Come, O Sinner, All Is Ready

Author: E. W. Olson; C. Dahl Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: "Come, O sinner, all is ready!" Lyrics: 1 "Come, O sinner, all is ready!" Hear the loving Saviour plead, From death's dungeon He would free thee, On the living pathway lead. Know the Father's will to save: Yet a day of grace He gave; Hearken to the voice that calls thee, Ere His righteous doom befalls thee. 2 If thou to the Lord's entreaties Close thine ears and lock thy heart, If thou spurn the hand that beckons Thee from evil ways apart, Soon that gentle voice may cease: Know the things unto thy peace, Ere the door shall close forever, thee from heav'nly bliss to sever. 3 But if thou in deep contrition Ownest to thy helplessness, Trusting solely in His merit Who achieved thy righteousness, Hearken, then, unto His call. At His table humbly fall, There receive the food fro heaven For thy faith's sustention given. 4 Lord and Saviour, keep and guide me By Thy gospel light, I pray, That the world by her seductions Draw me not from Thee away. In Thy body and Thy blood Give me now that precious food Which Thy witness here shall make me, Till to thine abode Thou take me. Amen,

O glorious hour! When by His own almighty power Our Saviour rose, and left the grave, And ever liveth now to save. 3 Now let our songs His triumph tell, Who burst the bands of death and hell; The First-begotten of the dead, For us He rose, our glorious Head. 4 No more we tremble at the grave, For Jesus will their spirits save. O risen Lord, in Thee we live, To Thee our ransomed souls we give. 5 All praise be Thine, O risen Lord, From death to endless life restored; All praise to God the Father be And Holy Ghost eternally. Amen.

Crown Him with Many Crowns

Crown him with many crowns As thrones before Him fall, Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns For He is King of all. Amen.

Christ is risen from the dead! 2 In the triumph of this hour, Jubilant shall swell the song; Unto Jesus, honor, power, Blessing, victory belong. Scattered are the clouds of error, Sin and hell are captive led: E'en the grave is free from terror, Christ is risen from the dead! 3 Every people, every nation Soon shall hear the gladsome sound; Joyous tidings of salvation, Borne to earth's remotest bound. Then shall rise, in tones excelling, Praise for grace so freely shed, And the Easter hymn be swelling, Christ is risen from the dead! Amen.

Father, Be Thy Blessing Shed

Author: Samuel Gilman Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, be Thy blessing shed On Thy chosen servant's head; Saviour, needed grace impart To sustain and keep his heart; Holy Spirit, with Thy fire Touch his lips, his soul inspire, That Thy truth thro' him be told Fearlessly to young and old. 2 Seal this day the vows that hold Flock and shepherd in one fold. May he Jesus' mandate keep, "Feed My lambs," and "Feed My sheep!" By Thee to Thy people sent With Thy Word and Sacrament, May he so proclaim the Word That who hear him hear Thee, Lord. 3 In Thy vineyard called to toll, Wisely may he search the soil; Sinners may he love and win, While he hates and brands the sin. Give him boldness for the right, Give him meekness in the fight, Teach him zeal and care to blend, Give him patience to the end. 4 Grant him in his charge to find Listening ear and fervent mind, Helpful counsels, deepening peace, Earnest life, and glad increase; May they, by each other led, Grow to one in Christ, their Head, And at last together be Ripe for heaven and meet for Thee. Amen.

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Appears in 375 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, Where sound the cries of race and clan, Above the noise of selfish strife, We hear Thy voice, O Son of Man. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, On shadowed thresholds dark with fears, From paths where hide the lures of greed, We catch the vision of Thy tears. 3 From tender childhood's helplessness, From woman's grief, man's burdened toil, From famished souls, from sorrow's stress, Thy heart has never known recoil. 4 The cup of water given for Thee Still holds the freshness of Thy grace; Yet long these multitudes to see The sweet compassion of Thy face. 5 O Master, from the mountain side, Make haste to heal these hearts of pain; Among these restless throngs abide, O tread the city's streets again, 6 Till sons of men shall learn Thy love, And follow where Thy feet have trod; Till glorious from Thy heaven above Shall come the City of our God. Amen.
