Yea, I will extol Thee

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Yea, I will extol thee, Lord of life and light Lyrics: Yea, I will extol Thee Lord of life and light, For Thine arm upheld me, Turn'd my foes to flight; I implored Thy succour, Thou wert swift to save, Heal my wounded spirit, Bring me from the grave. 193 Sing, ye saints, sing praises! Call His love to mind, For a moment angry, But for ever kind; Grief may, like a stranger, Through the night sojourn, Yet shall joy, to-morrow, With the sun return. In my wealth I vaunted, "Nought shall move me hence; Thou hast made my mountain, Strong in Thy defence:"-- Then Thy face was hidden, Trouble laid me low, "Lord," I cried right humbly, "Why forsake me so?" "Would my blood appease Thee, In atonement shed? Can the dust give glory?-- Praise employ the dead? Hear me, Lord, in mercy, God my Helper, hear." --Long Thou didst not tarry, Help and health were near. Thou hast turn'd my mourning Into minstrelsy, Girded me with gladness, Set from thraldom free: Thee my ransom'd powers Henceforth shall adore, Thee, my great Deliverer, Laud for evermore.

Jesus' Love Unbounded

Forward! Be Our Watchword

Author: Henry Alford Meter: 6.5.6.5 D 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 Forward! flock of Jesus, Salt of all the earth, Till each yearning purpose Springs to glorious birth: Sick, they ask for healing; Blind, they grope for day; Pour upon the nations Wisdom’s loving ray. Forward, out of error, Leave behind the night; Forward through the darkness, Forward into light! 3 Glories upon glories Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love Him One day to be shared! Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard; Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech a word: Forward, marching eastward Where the heaven is bright. Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight! 4 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! AMEN. Topics: The Call to Service Used With Tune: ST THERESA
