Lo, what a pleasing sight
Hymnal: ELH1880 #392 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lo, what a pleasing sight
Are brethren that agree!
How blest are all whose hearts unite
In bonds of piety!
2 From those celestial springs,
Such streams of comfort flow,
As no increase of riches brings,
Nor honors can bestow.
3 All in their stations move,
And each performs his part,
In all the cares of life and love,
With sympathizing heart.
4 Formed for the purest joys,
By one desire possesed,
One aim the zeal of all employs,
To make each other blest.
5 No bliss can equal theirs,
Where such affections meet;
While praise devout, and mingled pray'rs,
Make their communion sweet.
6 'Tis the same pleasure fills
The breast in worlds above,
Where joy like morning dew distils,
And all the air is love. Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve of Holiness Languages: English
Lo, what a pleasing sight
He that goeth forth with weeping
Hymnal: ELH1880 #393 (1880) Lyrics: 1 He that goeth forth with weeping,
Sowing precious seed in love,
Never tiring, never sleeping,
Findeth blessing from above.
2 Soft descend the dews of heaven,
Bright the rays celestial shine;
Precious fruits will thus be given
Through an influence all divine.
3 Sow thy seed, be never weary,
Let no fears thy soul annoy;
Be the prospect ne’er so dreary,
Thou shalt reap the fruits in joy.
4 God but uses thee as sower,
Puts the seed into thy hand;
Sow thou then, let Him be Mower,
Till thou reap in fatherland. Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Languages: English
He that goeth forth with weeping
Go, labor on; spend and be spent
Hymnal: ELH1880 #394 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on; spend and be spent,
Thy joy to do the Father’s will:
It is the way the Master went;
Should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go, labor on; ’tis not for naught;
Thine earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not;
The Master praises-- what are men?
3 Go, labor on; enough, while here,
If He shall praise thee, if He deign
The willing heart to mark and cheer:
No toil for Him shall be in vain.
4 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom’s voice,
The midnight peal: "Behold, I come!" Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Hope Languages: English
Go, labor on; spend and be spent
Christian, seek not yet repose
Hymnal: ELH1880 #395 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Christian, seek not yet repose,
Cast thy dreams of ease away,
Thou art in the midst of foes,
Therefore watch and pray.
2 Gird thy heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever, night and day;
Near thee lurks the evil one,
Therefore watch and pray.
3 Listen to the sorrowing Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
It is He who speaks the Word,
Therefore watch and pray.
4 'Twas in watching and in prayer,
Holy men of olden day
Won the palms and crowns they wear;
Therefore watch and pray.
5 Watch, for Thou Thy guard must keep;
Pray, for God must speed thy way;
Narrow is the road and steep,
Therefore watch and pray. Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Languages: English
Christian, seek not yet repose
Up, my soul, gird thee with power
Hymnal: ELH1880 #396 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Up, my soul, gird thee with power,
Watch! to prayer betake thee;
Lest the sudden evil hour
Unawares o'ertake thee.
Satan's prey
Soon are they,
Who, with best endeavor,
Watch not, pray not, ever.
2 But first rouse thee, and awake
From secure indiff'rence;
Else will follow in its wake
Woe without deliv'rance.
Take thou heed!
Utter need,
Death in sins might find thee,
Ere thou look behind thee.
3 Wake, arouse! else can the Lord
Not enlighten, ground thee;
Nor thou see the quickening Word
Shine in splendor round thee.
God demands
Eyes and hands
Open for the offers,
He so richly proffers.
4 With thy watching mingle prayer;
Grace but rids from slumber.
God rids thee from slothful care
And the weights that cumber;
Else will still
Mind and will
Lukewarm praises tender,
And cold service render.
5 God will have it that we ask,
And it shall be given;
Who pray alway, alway bask
In the grace of heaven.
Ere they plead
Will He heed,
Strengthen, keep, defend them,
And deliv'rance send them.
6 Cheer thee then, my soul! All must
Work for good, and bless us,
If we but in prayerful trust
To God's Son address us;
And He will
Richly fill,
And His Spirit send us,
Who to Him commend us.
7 Let us watch then, pray, with heed,
God will prove our Hearer;
For the hour of utmost need
Constantly draws nearer.
Saints will cheer,
Sinners fear,
When the trumpet calleth,
Earth in ruins falleth. Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Languages: English
Up, my soul, gird thee with power
Self-righteous souls on works rely
Hymnal: ELH1880 #397 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Self-righteous souls on works rely,
And boast their mortal dignity;
But if I lisp a song of praise,
Grace is the note my soul shall raise.
2 'Twas grace that quickened me when dead,
And grace my soul to Jesus led;
Grace brings me pardon for my sin--
'Tis grace subdues my lusts within.
3 'Tis grace that sweetens ev'ry cross,
'Tis grace supports in ev'ry loss;
In Jesus' grace my soul is strong--
Grace is my hope and Christ my song.
4 'Tis grace defends when danger's near;
And 'tis by grace I persevere;
'Tis grace constrains my soul to love--
Free grace is all they sing above.
5 Through endless years of grace I'll sing,
Adore and bless my heavenly King;
I'll cast my crown before His throne,
Saved by His sov'reign grace alone. Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Languages: English
Self-righteous souls on works rely
God of grace, whose Word is sure
Hymnal: ELH1880 #398 (1880) Lyrics: 1 God of grace, whose Word is sure,
Thou who keenest truth forever,
That my trust may rest secure
On this ground that wavers never,
Let Thy truth be dear to me,
That my soul may faithful be.
2 Ever true this word remains:
He who Christ to own refuses,
While he earthly comfort gains,
Everlasting comfort loses;
For the Savior will not own
Him before the Father's throne.
3 To the banner of the cross
I fidelity have plighted,
It would be my endless loss
If this solemn vow were slighted;
Therefore Jesus, none but He,
Shall my constant watchword be.
4 Let me, till my latest breath,
Christ confess with constant meekness;
Let me faithful be till death,
Strong in Him 'mid all my weakness;
Let me live in Him, and die
Heir of mansions in the sky. Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Languages: English
God of grace, whose Word is sure
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Hymnal: ELH1880 #399 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my All shalt be.
Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest.
2 Haste my soul from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer,
Heaven's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Jesus, I my cross have taken
Rise, O my soul, pursue the path
Hymnal: ELH1880 #400 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Rise, O my soul, pursue the path
By ancient worthies trod;
Aspiring, view those holy men
Who lived and walked with God.
2 Though dead, they speak in reason’s ear,
And in example live;
Their faith, and hope, and mighty deeds,
Still fresh instruction give.
3. ’Twas through the Lamb’s most precious blood
They conquered every foe;
To His power and matchless grace
Their crowns of life they owe.
4 Lord, may I ever keep in view
The patterns Thou hast giv'n,
And ne’er forsake the blessèd road
That led them safe to Heaven. Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Languages: English
Rise, O my soul, pursue the path
Flung to the heedless winds
Hymnal: ELH1880 #401 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Flung to the heedless winds,
Or on the waters cast,
The martyrs' ashes will
Be gathered at the last:
And from that scattered dust,
Around us and abroad,
Shall spring a plenteous seed
Of witnesses for God.
2 Jesus has now received
Their latest living breath;
Yet vain is Satan's boast
Of vict'ry in their death:
Still, still, though dead, they speak,
And, trumpet-tongued, proclaim
To many a wak'ning land
The one availing Name. Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Languages: English
