Hark, the Voice of Jesus Crying

Author: Daniel March, 1816-1909; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 523 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:15 Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are ripe 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 speak like angels, if you cannot preach like Paul, you can tell the love of Jesus, you can say he died for all. If you cannot rouse the wicked with the judgment's dread alarms, you can lead the little children to the Savior's waiting arms. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, standing high on Zion's wall, pointing out the path to heaven, off'ring life and peace to all, with your prayers and with your off'rings you can do what God 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 multitudes 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!" Topics: Witness Used With Tune: GALILEAN

Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 337 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:18 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 the eternal grace, and all my weariness upon thee lean. 2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God, here drink with thee the royal wine of heaven; here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 3 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. 4 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. 5 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 our shield and sun. 6 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to the glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love.
