In the shelter of the fold.

Far off from the gates of gold.

I go to the desert to find My sheep.”But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed;

Ere He found His sheep that was lost.

That mark out the mountain’s track?”

Ere the Shepherd could bring him back.”

And up from the rocky steep,

We hand in hand go on.The gift which He on one bestows,
We all delight to prove;
The grace through every vessel flows,
In purest streams of love.E’en now we think and speak the same,
And cordially agree;
Concentered all, through Jesus’ Name,
In perfect harmony.We all partake the joy of one;
The common peace we feel;
A peace to sensual minds unknown,
A joy unspeakable.And if our fellowship below
In Jesus be so sweet,
What height of rapture shall we know
When round His throne we meet!Play source: Cyberhymnal -

To blend my pleading prayer with Thine;

With radiant glory crowned,
Our joyful eyes behold Him sit,
And smile on all around.To Him their prayers and cries
Each humble soul presents:
He listens to their broken sighs,
And grants them all their wants.To them His sovereign will
He graciously imparts;
And in return accepts, with smiles,
The tribute of their hearts.Give me, O Lord, a place
Within Thy blest abode,
Among the children of Thy grace,
The servants of my God.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Throughout the earth no rest is found,
And falsehood’s spirit wide has spread,
And error boldly rears its head.The haughty spirits, Lord, restrain
Who o’er Thy Church with might would reign
And always set forth something new,
Devised to change Thy doctrine true.And since the cause and glory, Lord,
Are Thine, not ours, to us afford
Thy help and strength and constancy,
With all our heart we trust in Thee.A trusty weapon is Thy Word,
Thy Church’s buckler, shield, and sword.

We here may live and die, dear Lord;

That centres the thoughts, so none can depart,
From worshipping Jesus, from praising His name

Who stand in His house, a wonderful sight

The seat of His mercy, where praises all blend.Say “Yes” to His praise, and “Yes” for His love
Speak often of peace that comes from above.
Call mercy, a river, watch grace flowing through

The dumb men talk and sing,
And from blind eyes, benighted long,
Bright beams of morning spring?O where is He that trod the sea,
O where is He that spake,
And piercing words of liberty
The deaf ears open shake;
And mildest words arrest the haste
Of fever’s deadly fire,
And strong ones heal the weak who waste
Their life in sad desire?O where is He that trod the sea,
O where is He that spake,
And dark waves rolling heavily
A glassy smoothness take;
And lepers, whose own flesh has been
A solitary grave,
See with amaze that they are clean,
And cry, “’Tis He can save”?O where is He that trod the sea?
’Tis only He can save;
To thousands hungering wearily
A wondrous meal He gave;
Full soon, celestially fed,
Their rustic fare they take;
’Twas springtide when He blest the bread,
And harvest when He brake.O where is He that trod the sea?
My soul, the Lord is here:
Let all thy fears be hushed in thee;
To leap, to look, to hear
Be thine: thy needs He’ll satisfy.

Which filled the bright courts where Thy chosen ones bowed;

Which beams on the soul and illumines the face.O come in the power of Thy life giving Word,

Rock of His Church, for ages

Whose glorious Master-Builder

Famed heralds to the world,
Who, preaching Christ, His banner
Of victory unfurled;

Night utters speech to night;
So these to earth’s four corners
Their wondrous tale recite.Christ’s burden light they proffer,
His easy yoke proclaim;
The seed of life they scatter,
That all may own His Name.
The earth brought forth and budded,
Where’er their ploughshare ran,
And fruits of increase followed
The faith of God made Man.These are the sure foundation
On which the Temple stands;
The living stones compacting
That house not made with hands;
The gates by which man enters
Jerusalem the new;
The bond which knits together
The Gentile and the Jew.Let error flee before them,
Let truth extend her way;
Let dread of final judgment
To faith and love give way;

