Hark! the voice of Jesus crying

Author: D. March Appears in 505 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white, and harvests waiting, Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth, Rich reward He offers thee: Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I; send me, send me"? 2 If you cannot cross the ocean, And the heathen lands explore, You can find the heathen nearer, You can help them at your door. If you cannot give your thousands, You can give the widow's mite; And the least you give for Jesus Will be precious in His sight. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Offering life and peace to all; With your prayers and with your bounties You can do what heaven demands; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth-- "Here am I; send me, send me."

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Appears in 1,304 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be: Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are all my own. 2 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. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmix'd with Thee. 3 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 Saviour died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste then on from grace to glory, Arm'd by faith, and wing'd by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen.

Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 315 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face; here would I touch and handle things unseen, here grasp with firmer hand th'eternal grace, and all my weariness upon thee lay. 2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God, here drink with thee the royal wine of heav'n; here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heav'nly table spread for me; here let me feast, and feasting still prolong this hallowed hour of fellowship with thee. 4 Too soon we rise: the symbols disappear; the feast, though not the love, is past and gone; the bread and wine remove, but thou art here, nearer than ever, still my Shield and Sun. 5 I have no help but thine; nor do I need another arm save thine to lean upon; it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; my strength is in thy might, thy might alone. 6 Feast after fear thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love. 6 Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness; mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing Blood. Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace; thy Blood, thy righteousness, O Lord, my God! Scripture: Revelation 19:9 Used With Tune: LANGRAN

Lamb of God! Our Souls Adore Thee

Author: James Deck Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lamb of God! Our souls adore Thee While upon Thy face we gaze; There the Father’s love and glory Shine in all their brightest rays; Thine almighty power and wisdom All creation’s works proclaim; Heaven and earth alike confess Thee As the ever great I AM. 2. Lamb of God! Thy Father’s bosom Ever was Thy dwelling place; His delight, in Him rejoicing, One with Him in power and grace; Oh, that wondrous love and mercy— Thou didst lay Thy glory by, And for us didst come from Heaven, As the Lamb of God, to die! 3. Lamb of God! When we behold Thee Lowly in the manger laid, Wandering as a homeless stranger In the world Thy hands had made; When we see Thee in the garden, In Thine agony of blood, At Thy grace we are confounded, Holy, spotless, Lamb of God! 4. When we see Thee, as the victim, Bound for us upon the tree, For our guilt and folly stricken, All our judgment born by Thee— Lord, we own, with hearts adoring, Thou hast loved us unto blood: Glory, glory everlasting, Be to Thee, Thou Lamb of God! 5. Lamb of God, Thou soon in glory Will to this sad earth return; All Thy foes shall quake before Thee, All that now despise Thee mourn; Then Thy saints all gathered to Thee, With Thee in Thy kingdom reign; Thine the praise and Thine the glory, Lamb of God, for sinners slain.
