When little Samuel woke

Appears in 112 hymnals Topics: God Voice of Lyrics: 1 When little Samuel woke And heard His Maker’s voice, At every word He spoke How much did he rejoice! Oh blessed, happy child, to find The God of heaven to near and kind, The God of heaven to near and kind. 2 If God would speak to me, And say He was my Friend, How happy I should be! Oh how I would attend! The smallest sin I then would fear If God almighty were so near, If God almighty were so near. 3 And does He never speak? Oh yes, for in His word He bids me come and seek The God that Samuel heard. And every sin I well may fear, Since God almighty is so near, Since God almighty is so near. 4 Like Samuel let me say, Whene’er I read His word, “Speak, Lord; I would obey The voice that Samuel heard;” And when I in Thy house appear, “Speak, for Thy servant waits to hear,” “Speak, for Thy servant waits to hear.” Used With Tune: LENOX

I see my people falling In darkness and despair. Whom shall I send to shatter The fetters which they bear?" 3 We heed, O God, thy summons, And answer: "Here are we! Send us upon thine errand, Let us thy servants be. Our strength is dust and ashes, Our years a passing hour; But thou canst use our weakness To magnify thy power. 4 "From ease and plenty save us; From pride of place absolve; Purge us of low desire; Lift us to high resolve; Take us, and make us holy; Teach us thy will and way. Speak, and, behold! we answer; Command, and we obey!" Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD

On the Cross

Author: Anon. Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Male Voices First Line: Behold, behold the Lamb of God Lyrics: 1 Behold, behold the Lamb of God, On the cross, on the cross; For you He shed His precious blood, On the cross, on the cross; O hear His agonizing cry, "Eloi, lama, sabachthani," Draw near, and see your Saviour die, On the cross, on the cross. 2 Behold His arms extended wide, On the cross, on the cross; Behold His bleeding hands and side, On the cross, on the cross; The sun withholds his rays of light, The heav'ns are clothed in shades of night. While Jesus doth for sinners fight, On the cross, on the cross. 3 And now the mighty deed is done, On the cross, on the cross; The battle fought, the vict'ry won, On the cross, on the cross; "'Tis finished," now the Saviour cries; To heav'n He turns His languid eyes; Then bows His sacred head, and dies, On the cross, on the cross. 4 Where e'er I go, I'll tell the story Of the cross, of the cross; In nothing else my soul shall glory, Save the cross, save the cross; And this my constant theme shall be, Thro' time and in eternity, That Jesus shed His blood for me, On the cross, on the cross.
