Sing of Andrew, John's Disciple

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: John 12:20-36 Lyrics: 1 Sing of Andrew, John's disciple, led by faith through ways untrod, till the Baptist cried at Jordan, "There behold the Lamb of God!" Stirred by hearing this new teacher, Andrew, freed from doubt and fear, ran to tell his brother Simon, :God's Anointed One is here!" 2 Sing of Andrew, called by Jesus from the shores of Galilee, leaving boats and nets and kindred, trusting in that "Follow me." When a lad's small meal fed thousands, when inquiring Greeks found care, when the Spirit came in blessing, Andrew faithfully was there. 3 Sing of Andrew, bold apostle, sent to make the gospel known, faithful to his Lord's example, called to make a cross his own. So may we who prize his memory honour Christ in our own day, bearing witness to our neighbours, living what we sing and pray. Topics: Andrew Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Sing, My Tongue, the Ageless Story

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: John 12:20-36 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the ageless story As the cross is lifted high! Tell how Christ our Savior conquered, When for us he came to die As a victim in the battle, Death's dominion to belie. 2 Adam tasted sin and sorrow, Eating of the fearful tree; All undoing our enchainment, By the tree Christ sets us free, Crushing hell's own tool of bondage By his great humility. 3 Silence cloaked the earth and heavens Round the hill of Calvary; Nailed upon the tree of glory, Christ endured his agony. In his royal blood descending Comes our peace, our liberty. 4 Cross triumphant! Cross transforming! Ensign of humanity! Faithful cross, above all others, One and only noble tree: Gracious wood and gracious iron, Gracious burden borne on thee!

Jesus Is Lord

Author: Daniel K. L. Chua Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32 First Line: Jesus is Lord! Behold, the King of kings Lyrics: 1 Jesus is Lord! Behold, the King of kings, exalted high, the name above all names. I sing his praise, the Lamb upon the throne, who reigns in glory, power, and majesty. 2 This is my God. Behold his hands and side, the wounds of love that healed my brokenness. What God is this? What kind of sacrifice would give so much to gain a loveless soul? 3 For me, to live is Christ, to die is gain, for Christ has died that I might gain his life. He is my all, my joy, my righteousness, my hope of glory when he comes to reign. 4 Yes, suddenly, my God shall come again. And every knee shall bow before his name. And he shall reign forever on the throne. And in his glory there I shall proclaim: "Jesus is Lord! Jesus is Lord! Jesus is Lord! Jesus is Lord!"
