Who'll Stand Up For Jesus?

Hartsough Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 47 hymnals First Line: O who’ll stand up for Jesus Refrain First Line: The cross for Christ I’ll cherish Lyrics: 1 O who’ll stand up for Jesus, The lowly Nazarene? And raise the blood stained banner Amid the hosts of sin? Refrain: The cross for Christ I’ll cherish, Its crucifixion bear; All hail! reproach or sorrow, If Jesus leads me there. 2 O, who will follow Jesus, Amid reproach and shame? Where others shrink or falter, Who’ll glory in His name? [Refrain] 3 Though fierce may rage the battle, And wild the storm may blow, Though friends may go forever, Who will with Jesus go? [Refrain] 4 Though foes shall madly gather, And devils rage and roar, Who’ll choose the fiery furnace, With Jesus evermore? [Refrain] 5 My all to Christ I’ve given, My talents, time, and voice, Myself, my reputation, The lone way is my choice. [Refrain] 6 O Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, My all sufficient friend! Come, fold me to Thy bosom, E’en to the journey’s end. [Refrain] Used With Tune: MIJATOVIĆ Text Sources: The Revivalist, (New York : Joseph Hillman, 1868)

Grander Than Ocean's Story

Author: William F. Sherwin, 1826-1888 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Grander than ocean’s story, Or songs of forest trees; Purer than breath of morning, Or evening’s gentle breeze; Clearer than mountain echoes Ring out from peaks above, Rolls on the glorious anthem Of God’s eternal love. 2. Dearer than any friendship Our truest comrades show; Stronger than all the yearning A mother’s heart may know; Deeper than earth’s foundations, And far above all thought; Broader than Heav’n’s high arches— The love that Christ has brought. 3. Richer than all earth’s treasures, The wealth my soul receives; Brighter than royal jewels, The crown that Jesus gives; Wondrous the condescension, And grace beyond degree! I would be ever singing The love of Christ to me. Used With Tune: GOD'S LOVE

I Want To Be An Angel

Author: R. F. Fuller Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I want to be an angel, Before I mount above, An angel in my spirit And influence of love. Beneath my every footstep I want the flowers to spring, In deeds of loving kindness, And good for everything. 2 I want to span my forehead A bow of promise bright, That every cloud of sorrow May kindle into light. Above the earth, but in it, I want my ways to wend, To keep myself unspotted, And help to others lend. 3 I want to love like angels, And be beloved again, And bring the boons of Heaven To bless my fellow men. God’s love, in all my measure, To give again I want. A heartful, heavenly Father, For my religion grant. Used With Tune: OLSZTYN Text Sources: The Prize by George F. Root (Chicago: Root & Cady, 1870)

Dying Souls, Fast Bound in Sin

Author: Thomas Hastings Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Dying souls, fast bound in sin, Trembling and repining, With no ray of light divine On your pathway shining; Why in darkness wander on, Filled with consternation? Jesus lives—in Him alone Can you find salvation. 2. Worthless all your righteousness; You the law have broken; Flee, then, to His sovereign grace, Mercy thus has spoken; Why, in deeds that you have done, Seek for consolation? Jesus lives—in Him alone Can you find salvation. 3. Prostrate bow, confess your guilt, Own your lost condition! Yield to Him whose blood was spilt, Unreserved submission: Then no more in anguish groan; Seek His mediation; Jesus lives—in Him alone Can you find salvation. 4. Linger not on all the plain: Vengeance is pursuing; Midst the dying and the slain, Save your souls from ruin: Flee to Him who can atone; Flee from condemnation; Jesus lives—in Him alone Can you find salvation.

Soon As The Morn With Roses

Author: Thomas Haweis Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Soon as the morn with roses Bedecks the dewy east, And when the sun reposes Upon the ocean's breast; Our voice in supplication, Jehovah, Thou shalt hear; Grant us, through Christ, salvation, And be Thou ever near. 2 By Thee, thro' life supported, We pass the dang'rous road, By heav'nly hosts escorted Up to their bright abode; There cast our crowns before Thee, Our toils and conflicts o'er, And day and night adore Thee For ever evermore. Amen. Topics: Morning; Processionals and Recessionals Morning Used With Tune: EVARTS

The Three Mountains

Author: Philip P. Bliss Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Between me and my Savior Lyrics: 1 Between me and my Savior Three mighty mountains rose, That all my way and ever My coming did oppose; And darkness gathered round me, The light was growing dim, Until my Savior found me, And now I rest in Him. 2 I waited for a feeling, Some new mysterious power, A heavenly light revealing My heart as ne’er before; The mountain dark and gloomy Concealed a loving Lord, Until His voice came to me— "My child, believe My Word." 3 I waited for a fitness, To pray would be a sin! My past life bore the witness How vile my heart had been: This mountain crushed my spirit, Till God deliverance gave— '’Twas sinners without merit That Jesus came to save." 4 And then my fear of failing Of hopes indulged in vain, Of efforts unavailing Eternal life to gain: This mountain rose before me, I called for help divine; Said Jesus, "Dost thou love Me? Then rest thy life in Mine." Used With Tune: KENSAL GREEN Text Sources: Gospel Songs: a choice collection of hymns and tunes, Cincinnati: John Church & Company)
