Not ashamed of Christ

Appears in 69 hymnals First Line: Ashamed of Christ! our souls disdain Lyrics: 1 Ashamed of Christ! our souls disdain The mean, ungen'rous thought; Shall we disown that Friend whose blood To man salvation brought? 2 With the glad news of love and peace, From heaven to earth He came; For us endured the painful cross, For us despised the shame. 3 At His command let us submit Ourselves without delay; Our lives--yea, thousand lives of ours-- His love can ne'er replay. 4 To bear His name--His cross to bear-- Our highest honor this! Who nobly suffers for Him now, Shall reign with Him in bliss. Used With Tune: [Ashamed of Christ! our souls disdain]

Broad is the road

Appears in 463 hymnals First Line: Broad is the road that leads to death Lyrics: 1 Broad is the road that leads to death, And thousands walk together there, But wisdom shows a narrow path, With here and there a traveler. 2 "Deny thyself and take thy cross," Is the Redeemer's great command; Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain that heavenly land. 3 The fearful soul that tires and faints, And walks the ways of God no more, Is but esteemed almost a saint, And makes his own destruction sure. 4 Lord, let not all my hopes be vain, Create my heart entirely new-- Which hypocrites could ne'er attain, Which false apostates never knew. Used With Tune: WINDHAM

Used With Tune: [Fling out the banner! let it float]

The handwriting on the wall

Author: K. Shaw Appears in 68 hymnals First Line: At the feast of Belshazzar and a thousand of his lords Refrain First Line: 'Tis the hand of God on the wall Lyrics: 1 At the feast of Belshazzar and a thousand of his lords, While they drank from golden vessels, as the book of truth records; In the night as they revel in the royal palace hall, They were seized with consternation, 'twas the hand upon the wall. Chorus: 'Tis the hand of God on the wall; 'Tis the hand of God on the wall; Shall the record be, "Found wanting," or shall it be, "Found trusting?" While that hand is writing on the wall, 2 See the brave captive Daniel as he stood before the throng, And rebuked the haughty monarch for his mighty deeds of wrong; As he read out the writing--'twas the doom of one and all, For the kingdom now was finished--said the hand upon the wall. [Chorus] 3 See the faith, zeal, and courage, that would dare to do the right, Which the Spirit gave to Daniel--this the secret of his might; In his home in Judea, or a captive in the hall-- He understood the writing of his God upon the wall. [Chorus] 4 So our deeds are recorded--there's a Hand that's writing now, Sinner, give your heart to Jesus, to His royal mandate bow; For the day is approaching--it must come to one and all, When the sinner's condemnation, will be written on the wall. [Chorus] Scripture: Daniel 5:5 Used With Tune: [At the feast of Belshazzar and a thousand of his lords]

Over the river

Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: Over the river the crystal stream flows Lyrics: 1 Over the river the crystal stream flows, Over the river the tree of life grows; Over the river each lone pilgrim goes, Thro' the dim portals of death. Close by our threshold the dark angel stands, Beck'ning us on with his pale, trembling hands; Chilling our hearts with the cold icy bands, Stealing each quivering breath. Chorus: Over the river, Over the river, Over the river the streets are of gold. 2 Over the river the streets are of gold, There are enjoyments and pleasures untold; Over the river time never grows old, Bearing the burden of years. There all our sighing and sorrows shall cease, Hushed by the chorus of heavenly peace; Over the river, thrice happy release, We shall be free from our fears. [Chorus] 3 There every tear shall be wiped from our eyes, There, where the sunlight of glory ne'er dies; Lighting forever those fair upper skies, Eden's glad plains to adorn. Over the river, fair kingdom of light, There heaven's mansions forever are bright; Over the river there cometh no night, Long is eternity's morn. [Chorus] 4 Over the river, we've crossed it at last; Over the river our danger is past; Safe in the harbor our barks are moored fast Ne'er from their haven to roam. Then will we sing with the glorified throng, Loud hallelujahs in one happy song; Praising the power that has brought us along, Over the river--at home. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Over the river the crystal stream flows]
