Bear the Message

Author: Frank A. Breck Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Choir Pieces First Line: Go tell to souls benighted, of the Lord who came Refrain First Line: Press onward ere the night is falling Lyrics: 1 Go tell to souls benighted, of the Lord who came, Speak His name—love proclaim; Go tell the gospel story, that the lost may know, Bring salvation near. O bid them come repenting, bid them come today, Help them say, "I obey." Bear the blessed message, hasten now to go, Go with love sincere. Chorus: Press onward ere the night is falling, Onward, hear the Saviour calling, Hear Him gently, sweetly say, "I will be with thee alway," Peace and joy to bring, Press onward, never danger fearing, Onward, brightest hope is nearing, Darkness shall no more enthrall, Christ our light shall shine for all, He shall reign our King. 2 In lands beyond the rolling of the ocean foam, Wand'rers roam—bring them home; O lead them to the Saviour and His pard'ning love— He will give them rest, And they who long have wandered soon will learn to see How to be truly free, Living for the kingdom of the land above, Safe and glad and blest. [Chorus] 3 Go bear the joyful message ev'rywhere you may, Work and pray—day by day; Lift burdens from the weary, cheer the grieving heart— Walk where Jesus trod. O be a beam of sunshine that reflects His light, Pure and bright, in the night, Helping many sinners choose the "better part" In the love of God. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Go tell to souls benighted, of the Lord who came]

The Kingdom of Heaven

Author: Colin Sterne Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Choir Pieces First Line: What are you seeking day by day Refrain First Line: For the Kingdom of Heav'n is better Lyrics: 1 What are you seeking day by day, Working with heart and hand?

Chorus: For the Kingdom of Heav'n is better Than pearls of a priceless worth, Than treasures great, or pomp of state, Than the kingdom of all the earth. It ever abideth within you, This home of the life divine, Let the dark clouds roll from your heart and soul, Let the Light of the Kingdom shine. 2 What are you seeking day by day? Is it for something new? Is it for pleasures bright and gay, Brief as the morning dew? Seek ye the Kingdom evermore, Joys shall be added then, Greater than all that you felt before, ever renew'd again. [Chorus] 3 What are you seeking day by day, Comrade so brave and true? Is it for some great thing to say? Some noble deed to do? Give to the Master heart and hand, Follow in truth and love, So shall you share in His work and stand Crown'd in the life above. [Chorus] 4 Enter the Kingdom, child of truth, Seeking the Saviour's face; Enter the Kingdom, maid and youth, Come in your strength and grace; Enter the Kingdom one and all, Cease from the path to stray, Hear ye the voice of the Master call, 'I am the living Way.' [Chorus] Used With Tune: [What are you seeking day by day]

Away to the Harvest Field

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Choir Pieces First Line: Away to the harvest field, toilers, away Refrain First Line: Away, away, away, away Lyrics: 1 Away to the harvest field, toilers, away; Go gather the golden grain whilst it is day, Strength meet for thy labour thy Lord will bestow. Away to the harvest field, labourers, go, For now is the time to be doing thy best, Soon, soon will be coming the season for rest. Refrain: Away, away, away, away, For soon will be ended The bright, the bright harvest day. Away, away, away, away, For soon will be ended The bright, the bright harvest day. 2 Behold how the ripen'd grain bends to the earth! The harvest is ready, oh, why such a dearth Of labourers ready and willing to toil? Will they listlessly suffer the rich grain to spoil? No, it must not be so; to the field hie away, With heart and with hand to the work whilst it is day. [Refrain] 3 O say not, "No work of this sort can I do," For some kind of toil there is even for you, For if the keen sickle thy hand may not wield, Bind together the sheaves, or else glean in the field. If you follow the reapers over the ground, Full many a rich golden ear shall be found. [Refrain] 4 And when the last sheaf to the garner has come, And saints join with angels to shout, "Harvest home," When labour is over, then rest and reward, And the welcome, "Well done," from the lips of the Lord. Away to the harvest field, toil while you may, Soon, soon will be ended the bright harvest day. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Away to the harvest field, toilers, away]

Build on the Rock

Author: Colin Sterne Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Choir Pieces First Line: What are you building, brother Refrain First Line: Then build on the Rock, the Rock that ever stands Lyrics: 1 What are you building, brother, So busily day by day? Is it a mighty castle of stone? Is it a house of clay? Whose is the plan you build on? What are the stones and lime? Is it based on the Rock of eternity, Or the sands of the shores of time? Chorus: Then build on the Rock, the Rock that ever stands, O build on the Rock, and not upon the sands! You need not fear the storm or the earthquake shock, You're safe for evermore if you build on the Rock. 2 What are you building, brother, You work at it ev'ry day; Something is added, something is changed, Something is cast away. Is it a house of pleasure? Is it a house of sin? Or a temple divine for the Light of lights To descend and abide within? [Chorus] 3 Brother, a time is coming, When all shall be tried by fire; Storms of the world shall beat on your house, Winds of a fierce desire. Then, if you based it wrongly, Great will the ruin be; But if built on the firm and unchanging Rock It will stand for eternity. [Chorus] 4 Build on the Rock, then, brother, How grandly it towers above! Piercing the clouds and the starry skies, Lost in the heights of Love! Heaven and earth shall perish, Grow like a garment old; But the Rock is the same, and it shall not fail, Thro' the ages of time untold. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [What are you building, brother]

Strong are the foes that bar our way, Many the sins we have to slay, Still we shall rise and win the day, Tho' oft in the dust laid low. [Chorus] 3 What is the secret of your great pow'r, Soldiers bright, Full of might? Why are you fearless in danger's hour— Strong with the foe to cope? Jesus it is that makes us strong, Trusting in Him we march along, He ever fills our hearts with song, Our eyes with the light of hope. [Chorus] 4 Where is the home you are marching to, Hearts of youth, Hearts of truth? Is there a kingdom beyond the blue, Where you may rest from strife? Jesus has said that we shall stand, Victors of faith at His right hand, Crown'd in the light of God's own land With joy and eternal life.
