"Christian, seek not yet repose"

Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 7.7.7.3 Appears in 204 hymnals Lyrics: "Christian, seek not yet repose," Hear thy guardian angel say; "Thou art in the midst of foes: Watch and pray!" Principalities and powers, Mustering their unseen array, Wait for thy unguarded hours: Watch and pray! Gird thy heavenly armour on, Wear it ever, night and day; Ambushed lies the evil one: Watch and pray! Hear the victors who o'ercame; Still they mark each warrior's way; All with one sweet voice exclaim: "Watch and pray!" Hear, above all, hear thy Lord, Him thou lovest to obey; Hide within thy heart his word: "Watch and pray!" Watch, as if on that alone Hung the issue of the day; Pray that help may be sent down: Watch and pray! Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Used With Tune: VIGILATE

Let Us Go To Galilee

Author: P. C. Paulsen Meter: 7.7.7.3 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us go to Galilee, To the land across the sea, Where the hills have heard the Word Of our Lord. 2 Echoes ring from hill to hill, Voices sound across the rill: He is coming through the lea, Blest is He. 3 There He is, the Prophet true, Coming slowly into view, With the bearing of a king, Joy to bring. 4 Hearts aglow with joyful song, Children join the happy throng; Multitudes with one accord Hail Him Lord. 5 Seated on the grassy slope, Heaven opens, words of hope Lift the souls to God on high, Christ is nigh. 6 How I long to see the Lord, Hear Him speak His holy Word, In the land across the sea, Galilee.

Heavy laden with thy grief

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.7.7.3 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: I Heavy laden with thy grief, Do thy tears like raindrops flow? Christ hath all thy sorrows borne Long ago. II See Him in the garden, prone, While He poured His soul to God; Then He bore affliction keen, And the rod. III Weary, laden with thy sin, Dost thou bow beneath the load? Cast the burden of thy woe, On thy God. IV See Him faint beneath the load, As He bears the ghastly tree; Hear His weary spirit sigh, All for thee. V Sad and doubting, lo! the sun Shines upon a glorious day: He is risen! come, see the place Where He lay. VI Glory to our suffering Lord, Praise to our exalted King,— Source of life and endless bliss,— Let us bring. Hymns from the East, 1907

II Pure as saints who have attained, Clad in brightness for attire, Cleanse our souls by vileness stained, Spirit, Fire. III Stronger than uplifted arm In the tumult of the fight, Save our timid souls from harm, Spirit, Might. IV Soothing as the calm that falls When the winds and billows cease, Comfort us when fear appals, Spirit, Peace. V Come, O Gracious Spirit, come, We would have Thee for our Guest, Make our souls Thy chosen home, Spirit, Blest. Hymns from the Morningland, 1911

Ring, Sweet Bells of Christendom

Author: Harriet M. Kimball Meter: 7.7.7.3 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Ring, sweet bells of Christendom, Everywhere the tidings tell How the Lord to earth did come— Ring and tell! 2 Swift to seek and save the lost, More than merciful He came; Glad to pay life’s bitter cost Jesus came. 3 Prince of Peace, the heav’nly King, As a mortal babe disguised He appeared whom angels sing— Earth-disguised. 4 Love divine in human frame, Of the lowly lowliest He; Stripped of glory, in His shame Gloried He. 5 Empty-handed from His birth, Gifts exceeding price He brought; Treasures hidden not in earth Jesus brought. 6 To the blind, unclouded sight; To the dumb, the voice of praise; And to all in darkness, light— Joy and praise. 7 To the poor, the Gospel’s wealth; To the rich, the spirit poor; And to all His saving health— Rich and poor. 7 To the heavy-laden, rest; To the mourner, words of life; And to all—the last and best— Endless life. 9 In the perfect path He trod, Still His footprints mark the way; Out to men and up to God Show the way. 10 Out to men in love that breaks Bread of charity with all, And—thrice blessed then— forsakes Self for all. 11 Up to God in deeds like prayers, In obedience to Him, And in faith—love’s altar-stairs Reared to Him. 12 Ring, sweet bells of Christendom, Far and near the tidings tell How the Lord to earth did come— Ring and tell! 13 Join, good Christians, east and west, In Emmanuel’s endless praise, And with deeds of mercy best Show His praise! 14 Still the Christmas angels sing: "Glory be to God Most High!" The eternal echoes ring: "God Most High!" 15 Lift your songs in unison: "Peace on earth, good-will to men!" Mingle song and life in one Wide "Amen!"
