For my sake and the gospel's, go

Author: Edward Henry Bickersteth (1825-1906) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'For my sake and the gospel's, go and tell redemption's story'; his heralds answer, 'Be it so, and thine, Lord, all the glory!' They preach his birth, his life, his cross, the love of his atonement, for whom they count the world but loss, his Easter, his enthronement. 2 Hark! hark! the trump of jubilee proclaims to every nation, from pole to pole, by land and sea, glad tidings of salvation. Still on and on the anthems spread of alleluia voices; in concert with the holy dead, the warrior Church rejoices. 3 He comes, whose advent trumpet drowns the last of time's evangels, Immanuel, crowned with many crowns, the Lord of saints and angels. O Life, Light, Love, the great I AM, Triune, who changest never, the throne of God and of the Lamb is thine, and thine for ever.

To thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise

Author: William Chatterton Dix, 1837 - 98 Appears in 110 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise In hymns of adoration, To thee bring sacrifice of praise With shouts of exultation. Bright robes of gold the fields adorn, The hills with joy are ringing, The valleys stand so thick with corn That even they are singing. 2 And now, on this our festal day, Thy bounteous hand confessing, Upon thine altar, Lord, we lay The first-fruits of thy blessing. By thee the souls of men are fed With gifts of grace supernal; Thou, who dost give us daily bread, Give us the bread eternal. 3 We bear the burden of the day, And often toil seems dreary; But labor ends with sunset ray, And rest is for the weary. May we, the angel-reaping o'er, Stand at the last accepted, Christ's golden sheaves, for evermore To garners bright elected. 4 O blessèd is that land of God Where saints abide for ever, Where golden fields spread fair and broad, Where flows the crystal river. The strains of all its holy throng With ours today are blending; Thrice blessèd is that harvest-song Which never hath an ending. Topics: The Life In Christ Thanksgiving Used With Tune: BISHOPGARTH

Who Trusts in God, a Strong Abode

Author: Anon.; Benjamin H. Kennedy; Joachim Magdeburg; William Walsham How Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who trusts in God, a strong abode In heaven and earth possesses; Who looks in love to Christ above, No fear his heart oppresses. In Thee alone, dear Lord, we own Sweet hope and consolation; Our shield from foes, our balm for woes, Our great and sure salvation. 2 Though Satan's wrath beset our path, And worldly scorn assail us, While Thou art near we will not fear, Thy strength shall never fail us. Thy rod and staff shall keep us safe, And guide our steps forever; Nor shades of death, nor hell beneath, Our souls from Thee shall sever. 3 In all the strife of mortal life, Our feet shall stand securely: Temptation's hour shall lose its power, For Thou shalt guard us surely. O God, renew, with heavenly dew, Our body, soul and spirit, Until we stand at Thy right hand, Through Jesus' saving merit. Amen.

Ĉe l' Kristofesto ĝojas ni

Author: Ellen Gregory Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Ĉe l' Kristofesto ĝojas ni pri Kristo, infaneto Lyrics: 1. Ĉe l' Kristofesto ĝojas ni pri Kristo, infaneto. En Betlehem' naskiĝis li, kaj kuŝis en trogeto. Ŝafistoj apud Betlehem' anĝelajn voĉojn aŭdis; Do ili venis vidi lin, kaj ĝoje Dion laŭdis. 2. Al Betlehem', serĉante lin, la Saĝaj Viroj iris; Ĉar bela brila stelo pri Jesuo antaŭdiris. En domo ili trovis lin, kaj tie, adorante, Sin klinis teren antaŭ li, donacojn prezentante. 3. Al Dio laŭdu ankaŭ ni, ĉar Jesu-Kristo venis; Fariĝis viro sur la ter', kaj al la homoj benis. Ĉiela Reĝo estas li, do venu, adorante! Kun amo ni servadu lin fidele kaj konstante.
