He sat to watch o'er customs paid

Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #281 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. He sat to watch o'er customs paid, a man of scorned and hardening trade, alike the symbol and the tool of foreign master's hated rule. 2. But grace within his heart had stirred, there needed but the timely word; it came, true Lord of souls, from thee, that royal summons, "Follow me." 3. Enough, when thou wast passing by, to hear thy voice, to meet thine eye; he rose, responsive to the call, and left his task, his gains, his all. 4. O wise exchange! with these to part, and lay up treasures in the heart; let them of Matthew's wealth partake, who yield up all for Jesus' sake.

"Take Up Thy Cross," the Saviour Said

Author: Charles W. Everest Hymnal: The Hymnbook #293 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: "Take up thy cross", the Saviour said Lyrics: 1 "Take up thy cross," the Saviour said, If thou wouldst My disciple be; Take up thy cross with willing heart And humbly follow after Me." 2 Take up thy cross; let not its weight Fill thy weak spirit with alarm; His strength shall bear thy spirit up, And brace thy heart, and nerve thine arm. 3 Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame; Nor let thy foolish pride rebel; Thy Lord for thee the cross endured, To save thy soul from death and hell. 4 Take up thy cross and follow Christ, Nor think till death to lay it down; For only he who bears the cross May hope to wear the glorious crown. Amen. Topics: Commitment; Cross, The; Discipleship; Humility; Life in Christ Discipleship and Service Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Tune Title: BRESLAU

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died

Author: Samuel Medley; Thomas Kelly Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #296 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope though all deride; for this we count the world but loss 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see, in shining letters, "God is love"; he bears our sins upon the tree; he brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! it takes our guilt away; it holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens ev'ry bitter cup; 4 it makes the coward spirit brave, and nerves the feeble arm for right; it takes its terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light; 5 the balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heav'n above.

O Christ, our true and only Light

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #296 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Illumine those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear thy voice, And in thy fold with us rejoice. 2 And all who else have strayed from thee, O gently seek; thy healing be To ev'ry wounded conscience giv'n; And let them also share thy heav'n. 3 O make the deaf to hear thy Word; And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 4 Shine on the darkened and the cold; Recall the wand'rers from thy fold; Unite those now who walk apart; Confirm the weak and doubting heart. 5 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wond'ring thanks adore, And endless praise to thee be giv'n By all the church in earth and heav'n. Amen. Topics: Backsliding; Calling; Christ The Light; The Church The Kingdom of God; The Church Unity or Scripture: John 9:5 Tune Title: BRESLAU
