Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult

Author: Mrs. Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-1895 Appears in 956 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea, Day by day His sweet voice soundeth, Saying, "Christian, follow Me." 2 As of old Apostles heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home, and toil, and kindred, Leaving all for His dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store, From each idol that would keep us, Saying, "Christian, love Me more!" 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still He calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love Me more than these!" 5 Jesus calls us: by Thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear Thy call, Give our hearts to Thy obedience, Service and love Thee best of all.

Ten thousand times ten thousand

Author: Dean Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Appears in 439 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand, In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light; Tis finished, all is finished, Their fight with death and sin; Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2 What rush of hallelujahs Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day for which creation And all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore, What knitting severed friendships up Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power and reign; Appear, Desire of nations Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heaven Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Saviour, come.

Dark, dark hath been the midnight But dayspring is at hand, And glory glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 2 O Christ! He is the fountain, The deep sweet well of love! The streams on earth I've tasted, More deep I'll drink above: There to an ocean fulness His mercy doth expand, And glory glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 3 With mercy and with judgment My web of time He wove, And aye the dews of sorrow Were lustred by His love; I'll bless the hand that guided, I'll bless the heart that planned, When throned where glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 4 I've wrestled on towards heaven, 'Gainst storm and wind and tide; Now, like a weary traveller That leaneth on his guide, Amid the shades of evening, While sinks life's lingering sand, I hail the glory dawning In Immanuel's land.

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Bp. R. Heber, 1783-1826 Appears in 846 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in His train? Who best can drink His cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears His cross below, He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on Him to save. Like Him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong; Who follows in his train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane, They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain; O God! to us may grace be given To follow in their train!
