Glory to God, Whose Witness-Train

Author: Nicholas L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760 Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glory to God, Whose witness-train, Those heroes bold in faith, Could smile on poverty and pain And triumph e’en in death. 2 Scorned and reviled as was their Head, When walking here below, Thus in this evil world they led A life of pain and woe. 3 God, Whom we serve, our God can save, Can damp the scorching flame, Can build an ark, or smooth a wave For such as fear His Name. 4 If but His arm support us still, Is but His joy our strength, We shall ascend the rugged hill And conquerors prove at length.

How Great the Bliss to Be a Sheep of Jesus

Author: Christian Ignatius La Trobe, 1758-1836; Johann Jakob Rambach, 1693-1735 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How great the bliss to be a sheep of Jesus, And to be guided by His shepherd-staff! Earth’s greatest honors, howsoe’er they please us, Compared to this are vain and empty chaff. Yea, what this world can never give, May, through the Shepherd’s grace, each needy sheep receive. 2 Here is a pasture, rich and never failing, Here living waters in abundance flow; None can conceive the grace with tem prevailing, Who Jesus’ shepherd voice obey and know; He banishes all fear and strife, And leads them gently on to everlasting life. 3 Whoe’er would spend his days in lasting pleasure Must come to Christ and join His flock with speed; Here is a feast prepared, rich beyond measure, The world meanwhile on empty husks must feed. Those souls may share in every good Whose Shepherd doth possess the treasuries of God. Topics: The Life in Christ Joy and Peace in Believing Used With Tune: AGNUS CHRISTI
