Come Christians, join to sing
There is a green hill far away
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 701 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains He had to bear;
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven,
Saved by His precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in.
5 O dearly, dearly has He loved,
And we must love Him too,
And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Passion; Atonement; Christ Friend, The; Christ Passion, His; Evangelistic Services; Good Friday; Lent Used With Tune: MEDITATION

Thy people still are fed;
Who through this weary pilgrimage
Hast all our fathers led,
2 Our vows, our prayers, we now present
Before Thy throne of grace;
God of our fathers, be the God
Of their succeeding race.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
4 O spread Thy covering wings around
Till all our wanderings cease,
And at our Father's loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.
5 Such blessings from Thy gracious hand
Our humble prayers implore;
And Thou shalt be our chosen God
And portion evermore.

O God of Bethel, by whose hand
O Holy City, seen of John
Author: Rev. W. Russell Bowie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Holy City, seen of John,
Where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
Within whose four-square walls shall come
No night, nor need, nor pain,
And where the tears are wiped from eyes
That shall not weep again!
2 O shame to us who rest content
While lust and greed for gain
In street and shop and tenement
Wring gold from human pain,
And bitter lips in blind despair
Cry, "Christ hath died in vain"!
3 Give us, O God, the strength to build
The City that hath stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose ways are brotherhood,
And where the sun that shineth is
God's grace for human good.
4 Already in the mind of God
That City riseth fair.
Lo, how its splendor challenges
The souls that greatly dare,
Yea, bids us seize the whole of life
And build its glory there!
Amen. Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth The City; Brotherhood; City, The; Discipleship and Service Used With Tune: MORWELLHAM

The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want

In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.

And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for His own Name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear none ill;
For Thou art with me; and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
4 My table Thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.

Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.

Who in His truth confide.

And shall be evermore.

And thus remember Thee.

And rest on Calvary,
O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice,
I must remember Thee;

And all Thy love to me:
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains
Will I remember Thee.

And mind and memory flee,
When Thou shalt in Thy Kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me.

"Forward!" be our watchword
Author: Rev. Henry Alford Appears in 343 hymnals Lyrics: 1 "Forward!" be our watchword,
Steps and voices joined;
Seek the things before us,
Not a look behind:
Burns the fiery pillar
At our army's head;
Who shall dream of shrinking,
By our Captain led?
Forward through the desert,
Through the toil and fight;
Jordan flows before us,
Zion beams with light!
2 Far o'er yon horizon
Rise the city towers,
Where our God abideth;
That fair home is ours:
Flash the streets with jasper,
Shine the gates with gold;
Flows the gladdening river,
Shedding joys untold.
Thither, onward thither,
In the Spirit's might;
Pilgrims to your country,
Forward into light!
3 To th' eternal Father
Loudest anthems raise,
To the Son, and Spirit,
Echo songs of praise,
To the Lord of glory,
Blessed Three in One,
Be by men and angels
Endless honor done.
Weak are earthly praises,
Dull the songs of night:
Forward into triumph,
Forward into light!
Amen. Topics: Work; The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service; Conflict With Sin; Discipleship and Service; Processionals; Young People's Day Used With Tune: FORWARD
