• [Mat 8:2] Faith In Jesus

  Gracious Lord, Thou canst make me clean; Hide not Thy face from me; Sick and faint, as the leper came, Jesus, I come to Thee. Thou canst remove the plague of sin, Washing my inmost soul; Jesus, I come with breaking heart, Help me and make me whole. Refrain Gracious Lord, Thou canst make me clean; Speak, and my soul shall live; O my faith will not let Thee go Till Thou my sin forgive. Gracious Lord, Thou canst make me clean; Weary and sad am I; Bending low at Thy sacred feet, Hear my repentant cry; Faith in Thy Word has led me here, Faith cannot plead in vain; Lord, I believe; O cleanse me now, Wash me from every stain. Refrain Gracious Lord, Thou canst make me clean; Lord, I am pleading still; Now I hear from Thy lips divine, “Child, thou hast faith—I will”; Joy to my soul, great joy has come, Mourning and tears are o’er; Sweet are Thy words of love to me, “Go thou, and sin no more.” Refrain

  From north and south and east and west, When shall the peoples, long unblest, All find their everlasting rest, O Christ, in Thee? When shall the climes of ageless snow Be with the Gospel light aglow, And all men their Redeemer know, O Christ, in Thee? When on each southern balmy coast, Shall ransomed men, in countless host, Rise, heart and voice, to make sweet boast, O Christ, in Thee? O when in all the Orient lands, From cities white, and flaming sands, Shall men lift dedicated hands, O Christ, in Thee? O when shall heathen darkness roll Away in light, from pole to pole, And endless day by every soul Be found in Thee? Bring, Lord, the long predicted hour, The ages’ diadem and flower, When all shall find their refuge, tower, And home in Thee!

  Full many shall come from the east and the west And sit at the feast of salvation, With Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob the blest, Obeying the Lord’s invitation. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! But they who have always resisted His grace And on their own virtue depended Shall then be condemned and cast out from His face, Eternally lost and unfriended. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! May we too give heed when our Savior doth call In accents persuasive and tender, And may we be guests at His feast, one and all, Our praise and obeisance to render. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! Oh, that we the throng of the ransomed may swell, To whom He hath granted remission! God graciously make us in heaven to dwell And save us from endless perdition. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! God grant that I may of His infinite love Remain in His merciful keeping And sit with the King at His table above When here in the grave I am sleeping. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! Then ended will be, like a dream that is past, All trial and trouble and sorrow; All questions and doubts will be answered at last, When dawneth eternity’s morrow. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! Then Heaven will ring with an anthem more grand Than ever on earth was recorded, When all of the saved shall receive at His hand The crown to the victors awarded. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!

• [Mat 8:11] Gather Us In, Thou Love That Fillest All

  Gather us in, Thou Love that fillest all; Gather our rival faiths within Thy fold; Rend each man’s temple veil, and bid it fall, That we may know that Thou hast been of old. Gather us in—we worship only Thee; In varied names we stretch a common hand; In diverse forms a common soul we see; In many ships we seek one spirit land. Each sees one color of Thy rainbow light, Each looks upon one tint and calls it heaven; Thou art the fullness of our partial sight; We are not perfect till we find the seven. Thine is the mystic life great India craves; Thine is the Parsee’s sin-destroying beam; Thine is the Buddhist’s rest from tossing waves; Thine is the empire of vast China’s dream. Thine is the Roman’s strength without his pride; Thine is the Greek’s glad world without its graves; Thine is Judea’s law with love beside, The truth that censures and the grace that saves. Some seek a Father in the heav’ns above; Some ask a human image to adore; Some crave a spirit vast as life and love; Within Thy mansions we have all and more.

