A Charge to Keep I Have

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: WASH1957 #320 (2006) Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify, A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky. 2 To serve the present age, My calling to fulfill; O may it all my powers engage, To do my Master's will! 3 Arm me with jealous care, As in Thy sight to live, And O Thy servant, Lord, prepare A strict account to give! 4 Help me to watch and pray And on Thyself rely, O let me ne'er my trust betray, But press to realms on high. Amen. Topics: Faithfulness of the believer; The Christian Way of Life Aspiration and Consecration Languages: English Tune Title: BOYLSTON

It's Just Like His Great Love

Author: Edna R. Worrell, 19th Century Hymnal: WASH1957 #372 (2006) First Line: A Friend I have, called Jesus Refrain First Line: It's just like Jesus to roll the clouds away Lyrics: 1 A friend I have called Jesus, Whose love is strong and true, And never fails howe’er ’tis tried, No matter what I do; I sinned against this love of His, But when I knelt to pray, Confessing all my guilt to Him, The sin-clouds rolled away. Refrain: It’s just like Jesus to roll the clouds away, It’s just like Jesus to keep me day by day, It’s just like Jesus all along the way, It’s just like His great love. 2 Sometimes when clouds of trouble Bedim the sky above, I cannot see my Savior’s face, I doubt His wondrous love; But He, from Heaven’s mercy-seat, Beholding my despair, In pity bursts the clouds between, And shows me He is there. (Refrain) 3 When sorrow’s clouds o’ertake me, And break upon my head, When life seems worse than useless, And I were better dead; I take my grief to Jesus then, Nor do I go in vain, For heav’nly hope He gives that cheers Like sunshine after rain. (Refrain) 4 Oh, I could sing forever Of Jesus’ love divine, Of all His care and tenderness For this poor life of mine; His love is in and over all, And wind and waves obey When Jesus whispers, “Peace, be still!” And rolls the clouds away.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Frederick H. Hedge, 1805-1890 Hymnal: WASH1957 #1 (2006) Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing; Our helper He, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing, Were not the right man on our side, The Man of God’s own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth His name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us. The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo, his doom is sure; One little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers-- No thanks to them--abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still; His kingdom is forever. Amen.

When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see. O Thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5 Hold Thou the cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
