March, 1816- Appears in 523 hymnals Topics: Consecration Of Self; Call To Service; The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service; Decision Call to ; Self-Dedication ; Service Of Christ; Master's Call Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus calling, "Who will go and work to-day? Fields are white, and harvests waiting, Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth, Rich reward He offers free; Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I, O Lord, 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 the 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, O Lord, send me."

Lo! God is here! let us adore, And own how dreadful in this place!

Him day and night United choirs of angels sing; To Him, enthroned above all height, Heaven's host their noblest praises bring; Disdain not, Lord, our meaner song, Who praise Thee with a stammering tongue. 3. Gladly the toys of earth we leave, Wealth, pleasure, fame, for Thee alone; To Thee our will, soul, flesh, we give; O take, O seal them for Thine own! For Thou art God, Thou at the Lord; Be Thou by all Thy works adored. 4. Being of beings! may our praise Thy courts with grateful fragrance fill; Still may we stand before Thy face, Still hear and do Thy sovereign will; To Thee may all our thoughts arise, Ceaseless, accepted sacrifice. 5. As flowers their opening leaves display, And glad drink in the solar fire, So may we catch Thy every ray, So may Thy influence us inspire; Thou Beam of the eternal Beam, Thou purging Fire, Thou quickening Flame.

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,431 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Dedication and Consecration Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sovereign die! Would He devote that sacred head For sinners such as I! 2 Was it for sins that I have done He suffered on the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When He, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'Tis all that I can do. Amen. Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