Away from the tender Shepherd’s care. Away from the tender Shepherd’s care. “Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for Thee?” But the Shepherd made answer: “This of Mine Has wandered away from Me; And although the road be rough and steep, I go to the desert to find My sheep, I go to the desert to find My sheep.” But none of the ransomed ever knew How deep were the waters crossed; Nor how dark was the night the Lord passed through Ere He found His sheep that was lost. Out in the desert He heard its cry, Sick and helpless and ready to die; Sick and helpless and ready to die. “Lord, whence are those blood drops all the way That mark out the mountain’s track?” “They were shed for one who had gone astray Ere the Shepherd could bring him back.” “Lord, whence are Thy hands so rent and torn?” “They are pierced tonight by many a thorn; They are pierced tonight by many a thorn.” And all through the mountains, thunder riven And up from the rocky steep, There arose a glad cry to the gate of Heaven, “Rejoice! I have found My sheep!” And the angels echoed around the throne, “Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own! Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own!”

More simple and lowly the walls that we raise, And humbler the pomp of procession and praise, Where the heart is the altar whence incense shall roll, And Messiah the King Who shall pray for the soul. O Father, come in! but not in the cloud Which filled the bright courts where Thy chosen ones bowed; But come in that Spirit of glory and grace, Which beams on the soul and illumines the face. O come in the power of Thy life giving Word, And reveal to each heart its Redeemer and Lord; Till faith bring the peace to the penitent giv’n, And love fill the air with the fragrance of Heav’n. The pomp of Moriah has long passed away, And soon shall our frailer erection decay; But the souls that are builded in worship and love Shall be temples of God, everlasting above.

  Where two or three, with sweet accord, Obedient to their sovereign Lord, Meet to recount His acts of grace, And offer solemn prayer and praise; “There,” says the Savior, “will I be, Amid this little company; To them unveil My smiling face, And shed My glories round the place.” We meet at Thy command, dear Lord, Relying on Thy faithful Word: Now send Thy Spirit from above, Now fill our hearts with heavenly love.

• [Mat 18:21] Remember Christ, Our Savior

  Remember Christ, our Savior Who paid the debts you owed To God the Heavenly Father And to you mercy showed. When others sin against you Be ready to forgive. Since you have been forgiven With them in peace now live. Go first to find your brother, Your sister or your friend. Do not reveal to others The hurt you need to mend. Confront in humble spirit The one whose sin caused pain That he might seek forgiveness And you a friend regain. When bitter anger tempts you To nurse your broken heart With brooding thoughts of hatred And vows of vengeance start. Pray to the Lord of Pardon For power to release Each selfish act against you That rage might in you cease. O Father, Son, and Spirit, O Patient Trinity, Who lifts from us sin’s burden And from its debt sets free. Grant us the will to pardon All those who us offend That we might enter heaven With them when ages end.

Stir up in us a protest against our greed for wealth, While others starve and hunger and plead for work and health; Where homes with little children cry out for lack of bread, Who live their years sore burdened beneath a gloomy dread. Create in us the splendor that dawns when hearts are kind, That knows not race nor station as boundaries of the mind; That learns to value beauty, in heart, or brain, or soul, And longs to bind God’s children into one perfect whole.

  I longed to be a child of God, And do my Savior’s will; And yet the sin that most I feared, I knew unconquered still. “Dear Lord,” I said, for as I knelt I saw Him on the tree— “This heavy burden on my heart, I’ll gladly bear for Thee.” Refrain So now for Him Who died for me, I’m willing all to bear Obedient love will never fail, To bring the answered prayer. The cold was lifted from my soul, My burden rolled away; The light of joy around me shed, A calm and heavenly ray. “Dear Lord,” I said, “I praise Thy Name For Thy rich grace to me; My load is gone and now I rest, In perfect peace with Thee.” Refrain I heard a gentle voice within A whisper soft and mild; “Thy sin was cancelled by His blood, Who owns thee for His child.” “Dear Lord,” I said, “the work is Thine, And Thine the glory be. My life, my soul, my every pow’r, I consecrate to Thee.” Refrain

