Pattern of Forgiveness

Author: John H. Gurney Hymnal: Laudes Domini #156 (1890) Topics: Self-Denial; Self-Denial First Line: Lord, as to thy dear cross we flee Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to thy dear cross we flee, And pray to be forgiven, So let thy life our pattern be, And form our souls for heaven. 2 Help us, through good report and ill, Our daily cross to bear; Like thee, to do our Father's will, Our brother's griefs to share. 3 Let grace our selfishness expel, Our earthliness refine; And kindness in our bosoms dwell As free and true as thine. 4 If joy shall at thy bidding fly, And grief's dark day come on, We, in our turn, would meekly cry, "Father, thy will be done!" 5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife, Forgiving and forgiven, Oh, may we lead the pilgrim's life, And follow thee to heaven!

"The wondrous Cross"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #169 (1890) Topics: Self-Denial; Self-Denial First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord! that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 His dying crimson, like a robe, Spreads o'er his body on the tree; Then I am dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me. 5 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

"Not your own"

Author: Mrs. E. S. Alderson Hymnal: Laudes Domini #464 (1890) Topics: Self-Denial; Self-Denial First Line: Lord of glory! thou hast bought us Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory! thou hast bought us, With thy life-blood as the price, Never trudging, for the lost ones, That tremendous sacrifice. 2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord! to yield thee Gladly, freely, of thine own; With the sunshine of thy goodness, Melt our thankless hearts of stone. 3 Wondrous honor hast thou given To our humblest charity, In thine own mysterious sentence, "Ye have done it unto me!" 4 Give us faith, to trust thee boldly, Hope, to stay our souls on thee: But, oh, best of all thy graces Give us thine own charity.

Liberality

Author: Thomas Gibbons Hymnal: Laudes Domini #473 (1890) Topics: Self-Denial; Self-Denial First Line: When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay, What were his works from day to day, But miracles of power and grace, That spread salvation through our race? 2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view Thy pattern, and thy steps pursue; Let alms bestowed, let kindness done, Be witnessed by each rolling sun. 3 That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives; Whom none can love, whom none can thank, Creation's blot, creation's blank! 4 But he who marks, from day to day, In generous acts his radiant way, Treads the same path his Saviour trod, The path to glory and to God.

Am I a soldier of the cross

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #456 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Self-Denial Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A foll'wer of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies, On flow'ry beds of ease? While others fought to win the prize, And sail'd through bloody seas. 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thine armies shine In robes of vict'ry through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.
