Nearer, my God, to thee

Author: Sarah Fuller Adams (1805-48) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #617 (1986) Person Name: Sarah Fuller Adams (1805-48) Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! E’en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 2 Though like a wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yei in my dreams I’d be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 3 There let my way appear Steps unto Heaven; All that thou sendest me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 4 Then with my waking thoughts Bright with thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I’ll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 5 Or if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon and stars forgot, Upward I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee.

Once, in royal David’s city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-95) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #87 (1986) Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-95) Lyrics: 1 Once, in royal David’s city, Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for his bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from Heaven Who is God and Lord of all, And his shelter was a stable And his cradle was a stall; With the poor and mean and lowly Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And through all his wondrous childhood He would honour and obey, Love and watch the lowly mother In whose gentle arms he lay. Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as he. 4 For he is our childhood’s pattern; Day by day like us he grew; He was little, weak and helpless; Tears and smiles like us he knew; And he feeleth for our sadness, And he shareth in our gladness. 5 And our eyes at last shall see him, Through his own redeeming love; For that child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in Heaven above. And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Birth Languages: English

There is a green hill far away

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-95) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #133 (1986) Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-95) Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified Who died to save us all. 2 We may not know, we cannot tell What pains he had to bear; But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 3 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to Heaven, Saved by his precious blood. 4 There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate Of Heaven, and let us in. 5 O dearly, dearly, has he loved And we must love him too, And trust in his redeeming blood, And try his works to do.

Author: Henry Alford (1810-71) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #167 (1986) Person Name: Henry Alford (1810-71) Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand, In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light; ‘Tis finished! all is finished, Their fight with death and sin; Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2 What rush of hallelujahs Fills all the earth and sky; What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes A thousand fold repaid! 3 Bring near thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fulfil thy love’s redemptive plan, Then take thy power and reign; Appear, desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heavens thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Saviour, come.

Forward! be our watchword

Author: Henry Alford (1810-71) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #682 (1986) Person Name: Henry Alford (1810-71) Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watchword, Steps and voices joined; Seek the things before us, Not a look behind. Burns the fiery pillar At our army’s head; Who shall dream of shrinking, By our captain led? Forward through the desert, Through the toil and fight; Jordan flows before us, Zion beams with light. 2 Forward, flock of Jesus, Salt of all the earth, Till each yearning purpose Springs to glorious birth. Sick, they ask for healing, Blind, they grope for day; Pour upon the nations Wisdom’s loving ray. Forward, out of error, Leave behind the night; Forward through the darkness, Forward into light. 3 Glories upon glories Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love him One day to be shared. Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard, Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech a word. Forward, ever forward, Where the heaven is bright; Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight. Topics: The salvation soldier Calling Languages: English