• [Mat 16:24] Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

  Jesus, I my cross have taken, all to leave and follow Thee. Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shall be. Perish every fond ambition, all I’ve sought or hoped or known. Yet how rich is my condition! God and Heaven are still mine own. Let the world despise and leave me, they have left my Savior, too. Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue. And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might, Foes may hate and friends disown me, show Thy face and all is bright. Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come, disaster, scorn and pain! In Thy service, pain is pleasure; with Thy favor, loss is gain. I have called Thee, “Abba, Father”; I have set my heart on Thee: Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, all must work for good to me. Man may trouble and distress me, ’twill but drive me to Thy breast. Life with trials hard may press me; heaven will bring me sweeter rest. Oh, ’tis not in grief to harm me while Thy love is left to me; Oh, ’twere not in joy to charm me, were that joy unmixed with Thee. Take, my soul, thy full salvation; rise o’er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station something still to do or bear: Think what Spirit dwells within thee; what a Father’s smile is thine; What a Savior died to win thee, child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? Haste then on from grace to glory, armed by faith, and winged by prayer, Heaven’s eternal day’s before thee, God’s own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

  Must Jesus bear the cross alone, And all the world go free? No, there’s a cross for everyone, And there’s a cross for me. How happy are the saints above, Who once went sorrowing here! But now they taste unmingled love, And joy without a tear. The consecrated cross I’ll bear Till death shall set me free; And then go home my crown to wear, For there’s a crown for me. Upon the crystal pavement down At Jesus’ piercèd feet, Joyful I’ll cast my golden crown And His dear Name repeat. O precious cross! O glorious crown! O resurrection day! When Christ the Lord from Heav’n comes down And bears my soul away.

Nearer the Christian’s mercy seat, I am coming nearer; Feasting my soul on manna sweet I am coming nearer; Stronger in faith, more clear I see Jesus Who gave Himself for me; Nearer to Him I still would be, Still I’m coming nearer Still I’m coming nearer. Nearer in prayer my hope aspires, I am coming nearer; Deeper the love my soul desires, I am coming nearer; Nearer the end of toil and care, Nearer the joy I long to share, Nearer the crown I soon shall wear; I am coming nearer; I am coming nearer.

Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame, Nor let thy foolish pride rebel; Thy Lord for thee the cross endured, And saved thy soul from death and hell.

The world’s esteem is but a bribe, To buy their peace you sell your own; The slave of a vainglorious tribe, Who hate you while they make you known. The joy that vain amusements give, O! sad conclusion that it brings! The honey of a crowded hive, Defended by a thousand stings. ’Tis thus the world rewards the fools That live upon her treacherous smiles: She leads them, blindfold, by her rules, And ruins all whom she beguiles. God knows the thousands who go down From pleasure into endless woe; And with a long despairing groan Blaspheme their Maker as they go.

  Not here, as to the prophet’s eye, The Lord upon His throne appears; Nor seraphim responsive cry, “Holy! thrice holy!” in our ears: Yet God is present in this place, Veiled in serener majesty; So full of glory, truth and grace, That faith alone such light can see. Nor, as He in the temple taught, Is Christ within these walls revealed, When blind, and deaf, and dumb were brought, Lepers and lame, and all were healed: Yet here, when two or three shall meet Or thronging multitudes are found, All may sit down at Jesus’ feet, And hear from Him the joyful sound. Send forth the seraphim, O Lord, To touch Thy servants’ lips with fire; Savior, give them Thy faithful Word; Come, Holy Ghost, their hearts inspire.

O where is He that trod the sea, O where is He that spake, And piercing words of liberty The deaf ears open shake; And mildest words arrest the haste Of fever’s deadly fire, And strong ones heal the weak who waste Their life in sad desire? O where is He that trod the sea, O where is He that spake, And dark waves rolling heavily A glassy smoothness take; And lepers, whose own flesh has been A solitary grave, See with amaze that they are clean, And cry, “’Tis He can save”? O where is He that trod the sea? ’Tis only He can save; To thousands hungering wearily A wondrous meal He gave; Full soon, celestially fed, Their rustic fare they take; ’Twas springtide when He blest the bread, And harvest when He brake. O where is He that trod the sea? My soul, the Lord is here: Let all thy fears be hushed in thee; To leap, to look, to hear Be thine: thy needs He’ll satisfy.

