COME, LIVING GOD, WHEN LEAST EXPECTED

COME, LIVING GOD, WHEN LEAST EXPECTED

Words: Alan Gaunt

Come, living God, when least expected,
when minds are dull and hearts are cold,
through sharpening word and warm affection
revealing truths as yet untold.

Break from the tomb in which we hide you
to speak again in startling ways;
break through the words in which we bind you
to resurrect our lifeless praise.

Come now, as once you came to Moses
within the bush alive with flame,
or to Elijah on the mountain,
by silence pressing home your claim.

So, let our minds be sharp to read you
in sight or sound or printed page,
and let us greet you in our neighbours,
in ardent youth or mellow age.

Then, through our gloom, your Son will meet us
as vivid truth and living Lord,
exploding doubt and disillusion
to scatter hope and joy abroad.

Then we will share his radiant brightness
and, blazing through the dread of night,
illuminate by love and reason,
for those in darkness, faith's delight.

’TIS LOVE THAT MAKES US HAPPY

Words & Music: Franklin E. Belden

’Tis love that makes us hap?py,
’Tis love that smoothes the way;
It helps us mind, it makes us kind
To oth?ers ev?ery day.

Refrain:
God is love; we’re His lit?tle child?ren.
God is love; we would be like Him.
’Tis love that makes us hap?py,
’Tis love that smoothes the way;
It helps us mind, it makes us kind
To oth?ers ev?ery day.

This world is full of sor?row,
Of sick?ness, death and sin;
With lov?ing heart we’ll do our part,
And try some soul to win.

And when this life is ov?er,
And we are called above,
Our song shall be, eter?nal?ly,
Of Je?sus and His love.

YE SONS OF ADAM, VAIN AND YOUNG

Words: Isaac Watts

Ye sons of Ad?am, vain and young,
Indulge your eyes, in?dulge your tongue;
Taste the de?lights your souls de?sire,
And give a loose to all your fire;

Pursue the plea?sures you de?sign,
And cheer your hearts with songs and wine;
Enjoy the day of mirth, but know
There is a day of jud?gment, too.

God from on high re?cords your thoughts,
His book re?cords your sec?ret faults;
The works of dark?ness you have done
Must all ap?pear be?fore the Sun.

The ven?geance to your foll?ies due
Should strike your hearts with ter?ror thro’:
How will ye stand be?fore His face,
Or an?swer for His in?jured grace?

Almighty God! turn off their eyes
From these al?lur?ing va?ni?ties;
And let the thun?der of Thy Word
Awake their souls to fear the Lord.

LOOK UP! YE WEARY ONES

Words: Fanny Crosby
Music: George C. Stebbins

Look up! look up! ye wea?ry ones,
Whose skies are veiled in night;
For He who knows the path you tread
Will yet re?store the light;
Look up! and hail the dawn?ing
Of hope’s tri?um?phant morn?ing.

Refrain:
Behold Him! be?hold Him!
Your Sav?ior lives to?day;
Behold Him! be?hold Him!
The clouds have rolled away.

The gifts you bring with lov?ing hand
Your Lord will not dis?own!
Their od?ors sweet to Heav’n shall rise
Like in?cense round His throne;
Look up! and hail the dawn?ing
Of joy’s trans?cend?ent morn?ing.

Rejoice! the grave is ov?er?come,
And lo! the an?gels sing;
The grand?est tri?umph ev?er known
Has come thro’ Christ our king;
All Heav’n pro?claims the dawn?ing
Of love’s all glo?ri?ous morn?ing.

RIDE ON, RIDE ON IN MAJESTY!

Words: Henry H. Milman

Ride on, ride on in majesty
as all the crowds Hosanna cry;
through waving branches slowly ride,
O Savior to be crucified.

Ride on, ride on in majesty,
in lowly pomp ride on to die;
O Christ, your triumph now begin
o'er captive death and conquered sin.

Ride on, ride on in majesty,
the last and fiercest foe defy;
the Father on his sapphire throne
awaits his own anointed Son.

Ride on, ride on in majesty,
in lowly pomp ride on to die;
bow your meek head to mortal pain,
then take, O God, your power and reign!

OH! WHAT, IF WE ARE CHRIST’S

Words: Henry W. Baker
Music: Louis Bourgeois

Oh! what, if we are Christ’s,
Is earth?ly shame or loss?
Bright shall the crown of glo?ry be
When we have borne the cross.

Keen was the tri?al once,
Bitter the cup of woe,
When mar?tyred saints, bap?tized in blood,
Christ’s suf?fer?ings shared be?low:

Bright is their glo?ry now,
Boundless their joy ab?ove,
Where, on the bo?som of their God,
They rest in per?fect love.

