We Won't Give Up The Bible

Author: William M. Whittemore Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 82 hymnals First Line: We won’t give up the Bible Lyrics: 1 We won’t give up the Bible— God’s holy book of truth; The blessèd staff of hoary age, The guide of early youth; The lamp that sheds a glorious light O’er every dreary road; The voice that speaks a Savior’s love, And calls us back to God. 2 We won’t give up the Bible, For pleasure or for pain; We’ll buy the truth, and sell it not For all that we might gain; Though man should try to take our prize, By guile or cruel might, We’ll suffer all that men can do, And God defend the right! 3 We won’t give up the Bible, But spread it far and wide, Until its saving voice be heard Beyond the rolling tide— Till all shall feel its precious power: While we, with voice and heart, Resolve that from God’s sacred Word We’ll never, never part!

Spirit of Christ, the living Lord, Reign in this house of clay, Till from its dust with Christ I rise To everlasting day.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 528 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land; A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way, From the burning of the noontide heat, And the burden of the day. 2 Upon that cross of Jesus Mine eyes at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my smitten heart with tears These wonders I confess, - The wonders of His glorious love, And my own worthlessness. 3 I take, O cross, thy shadow For my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of His face; Content to let the world go by, To know no gain nor loss, My sinful self my only shame, My glory all the cross.

Before Your Cross, O Jesus

Author: Ferdinand Q. Blanchard Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before your cross, O Jesus, our lives are judged today; the meaning of our eager strife is tested by your way. Across our restless living the light streams from your cross, and by its clear, revealing beams we measure gain and loss. 2 The hopes that lead us onward, the fears that hold us back, our will to dare great things for God, the courage that we lack, The faith we keep in goodness, our love, as low or pure, on all, the judgment of the cross falls steady, clear, and sure. 3 Yet humbly, in our striving, we rise to face its test. We crave the power to do your will as once you did it best. On us let now the healing of your great Spirit fall, and make us brave and full of joy to answer to your call.

Desire of Every Nation

Author: Anna B. Hoppe Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Desire of every nation, Light of the Gentiles, Thou! In fervent adoration Before Thy throne we bow; Our hearts and tongues adore Thee, Blest Dayspring from the skies. Like incense sweet before Thee, Permit our songs to rise. 2. Thou Herald of the morning, They who in darkness dwell Behold Thy brightness dawning O’er realms of Israel. With glorious beams unclouded, Thy all-transcendent light Dispels the gloom that shrouded Earth’s dark and dismal night. 3. Arise and shine in splendor, Thou bright and morning Star! The Gentiles come to render Their gifts from realms afar. The word by prophets spoken In truth is now fulfilled. And yearning hearts, once broken, With sweetest hope are filled. 4. Arise and bring salvation To all who dwell below, Let earth in jubilation Reflect Thy radiant glow. O long expected Savior, Thou Hope of Israel, Let Gentiles gain Thy favor, And of Thy glory tell. 5. Our Life and Resurrection, Lord Jesus Christ, Thou art; O shed Thy light’s reflection To earth’s remotest part; Let Gentile tongues confess Thee, Rejoicing in Thy light, The ransomed thousands bless Thee, Thou hast dispelled the night.

A Man Named Nicodemus

Author: Susan H. Peterson Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: A man named Nicodemus to Jesus came one night Lyrics: 1. A man named Nicodemus to Jesus came one night. He said, We know You’ve come from God; Your wonders show His might. In answer, Jesus did declare, Give heed, these words are true: You cannot see God’s kingdom come unless you’re born anew. 2. Then Nicodemus questioned, Reborn, how can this be? For surely none can to the womb return and new life see. Jesus replied, Flesh brings forth flesh, but like the blowing wind, The Spirit does give birth to spirit; thus man is born again. 3. As Moses in the desert did lift the snake up high, The Son of Man must be raised up that men might live, not die. For God so loved this world of men, he gave his Son for us, That we might have eternal life, if we in Him do trust. 4. God did not send His Son to condemn the world of sin. Christ came instead to save all those who place their trust in Him. All who believe escape God’s wrath; they come into the light. But all who practice evil deeds are guilty in God’s sight. 5. Without the Son, all perish; the verdict is decreed. All those who fail to trust Christ’s name condemned will ever be. Lord, give me boldness to proclaim Your message to the lost, That they might gain eternal life by looking to the cross. Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Tek Kryqi I Jezusit

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane; Jan Foss, 1954- Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Tek kryqi i Jezusit E zgjodha vendin tim, Nën hijen e një të madhit shkëmb Që mbron nga çdo mjerim; Porsi strehim në shkretëtirë, Ku unë mund të pushoj; Në pisk të vapës Zoti im Më bëri një mburojë. 2 O strehë aq e shtrenjtë, Shpeshherë e provuar! O vend ku dashuria Me të drejtën u takua. Ashtu si e pa Jakovi Në ëndërr në Bethel, Për mua ësht’ kryqi yt porsi Një shkallë që çon në qiell. 3 Përtej, në anën tjetër Të kryqit ësht’ një gropë E gjerë dhe e thellë, Një humnerë me terr të plotë. Por kryqi me dy krah të zgjatur, Si rojtar qëndron; E nga varri i përjetëshëm Të na shpëtojë kërkon. 4 Mbi kryqin e Jezusit Unë ndonjëherë shikoj Me sy të zemrës at’ njeri Që aq për mua pësoi. Nga zemra e zhuritur E pranoj unë, duke qarë, Dashurinë e tij t’shpërblyeshme Për mua, një mëkatar. 5 Në fresk të hijes së kryqit, Sa dua, o Zot, të rri. S’më duhet asnjë tjetër dritë, Veç kjo që vjen nga ti. Shkëlqimin e k’saj bote unë S’e mbaj më si fitim; Mëkati im për mua ësht’ turp, Në kryq ësht’ lavdi im! Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER
