Wilt Thou not, my Shepherd true

Author: J. Scheffler Hymnal: LHPN1913 #403 (1913) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Wilt Thou not, my Shepherd true, Spare Thy sheep, in mercy spare me? Wilt Thou not, as shepherds do, In Thine arms rejoicing bear me; Bear me where all troubles cease, Home to folds of joy and peace? 2 With thy flock I long to be, With the flock to whom 'tis given Safe to feed, and, praising Thee, Roam the happy plains of heaven: Free from fear of sinful stain, They can never stray again. 3 Lord! I here am sore beset, Fears at every step confound me; Lo! my foes have spread their net, And with craft and might surround me; Such their snares on every side, Safe Thy sheep can ne'er abide. 4 See, on earth's wide desert way How my truant steps mislead me; Bring me back, no more to stray, In Thine own green pastures feed me. Gather me within the fold, Where Thy lambs Thy light behold.

Redeemed, restored, forgiven

Author: Sir H. W. Baker Hymnal: LHPN1913 #404 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Redeemed, restored, forgiven, Through Jesus’ precious blood, Heirs of His home in heaven, O praise our pardoning God! Praise Him in tuneful measures, Who gave His Son to die; Praise Him whose sevenfold treasures, Enrich and sanctify! 2 Once on the dreary mountain We wandered far and wide, Far from the cleansing fountain, Far from the piercéd side; But Jesus sought and found us, And washed our guilt away; With cords of love He bound us To be His own for aye. 3 Dear Master, Thine the glory Of each recovered soul; Ah! who can tell the story Of love that made us whole? Not ours, not ours the merit; Be Thine alone the praise, And ours a thankful spirit To serve Thee all our days. 4 Now keep us, Holy Savior, In Thy true love and fear; And grant us of Thy favor The grace to persevere; Till, in Thy new creation, Earth’s time-long travail o’er, We find our full salvation, And praise Thee evermore.

Behold, how good a thing

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: LHPN1913 #405 (1913) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Behold, how good a thing It is to dwell in peace; How pleasing to our King This fruit of righteousness; When brethren in the faith agree-- How joyful is such unity! 2 Where unity is found, The sweet anointing grace Extends to all around, And consecrates the place; To every waiting soul it comes, And fills it with divine perfumes. 3 Grace, every morning new, And every night we feel The soft, refreshing dew That falls on Hermon's hill! On Zion it doth sweetly fall: The grace of one descends on all. 4 E'en now our Lord doth pour The blessing from above, A kindly, gracious shower Of heart-reviving love, The former and the latter rain, The love of God and love of man. 5 In Him when brethren join, And follow after peace, The fellowship divine He promises to bless: His choicest graces to bestow, Where two or three are met below. 6 The riches of His grace In fellowship are given To Zion's chosen race, The citizens of heaven; He fills them with His choicest store, He gives them life for evermore.

How fair the Church of Christ shall stand

Author: T. Kingo Hymnal: LHPN1913 #406 (1913) Lyrics: 1 How fair the Church of Christ shall stand, A beacon-light in all the land, When love and faith all hearts inspire, And all unite in one desire To be as brothers, and agree To live in peace and unity. 2 'Tis all in vain that you profess The doctrines of the Church, unless You live according to your creed, And show your faith by word and deed. Observe the rule: To others do As you would have them do to you. 3 Resentment, hate, and cruel jest, Must not be harbored in the breast Where love and charity should dwell; Then, think and speak of others well, Refrain from all that causes strife And mars a truly Christian life. 4 So let your tongue, your heart, and mind Agree to banish every kind Of malice, falsehood and disguise, And here on earth a paradise Of peace and harmony maintain, Where concord and good-will shall reign. 5 For God observes our thoughts and deeds, The secrets of our heart He reads; The wicked can not be concealed, Their evil ways shall be revealed, He every true believer knows, And love and grace on him bestows. 6 My soul, be therefore of good cheer, Though sinners threaten, scoff, and sneer, Serenely on your way proceed, Nor worldly strife and clamor heed, For Jesus' sake the cross you bear, And soon with Him the crown shall wear. 7 O gracious God, wilt Thou my heart So fashion in each secret part, That Thou be sanctified in me, Till Thee in heaven above I see, Where holy, holy, holy, Lord, We sing to Thee with sweet accord.