Lord, may that grace be ours,
Like them in faith to bear
All that of sor?row, grief or pain
May be our por?tion here.

Enough if Thou at last
The word of bless?ing give,
And let us rest be?neath Thy feet,
Where saints and an?gels live.

All glo?ry, Lord, to Thee,
Whom Heav’n and earth adore;
To Fa?ther, Son, and Ho?ly Ghost,
One God for?ev?er?more.

LEAD ON, O KING ETERNAL

Lyrics: Ernest W. Shurtleff
Music: Henry T. Smart

Lead on, O King eternal,
the day of march has come;
henceforth in fields of conquest
thy tents shall be our home.
Through days of preparation
thy grace has made us strong;
and now, O King eternal,
we lift our battle song.

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,
nor roll of stirring drums;
with deeds of love and mercy
the heavenly kingdom comes.

Lead on, O King eternal,
we follow, not with fears,
for gladness breaks like morning
where'er thy face appears.
Thy cross is lifted o'er us,
we journey in its light;
the crown awaits the conquest;
lead on, O God of might.

THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD

THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD

Lyrics and Music: James McGranahan

Ho, reapers in
the whitened harvest!
Oft feeble, faint and few;
Come, wait upon
the blessed Master,
Our strength He will renew.

Refrain:
For “they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength,
they shall mount up with wings,
they shall mount up with wings
as eagles,
They shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint;
They shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint;
They shall run and not be weary,
shall walk and not faint.”

Too oft aweary and discouraged,
We pour a sad complaint;
Believing in a living Saviour,
Why should we ever faint?

Rejoice! For He is with us alway,
Lo, even to the end!
Look up!
Take courage and go forward—
All needed grace He’ll send!

CLINGING TO THEE

O Holy Savior! Friend unseen,
Since on thine arm thou bid'st me lean,
Help me, throughout life's changing scene,
By faith to cling to thee!

What though the world deceitful prove,
And earthly friends and joys remove?
With patient, uncomplaining love
Still I would cling to thee.

Though faith and hope awhile be tried,
I ask not, need not aught beside:
How safe, how calm, how satisfied,
The souls that cling to thee.

THERE’S NOT A FRIEND LIKE THE LOWLY JESUS

Lyrics:Johnson Oatman Jr.?
Music:George Crawford Hugg

There’s not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:
? No, not one! no, not one!
None else could heal all our souls’ diseases:
? No, not one! no, not one!

Refrain:?
Jesus knows all about our struggles;
? He will guide ’til the day is done:
There’s not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:
? ? No, not one! no, not one!

No friend like Him is so high and holy,
? No, not one! no, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,
? No, not one! no, not one!

There’s not an hour that He is not near us,
? No, not one! no, not one!
No night so dark, but His love can cheer us,
? No, not one! no, not one!

Did ever saint find this Friend forsake him?
? No, not one! no, not one!
Or sinner find that He would not take him?
? No, not one! no, not one!

Was e’er a gift like the Savior given?
? No, not one! no, not one!
Will He refuse us the bliss of heaven?
? No, not one! no, not one!

PUT THOU THY TRUST IN GOD

Put thou thy trust in God,
In duty’s path go on;
Walk in His strength with faith and hope
So shall thy work be done.

Give to the winds thy fears,
Hope, and be undismayed;
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears,
God shall lift up thy head.

Through waves, and clouds, and storms
He gently clears thy way;
Wait thou His time; so shall this night
Soon end in joyous day.

Leave to His sovereign sway
To choose and to command;
So shalt thou, wondering, own His way
How wise, how strong His hand.

Thou seest our weakness, Lord;
Our hearts are known to Thee;
O lift? Thou up the sinking hand,
Confirm the feeble knee.

Let us, in life, in death,
Thy steadfast truth declare,
And publish, with our latest breath,
Thy love and guardian care.

O FOR A WORLD

O for a world where everyone
respects each other's ways,
where love is lived and all is done
with justice and with praise.

O for a world where goods are shared
and misery relieved,
where truth is spoken, children spared,
equality achieved.

We welcome one world family
and struggle with each choice
that opens us to unity
and gives our vision voice.

The poor are rich, the weak are strong,
the foolish ones are wise.
Tell all who mourn, outcasts belong,
who perishes will rise.

O for a world preparing for
God's glorious reign of peace,
where time and tears will be no more,
and all but love will cease.

