Name, That, with loving wonder smitten, All may glorify the Lamb. All adore Thee, All the Lord of hosts proclaim. Honor, glory, and salvation To the Lord our God we give. Power, and endless adoration, Thou art worthy to receive. Reign triumphant, King of kings, forever live!

Crown Him! Crown the Savior King of kings; In your hearts enthrone Him, Lord and Master own Him; Crown Him! Crown Him! While heaven exultant rings; Crown the blessèd Savior King of kings.

  Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne. Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless King through all eternity. Crown Him the virgin’s Son, the God incarnate born, Whose arm those crimson trophies won which now His brow adorn; Fruit of the mystic rose, as of that rose the stem; The root whence mercy ever flows, the Babe of Bethlehem. Crown Him the Son of God, before the worlds began, And ye who tread where He hath trod, crown Him the Son of Man; Who every grief hath known that wrings the human breast, And takes and bears them for His own, that all in Him may rest. Crown Him the Lord of life, who triumphed over the grave, And rose victorious in the strife for those He came to save. His glories now we sing, who died, and rose on high, Who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. Crown Him the Lord of peace, whose power a scepter sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end, and round His piercèd feet Fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. Crown Him the Lord of love, behold His hands and side, Those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified. No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright. Crown Him the Lord of Heaven, enthroned in worlds above, Crown Him the King to Whom is given the wondrous name of Love. Crown Him with many crowns, as thrones before Him fall; Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, for He is King of all. Crown Him the Lord of lords, who over all doth reign, Who once on earth, the incarnate Word, for ransomed sinners slain, Now lives in realms of light, where saints with angels sing Their songs before Him day and night, their God, Redeemer, King. Crown Him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou has died for me; Thy praise and glory shall not fail throughout eternity.
