A Word for Jesus

Author: F. R. Havergal Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #250 (1885) First Line: Have you not a word for Jesus Refrain First Line: Yes, we have a word for Jesus Lyrics: 1 Have you not a word for Jesus, Not a word to say for Him? He is list’ning thro’ the chorus Of the burning seraphim! He is list’ning, does He hear you Speaking of the things of earth? Only of its passing pleasures, Selfish sorrow, empty mirth? Chorus: Yes, we have a word for Jesus! We will boldly speak His name! We will tell the wondrous story, And his matchless love proclaim! 2 Have you not a word for Jesus, Will the world His praise proclaim? Who shall speak if you are silent, You who know and love His name? You whom He hath called and chosen His own witnesses to be, Will you tell your gracious Master, Lord, we cannot speak for Thee? [Chorus] 3 “Cannot!” tho’ He suffered for you, Died that you His love might know? “Cannot!” tho’ He has forgiven Making scarlet white as snow? “Cannot!” tho’ His grace abounding Is your freely promised aid? “Cannot!” tho’ He stands beside you, Tho’ He says, “Be not afraid?” [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Have you not a word for Jesus]

Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2186 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1. Have you not a word for Jesus? Not a word to say for Him? He is listening through the chorus Of the burning seraphim. He has spoken words of blessing, Pardon, peace and love to you, Glorious hopes and gracious comfort, Strong and tender, sweet and true. 2. Have you not a word for Jesus? Will the world His praise proclaim? Who shall speak if ye are silent— Ye who know and love His name? You, whom He hath called and chosen His own followers to be, Will you tell your gracious Master, Lord, we cannot speak for Thee. 3. Have you not a word for Jesus? Some, perchance, while ye are dumb, Wait and weary for your message, Hoping you will bid them, Come. Will you cast away the gladness Thus your master’s joy to share, All because a word for Jesus Seems too much for you to dare? 4. Yes, we have a word for Jesus, We will bravely speak for Thee; And Thy bold and faithful soldiers, Savior, we would henceforth be. In Thy name set up our banners, While Thine own we wave above, With Thy crimson name of Mercy, And Thy golden name of Love. Languages: English Tune Title: HAWES
