The Old Rugged Cross
Author: George Bennard, 1873-1960 Meter: 12.8.12.8 with refrain Appears in 368 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:14 First Line: On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross Refrain First Line: So I'll cherish the cross, the old rugged cross Lyrics: 1 On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff'ring and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain:
So I'll cherish the cross, the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the cross, the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
2 O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary. [Refrain]
3 In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me. [Refrain]
4 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
It's shame and reproach gladly bear.
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share. [Refrain] Topics: Jesus Christ His Atonement, Crucifixion and Death; Jesus Christ His Blood; Jesus Christ His Cross; Jesus Christ His Glory and Power; Jesus Christ Shepherd and Lamb Used With Tune: OLD RUGGED CROSS

Forth in Your Name
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 349 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:10 First Line: Forth in your name, O Lord, I go Lyrics: 1 Forth in your name, O Lord, I go
my daily labor to pursue;
you, Lord, alone I choose to know
in all I think or speak or do.
2 The task your wisdom has assigned
here let me cheerfully fulfill;
in all my work your presence find
and prove your good and perfect will.
3 You I would set at my right hand
whose eyes my inmost secrets view;
and labor on at your command
and offer all my work to you.
4 Help me to bear your easy yoke
and every moment watch and pray;
and still to things eternal look
and hasten to that glorious day.
5 Gladly for you may I employ
all that your generous grace has given;
and run my earthly course with joy,
and closely walk with you to heaven.

Forth in Your Name
Here, O My Lord, I See You
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 322 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:9 First Line: Here, O my Lord, I see you face to face Lyrics: 1 Here, O our Lord, I see you face to face,
here faith can touch and handle things unseen;
I will grasp with firmer hand your grace,
and all my weariness upon you lean.
2 Here I will feed upon the bread of God,
here drink with you the royal wine of heaven;
here I will lay aside each earthly load,
here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.
3 Mine is the sin, but yours the righteousness;
mine is the guilt, but yours the cleansing blood:
here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace;
your blood, your righteousness, O Lord, my God.
4 Too soon we rise, the symbols disappear;
the feast, though not the love, is past and done:
gone are the bread and wine, but you are here,
nearer than ever, still my shield and sun.
5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by,
yet, passing, points to that glad feast above;
giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
the Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.

Looking at the Crucified;
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Looking at the Crucified.

Jesus, glorious King of kings,
Deigns to call me His beloved,
Lets me rest beneath His wings.

Resting now beneath His wings;
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Resting now beneath His wings.

To the soldiers of the King;
As an ensign fair we lift it up today,
While as ransomed ones we sing.
Chorus:
Marching on, marching on,
For Christ count everything but loss!
And to crown Him King, we’ll toil and sing,
’Neath the banner of the cross!
2 Though the foe may rage and gather as the flood,
Let the standard be displayed;
And beneath its folds, as soldiers of the Lord,
For the truth be not dismayed! (Chorus)
3 Over land and sea, wherever man may dwell,
Make the glorious tidings known;
Of the crimson banner now the story tell,
While the Lord shall claim His own! (Chorus)
4 When the glory dawns-—’tis drawing very near--
It is hastening day by day;
Then before our King the foe shall disappear,
And the cross the world shall sway! (Chorus) Topics: Church Militant and Triumphant; Cross of Christ; Warfare, Christian; Church Militant and Triumphant; Cross of Christ; Warfare, Christian Used With Tune: [There's a royal banner given for display]
