I Think, When I Read that Sweet Story

Author: Mrs. Jemima Luke Meter: 11.8.12.9 Appears in 864 hymnals First Line: I think, when I read that sweet story of old Lyrics: 1 I think, when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How He called little children as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2 I wish that His hand had been placed on my head, That His arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto Me." 3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love; And if I thus earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above. 4 In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare For all who are washed and forgiven; Full many dear children are gathering there, "For of such is the kingdom of heaven." 5 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall, Never heard of that heavenly home; I wish they could know there is room for them all, And that Jesus has bid them to come. 6 And oh, how I long for that glorious time, The sweetest and brightest and best, When the dear little children of every clime, Shall crowd to His arms and be blest! Amen. Topics: Eternity Used With Tune: I THINK, WHEN I READ THAT SWEET STORY.

Hosanna! Great Teacher we raise Our hearts and or voices in hymning Thy praise For precept and promise so graciously given, For blessings of earth, and for glories of heaven. Amen.

The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated. The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before: Prepare, my soul, to meet Him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At that last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet Him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding; No gloomy fears their souls dismay; His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet Him. 3 But sinners filled with guilty fears, Behold His wrath prevailing, For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing. The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet Him. 4 O Christ, who diedst and yet dost live, To me impart Thy merit; My pardon seal, my sins forgive, And cleanse me by Thy Spirit. Beneath Thy cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet Thee. Topics: Judgment Used With Tune: ES IST GEWISSLICH AN DER ZEIT

Onward, Christian Soldiers

Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Appears in 1,840 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. Christ, the royal Master, Leads against the foe; Forward into battle, See His banners go. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. 2 At the sign of triumph Satan’s armies flee; On, then, Christian soldiers, On to victory. Hell’s foundations quiver, At the shout of praise; Brothers, lift your voices, Loud your anthems raise. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 3 Like a mighty army, Moves the church of God; Brothers, we are treading Where the saints have trod. We are not divided, All one body we, One in hope, in doctrine, One in charity. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 4 Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane, But the church of Jesus Constant will remain. Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that church prevail; We have Christ’s own promise, And that cannot fail. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 5 Onward then, ye faithful, Join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices, In the triumph-song. Glory, laud, and honor, Unto Christ the King: This through countless ages, Men and angels sing. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. Amen.
