Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823 - 95 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #553 (1958) Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823 - 95 Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea, Day by day his clear voice soundeth, Saying, 'Christian, follow me!' 2 As of St. Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home and toil and kindred, Leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store; From each idol that would keep us, Saying, 'Christian, love me more.' A-men. 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still he calls, in cares and pleasures, 'Christian, love me more than these.' 5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear thy call, Give our hearts to thine obedience, Serve and love thee best of all. Amen.

A-men. 3 For the Lord our God shall come, And shall take his harvest home; From his field shall in that day All offences purge away; Give his angels charge at last In the fire the tares to cast; But the fruitful ears to store In his garner evermore. 4 Even so, Lord, quickly come To thy final harvest-home; Gather thou thy people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin, There for ever purified, In thy presence to abide: Come, with all thine angels, come, Raise the glorious harvest-home.

Forward! be our watch-word

Author: Henry Alford, 1810 - 71 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #565 (1958) Person Name: Henry Alford, 1810 - 71 Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watchword, Steps and voices joined; Seek the things before us, Not a look behind; Burns the fiery pillar At our army's head; Who shall dream of shrinking, By our Captain led? Forward through the desert, Through the toil and fight; Jordan flows before us, Sion beams with light. 2 Glories upon glories Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love Him One day to be shared; Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard; Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech a word. Forward, marching eastward Where the heaven is bright, Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight. 3 Far o'er yon horizon Rise the city towers; Where our God abideth, That fair home is ours: Flash the streets with jasper, Shine the gates with gold; Flows the gladdening river, Shedding joys untold: Thither, onward thither, In the Spirit's might; Pilgrims, to your country, Forward into light! 4 To the Father's glory Loudest anthems raise; To the Son and Spirit Echo songs of praise; To the Lord almighty, Blessèd Three in One, Be by men and angels Endless honor done. Weak are earthly praises, Dull the songs of night; Forward into triumph Forward into light!

Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: AWAY IN A MANGER
