Look, O Christian!
Author: William P. Balfern Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Look, O Christian! see thy Savior Lyrics: 1 Look, O Christian! see thy Savior
Stooping ’neath His weighty cross;
Look! and let thy pride and glory
Be to thee as dung and dross.
Mark His torn and bleeding temples,
And His weary, way-worn feet;
Let thy heart now bow before Him,
And thine eyes all tearful weep.
2 See His back all scarred and bleeding,
Patiently thy griefs He bears;
See the purple robe around Him,
And the crown of thorns He wears:
All alone in His sad travail,
Help and friends all far away;
But a little of His sorrow
Filled their hearts with sore dismay.
3 See the rabble, how they mock Him!
Still no fear His faith appalls;
Onwards ’neath His cross He staggers,
Till beneath its weight He falls;
Faint, forsaken, bruised and smitten,
Sad and lonely on He goes,
Goes to where His heart’s blood flowing
Shall for ever cleanse His foes.
4 ’Mid the taunts of men and devils,
See Him slowly onwards move;
Drops of blood all silent flowing,
Speak His everlasting love.
Many waters round Him raging,
Deep loud bellows unto deep;
Still His love, unquenched and burning,
To the end His heart shall keep.
5 O disciples, cease your dreaming,
While thus gazing on your Lord;
Can this world now claim your friendship,
Sheathed in Jesu’s heart its sword?
Can your path be ever pleasant,
Ever free your heart from pain,
If in Jesu’s footsteps treading
You would reach eternal gain?
6 If a cross your Savior carried,
Needful it for Him to bear,
Can you wonder love hath purposed
In His sorrows you should share?
Still, within the cross Christ gives you,
Kindly stooping from above,
You will find the hidden honey
Of His never-failing love.
7 ’Neath its shadow and its sorrows
Joy shall plume her fragrant wing;
And thy heart, though pierced and bleeding,
Songs of lofty hope shall sing.
Be thou strong, then—look to Jesus!
In thy lot a cross thoul’t find;
Take it up and cheerful bear it,
Cast no lingering look behind. Used With Tune: EIFIONYDD Text Sources: Gethsemane; or, Incidents in the Great Sorrow, with Hymns of the Passion (London: Nelson and Sons, 1882)

There Were Whisperings In The Heavens
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There were whisperings in the heavens,
There were murmurings in the clouds;
There were harp-tones full of sweetness
From the joyous angel crowds;
There were songs from holy voices,
There was brightness o’er the morn,
And all nature thrilled with gladness,
When our Savior, Christ, was born.
2 It was in a lonely manger
Where the Son of God was laid,
And did naught of grandeur comfort
That pure holy mother maid;
But in stillness and in beauty,
While the shepherds round adored,
Slept in love and loving tenderest
Virgin mother and her Lord.
3 And the angels, hovering, guarded
Him with love-extended wing,
Sweetly singing hope for sinners,
And of glory to their king.
Let us learn to love like Jesus,
And like Him for sorrows mourn,
Nor forget ’twas God who loved us,
When our Savior, Christ, was born. Used With Tune: ASSYNT Text Sources: Festival Poems (Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1884)

Will you meet me over there?

When we reach that land so blest,
When o’er sin and death we’ve triumphed,
And have entered into rest. [Refrain]

Robed in garments pure and white,
Stand the blood washed of all ages,
Who from earth have taken flight. [Refrain]
4 There the tree of life is blooming,
By the waters pure and sweet;
There we’ll join the angels’ singing,
Bending low at Jesus’ feet. [Refrain] Used With Tune: LEWISHAM Text Sources: The Best Gospel Songs and Their Composers (Dalton, GA: A. J. Showalter Company, 1904)

Conscience Stings
Author: D. S. Warner Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: In the chambers of thy bosom Refrain First Line: Come, poor sinner, lost and sighing Lyrics: 1 In the chambers of thy bosom,
Lives a faithful monitor,
Keeping vigil for thy freedom,
Bidding thee all sin abhor.
Refrain:
Come, poor sinner, lost and sighing,
Do obey that inner voice;
Hark, it tells of Jesus dying—
Make His love thy holy choice.

Heaven placed that sentinel,
Thee to guard and keep forever
From the awful road to hell. [Refrain]
3 See the precious blood of Jesus,
It will purge thy conscience pure,
Then in heaven’s sweet approval,
Peace will flow forevermore. [Refrain]

’Gainst the very love of God;
Hence thy guilty conscience, stinging,
Smites thee with an angry rod. [Refrain]
5 Louder, louder, conscience crying,
Suffers not thy soul to rest;
Nearer, nearer, comes thy dying,
Can you face the solemn test? [Refrain]

With thy spirit it will fly;
Yea, torment, and chide the ever,
Where the worm shall never die. [Refrain]
