Rise up, O men of God!

Author: William Pierson Merrill, 1867 - 1954 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #541 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Rise up, O men of God! Have done with lesser things; Give heart and soul and mind and strength To serve the King of kings. 2 Rise up, O men of God! His kingdom tarries long; Bring in the day of brotherhood, And end the night of wrong. 3 Rise up, O men of God! The Church for you doth wait, Her strength unequal to her task; Rise up and make her great! 4 Lift high the Cross of Christ! Tread where his feet have trod; As brothers of the Son of Man, Rise up, O men of God!

Son of God, eternal Saviour

Author: Somerset Corry Lowry, 1855 - 1932 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #542 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Saviour, Source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth incarnate Hallows all our human race, Thou our Head, who, throned in glory, For thine own dost ever plead, Fill us with thy love and pity, Heal our wrongs, and help our need. 2 As thou, Lord, hast lived for others, So may we for others live; Freely have thy gifts been granted, Freely may thy servants give. Thine the gold and thine the silver, Thine the wealth of land and sea, We but stewards of thy bounty, Held in solemn trust for thee. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign above us, King of love, and Prince of Peace: Hush the storm of strife and passion, Bid its cruel discords cease; By thy patient years of toiling, By thy silent hours of pain, Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, Shame our selfish greed of gain. 4 Dark the path that lies behind us, Strewn with wrecks and stained with blood; But before us gleams the vision Of the coming brotherhood. Thou who prayedst, thou who willest That thy people should be one, Grant, O grant our hope's fruition: Here on earth thy will be done. Amen.

Blest be the tie that binds

Author: John Fawcett, 1740 - 1817 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #543 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love: The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. 2 Before our Father’s throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear, And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

We give thee but thine own

Author: William Walsham How, 1823 - 97 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #544a (1958) Lyrics: 1 We give thee but thine own, Whate'er the gift may be; All that we have is thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from thee. 2 May we thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as thou blessest us, To thee our first-fruits give. 3 O hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled Are straying from the fold; A-men. 4 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless, Is angels' work below. 5 The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace, It is a Christlike thing. 6 And we believe thy word, Though dim our faith may be; Whate'er for thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto thee.

The wise may bring their learning

Hymnal: SBHC1958 #545 (1958) Lyrics: 1 The wise may bring their learning, The rich may bring their wealth, And some may bring their greatness, And some bring strength and health; We, too, would bring our treasures To offer to the King; We have no wealth or learning: What shall we children bring? 2 We'll bring him hearts that love him; We'll bring him thankful praise, And young souls meekly striving To walk in holy ways; And these shall be the treasures We offer to the King, And these are gifts that even The poorest child may bring. 3 We'll bring the little duties We have to do each day; We'll try our best to please him, At home, at school, at play; And better are these treasures To offer to our King, Than richest gifts without them; Yet these a child may bring.

Let us now our voices raise

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66; St. Joseph the Hymnographer, d. 883 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #546 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Let us now our voices raise, Wake the day with gladness; God Himself to joy and praise Turns our human sadness; Joy that martyrs won their crown, Opened heaven's bright portal, When they laid the mortal down For the life immortal. 2 Never flinched they from the flame, From the torment never; Vain the tyrant’s sharpest aim, Vain each fierce endeavor: For by faith they saw the land Decked in all its glory, Where triumphant now they stand With the victor’s story. 3 Up and follow, Christian men! Press through toil and sorrow; Spurn the night of fear, and then, O the glorious morrow! Who will venture on the strife; Who will first begin it? Who will grasp the Land of Life? Warriors, up and win it! Topics: The Life In Christ Service Languages: English Tune Title: WEIMAR

Once to every man and nation

Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819 - 91 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #547 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth and falsehood, For the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new messiah, Offering each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by for ever 'Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 Then to side with truth is noble, When we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, And 'tis prosperous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses, While the coward stands aside, Till the multitude make virtue Of the faith they had denied. 3 By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, thy bleeding feet we track, Toiling up new Calvaries ever With the Cross that turns not back. New occasions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward Who would keep abreast of truth. 4 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 'tis truth alone is strong; Though her portion be the scaffold And upon the throne be wrong, Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, Keeping watch above his own.

Saviour, thee my heart I tender

Author: John Burton, 1803 - 77 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #549 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, thee my heart I tender, I would yield myself to thee; All my powers to thee surrender, Thine and only thine to be. Send me, Lord, where thou wilt send me, Only do thou guide my way; May thy grace through life attend me, Gladly then shall I obey. 2 Let me do thy will or bear it; I would know no will but thine; Shouldst thou take my life or spare it, I that life to thee resign. Thine I am, O Lord, for ever, To thy service set apart; Suffer me to leave thee never; Seal thine image on my heart. Amen.
