I Think when I Read

Author: Jemima Luke Appears in 854 hymnals Topics: Childhood and Youth Childhood First Line: I think when I read that sweet story of old Lyrics: 1 I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How He called little children as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2 I wish that His hands had been placed on my head, That His arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto Me." 3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love; And if I thus earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above. 4 In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare For all who are washed and forgiven; And many dear children shall be with Him there, For of such is the kingdom of heaven. 5 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall, Never heard of that heavenly home; I wish they could know there is room for them all, And that Jesus has bid them to come.

All pain before Thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er Thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Or hear, or feel, or think, but Thee. 4 Still let Thy love point out my way; How wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my work, inspire my thought: And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 5 In suff'ring, be Thy love my peace; In weakness, be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that important hour, In death, as life, be Thou my Guide, And save me, who for me hast died.

The Son of God goes Forth

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 837 hymnals Topics: Childhood and Youth Youth First Line: The Son of God goes forth to war Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain: His blood-red banner streams afar, Who follows in His train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in His train. 2 That martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave; Who saw his Master in the sky; And called on Him to save; Like Him, with pardon on His tongue; In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in His train? 3 A noble band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew And mocked the torch of flame; They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane, They bowed their necks the stroke to feel: Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS

Hosanna! Great Teacher, we raise Our hearts and our voices in hymning Thy praise; For precept and promise so graciously given, For blessings of earth, and for glories of heaven, For blessings of earth, and for glories of heaven.

When His Salvation Bringing

Author: John King Appears in 421 hymnals Topics: Childhood and Youth Childhood First Line: When, His salvation bringing Lyrics: 1 When, His salvation bringing, To Zion Jesus came, The children all stood singing, Hosannas to His name; Nor did their zeal offend Him, But, as He rode along, He let them still attend Him, And smiled to hear their song. 2 And since the Lord retaineth His love for children still, Tho' now as King He reigneth On Zion's heav'nly hill, We'll flock around His banner, Who sits upon His throne, And cry aloud, "Hosanna To David's royal Son." 3 For should we fail proclaiming Our great Redeemer's praise, The stones, our silence shaming, Would their Hosannas raise. But shall we only render The tribute of our words? No; while our hearts are tender, They too shall be the Lord's. Used With Tune: TOURS
