Servant Of All

Author: Charles A. Finch Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Who would be greatest among you Lyrics: 1 Who would be greatest among you, Let him be servant of all; This is the Savior’s commandment, This is the Spirit’s sweet call. Unto the true and the faithful, Soundeth this clarion call: Who would be greatest among you, Let him be servant of all. 2 Who would be greatest among you, Let him be servant of all; Drink of the cup of My sorrow, Taste of earth’s wormwood and gall. Deep are Gethsemane’s shadows, Yonder the cross, grim and tall: Who would be greatest among you, Let him be servant of all. 3 Who would be greatest among you, What shall the profit then be, Gaining the world, if thou losest Life thro’ eternity? Voices of pleasure and calling Unto the banqueting hall, Who would be greatest among you, Let him be servant of all. 4 Who would be greatest among you, Mother of Zebedee’s sons, Seats of the kingdom are given Him who in lowliness comes. Thrones on My right and My left hand Only to heroes shall fall: Those who obey My commandments, These are the greatest of all. Used With Tune: EZANA Text Sources: Carmina Sacra by William E. M.

Willing Hearts and Ready Hands

Author: Daniel D. Buck Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: If we can not plant our cottage Lyrics: 1 If we can not plant our cottage ’Mid an Eden’s blooming bowers, Whiling life’s delightful summer Gaily ’mid unfading flowers, We with holy love can labor, Tilling Zion’s fertile land, We can consecrate to duty Willing hearts and ready hands, 2 If we can not win a title To enwreathe our humble name; If we boast not birth or beauty, Wealth nor wisdom, might nor fame, We can still be kindly hearted, Acting well our lowly part; And, tho’ men may be ungrateful, God will prize the humble heart. 3 If we cannot read the future, Whether weal or woe betide, If within the veil of darkness Mercy from our vision hide— We can understand our mission, What is here to do or bear; We can love and help each other, And the cross with Jesus share. 4 Let us, then, be ever doing, Day declineth, night is near; Short the time of toil and suffering, Jesus numbers every tear. See! the pearly gates are opening, Lo! the splendor from above; List to loved ones yonder singing, Welcome to the land of love.

Who Is This That Comes From Edom?

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who is this that comes from Edom? Clad in robes with carnage stained; Bringing victory and freedom By His martial prowess gained? ’Tis the Captain of salvation Who is conquering in the fight, Rescuing a lost creation By His unassisted might. 2 Lord, the course Thou art pursuing Is a course of glorious gain; But the work which Thou art doing Is a work of bitter pain; In a Passion-tide beginning, It will lead to bright renown; By it Thou a way art winning To an everlasting crown. 3 Through Thy cloud of shame and sorrow Bright gleams of light appear; Whence we hope and comfort borrow In our griefs and struggles here; Thou dost conquer death by dying; By Thy death we ever live; And to us in darkness lying Thou dost endless glory give. 4 Cruel hands of sinners bound Thee, Thou a sinful world hast freed; They with thorns in mockery crowned Thee, Placing in Thy hand a reed; Now a starry crown Thou wearest, Heav’nly King, almighty Lord; Scepter of the world Thou bearest, And by angels art adored. 5 Glory be to God the Father, Who has giv’n His only Son; And in Christ did all men gather To Himself, and make them one; And to Him, who by His merit Gained for us the victory, And to God the Holy Spirit, Glory, endless glory, be.

Ho är då, som vill förklaga Den han själf utkorat har? Ho vill ifrån honom draga Den han har i sitt försvar? 3 Jag är viss och därpå liter, Hvarken lif ej heller död Mig ifrån min Jesus sliter: Änglar, höghet eller nöd, Djuphet eller annat mera, Vare kommand' eller när, Skall mig från Guds kärlek föra, Som i Jesu Kristo är.
