Stay, Master, Stay
Author: Samuel Greg, 1804-1876 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #127 (2011) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Topics: Jesus Christ Life and Ministry; Jesus Life and Ministry First Line: Stay, Master, stay upon this heavenly hill Lyrics: 1 Stay, Master, stay upon this heavenly hill;
A little longer, let us linger still;
With all the mighty ones of old beside,
Near to God’s holy presence still abide;
Before the throne of light we trembling stand,
And catch a glimpse into the spirit land.
2 Stay, Master, stay! we breathe a purer air;
This life is not the life that waits us there:
Thoughts, feelings, flashes, glimpses come and go;
We cannot speak them, nay, we do not know;
Wrapt in this cloud of light we seem to be
The things we fain would grow eternally.
3 "No!" saith the Lord, "the hour is past," we go;
Our home, our life, our duties lie below.
While here we kneel upon the mount of prayer,
The plough lies waiting in the furrow there!
Here we sought God that we might know His will;
There we must do it, serve Him, seek Him still.
4 If man aspires to reach the throne of God,
O’er the dull plains of earth must lie the road:
He who best does his lowly duty here,
Shall mount the highest in a nobler sphere:
At God’s own feet our spirits seek their rest,
And he is nearest Him who serves Him best. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:1 Languages: English Tune Title: YORKSHIRE

O Son of Man, Thou Madest Known
Author: Milton S. Littlefield, 1864-1934 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #128 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Jesus Christ Life and Ministry; Jesus Life and Ministry Lyrics: 1 O Son of Man, Thou madest known,
Through quiet work in shop and home,
The sacredness of common things,
The chance of life that each day brings.
2 O Workman true, may we fulfill
In daily life Thy Father’s will;
In duty’s call, Thy call we hear
To fuller life through work sincere.
3 Thou Master Workman, grant us grace
The challenge of our tasks to face;
By loyal scorn of second best,
By effort true, to meet each test.
4 And thus we pray in deed and word,
Thy kingdom come on earth, O Lord;
In work that gives effect to prayer,
Thy purpose for Thy world we share.
Amen.

Of the beautiful murm’ring sea;

In a moment was made to see;
The lame was made whole by the matchless skill
Of the Stranger of Galilee.

And I felt I could love Him forever,
So gracious and tender was He!
I claimed Him that day as my Savior,
This Stranger of Galilee.

They shall never forgotten be,
When sin-sick and helpless He saw me there,
This Stranger of Galilee;
He showed me His hand and His riven side,
And He whispered, “It was for thee!”
My burden fell off at the pierced feet
Of the Stranger of Galilee. (Chorus)
3 I heard Him speak peace to the angry waves,
Of that turbulent, raging sea;
And lo! at His word are the waters stilled,
This Stranger of Galilee;
A peaceful, a quiet, and holy calm,
Now and ever abides with me;
He holdeth my life in His mighty hands,
This Stranger of Galilee. (Chorus)
4 Come ye, who are driven, and tempest-tossed,
And His gracious salvation see;
He’ll quiet life’s storms with His “Peace, be still!”
This Stranger of Galilee;
He bids me to go and the story tell
What He ever to you will be,
If only you let Him with you abide,
This Stranger of Galilee.
Oh, my friend, won't you love Him forever?
So gracious and tender was He!

This Stranger of Galilee. Languages: English Tune Title: [In fancy I stood by the shore, one day]

Is by our beds of pain;
We touch Him in life’s throng and press,
And we are whole again.

Whate’er our name or sign,
We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call,
We test our lives by Thine!

glorious victory became,
and above the cross, his trophy,
tell the triumph and the fame,
tell how he, the world's Redeemer,
by his death for us o'ercame.

his appointed time fulfilled,
born for this, he meets his Passion,
for that this he freely willed:
on the cross the Lamb is lifted,
where his life-blood shall be spilled.

this world's ransom to uphold;
for a shipwrecked race preparing
harbor, like the ark of old;
with the sacred blood anointed
from the smitten Lamb that rolled.

to the Father, to the Son,
to the mighty Spirit, glory,

pow'r and glory in the highest

Tell Me the Story of Jesus

"Glory to God in the highest!
Peace and good tidings to earth."

