Speed Thy Servants

Author: T. Kelly Appears in 79 hymnals First Line: Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them Lyrics: 1 Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them; Thou art Lord of winds and waves: They were bound, but thou hast freed them; Now they go to free the slaves; Be thou with them, be thou with them; 'Tis thine arm alone that saves. 2 Friends and home and all forsaking, Lord, they go at thy command, As their stay thy promise taking, While they traverse sea and land O, be with them, O, be with them; Lead them safely by the hand. 2 Where no fruit appears to cheer them, And they seem to toil in vain. Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them, Then their sinking hopes sustain; Thus supported, Thus supported Bid their zeal revive again. 3 In the midst of opposition May they trust, O Lord in thee: When success attends their mission, May thy servants humble be; Never leave them, Never leave them, Till thy face in heav'n they see.

Author: Justus Falckner; Emma Frances Bevan Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise, ye children of salvation, All who cleave to Christ the Head! Wake, arise, O mighty nation, Ere the foe on Zion tread; He draws nigh, and would defy All the hosts of God Most High. 2 Saints and heroes, long before us, Firmly on this ground have stood; See their banner waving o’er us, Conquerors through the Saviour’s Blood! Ground we hold, whereon of old, Fought the faithful and the bold. 3 Fighting, we shall be victorious By the Blood of Christ our Lord; On our foreheads, bright and glorious, Shines the witness of His Word; Spear and shield on battlefield, His great name; we cannot yield. 4 When His servants stand before Him, Each receiving his reward,-- When His saints in light adore Him, Giving glory to the Lord,-- "Victory!" our song shall be, Like the thunder of the sea. Amen. Used With Tune: NEANDER

Crown him! Crown him! Crowns become the victor's brow. 2 Crown the Savior! Angels crown him! Rich the trophies Jesus brings; on the seat of pow'r enthrone him while the vault of heaven rings. Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown the Savior, King of kings. 3 Sinners in derision crowned him, mocking thus the Savior's claim; saints and angels crowd around him, own his title, praise his name. Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Spread abroad the victor's fame! 4 Hark! those burst of acclamation! Hark! those loud triumphant chords! Jesus takes the highest station; O, what joy the sight affords! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! King of kings and Lord of lords!
