Come and make us, blessed Saviour, ever more Thine own! Blessed Saviour, evermore Thine own! 2 Is it true that He the crown of piercing thorns did wear? Is it true that up the mountain He the cross did bear, And was crucified upon it, thus to ransom me? O amazing love and mercy! Saviour, can it be? [Chorus] 3 Is it true that my Redeemer loves my spirit still, And will fit me up a mansion, if I only will? O my heart, make haste to serve Him, while on earth I dwell, That in death my voice can whisper, whisper it is well!

Author: D. D. Buck, D.D. Hymnal: GPBC1885 #48 (1885) First Line: If we can not plant our cottage Lyrics: 1 If we can not plant our cottage ‘Mid an Eden’s blooming bow’rs, Whiling life’s delightful summer Gaily ‘mid unfading flow’rs— We with holy love can labor, Tilling Zion’s fertile lands; We can consecrate to duty Willing hearts and ready hands. 2 If we can not win a title To enwreathe our humble name; If we boast not birth nor beauty, Wealth nor wisdom, mighty nor fame— We can still be kindly-hearted, Acting well our lowly part; And, tho’ men may be ungrateful, God will prize the humble heart. 3 If we can not read the future, Whether weal or woe betide, If within the veil of darkness Mercy from our vision hide,— We can understand our mission, What is here to do or bear; We can love and help each other, And the cross with Jesus share. 4 Let us, then, be ever doing; Day declineth, night is near; Short the time of toil and suff’ring; Jesus numbers every tear. See! the pearly gates are opening; Lo! the splendor from above; List to lov’d ones yonder singing, Welcome to the land of love.
