Wake, awake, for Night is Flying

Author: Philip Nicolai; W. Cook Hymnal: CCHS1916 #178 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Wake, awake, for night is flying: The watchmen on the heights are crying, Awake, Jerusalem, arise! Midnight's solemn hour is tolling, His chariot wheels are nearer rolling; He comes; prepare, ye virgins wise. Rise up; with willing feet Go forth, the Bridegroom meet; Hallelujah! Bear thro' the night your well-trimmed light, Speed forth to join the marriage rite. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, Her heart with deep delight is springing, At once she wakes, she hastes away: Forth her Bridegroom hastens glorious, In grace arrayed, by truth victorious; Her grief is joy, her night is day: All hail, incarnate Lord, Our crown, and our reward! Hallelujah! We haste along, in pomp of song, And gladsome join the marriage throne. 3 Hear Thy praise, O Lord, ascending From tongues of men and angels, blending With harp and lute and psaltery. By Thy pearly gates in wonder We stand, and swell the voice of thunder, In bursts of choral melody: No vision ever brought, No ear hath ever caught, Such bliss and joy: We raise the song, we swell the throng, To praise Thee ages all along.

I know of a Sleep in Jesus' Name

Author: M. B. Landstad; Smeby; Doving; Kasberg Hymnal: CCHS1916 #179 (1918) Lyrics: 1 I know of a sleep in Jesus' name, A rest from all toil and sorrow; Earth folds in her arms my weary frame, And shelters it till the morrow; My soul is at home with God in heaven, Her sorrows are past and over. 2 I know of a peaceful eventide; And when I am faint and weary, At times with the journey sorely tried, Through hours that are long and dreary; Then often I yearn to lay me down, And sink into blissful slumber. 3 I know of a morning bright and fair, When tidings of joy shall wake us, When songs from on high shall fill the air, And God to His glory take us, When Jesus shall bid us rise from sleep-- How joyous that hour of awaking! 4 Now opens the Father's house above, The names of the blest are given: Lord, gather us there; let none we love Be missed in the joys of heaven. Vouchsafe Thou us all a place with Thee; We ask through our dear Redeemer. 5 O Jesus, draw near my dying bed, And take me into Thy keeping, And say when my spirit hence is fled: This child is not dead, but sleeping." And leave me not, Savior, till I rise, To praise Thee in life eternal. Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Hope; Evening Languages: English Tune Title: DEN SIGNEDE DAG

Forever with the Lord

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: CCHS1916 #180 (1918) First Line: Forever with the Lord! Refrain First Line: Nearer home, nearer home Lyrics: 1 Forever with the Lord! Amen! so let it be; Life from the dead is in that word, 'Tis immortality. Here in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. Chorus: Nearer home, nearer home, A day's march nearer home. 2 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul! how near At times to faith's fore-seeing eye The golden gates appear! Ah, then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! [Chorus] 3 Forever with the Lord! Father, it is Thy will, The promise of that faithful word E'en here to me fulfill. Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!"

Behold the Host

Author: C. Doving; H. A. Brorson Hymnal: CCHS1916 #181 (1918) First Line: Behold the host arrayed in white Lyrics: 1 Behold the host arrayed in white, Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright, With palms they stand-- Who are this band Before the throng of light? These are the ransomed throng, the same That from the tribulation came And in the flood Of Jesus' blood Are cleansed from guilt and shame, And now arrayed in robes made white They God are serving day and night, And anthems swell Where God doth dwell 'Mid angels in the height. 2 On earth despised, beneath the rod, They thro' the fire of trials trod, Now, clothed in white, They dwell in light, Are kings and priests to God; How often in the evil day They here below did weep and pray, But conflicts past, Brought home at last, God wiped their tears away; Hunger and thirst no more they know, No scorching sun doth work them woe, The Lamb them feeds, Himself them leads Where living fountains flow. 3 O happy saints! forever blest! Hail, ye who have attained your rest! Faithful to death Ye kept the faith Though ye were sore opprest; The world ye did renounce of yore, The precious seed ye weeping bore, Now reap the joy Without alloy In bliss forevermore; Lift up your voice, wave palms again, And swell the everlasting song: All glory be O God to Thee, And to the Lamb belong.

Work, for the Night is Coming

Author: Anna L. Coghill Hymnal: CCHS1916 #183 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming; Work thro' the morning hours; Work while the dew is sparkling; Work 'mid springing flowers; Work while the day grows brighter, Under the glowing sun; Work, for the night is coming, When man's work is done. 2 Work, for the night is coming, Work thro' the sunny noon; Fill brightest hours with labor, Rest comes sure and soon: Give ev'ry flying minute Something to keep in store; Work, for the night is coming, When man works no more. 3 Work for the night is coming, Under the sunset skies, While their bright tints are glowing, Work, for daylight flies; Work, till the last beam fadeth, Fadeth to shine no more; Work, while the night is dark'ning, When man's work is o'er.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus

Author: George Duffield Hymnal: CCHS1916 #184 (1918) Refrain First Line: Stand up, ye soldiers Lyrics: 1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high His royal banner, It must not suffer loss: From vict'ry unto vict'ry His army He shall lead, Till ev'ry foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict In this His glorious day: Ye that are men now serve Him Against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose. 3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Stand in His strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you, Ye dare not trust your own: Put on the gospel armor, Each piece put on with prayer; Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there. 4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The strife will not be long; This day the din of battle, The next the victor's song: To him that overcometh A crown of life shall be; He with the King of Glory Shall reign eternally.

Master, no Offering

Author: Edwin P. Parker Hymnal: CCHS1916 #185 (1918) First Line: Master, no offering Costly and sweet Lyrics: 1 Master, no offering Costly and sweet, May we, like Magdalene, Lay at Thy feet; Yet may love's incense rise, Sweeter than sacrifice, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. 2 Daily our lives would show Weakness made strong. Toilsome and gloomy ways Brightened with song; Some deeds of kindness done, Some souls by patience won, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. 3 Some word of hope, for hearts Burdened with fears, Some balm of peace, for eyes Blinded with tears; Some dews of mercy shed, Some wayward footsteps led, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. 4 Thus, in Thy service, Lord Till even-tide Closes the day of life, May we abide. And when earth's labors cease, Bid us depart in peace, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. Topics: Work and Missions Work; Missions Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE'S OFFERING

Chorus: I love to tell the story, 'Twill be my theme in glory To tell the old, old story Of Jesus and His love. 2 I love to tell the story; More wonderful it seems Than all the golden fancies Of all our golden dreams. I love to tell the story, It did so much for me; And that is just the reason I tell it now to thee. [Chorus] 3 I love to tell the story; 'Tis pleasant to repeat What seems, each time I tell it, More wonderfully sweet. I love to tell the story, For some have never heard The message of salvation From God's own Holy Word. [Chorus] 4 I love to tell the story; For those who know it best Seem hungering and thirsting To hear it, like the rest. And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song, 'Twill be the old, old story, That I have loved so long.
