The Woman's Hymn

Author: Fannie E. S. Heck Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: Come, women, wide proclaim Topics: Missionary Hymns Used With Tune: ITALIAN HYMN

Author: Samuel Wolcott Appears in 430 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Christ for the world we sing, The world to Christ we bring, with loving zeal, The poor and them that mourn, the faint and overborne, Sin sick and sorrow worn, whom Christ doth heal. 2. Christ for the world we sing, The world to Christ we bring, with fervent prayer; The wayward and the lost, by restless passions tossed, Redeemed at countless cost, from dark despair. 3. Christ for the world we sing, The world to Christ we bring, with one accord; With us the work to share, with us reproach to dare, With us the cross to bear, for Christ our Lord. 4. Christ for the world we sing, The world to Christ we bring, with joyful song; The newborn souls, whose days, reclaimed from error’s ways, Inspired with hope and praise, to Christ belong.

The light that on their head The passing years have shed Shall ne’er grow dim. 2 Ye temples, that to God Rise where our fathers trod, Guard well your trust— The faith that dared the sea, The truth that made them free, Their cherished purity, Their garnered dust. 3 Thou high and holy One, Whose care for sire and son All nature fills— While day shall break and close, While night her crescent shows, O let Thy light repose, On these our hills.

Let Us Awake Our Joys

Author: William Kingsbury Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us awake our joys, Strike up with cheerful voice— Each creature sing; Angels—begin the song, Mortals—the strains prolong, In accents sweet and strong— "Jesus is King." 2 Proclaim abroad His name, Tell of His matchless fame— What wonders done; Shout through hell’s dark profound; Let the whole earth resound, Till the high heavens resound— "The victory’s won." 3 He vanquished sin and hell, And the last foe will quell; Mourners rejoice! His dying love adore; Praise Him now raised in power, And triumph ever more, With a glad voice. 4 All hail the glorious day When thro’ the heavenly way, Lo, He shall come! While they who pierced Him wail, His promise shall not fail; Saints, see your king prevail: Come, dear Lord, come!
