Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869 Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 522 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-3 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I long to take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land,
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat
and the burdens of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus,
my eye at times can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me.
And from my contrite heart, with tears,
two wonders I confess:
the wonder of his glorious love
and my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, your shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine
than the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all, the cross.

Blessed Feasts of Blessed Martyrs
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-3 Lyrics: 1 Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs,
holy women, holy men,
with our love and admiration,
greet we your return again.
Worthy deeds are theirs, and wonders,
worthy of the name they bore;
we, with joyful praise and singing,
honour them for evermore.
2 Faith prevailing, hope unfailing,
loving Christ with single heart,
thus they, glorious and victorious
bravely bore the martyr's part
by contempt of every anguish,
by unyielding battle done;
victors at the last, they triumph
with the host of angels one.
3 Therefore, all that reign in glory,
strong and sure with Christ on high,
join to ours your supplication
when before him we draw nigh,
praying that, this life completed,
all its fleeting moments past,
by his grace we may be worthy
of eternal bliss at last. Topics: Martyrs; The Saints Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA Text Sources: Latin (12th cent.)

Our hearts in Christian love:
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.

We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims, are one,
Our comforts and our cares.

Our mutual burdens bear,
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

And sin, we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
Amen. Topics: Church, The; Communion of Saints; Fellowship; Unity; Church, The Christian Fellowship Used With Tune: DENNIS

And for our pardon, pleads his blood. Topics: Patriarchal Types, and Prophecies of Christ

The fruits of righteousness." Topics: Benefit of afflictions

Brief Life Is Here Our Portion
Author: John M. Neale; Bernard of Morlas Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 245 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:14 Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion;
Brief sorrow, short-lived care.
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life, is there.
O happy retribution:
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the blest!
2 And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown;
And now we watch and struggle,
And now we live in hope,
And Zion in her anguish
With Babylon must cope.
3 But He whom now we trust in
Shall then be seen and known;
And they that know and see Him
Shall have Him for their own.
And there is David's fountain
And life in fullest glow;
And there the light is golden,
And milk and honey flow.
4 The morning shall awaken,
And shadows shall decay,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.
There God, our King and Portion,
In fullness of His grace
Shall we behold forever,
And worship face to face.
5 O sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country
That eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest,
Who art, with God the Father
And Spirit, ever blest.
Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Christian Warfare Used With Tune: EWING