  Come, children; raise your voices! The King of Love comes from above, The heavenly host rejoices. The Babe lies in the manger; God seeks His own, by angels known, But unto men a Stranger. Though weak and helpless lying, From Him is giv’n through earth and Heav’n New life, and peace undying. But who on earth do greet Him? A shepherd band with staff in hand Sets forth by night to meet Him. And lo! from eastward riding The wise men three; the star they see, And follow it confiding. Oh, Hope of all the ages! May we find grace to claim our place Where shepherds kneel and sages.

Out in the desert He heard its cry, Sick and helpless and ready to die; Sick and helpless and ready to die. “Lord, whence are those blood drops all the way That mark out the mountain’s track?” “They were shed for one who had gone astray Ere the Shepherd could bring him back.” “Lord, whence are Thy hands so rent and torn?” “They are pierced tonight by many a thorn; They are pierced tonight by many a thorn.” And all through the mountains, thunder riven And up from the rocky steep, There arose a glad cry to the gate of Heaven, “Rejoice!

  O seek the Lord in prayer And fall down at Christ’s feet, As two or three are gathered there, Entreaties shall Christ meet! Be whole! Be well! Be holy in the Lord! Though we were reckoned lost And numbered with the dead, Christ came to suffer on the cross, To grant us life instead! Be whole! Be well! Be holy in the Lord! The touch of Christ brings strength, Makes well and makes alive; All who are languishing in pain, Christ ventures to revive! Be whole! Be well! Be holy in the Lord! Be calm and do not fear; Be thoroughly restored! May joy replace each anguished tear; The joy of Christ the Lord! Be whole! Be well! Be holy in the Lord!

• [Mat 18:20] O Where Is He That Trod The Sea?

  O where is He that trod the sea, O where is He that spake; And demons from their victims flee, The dead their slumbers break: The palsied rise in freedom strong, The dumb men talk and sing, And from blind eyes, benighted long, Bright beams of morning spring? O where is He that trod the sea, O where is He that spake, And piercing words of liberty The deaf ears open shake; And mildest words arrest the haste Of fever’s deadly fire, And strong ones heal the weak who waste Their life in sad desire? O where is He that trod the sea, O where is He that spake, And dark waves rolling heavily A glassy smoothness take; And lepers, whose own flesh has been A solitary grave, See with amaze that they are clean, And cry, “’Tis He can save”? O where is He that trod the sea? ’Tis only He can save; To thousands hungering wearily A wondrous meal He gave; Full soon, celestially fed, Their rustic fare they take; ’Twas springtide when He blest the bread, And harvest when He brake. O where is He that trod the sea? My soul, the Lord is here: Let all thy fears be hushed in thee; To leap, to look, to hear Be thine: thy needs He’ll satisfy. Art thou diseased or dumb, Or dost thou in thine hunger cry? “I come,” saith Christ, “I come.”

Refrain Sing, children sing; the song you now are waking, Long, long ago on Judah’s plain began; When from the sky was heard the midnight chorus, Peace from our Father and good-will to men. Refrain Sing, children sing, ’till forward still advancing, Rank after rank the royal standard wave; Sing, gladly sing, the wonders of His greatness, Jesus the mighty One, the Strong to Save.

  Lord, Thy children lowly bending, Bow before Thy throne; Praise from youthful lips ascending Wilt Thou deign to own? Wilt Thou hear us while we bless Thee, And confess Thee God alone? Yes, Thou wilt, for Thou dost love us, Cam’st for us to die; Bending from Thy throne above us, With a pitying eye, Well we know that Thou art near us, And will hear us when we cry. Then our humble praises bringing, We will seek Thy face; Hymns with grateful voices singing In this hallowed place. We will dare to come before Thee, And adore Thee, Lord of grace.

  Sing to the Lord the children’s hymn, His gentle love declare, Who bends amid the seraphim To hear the children’s prayer. He at a mother’s breast was fed, Though God’s own Son was He; He learnt the first small words He said At a meek mother’s knee. He held us to His mighty breast, The children of the earth; He lifted up His hands and blessed The babes of human birth. Lo! from the stars His face will turn On us with glances mild; The angels of His presence yearn To bless the little child. Keep us, O Jesus Lord, for Thee, That so by Thy dear grace We, children of the font, may see Our heavenly Father’s face.

