We sing the praise of him who died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 194 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope let sin deride; for this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see in shining letters, God is love: he bears our sins upon the tree: he brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross: it takes our guilt away, and holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens every bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, and nerves the feeble arm for fight; it takes its terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light. 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angel's theme in heaven above.

They cast their nets in Galilee

Author: William Alexander Percy, 1885-1942 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 They cast their nets in Galilee just off the hills of brown; such happy, simple fisher-folk, before the Lord came down. 2 Contented, peaceful fishermen, before they ever knew the peace of God that filled their hearts brimful, and broke them too. 3 Young John who trimmed the flapping sail, homeless, in Patmos died. Peter, who hauled the teeming net, head-down was crucified. 4 The peace of God, it is no peace, but strife closed in the sod. Yet let us pray for but one thing- the marvelous peace of God.

Beneath the cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane, 1830-1869 Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 539 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, the shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land, a home within a wilderness, a rest upon the way, from the burning of the noontide heat and the burden of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus mine eyes at times can see the very dying form of one who suffered there for me; and from my smitten heart with tears two wonders I confess: the wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness. 3 I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of his face; content to let my pride go by, to know no gain nor loss, my sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.
