One Race, One Gospel, One Task

Author: Margaret Clarkson Meter: 14.14.4.7.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: One is the race of mankind under sin's condemnation Lyrics: 1 One is the race of mankind under sin's condemnation, one is the gospel that frees us from death's domination; one is our task--sin, death and hell to unmask, showing God's way of salvation. 2 One is the Word that can speak to our fallen condition: Jesus alone can redeem us and give sin's remission. His saving name we must forever proclaim: only in Christ is salvation. 3 One is the task that our Lord to his Church has committed; his is the Spirit by whom for his work we are fitted. No more our own, we serve the Master alone-- Jesus, who won our salvation! 4 One is the hope of eternal rejoicing before us; one is the song we shall share in God's heavenly chorus: till that glad day let us Christ's mandate obey-- tell the whole world of salvation.

Triumph, ye heavens! rejoice ye with high adoration!

Author: G. Tersteegen Meter: 14.14.4.7.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Triumph, ye heavens! rejoice ye with high adoration! Sing to the Lord, to the Savior, in glad exultation! Angels give ear! God unto men draweth near, Bringing to lost ones salvation. 2 Triumph, ye heavens! rejoice, O ye nations and wonder! God and the sinner no power of the devil may sunder. "Peace and good-will!" Hark! it is echoing still, Silencing Sinai's thunder! 3 God in man’s nature! O mystery past comprehending! Now is the temple thrown wide and the incense ascending! Christ is the way! We who were once far away, Now at His footstool are bending. 4 Hast Thou, O Holy One, deigned of my need to be thinking? Chosen me, called me, the waters of life to be drinking? Shall not my mind Fullness of blessing here find, Deep in humility sinking? 5 King of all glory! what grace in Thy humiliation! Thou wert a child who of old wert the Lord of creation! Thee will I own, thee would I follow alone, Heir of Thy wondrous salvation. 6 Faithful Immanuel! let me Thy glories be telling; Ever, my Savior, be Thou in mine inmost heart dwelling. With me abide; Teach me to stay at Thy side, Where the love-fountain is welling. 7 Friend of the sinner! Lord Jesus! my spirit is soaring Where Thou art throned, on Thy head the sweet spikenard still pouring. Take me above, There will I sing of Thy love, Ever Thy person adoring.

Down by the Jordan

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 14.14.4.7.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Down by the Jordan, a prophet named John was baptizing Lyrics: Down by the Jordan, a prophet named John was baptizing, Preaching a message the people found bold and surprising: "God will forgive! Show that you'll change how you live! Surely God's new day is rising!" There by the river, the crowd came with great expectation: "Are you God's Chosen One, sent here to rescue our nation?" "No!" John replied. "He who is mightier than I Judges and offers salvation." Jesus, you went to be baptized with all of the others, Taking your place among sinners, God's lost sons and daughters. Then with great love, God's Spirit came as a dove! Your work began in those waters. Here in the Church, we are baptized and filled with God's Spirit. Freed and forgiven, we're welcomed with joy! Can you hear it? This is God's sign! This is how God says, "You're mine!" Let's take the good news and share it!

God of our fathers, the strength of our people and nation, Gladly we come to Thy presence with true adoration, Seeking Thy face, trusting Thy love and Thy grace, Thou art our health and salvation. 2. God of all mercy, for pardon and peace we implore Thee, Humbly confessing our faults and our failures before Thee. Children of men, falling and rising again, Still give us grace to adore Thee. 3. God of the poor and the weak, to our prayer now attending, Teach us to follow the Master of all men in blending Worship with deed, praises with service to need, All men in His name befriending. 4. God of all peoples, let justice and peace like a river Flow through the world until all, in one common endeavor, Build among men brotherhood’s kingdom, and then Thine be the glory forever.