Tell me the story of Jesus,
Write on my heart every word;
Tell me the story most precious,
Sweetest that ever was heard.

Tell of the days that are past,
How for our sins He was tempted,
Yet was triumphant at last.
Tell of the years of His labor,
Tell of the sorrow He bore,
He was despised and afflicted,
Homeless, rejected and poor. (Refrain)
3 Tell of the cross where they nailed Him,
Writhing in anguish and pain;
Tell of the grave where they laid Him,
Tell how He liveth again.
Love in that story so tender
Clearer than ever I see:
Stay, let me weep while you whisper,
Love paid the ransom for me. (Refrain)

Buried, He carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely for ever:
One day He's coming—-O, glorious day!

One day they nailed Him to die on the tree;
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected:
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He! (Chorus)
3 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 Saviour is He! (Chorus)
4 One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,
One day the stone rolled away from the door;
Then He arose, over death He has conquered;
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore! (Chorus)

One day the skies with His glories will shine;
Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing;
Glorious Saviour, this Jesus is mine! (Chorus)

Should set His love upon the sons of men,
Or why, as Shepherd, He should seek the wanderers
To bring them back, they know not how or when.
But this I know, that He was born of Mary,
When Bethlehem’s manger was His only home,
And that He lived at Nazareth and labored,
And so the Savior, Savior of the world, is come.
2 I cannot tell how silently He suffered,
As with His peace He graced this place of tears,
Or how His heart upon the cross was broken,
The crown of pain to three and thirty years.
But this I know, He heals the broken hearted,
And stays our sin and calms our lurking fear,
And lifts the burden from the heavy laden,
For yet the Savior, Savior of the world, is here.
3 I cannot tell how He will win the nations,
How He will claim His earthly heritage,
Or satisfy the needs and aspirations
Of east and west, of sinner and of sage.
But this I know, all flesh shall see His glory,
And He shall reap the harvest He has sown;
And some glad day His sun shall shine in splendor
When He the Savior, Savior of the world, is known.
4 I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship
When at His bidding every storm is stilled,
Or who can say how great the jubilation
When all the hearts of men with love are filled.
But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture,
And countless voices then will join to sing;
And earth to heaven, and heaven to earth will answer:
"At last the Savior, Savior of the world, is King!" Scripture: Psalm 64:10 Languages: English Tune Title: LONDONDERRY AIR

If Jesus Had Not Come
Author: Albert C. Norton Hymnal: Favorite Hymns of Praise #368 (1967) Topics: Christ Life and Ministry; Christ Life and Ministry First Line: If Jesus had not come, Refrain First Line: But Jesus came! Lyrics: 1 If Jesus had not come, how dark had been the night!
The wise men, sadly dumb, had seen no starry light!
The shepherds on the hill had heard no angel song!
The bells in silence chill, no joyous peal had rung!
Chorus:
But Jesus came! He came to earth,
And men beheld His manger birth!
The shepherds heard the angels sing,
The wise proclaimed Him Lord and King!
He died, He rose; and by His blood,
We too become the sons of God;
We preach the gospel in His name!
For Jesus came! Yes, Jesus came!
2 If Jesus had not come, no freedom had the slave;
No woman's happy home, no hand a child to save;
The people in the gloom had one eternal night:
Death met them at the tomb, no resurrection light! (Chorus)
3 If Jesus had not come, no Great Physician king
Had brought a healing balm, a vision for the blind!
No soul with demon torn had found a sure release!
The hopeless and forlorn had found no way of peace! (Chorus)
4 If Jesus had not come, how blank the Sacred page!
The poet had no song, and silent were the sage!
No artist to adorn our worship with delight;
No choral Psalm had borne His praises day or night! (Chorus)
5 If Jesus had not come, how sad had been our fate!
Of judgment sore the sum for all our sin and hate!
No loving God of grace His precious Son had giv'n;
No hope to see His face; no joy to meet in heaven! (Chorus) Languages: English Tune Title: [If Jesus had not come]
