O Jesus, I have Promised

Author: J. E. Bode Hymnal: CCHS1916 #228 (1918) Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; Be Thou forever near me, My Master and my Friend! I shall not fear the battle If Thou art by my side, Nor wander from the pathway If Thou wilt be my guide. 2 O let me feel Thee near me-- The world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear. My foes are ever near me, Around me and within; But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer, And shield my soul from sin. 3 O let me hear Thee speaking In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will. O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control: O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul. 4 O Jesus, Thou hast promised To all who follow Thee That where Thou art in glory There shall Thy servant be; And, Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, My Master and my Friend! 5 O let me see Thy footmarks, And in them plant mine own; My hope to follow duly Is in Thy strength alone. O guide me, call me, draw me, Uphold me to the end; And then in heaven receive me, My Savior and my Friend! Topics: Childhood and Youth Youth Languages: English Tune Title: MUNICH

Rescue the Perishing

Chorus: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying; Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save. 2 Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting, Waiting the penitent child to receive: Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently; He will forgive if they only believe. [Chorus] 3 Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter; Feelings lie buried that grace can restore; Touched by a loving hand, wakened by kindness, Chords that were broken will vibrate once more. [Chorus] 4 Rescue the perishing, duty demands it; Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide: Back to the narrow way patiently win them; Tell the poor wand’rer a Savior has died.

O Thou before whose Presence

Author: S. J. Stone Hymnal: CCHS1916 #231 (1918) Lyrics: 1 O Thou before whose presence Naught evil may come in, Yet who dost look in mercy Down on this world of sin; O give us noble purpose To set the sin-bound free, And Christ-like tender pity To seek the lost for Thee. 2 Fierce is our subtle foeman: The forces at his hand With woes that none can number Despoil the pleasant land; All they who war against them, In strife so keen and long, Must in their Savior's armor Be stronger than the strong. 3 So hast Thou wrought among us The great things that we see: For things that are we thank Thee, And for the things to be. For bright hope is uplifting Faint hands and feeble knees, To strive beneath Thy blessing For greater things than these. 4 Lead on, O Love and Mercy, O Purity and Power, Lead on till peace eternal Shall close this battle-hour: Till all who prayed and struggled To set their brethren free, In triumph meet to praise Thee, Most Holy Trinity.

O say, can you See

Author: F. S. Key Hymnal: CCHS1916 #235 (1918) First Line: O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light Refrain First Line: O say does that star spangled banner yet wave Lyrics: 1 O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there; O say, does the Star-spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! 2 On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the stream; 'Tis the Star-spangled Banner--O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! 3 And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! 4 O thus be it e'er when free-men shall stand Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n-rescued land Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto, "In God is our trust;" And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

In Days of Yore, from Britain's Shore

Hymnal: CCHS1916 #237 (1918) Refrain First Line: The maple leaf, our emblem dear Lyrics: 1 In days of yore, from Britain’s shore, Wolfe the dauntless hero came, And planted firm Britannia’s flag, On Canada’s fair domain. Here may it wave, our boast, our pride, And joined in love together! The Thistle, Shamrock, Rose, entwine, The Maple Leaf for ever! Chorus: The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear, The Maple Leaf forever! God save the King, and Heaven bless The Maple Leaf for ever! 2 At Queenstown Heights and Lundy’s Lane, Our brave fathers, side by side, For freedom, homes, and loved ones dear, Firmly stood and nobly died; And those dear rights which they maintained, We swear to yield them never! Our watchword ever more shall be, The Maple Leaf for ever! [Chorus] 3 Our fair Dominion now extends From Cape Race to Nootka Sound; May peace for ever be our lot, And plenteous store abound; And may those ties of love be ours Which discord cannot sever, And flourish green o’er Freedom’s home, The Maple Leaf for ever! [Chorus] 4 On merry England’s far-famed land May kind Heaven sweetly smile; God bless old Scotland ever more, And Ireland’s Em'rald Isle! Then swell the song, both loud and long, Till rocks and forest quiver, God save our King and Heaven bless The Maple Leaf for ever!
