• [Mat 18:2] Dear To The Heart Of The Shepherd

  Dear to the heart of the Shepherd, Dear are the sheep of His fold; Dear is the love that He gives them, Dearer than silver or gold. Dear to the heart of the Shepherd, Dear are His “other” lost sheep; Over the mountains He follows, Over the waters so deep. Refrain Out in the desert they wander, Hungry and helpless and cold; Off to the rescue He hastens, Bringing them back to the fold. Dear to the heart of the Shepherd, Dear are the lambs of His fold; Some from the pastures are straying, Hungry and helpless and cold. See, the good Shepherd is seeking, Seeking the lambs that are lost; Bringing them in with rejoicing, Saved at such infinite cost. Refrain Dear to the heart of the Shepherd, Dear are the “ninety and nine”; Dear are the sheep that have wandered, Out in the desert to pine. Hark! He is earnestly calling, Tenderly pleading today; “Will you not seek for My lost ones, Off from My shelter astray?” Refrain Green are the pastures inviting, Sweet are the waters and “still”; Lord, we will answer Thee gladly, “Yes, blessèd Master, we will! Make us Thy true under-shepherds, Give us a love that is deep; Send us out into the desert, Seeking Thy wandering sheep.” Refrain

• [Mat 18:2] Father, Who Hast Gathered

  Father, who hast gathered This dear child to rest, Unto Thee we yield him, Sure Thou knowest best. Thou, O Lord, who gavest, Dost Thine own reclaim; Thou, O Lord, hast taken— Blessèd still Thy Name! Thine by right creative, By redemption Thine, By regeneration And the holy sign. Thou Who didst endow him With baptismal grace, Now in love hast brought him To behold Thy face. Safe from all earth’s sorrow, Safe from all its pains, Now this child of Adam, Paradise regains: Safe from all temptation, Safe from fear of sin, Through the blood of sprinkling Holy, bright and clean. Lay we this dear body In the earth to sleep, His sweet soul commending Unto Thee to keep: Looking for the dawning Of that deathless day, When all earthly shadows Shall have fled away. Only grant us, Father, Courage in our strife, And with him a portion In unending life.

  Dear Savior, if these lambs should stray, From Thy secure enclosure’s bound, And, lured by worldly joys away, Among the thoughtless crowd be found, Remember still that they are Thine, That Thy dear sacred Name they bear, Think that the seal of love divine The sign of covenant grace they wear. In all their erring, sinful years, Oh, let them ne’er forgotten be; Remember all the prayers and tears Which made them consecrate to Thee. And when these lips no more can pray, These eyes can weep for them no more, Turn Thou their feet from folly’s way, The wanderers to Thy fold restore.

• [Mat 18:13] Ninety And Nine, The

  There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelter of the fold. But one was out on the hills away, Far off from the gates of gold. Away on the mountains wild and bare. Away from the tender Shepherd’s care. 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! I have found My sheep!” And the angels echoed around the throne, “Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own! Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own!”

  All praise to our redeeming Lord, Who joins us by His grace; And bids us, each to each restored, Together seek His face. He bids us build each other up; And, gathered into one, To our high calling’s glorious hope, 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!

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.

First let me hear how the children stood round His knee, And I shall fancy His blessing resting on me; Words full of kindness, deeds full of grace, All in the love light of Jesus’ face. Tell me, in accents of wonder, how rolled the sea, Tossing the boat in a tempest on Galilee; And how the Maker, ready and kind, Chided the billows, and hushed the wind. Into the city I’d follow the children’s band, Waving a branch of the palm tree high in my hand. One of His heralds, yes, I would sing Loudest hosannas, “Jesus is King!” Show me that scene in the garden, of bitter pain. Show me the cross where my Savior for me was slain. Sad ones or bright ones, so that they be Stories of Jesus, tell them to me.

• [Mat 19:14] When Mothers Of Salem

  When mothers of Salem their children brought to Jesus, The stern disciples drove them back and bade them to depart: But Jesus saw them ere they fled and sweetly smiled and kindly said, “Suffer little children to come unto Me.” “For I will receive them and fold them to My bosom: I’ll be a shepherd to these lambs, O drive them not away; For if their hearts to Me they give, they shall with Me in glory live: Suffer little children to come unto Me.” How kind was our Savior to bid these children welcome! But there are many thousands who have never heard His Name; The Bible they have never read, they know not that the Savior said, “Suffer little children to come unto Me.” O soon may the heathen of every tribe and nation Fulfill Thy blessèd Word and cast their idols all away! O shine upon them from above and show Thyself a God of love, Teach the little children to come unto Thee!

• [Mat 19:28] In Royal Robes Of Splendor

  In royal robes of splendor, Before the great King’s feet, The princes of His kingdom, The crowned Apostles, meet; To Him their songs adoring With heart and tongue they bring, Pure hearts and mighty voices— E’en as the angels sing. This Order sheds its luster O’er all the human race; A court of righteous judgment, The rock of Gospel grace; Rock of His Church, for ages Elected and foreknown; Whose glorious Master-Builder Is Head and Cornerstone. These are the Nazareans, Famed heralds to the world, Who, preaching Christ, His banner Of victory unfurled; Day unto day shows knowledge; 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; That, loosed from our offenses, We then may numbered be Among Thy saints in glory Around the throne with Thee.

  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.

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.

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.