  Wilt Thou hear the voice of praise Which the little children raise, Thou Who art, from endless days, Glorious God of all? While the circling year has sped, Thou hast heavenly blessings shed, Like the dew, upon each head; Still on Thee we call. Still Thy constant care bestow; Let us each in wisdom grow, And in favor while below, With the God above. In our hearts the Spirit mild, Which adorned the Savior Child, Gently soothe each impulse wild To the sway of love. Thine example, kept in view, Jesus, help us to pursue; Lead us all our journey through By Thy guiding hand; And when life on earth is o’er, Where the blest dwell evermore, May we praise Thee and adore, An unbroken band.

• [Mat 21:28] Go Work In My Vineyard

  “Go work in My vineyard,” there’s plenty to do; The harvest is great and the lab’rers are few; There’s weeding and fencing, and clearing of roots, And plowing, and sowing, and gath’ring of fruits. There are foxes to take, there are wolves to destroy, All ages and ranks I can fully employ; I’ve sheep to be tended, and lambs to be fed; The lost must be gathered, the weary ones led. Refrain Go work, go work, go work in My vineyard; there’s plenty to do; Go work, go work, the harvest is great, and the lab’rers are few. “Go work in My vineyard”; I claim thee as Mine; With blood did I buy thee and all that is thine— Thy time and thy talents, thy loftiest powers, Thy warmest affections, thy sunniest hours. I willingly yielded My kingdom for thee, The song of archangels— to hang on the tree, In pain and temptation, in anguish and shame, I paid thy full ransom; My purchase I claim Refrain “Go work in My vineyard”; oh, work while ’tis day! The bright hours of sunshine are hastening away, And night’s gloomy shadows are gathering fast; The time for our labor will ever be past. Begin in the morning and toil all the day; Thy strength I’ll supply, and thy wages I’ll pay; And blessèd, thrice blessèd, the diligent few, Who finish the labor I’ve giv’n them to do. Refrain

  O God, who workest hitherto, Working in all we see, Fain we would be, and bear, and do, As best it pleaseth Thee. The toil of brain, or heart, or hand, Is man’s appointed lot; He who Thy call can understand Will work, and murmur not. Where’er Thou sendest we will go, Nor any question ask, And what Thou biddest we will do, Whatever be the task.

Refrain Out where the reapers are toiling, Out where they earnestly call, Let us away, away in the morning, There is a work for us all.

Refrain Out where the sheaves they are binding, Sheaves for the garner above, Go in the Name of the Master, Go in the spirit of love; Hark!

  In the vineyard of our Father Daily work we find to do; Scattered fruit our hands may gather, Though we are but weak and few; Little clusters Help to fill the basket, too. Toiling early in the morning, Catching moments through the day, Nothing small or lowly scorning, So we work, and watch, and pray; Gathering gladly Free will offerings by the way. Not for selfish praise or glory, Not for objects nothing worth, But to send the blessèd story Of the Gospel o’er the earth, Telling mortals Of our Lord and Savior’s birth. Up and ever at our calling, Till in death our lips are dumb, Or till, sin’s dominion falling, Christ shall in His kingdom come, And His children Reach their everlasting home. Steadfast, then, in our endeavor, Heavenly Father, may we be; And forever, and forever, We will give the praise to Thee; Alleluia! Singing, all eternity.

O Master, from the mountainside Make haste to heal these hearts of pain; Among these restless throngs abide; O tread the city’s streets again.

O cradled He was in a manger! For lowly and poor was He, Whose throne is the splendors of heaven Whose pow’r is infinity; And He bore His cross to save us, To save us from death and sin, And He trod all alone the winepress To make us pure and clean. In glory the hosts of the angels Came singing His song of praise, And filling the heav’ns with their music In those wonderful old days; Singing “Glory to God in the highest!” And “peace upon earth,” And the mighty chorus of voices Pealed forth “Good will to all.” “O how shall I keep my Christmas?” As they keep it in heaven above; O keep it with peace and thanksgiving, And kindliest deed of love; And share with the poor and needy The joys which the Lord gives thee; And thy heart shall keep with the angels The Lord’s nativity.