Brethren, called by one vocation

Author: C.J.P. Spitta Hymnal: LHPN1913 #407 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Brethren, called by one vocation, Members of one family, Heirs through Christ of one salvation, Let us live in harmony; Nor by strife embitter life, Journeying to eternity. 2 In a land where all are strangers, And our sojourning so short, In the midst of common dangers, Concord is our best support; Heart with heart divides the smart, Lightens grief of every sort. 3 Let us shun all vain contention Touching words and outward things, Whence alas! so much dissension And such bitter rancor springs; Troubles cease, where Christ brings peace And sweet healing of His wings. 4 Judge not hastily of others, But thine own salvation ind; Nor be captious to thy brother's, To thine won offenses blind; God alone discerns thine own, And the hearts of all mankind. 5 Let it be our chief endeavor, That we may the Lord obey, Then shall envy ease forever, And all hate be done away; Free from strife shall be his life Who serves God both night and day!

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: H. F. Lyte Hymnal: LHPN1913 #408 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, and hoped, and known, Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Savior, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue; And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might, Foes may hate, and friends may shun me; Show Thy face and all is bright. 3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come disaster, scorn and pain! In Thy service, pain is pleasure; With Thy favor, loss is gain. I have called Thee Abba, Father; I have stayed my heart on Thee; Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me. 4 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me, O 'twere not in joy to charm me Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 5 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Savior died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings

Author: R. Seagrave Hymnal: LHPN1913 #409 (1913) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things, Toward heaven, thy native place. Sun, and moon, and stars decay; Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun; Both speed them to their source: So a soul that’s born of God Pants to view His glorious face; Upward tends to His abode, To rest in His embrace. 3 Cease, my soul, O cease to mourn! Press onward to the prize; Soon thy Savior will return, To take thee to the skies; There is everlasting peace, Rest, enduring rest in heaven, There will sorrow ever cease, And crowns of joy be given.

Let me be Thine forever

Author: N. Selnecker Hymnal: LHPN1913 #410 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Let me be Thine forever, My gracious God and Lord, May I forsake Thee never, Nor wander from Thy word: Preserve me from the mazes Of error and distrust, And I shall sing Thy praises Forever with the just. 2 Lord Jesus! bounteous giver Of light and life divine, Thou didst my soul deliver, To Thee I all resign; Thou hast in mercy bought me With blood and bitter pain; Let me, since Thou hast sought me, Eternal life obtain. 3 O Holy Ghost, who pourest Sweet peace into my heart, And all my soul restorest, Let not Thy grace depart. And while His name confessing Whom I in faith have known, Grant me Thy constant blessing; Make me for aye Thine own.

Well may we the saying ponder Who in sin's delusions live, And from God and heaven wander: This alone can hope revive-- Jesus sinners doth receive! 2 We deserve but grief and shame,-- Yet His words, rich grace revealing, Pardon, peace, and life proclaim; Here their ills have perfect healing Who with humble hearts believe, Jesus sinners doth receive! 3 As the shepherd seeks to find His lost sheep that from him strayeth, So hath Christ each soul in mind, And for its salvation prayeth; Fain He'd have each wanderer live: Jesus sinners doth receive. 4 Come, then, all by guilt oppressed, Jesus calls, and He would make you God's own children, pure and blest, And to glory He would take you; Think on this, and well believe Jesus sinners doth receive. 5 Savior, now I come to Thee: Great my sins, a weary burden! Wilt Thou mercy show to me? Can I hope to find a pardon? I will trust: my soul relieve! Me, a sinner, Lord, receive! 6 Rich thy mercy--strangely good! O how oft have I offended! But, through Thy redeeming blood All my fear of wrath is ended: Yes, I now can witness give: Jesus sinners doth receive! 7 Now my conscience is at peace; From the Law I stand acquitted; Christ hath purchased my release, And my every sin remitted. Naught remains my soul to grieve; Jesus sinners doth receive. 8 Jesus sinners doth receive! Happy in His ceaseless favor, Here for heaven I will live, There shall live with Him forever, Joy in death these tidings give-- "Jesus sinners doth receive!"

O Lord, how joyful 'tis to see

Author: C. Coffin Hymnal: LHPN1913 #412 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how joyful ’tis to see The brethren join in love to Thee; On Thee alone their heart relies, Their only strength Thy grace supplies. 2 How sweet within Thy holy place With one accord to sing Thy grace, Besieging Thine attentive ear With all the force of fervent prayer! 3 O may we love the house of God, Of peace and joy the blest abode; O may no angry strife destroy That sacred peace, that holy joy. 4 The world without may rage, but we Will only cling more close to Thee, With hearts to Thee more wholly given, More weaned from earth, more fixed on heaven. 5 Lord, shower upon us from above The sacred gift of mutual love; Each other’s wants may we supply, And reign together in the sky.