[Mat 20:21] Two Brothers Freely Cast Their Lot
Two brothers freely cast their lot
With David’s royal Son;
The cost of conquest counting not,
They deem the battle won.Brothers in heart, they hope to gain
An undivided joy,
That man may one with man remain,
As boy was one with boy.Christ heard; and willed that James should fall
First prey of Satan’s rage;
John linger out his fellows all,
And die in bloodless age.Now they join hands once more above
Before the Conqueror’s throne!
Thus God grants prayer; but in His love
Makes times and ways His own.All glory to the Father be,
All glory to the Son,
All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee
While endless ages run.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 20:22] Son Of God Goes Forth To War, The
The Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain;
His blood red banner streams afar:
Who follows in His train?
Who best can drink his cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears his cross below,
He follows in His train.That martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave;
Who saw his Master in the sky,
And called on Him to save.
Like Him, with pardon on His tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong:
Who follows in His train?A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came;
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant’s brandished steel,
The lion’s gory mane;
They bowed their heads the death to feel:
Who follows in their train?A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Savior’s throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of Heav’n,
Through peril, toil and pain;
O God, to us may grace be given,
To follow in their train.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 20:23] Oh! What, If We Are Christ’s
Oh! what, if we are Christ’s,
Is earthly shame or loss?
Bright shall the crown of glory be
When we have borne the cross.Keen was the trial once,
Bitter the cup of woe,
When martyred saints, baptized in blood,
Christ’s suffeirngs shared below:Bright is their glory now,
Boundless their joy above,
Where, on the bosom of their God,
They rest in perfect love.Lord, may that grace be ours,
Like them in faith to bear
All that of sorrow, grief or pain
May be our portion here.Enough if Thou at last
The word of blessing give,
And let us rest beneath Thy feet,
Where saints and angels live.All glory, Lord, to Thee,
Whom Heav’n and earth adore;
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
One God forevermore.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 20:34] Jesus, Full Of All Compassion
Jesus, Jesus, full of all compassion,
Hear Thy humble suppliant’s cry;
Let me know Thy great salvation,
See, I languish, faint and die.Guilty, but with heart relenting,
Overwhelmed with helpless grief,
Prostrate at Thy feet repining,
Send, O send me quick relief.Whither should a wretch be flying,
But to Him Who comfort gives?
Whither, from the dread of dying,
But to Him Who ever lives?While I view Thee, wounded, grieving,
Breathless, on the cursèd tree,
Fain, I’d feel my heart believing,
That Thou sufferedst thus for me.With Thy righteousness and Spirit,
I am more than angels blest;
Heir with Thee, all things inherit,
Peace, and joy, and endless rest.Saved! The deed shall spread new glory
Through the shining realms above;
Angels sing the pleasing story,
All enraptured with Thy love.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Outside the Holy City
Unnumbered footsteps throng,
And crowded mart and streets of trade
Fling back a swelling song.
The voices echo nearer,
In flaming hope they sing:
“Throw down your branches at His feet!
Hosanna to the King!”Once more beside a city
The Son of David waits,
Once more the children throng to bring
A welcome at the gates.
Within are hearts sore burdened
And feet that go astray;
O Christ of God, come near and walk
Our city streets today!The branches that we offer
Are no unmeaning sign;
Take Thou the hands we lift on high
And make them wholly Thine.
No songs of shallow welcome
Are these we raise to Thee;
O give us faith to face the cross
And set Thy city free!A distant music mingles
With all our songs today,
The chorale from a city fair
Where sin has passed away.
There rides the Christ triumphant
And victor songs ring clear;
O God, give us the strength to build
With Christ that city here!Play source: Cyberhymnal -

The Son of David bowed to die,
For man’s transgression stricken;
The Father’s arm of power was nigh,
The Son of God to quicken.
Praise Him that He died for men:
Praise Him that He rose again.Death seemed all conquering when he bound
The Lord of life in prison;
The sight of death was nowhere found
When Christ again was risen;
Wherefore praise Him night and day,
Him Who took death’s sting away.His saints with Him must bow to death,
With Him are raised in spirit,
With Him they dwell above by faith,
Accepted through His merit:
Heaven and earth resound the strain,
Death by Jesus Christ is slain.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

In the vineyard of our Father
Daily work we find to do;
Scattered fruit our hands may gather,
Though we are but weak and few;
Little clusters
Help to fill the basket, too.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;