TO BE AT PEACE WITH EVERY MAN

TO BE AT PEACE WITH EVERY MAN

To be at peace with ev'ry man
Each faithful soul desires,
For which they do the best they can,
Like as Saint Paul requir's.

Their aim is not revenge to seek,
Nor yet in malice live:
But like their Saviour humble meek
And freely will forgive.

To wrath and spite they give no place
But keep their Lord in view;
They pray for his renewing grace
To bear his Image too.

Their charity to all extends,
They feel for other's grief,
They pitty foes as well as friends,
And pray for their relief.

They help in ev'ry time of need;
And with a liberal hand;
The naked cloath, the hungry feed,
As Jesus gave command.

O may the Lord impress my mind
With love and christian faith,
To be affectionate and kind
As the Apostle saith.

JESUS CALLS US

JESUS CALLS US

Words: Cecil Frances Alexander
Music: William H. Jude

Jesus calls us o'er the tumult
of our life's wild, restless sea;
day by day his sweet voice soundeth,
saying, "Christian, follow me!"

As of old the apostles heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred,
leaving all for Jesus' sake.

Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world's golden store,
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, "Christian, love me more!"

In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these!"

Jesus calls us! By thy mercies,
Savior, may we hear thy call,
give our hearts to thine obedience,
serve and love thee best of all.

GIVE ME A GENTLE HEART

Give me a gentle heart
Filled with meekness,
Dilligent heart like Thine
Jesus, my Lord
Humbleness and patience
A heart of compassion
In every small detail
To be like Him

Give me a contentment
In all conditions
Be it e'en humbler than
His lowly birth
Give me Thou Thy comfort
Give me also Thy help;
In every small detail
To be like Him

Give me enthusiasm
In things of Thine
Earnestness and more love
For things of heav'n
Give me more holiness
Give me hatred for sin
In every small detail
To be like Him

Give me a heart of faith
A hope in Thee
Give joy of salvation
In Jesus Christ
Give me a living soul
Give a crown of glory
And when I shall awake
To be like Him

LORD, THY WORD ABIDETH

Lord, thy word abideth,
and our footsteps guideth;
who its truth believeth
light and joy receiveth.

When our foes are near us,
then thy word doth cheer us,
word of consolation,
message of salvation.

When the storms are o'er us,
and dark clouds before us,
then its light directeth,
and our way protecteth.

Who can tell the pleasure,
who recount the treasure,
by thy word imparted
to the simple hearted:

word of mercy, giving
help unto the living;
word of life, supplying
comfort to the dying!

Oh that we, discerning
its most holy learning,
Lord, my love and fear thee,
evermore be near thee.

BY GRACE I’LL STAND

BY GRACE I’LL STAND

Words: J. H. A. (edited by Robert F. Beveridge)
Music: A. Walwyn Evans

Once I was far from Je?sus,
A stran?ger to His grace,
But o’er the mount?ains bleak and cold
He sought my steps to trace;
One day, praise God, He found me,
And brought me to His fold,
And now I feel His won?drous grace
Can ne’er be ful?ly told.

Refrain:
Yes, by grace alone,
God help?ing me, I’ll stand.
True and faith?ful till
I reach the glo?ry land,
Just trust?ing Him each mo?ment
For His help di?vine,
Confessing Je?sus,
My bless?èd Sav?ior.

He’s filled my life with bless?ing,
And changed my heart’s de?sire;
To wit?ness for Him day by day
My soul is all on fire;
Full well I know that dan?gers
Lie thick?ly round my way,
But keep?ing sight of Je?sus Christ
I can?not go as?tray.

So more and more of Je?sus
I’m learn?ing ev?ery day;
With such a pre?cious friend and guide
I’ll fol?low all the way;
I can re?flect His im?age,
And eve?ry?one around
My tes?ti?mo?ny clear shall know:
The Sav?ior I have found.

I AM THINE, O LORD

Lyrics: Fanny Jane Crosby?
Music: William Howard Doane?

I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
? And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
? And be closer drawn to Thee.
?
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
? To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
? ? To Thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
? By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
? And my will be lost in Thine.

O the pure delight of a single hour
? That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
? I commune as friend with friend!

There are depths of love that I yet may know
? Ere Thee face to face I see;
There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
? Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

Save Me Jesus, Do Save Me

Will Thou Silently Watch Me
Till I Die ‘Cause Of Weakness
Will Thou Leave Me Unto Sin
God Forbid, Jesus Save Me

You Know All My Strivings Lord
And My Secret Tears You See

Sin Has Put Me In Fetters
Break The Fetters And The Chains
I Will Ever Worship Thee
