Till He Come

Author: Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr. Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 252 hymnals First Line: Till He come O let the words Lyrics: 1. Till He come O let the words Linger on the trembling chords, Let the little while between In their golden light be seen; Let us think how Heaven and home Lie beyond that, Till He come. 2. When the weary ones we love Enter on their rest above, Seems the earth so poor and vast, All our life joy overcast? Hush, be every murmur dumb; It is only, Till He come. 3. Clouds and conflicts round us press; Would we have one sorrow less? All the sharpness of the cross, All that tells the world is lost, Death and darkness, and the tomb, Only whisper, Till He come. 4. See, the feast of love is spread, Drink the wine, and break the bread; Sweet memorials, till the Lord Calls us round His heavenly board; Some from earth, from glory some Severed only, Till He come. Used With Tune: NASSAU Text Sources: First published in his work The Blessed Dead, 1862

Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

Author: William Henry Parker Appears in 152 hymnals First Line: Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear Lyrics: 1. Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear; Things I would ask Him to tell me if He were here; Scenes by the wayside, tales of the sea, Stories of Jesus, tell them to me. 2. First let me hear how the children stood round His knee, And I shall fancy His blessing resting on me; Words full of kindness, deeds full of grace, All in the love light of Jesus’ face. 3. Tell me, in accents of wonder, how rolled the sea, Tossing the boat in a tempest on Galilee; And how the Maker, ready and kind, Chided the billows, and hushed the wind. 4. Into the city I’d follow the children’s band, Waving a branch of the palm tree high in my hand. One of His heralds, yes, I would sing Loudest hosannas, Jesus is King! 5. Show me that scene in the garden, of bitter pain. Show me the cross where my Savior for me was slain. Sad ones or bright ones, so that they be Stories of Jesus, tell them to me.

'Twas on That Dark, That Doleful Night

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 366 hymnals Lyrics: 1. ’Twas on that dark, that doleful night When powers of earth and hell arose Against the Son of God’s delight, And friends betrayed Him to His foes: 2. Before the mournful scene began, He took the bread, and blessed, and brake: What love through all His actions ran! What wondrous words of grace He spake! 3. This is My body, broke for sin; Receive and eat the living food: Then took the cup, and blessed the wine; ’Tis the new cov’nant in My blood. 4. For us His flesh with nails was torn, He bore the scourge, He felt the thorn; And justice poured upon His head Its heavy vengeance in our stead. 5. For us His vital blood was spilt, To buy the pardon of our guilt, When, for black crimes of biggest size, He gave His soul a sacrifice. 6. Do this, He cried, till time shall end, In memory of your dying friend; Meet at My table, and record The love of your departed Lord. 7. Jesus, Thy feast we celebrate, We show Thy death, we sing Thy name, Till Thou return, and we shall eat The marriage supper of the Lamb. Used With Tune: ST. CROSS Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-9

We May Not Climb the Heavenly Steeps

Author: John G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 261 hymnals Lyrics: 1. We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For Him no depths can drown. 2. But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is He; And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee. 3. The healing of the seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch Him in life’s throng and press, And we are whole again. 4. Through Him the first fond prayers are said Our lips of childhood frame; The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with His name. 5. O Lord and Master of us all, Whate’er our name or sign, We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call, We test our lives by Thine! Used With Tune: SERENITY Text Sources: This hymn, and "Immortal Love, Forever Full," come from Whittier's poem"The Master," in The Panorama, and Other Poems, 1856

My flesh shall thy first call obey, Shake off the dust, and rise on high; Then shalt Thou lead the wondrous way Up to Thy throne above the sky. 4.

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank M. North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 364 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Where cross the crowded ways of life, Where sound the cries of race and clan Above the noise of selfish strife, We hear your voice, O Son of Man. 2. In haunts of wretchedness and need, On shadowed thresholds dark with fears, From paths where hide the lures of greed, We catch the vision of Your tears. 3. From tender childhood’s helplessness, From woman’s grief, man’s burdened toil, From famished souls, from sorrow’s stress, Your heart has never known recoil. 4. The cup of water given for You, Still holds the freshness of Your grace; Yet long these multitudes to view The sweet compassion of Your face. 5. O Master, from the mountainside Make haste to heal these hearts of pain; Among these restless throngs abide; O tread the city’s streets again. 6. Till sons of men shall learn Your love And follow where Your feet have trod, Till, glorious from Your Heaven above, Shall come the city of our God!

Then onward we march, our arms to prove, With the banner of Christ before us, With His eye of love looking down from above, And His holy arm spread o’er us, His holy arm spread o’er us.

When Thou, My Righteous Judge, Shall Come

Author: Countess of Huntingdon, 1707-1791 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 437 hymnals First Line: When Thou, my righteous judge shall come Lyrics: 1. When Thou, my righteous judge shall come To take Thy ransomed people home, Shall I among them stand? Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die, Be found at Thy right hand? 2. I love to meet Thy people now, Before Thy gracious feet to bow, Though vilest of them all: But can I bear the piercing thought? What if my name should be left out, When Thou for them shalt call? 3. O Lord, prevent it by Thy grace; Be Thou my only hiding place, In this, th’accepted day; Thy pardoning voice oh let me hear, To still my unbelieving fear, Nor let me fall, I pray. 4. Among Thy saints let me be found Whene’er th’archangel’s trump shall sound, To see Thy smiling face; Then loudest of the crowd I’ll sing, While heaven’s resounding mansions ring, With shouts of sovereign grace.

Your Mission

Author: Ellen M. H. Gates Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 118 hymnals First Line: If you cannot, on the ocean Lyrics: 1. If you cannot, on the ocean, sail among the swiftest fleet, Rocking on the highest billows, laughing at the storms you meet, You can stand among the sailors, anchored yet within the bay, You can lend a hand to help them, as they launch their boats away. 2. If you are too weak to journey up the mountain steep and high, You can stand within the valley, while the multitudes go by; You can chant in happy measure, as they slowly pass along; Though they may forget the singer, they will not forget the song. 3. If you have not gold and silver ever ready to command; If you cannot toward the needy reach an ever open hand; You can visit the afflicted, o’er the erring you can weep; You can be a true disciple, sitting at the Savior’s feet. 4. If you cannot, in the conflict prove, yourself a soldier true, If, where fire and smoke are thickest, there’s no work for you to do; When the battlefield is silent, you can go with careful tread, You can bear away the wounded, you can cover up the dead. 5. If you cannot, in the harvest, gather up the richest sheaves, Many a grain both ripe and golden oft the careless reaper leaves; Go and glean among the briars growing rank against the wall, For it may be that their shadow hides the heaviest wheat of all. 6. Do not, then, stand idly waiting, for some greater work to do; Fortune is a lazy goddess, she will never come to you. Go and toil in any vineyard, do not fear to do or dare, If you want a field of labor, you can find it anywhere. Used With Tune: BEECHER
