This Is the Field

Author: Joseph Hinchsliffe Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6646 First Line: This is the field, the world below Lyrics: 1. This is the field, the world below, In which the sowers came to sow, Jesus the wheat, Satan the tares, For so the word of truth declares: And soon the reaping time will come, And angels shout the harvest home. 2. Most awful truth! and is it so? Must all the world that harvest know? Is every man or wheat or tare? Then for that harvest O prepare! For soon the reaping time will come, And angels shout the harvest home. 3. To love my sins—a saint to appear, To grow with wheat—yet be a tare, May serve me while I live below, Where tares and wheat together grow: But soon the reaping time will come, And angels shout the harvest home. 4. But all who truly righteous be Their Father’s kingdom then shall see; And shine like suns for ever there: He that hath ears, now let him hear; For soon the reaping time will come, And angels shout the harvest home.

The Three Kings of Cologne

Author: Eugene Field, 1850-1895 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6701 First Line: From out Cologne there came three kings Lyrics: 1. From out Cologne there came three kings To worship Jesus Christ, their King. To Him they sought, fine herbs they brought, And many a beauteous golden thing; They brought their gifts to Bethlehem town, And in that manger set them down. 2. Then spake the first king, and he said: O Child, most heavenly, bright, and fair! I bring this crown to Bethlehem town For Thee, and only Thee, to wear; So give a heavenly crown to me When I shall come at last to Thee! 3. The second, then. I bring Thee here This royal robe, O Child! he cried; Of silk ’tis spun, and such an one There is not in the world beside; So in the day of doom requite Me with a heavenly robe of white! 4. The third king gave his gift, and quoth: Spikenard and myrrh to Thee I bring, And with these twain would I most fain Anoint the body of my King; So may their incense sometime rise To plead for me in yonder skies! 5. Thus spake the three kings of Cologne, That gave their gifts, and went their way; And now kneel I in prayer hard by The cradle of the Child today; Nor crown, nor robe, nor spice I bring As offering unto Christ, my King. 6. Yet have I brought a gift the Child May not despise, however small; For here I lay my heart today, And it is full of love to all. Take Thou the poor but loyal thing, My only tribute, Christ, my King!

Happy Forever, Happy I

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7017 First Line: Happy forever happy I Lyrics: 1 Happy forever happy I, If suffered with my Lord to die! O might I gain the victor’s right, The robe of pure unspotted white, And wear the saints’ celestial dress, The Lord, my glorious righteousness. 2 Soon as I win the vast reward, The joy for conquerors prepared, Wrote in the volume of the Lamb Thou never wilt blot out my name, But me before Thy Father own, And rank with angels round Thy throne.

O God, What Offering Shall I Give?

Author: Joachim Lange; John Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8766 First Line: O God, what offering shall I give Lyrics: 1 O God, what offering shall I give To Thee, the Lord of earth and skies! My spirit, soul, and flesh receive, A holy, living sacrifice! Small as it is, ’tis all my store: More should’st Thou have, if I had more. 2 Now then, my God, Thou hast my soul: No longer mine, but Thine I am: Guard Thou Thine own, possess it whole! Cheer it with hope, with love inflame! Thou hast my spirit: there display Thy glory to the perfect day. 3 Thou hast my flesh, Thy hallowed shrine, Devoted solely to Thy will; Here let Thy light forever shine: This house still let Thy presence fill: O Source of life, live, dwell and move, In me, till all my life be love! 4 O never in these vales of shame, (Sad fruits of sin) my glorying be; Clothe with salvation, through Thy name, My soul, and let me put on Thee! Be living faith my costly dress, And my best robe, Thy righteousness. 5 Send down Thy likeness from above, And let this my adorning be; Clothe me with wisdom, patience, love, With lowliness and purity; Than gold and pearls more precious far, And brighter than the morning star. 6 Lord, arm me with Thy Spirit’s might, Since I am called by Thy great name! In Thee let all my Thoughts unite, Of all my works be Thou the aim: Thy love attend me all my days, And my sole business be Thy praise. Languages: English Tune Title: PATER OMNIUM

O God, Thy Righteousness We Own

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11477 Lyrics: 1 O God, Thy righteousness we own, Laid by Thy threatening judgments low, Beneath a nation’s load we groan, And more than share the common woe, The common woe, so long delayed Which bursts in thunder on our head. 2 Warned by Thy Spirit’s gracious call We looked for this vindictive day; And still we at Thy footstool fall, And still we weep, and watch, and pray: Hear, Jesu, hear our mournful prayer, And spare, the sinful nation spare. 3 Why should they still be stricken, Lord, When all Thy strokes are spent in vain? They will not see the invading sword, But dare Thy lifted arm again, And deep revolting more and more, Defy Thine anger’s utmost power. 4 Still they provoke Thy glorious eyes, And scorn Thy outstretched arm to fear, Thy gracious calls they still despise, And vex Thy faithful servants here, And hunt to death the righteous soul, And make their guilty measure full. 5 Though twice ten thousand souls are fled With pain to their eternal home, The rest disdain Thy wrath to dread, And eager for their instant doom, With pharaoh’s rage pursue Thy sheep, And rush into the hellish deep. 6 Yet for the honor of Thy love The people of Thy wrath forbear, Their sin and punishment remove, The fury and the waste of war; Pluck from the fire, almighty God, And quench the brands in Jesus’ blood!
