Lead on, O King Eternal
Author: Ernest W. Shurtleff Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 421 hymnals Topics: Warfare, Spiritual; Warfare, Christian First Line: Lead on, O King Eternal, The day of march has come Lyrics: 1 Lead on, O King eternal,
the day of march has come;
henceforth in fields of conquest
your tents will be our home.
Through days of preparation
your grace has made us strong;
and now, O King eternal,
we lift our battle song.
2 Lead on, O King eternal,
till sin's fierce war shall cease,
and holiness shall whisper
the sweet amen of peace.
For not with swords' loud clashing
or roll of stirring drums
with deeds of love and mercy
the heavenly kingdom comes.
3 Lead on, O King eternal;
we follow, not with fears,
for gladness breaks like morning
where'er your face appears.
Your cross is lifted o'er us,
we journey in its light;
the crown awaits the conquest;
lead on, O God of might.
Psalter Hymnal, (Gray)

all who by faith before the world confessed,
your name, O Jesus, be forever blest.

you were their captain in the well-fought fight;
you, in the darkness drear, the one true light.

We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
yet all are one within your great design.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!

soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;
sweet is the calm of paradise the blest.

the saints triumphant rise in bright array:
as God to glory calls them all away.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!

through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:
Hallelujah, hallelujah! Used With Tune: SINE NOMINE

Author: Benjamin H. Kennedy; Johann C. Schwedler Meter: 7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 173 hymnals Topics: Year A Proper 26 Lyrics: 1 Ask me what great thing I know
that delights and stirs me so,
What the high reward I win,
whose the name I glory in:
Jesus Christ, the crucified.

Who consoles my saddest woes?
Who revives my fainting heart,
healing all that grief imparts?
Jesus Christ, the crucified.
3 Who is life in life to me?
Who the death of death will be?
Who holds all my days secure,
in God's heart where love is sure?
Jesus Christ, the crucified.
4 This is that great thing I know;
this delights and stirs me so:
Faith in Christ who died to save,
Christ who triumphed o'er the grave,
Jesus Christ, the crucified.

leads forth in beauty all the starry band
of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
our grateful songs before thy throne arise.
2 Thy love divine hath led us in the past;
in this free land with thee our lot is cast;
be thou our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay,
thy Word our law, thy paths our chosen way.
3 From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,
be thy strong arm our ever sure defense;
thy true religion in our hearts increase;
thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
4 Refresh thy people on their toilsome way;
lead us from night to never-ending day;
fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
and glory, laud, and praise be ever thine.

I Danced in the Morning
Author: Sydney Carter Meter: Irregular Appears in 55 hymnals Topics: Proper 26 Year A Refrain First Line: Dance, then, wherever you may be Lyrics: 1 I danced in the morning
when the world was begun,
and I danced in the moon
and the stars and the sun,
and I came down from heaven
and I danced on the earth;
at Bethlehem I had my birth.
[Refrain:]
Dance, then, wherever you may be;
I am the Lord of the dance, said he,
and I’ll lead you all, wherever you may be,
and I’ll lead you all in the dance, said he.
2 I danced for the scribe
and the pharisee,
but they would not dance
and they would not follow me;
I danced for the fishermen,
for James and John;
they came with me
and the dance went on. [Refrain]
3 I danced on the Sabbath
and I cured the lame;
the holy people
said it was a shame;
they whipped and they stripped
and they hung me high,
and they left me there
on a cross to die. [Refrain]
4 I danced on a Friday
when the sky turned black;
it’s hard to dance
with the devil on your back;
they buried my body
and they thought I’d gone,
but I am the dance
and I still go on. [Refrain]
5 They cut me down
and I leap up high;
I am the life
that will never, never die;
I’ll live in you
if you’ll live in me;
I am the Lord
of the dance, said he. [Refrain] Used With Tune: LORD OF THE DANCE

Author: Charlotte Elliott, 1789-1871 Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 2,297 hymnals Topics: Proper 26 Year C Lyrics: 1 Just as I am, without one plea
but that thy blood was shed for me,
and that thou bidst me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come.
2 Just as I am, though tossed about
with many a conflict, many a doubt,
fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come.
3 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
sight, riches, healing of the mind,
yea, all I need, in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come.
4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve:
because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come.
5 Just as I am, thy love unknown
has broken every barrier down;
now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come.
6 Just as I am, of that free love
the breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
here for a season, then above,
O Lamb of God, I come. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 7:5 Used With Tune: SAFFRON WALDEN
Just as I am, without one plea
