Near the Cross Was Mary Weeping

Author: Jacopone da Todi; Henry Mills Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Near the cross was Mary weeping, There her mournful station keeping, Gazing on her dying Son; There in speechless anguish groaning, Yearning, trembling, sighing, moaning, Through her soul the sword had gone. 2. When no eye its pity gave us, When there was no arm to save us, He His love and power displayed: By His stripes He wrought our healing, By His death, our life revealing, He for us the ransom paid. 3. Jesus, may Thy love constrain us, That from sin we may refrain us, In Thy griefs may deeply grieve; Thee our best affections giving, To Thy glory ever living, May we in Thy glory live.

The Land Beyond the Sea

Author: Valdimar Briem; Charles Venn Pilcher Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I stand by the lonely breakers Lyrics: I stand by the lonely breakers And gaze o'er the misty sea, Which wrapt in the clouds of winter Is heaving sullenly: 'Tis a shore where gaunt Need reigneth, And Woe with her freezing breath; For the shore is the shore of the dying, And the sea is the sea of death. But far o'er the dim horizon There lieth a land that is fair; The sun with his gorgeous colours Is painting the cloud-banks there: There, robing the green hill-shoulders, The golden flowerets grow; And the fruit-trees' cloaks of blossom In the spicy breezes blow. Girt round with a mystic glory Fair palaces I behold, With many a sculptured pillar, With many a tower of gold; The hosts of the saved, resplendent In glistering white array, Mid rapture untold are thronging Those corridors of day. In silence I yearn as I listen To the far-off chime of bells: How nobly the voice of worship Through the heavenly Temple swells! I hark to the shout of the victors, I list to the angels' lays, As they sing to the Lord of Glory Grand anthems of endless praise. Speak! Is this a baseless fabric Reared high by the dreams of man? Nay! Nay! tis the fair fulfilment Of God's everlasting plan. Sure speaks the eternal promise, Sure works the almighty grace, Till the strife-men of earth are marshalled Triumphant before God's face.

Goodly Were Thy Tents, O Israel

Author: Samuel Wolcott Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Goodly were thy tents, O Israel, Spread along the river’s side; Bright thy star, which rose prophetic, Herald of dominion wide; Fairer are the homes of freemen, Scattered o’er our broad domain; Brighter is our rising daystar, Ush’ring in a purer reign. 2. Welcome to the glorious freedom, Which our fathers hither brought; Welcome to the priceless treasure, Which with constant faith they sought! See, from ev’ry nation gath’ring, Swarming myriads throng our coasts, Hear, with steady steps advancing, Ceaseless tread of countless hosts. 3. God of nations! Our Preserver, Hear our prayers, our counsels bless; Lift o’er all Thy radiant banner, On these souls Thy love impress; From Thy throne of endless blessing O’er our land Thy Spirit pour; In the grandeur of Thine empire Reign supreme from shore to shore.

Have You Not a Word for Jesus?

Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: HAWES

Is Thy Cruse of Comfort Failing

Author: Elizabeth Charles Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 44 hymnals First Line: Is thy cruse of comfort failing? Lyrics: 1. Is thy cruse of comfort failing? Rise and share it with another, And thro' all the years of famine It shall serve thee and thy brother; Love divine will fill thy store-house, Or thy handful still renew; Scanty fare for one will often Make a royal feast for two. 2. For the heart grows rich in giving; All its wealth is living grain; Seeds which mildew in the garner, Scattered, fill with gold the plain. Is thy burden hard and heavy? Do thy steps drag wearily? Help to bear thy brother's burden, God will bear both it and thee. 3. Numb and weary on the mountain, Wouldst thou sleep amidst the snow? Chafe that frozen form beside thee, And together both shall glow. Art thou stricken in life's battle? Many wounded round thee moan; Lavish on their wounds thy balsams, And that balm shall heal thine own. 4. Is the heart a well left empty? None but God its void can fill; Nothing but a ceaseless Fountain Can its ceaseless longings still. Is the heart a living power? Self-entwined, its strength sinks low; It can only live in loving, And by serving love will grow. Topics: The Christian Life Fellowship With Believers Used With Tune: CARITAS
