Hark, the Voice of Jesus Crying

Author: Daniel March, 1816-1909; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 503 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white and harvests waiting-- Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth; Rich reward He offers thee. Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I, send me, send me"? 2 If you cannot speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say He died for all. If you cannot rouse the wicked With the judgment's dread alarms, You can lead the little children To the Savior's waiting arms. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Off'ring life and peace to all, With your prayers and with your bounties You can do what God commands; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the multitudes are dying And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth, "Here am I, send me, send me!"

Lamb of God! Our Souls Adore Thee

Author: James Deck Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lamb of God! Our souls adore Thee While upon Thy face we gaze; There the Father’s love and glory Shine in all their brightest rays; Thine almighty power and wisdom All creation’s works proclaim; Heaven and earth alike confess Thee As the ever great I AM. 2. Lamb of God! Thy Father’s bosom Ever was Thy dwelling place; His delight, in Him rejoicing, One with Him in power and grace; Oh, that wondrous love and mercy— Thou didst lay Thy glory by, And for us didst come from Heaven, As the Lamb of God, to die! 3. Lamb of God! When we behold Thee Lowly in the manger laid, Wandering as a homeless stranger In the world Thy hands had made; When we see Thee in the garden, In Thine agony of blood, At Thy grace we are confounded, Holy, spotless, Lamb of God! 4. When we see Thee, as the victim, Bound for us upon the tree, For our guilt and folly stricken, All our judgment born by Thee— Lord, we own, with hearts adoring, Thou hast loved us unto blood: Glory, glory everlasting, Be to Thee, Thou Lamb of God! 5. Lamb of God, Thou soon in glory Will to this sad earth return; All Thy foes shall quake before Thee, All that now despise Thee mourn; Then Thy saints all gathered to Thee, With Thee in Thy kingdom reign; Thine the praise and Thine the glory, Lamb of God, for sinners slain.

O, The Blessed Promise

Author: J. C. Starr Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: O, the blessed promise given Lyrics: 1 O, the blessèd promise given On the hills of Galilee To the weary, heavy laden, Still is made to you and me. Many a heart has thrilled to hear it, Many a tear been wiped away, Many a load of sin been lifted, Many a midnight turned to day. 2 Many a broken, contrite spirit, Lonely, sorrowing and sad, Felt the mighty consolation, Heard the heavenly tidings glad; And the dying gazed with rapture, Trusting in the Savior’s name, On the land of rest and refuge, When the Burden Bearer came. 3 Every phase of human sorrow Fills the path we tread today; Harps are hanging on the willows, Souls are fainting by the way; But there still is balm in Gilead, And though here on earth we weep, God within the many mansions, Giveth His belovèd sleep. 4 On the cloud the rainbow glitters, Shines the star of faith above; God will not forsake or leave us— Let us trust His truth and love, And beyond the shining river We shall bless His holy name, That to bear our sins and sorrows, Christ the Burden Bearer came.

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding to this high and holy place, where we wait with hope and longing for some token of God’s grace. Here we pray for new assurance that our faith is not in vain, searching like those first disciples for a sign both clear and plain. 2 Light breaks through our clouds and shadows, splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word, Moses and Elijah marvel as the heavenly voice is heard. Eyes and hearts behold with wonder how the Law and Prophets meet: Christ with garments drenched in brightness, stands transfigured and complete. 3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory, fearful lest our faith decline, We, like Peter, find it tempting to remain and build a shrine. But true worship gives us courage to proclaim what we profess, That our daily lives may prove us people of the God we bless.
