Pass On the Torch
Author: Allen Eastman Cross Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:36 First Line: Pass on the torch, pass on the flame Lyrics: 1 Pass on the torch, pass on the flame;
Remember whence the Glory came;
And eyes are on you as you run,
Beyond the shining of the sun.
2 Lord Christ, we take the torch from Thee;
We must be true, we must be free,
And clean of heart, and strong of soul
To bear the Glory to its goal.
3 O Lord of life, to Thee we kneel;
Maker of men, our purpose seal;
We will, for honor of Thy name,
Pass on the torch, pass on the flame.
Amen. Topics: Church; Evangelism; Faithfulness; Gospel Call and Response; Mission Used With Tune: WALTHAM
Pass On the Torch
The City Is Alive, O God
Author: William W. Reid Jr Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:39 Lyrics: 1 The city is alive, O God,
with sound of hustling feet,
with rapid change and flashing lights
that pulse through every street;
but oft there's inhumanity
behind the bright facade,
and throngs with empty, hungering hearts
cry out for help, O God.
2 Is it your will, O loving God,
that races live in strife,
that loneliness and greed and hate
should mark a city's life?
Do you desire one person's wealth
to keep another poor?
Must crime and slums and lust abound?
O Lord, is there no cure?
3 In Galilee the people heard
your servant Christ declare
through healing touch, through word and cross,
the good news of your care.
He said your heart touched every heart
that longed for peace and right,
that those bowed down by burdens borne
could find your life, your light.
4 O God, inspire your church today
to take Christ's servant role,
to love the world, to hear its claims
to sense its yearning soul,
to live within the marketplace,
to serve both weak and strong,
to lose itself, to share its dream,
to give the world its song. Topics: Biblical Names and Places Galilee; City; Culture, Community & Nation; Poverty and Oppression; Race Relations Used With Tune: STAR OF COUNTY DOWN
The City Is Alive, O God
Facing a Task Unfinished
Author: Frank Houghton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10 Lyrics: 1 Facing a task unfinished
that drives us to our knees,
a need that, undiminished,
rebukes our slothful ease,
we who rejoice to know you
renew before your throne
the solemn pledge we owe you
to go and make you known.
2 Where other lords beside you
hold their unhindered sway,
where forces that defied you
defy you still today,
with none to heed their crying
for life and love and light,
unnumbered souls are dying
and pass into the night.
3 We bear the torch that flaming
fell from the hands of those
who gave their lives proclaiming
that Jesus died and rose;
ours is the same commission,
the same glad message ours;
fired by the same ambition,
to you we yield our pow'rs.
4 O Father, who sustained them,
O Spirit, who inspired,
Savior, whose love constrained them
to toil with zeal untired,
from cowardice defend us,
from lethargy awake!
Forth on your errands send us
to labor for your sake. Topics: Spread of the Gospel; Christian warfare; Commitment; Deliverance; Martyrs; Sin; Spread of the Gospel Used With Tune: NYLAND

March on, my soul, with strength
Author: William Wright, 1859-1924 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:38 Lyrics: 1 March on, my soul, with strength,
march forward, void of fear;
he who has led will lead
while year succeeds to year;
and as you travel on your way,
his hand shall hold you day by day.
2 March on, my soul, with strength;
in ease you dare not dwell;
high duty calls you forth;
then up, and serve him well!
Take up your cross, take up your sword,
and fight the battles of your Lord!
3 March on, my soul, with strength,
with strength, but not your own;
the conquest you will gain
through Christ your Lord alone;
his grace shall nerve your feeble arm,
his love preserve you safe from harm.
4 March on, my soul, with strength,
from strength to strength march on;
warfare shall end at length,
all foes be overthrown.
And then, my soul, if faithful now,
the crown of life awaits your brow. Topics: Faith, Trust and Commitment; The Pilgrim Community Used With Tune: CHRISTCHURCH

Author: Henry B. Hartzler Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 with repeat Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:5-24 First Line: Go and seek the lost and dying Lyrics: 1 Go and seek the lost and dying:
Preach the world's glad jubilee:
Like the herald angels, flying,
Bear God's message o'er the sea;
Toil for Jesus,
Till the blind His glory see,
Toil for Jesus,
Till the blind His glory see.
2 Go and tell the blessed story
Of the holy Lamb of God:
Show the poor His grace and glory;
Lead the dying to His blood,
Ever crying,
O behold the Lamb of God!
Ever crying,
O behold the Lamb of God!
3 May the peace of God attend you,
As you gather precious spoil;
May His arms of love defend you.
All assaults of evil foil.
May His presence
Cheer you on the field of toil,
May His presence
Cheer you on the field of toil.
4 Fare you well! whate'er betide you.
Look to Jesus for His grace:
He will comfort, cheer, and guide you.
Till at last, in His embrace,
Safe forever,
You shall see Him face to face,
Safe forever,
You shall see Him face to face.
Amen. Used With Tune: ZION
