How Sweet To Trust In Jesus

Author: W. J. H. Brearley Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: How sweet to trust in Jesus! Lyrics: 1 How sweet to trust in Jesus! To know no trust beside; To find in Him a refuge, Our weary soul to hide; To lean on love eternal, And in that love abide, To lean on love eternal, And in that love abide. 2 How sweet to follow Jesus! To seek no other road; Obediently and trustingly, To walk the path He trod; ’Tis hallowed by His footprints, And nighest unto God. ’Tis hallowed by His footprints, And nighest unto God. 3 Ah! then to learn of Jesus! This is a task most sweet; To choose the better portion, Like Mary at His feet; With soul and body sanctified, For His blest use made meet, With soul and body sanctified, For His blest use made meet. 4 And as we work for Jesus, We wait His face to see; The morning star has risen, The night’s dark shadows flee; A little while, and we shall dwell, With Him eternally; A little while, and we shall dwell, With Him eternally; Used With Tune: BINGÖL Text Sources: Song-Land Messenger No. 2 by Anthony J.

Bickersteth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 69 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O brothers, lift your voices, Triumphant songs to raise; Till heaven on high rejoices, And earth is filled with praise: Ten thousand hearts are bounding With holy hopes and free; The gospel trump is sounding, The trump of Jubilee. 2 O Christian brothers, glorious Shall be the conflict's close; The cross hath been victorious, And shall be o'er its foes: Faith is our battle token; Our Leader all controls; Our trophies, fetters broken; Our captives, ransomed souls. 3 Not unto us, Lord Jesus: To Thee all praise be due, Whose blood-bought mercy frees us, Has freed our brethren too. Not unto us: in glory The angels catch the strain, And cast their crowns before Thee Exultingly again. 4 Great God of our salvation, Thy presence we adore; Praise, glory, adoration Be Thine forevermore; Still on in conflict pressing On Thee Thy people call, Thee King of kings confessing, Thee crowning Lord of all.

O God of Every Nation

Author: William W. Reid, Jr. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation, Of every race and land, Redeem the whole creation With Your almighty hand; Where hate and fear divide us And bitter threats are hurled, In love and mercy guide us And heal our strife-torn world. 2 From search for wealth and power And scorn of truth and right, From trust in bombs that shower Destruction through the night, From pride of race and station And blindness to Your way, Deliver every nation, Eternal God, we pray! 3 Lord, strengthen those who labor That we may find release From fear of rattling saber, From dread of war's increase; When hope and courage falter, Your still small voice be heard; With faith that none can alter, Your servants undergird. 4 Keep bright in us the vision Of days when war shall cease, When hatred and division Give way to love and peace, Till dawns the morning glorious When peace on earth shall reign And Christ shall rule victorious O'er all the world's domain.

Awake, My Heart, And Marvel

Author: H. Brueckner; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart, and marvel At nature's beauty fair; The woodlands and the meadows Are clad with blossoms rare; The earth is wrapt in sunlight, The birds with voices clear Extol their Maker's glory And fill the world with cheer. 2 Like waters undulating Our fields of grain are seen, And zephyrs bear sweet odors Like breaths from forests green. We hear the brances whisper Up in the linden tree, And now the woodbine arbor Love's home alone can be. 3 The early summer roses In rapture we behold, And ev'ry morn new flowers Their fragrant buds unfold. From heaven far above us Shines down the deepest blue, And from the earth below us Spring plants of verdant hue. 4 O heart of mine, throw open Thy windows wide and far, Lest from its deep recesses God's sun of love thou bar. He who suspends the rainbow Across the clouded sky Still with His hands sustains thee When storms are rising high. Topics: Praise Used With Tune: COMMIT THY WAY

Arise, the kingdom is at hand, The King is drawing nigh; Arise with joy, thou faithful band, To meet the Lord most high! Look up, ye souls, weighed down with care, The Sovereign is not far; Look up, faint hearts, from your despair, Behold the Morning Star! 2. Look up, ye drooping hearts, today, The King is very near; O cast your griefs and fears away, For, lo, your help is here! Hope on, ye broken hearts, at last The King comes in His might; He loved us in the ages past When we lay wrapped in night. 3. Look up, ye souls weighed down with care, The Sovereign is not far! Look up, faint hearts, from your despair, Behold the Morning Star! The Lord is with us now, who shall The sinking spirit feed With strength and comfort at its need To whom e’en death shall bow. 4. Hope, O ye broken hearts, at last! The King comes on in might, He loved us in the ages past When we sat wrapped in night; Now are our sorrows o’er, and fear And wrath to joy give place, Since God hath made us in His grace His children evermore. 5. O rich the gifts Thou bringest us, Thyself made poor and weak; O love beyond compare that thus Can foes and sinners seek! For this we raise a gladsome voice On high to Thee alone, And evermore with thanks rejoice Before Thy glorious throne. Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE Text Sources: Sabbatische Seelenlust (Lüneburg: 1651)
