Hark! the Voice of Jesus Crying

Author: Daniel March Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 509 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white, and harvests waiting; Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth, Rich reward He offers free; Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I; send me, send me"? 2 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you: Gladly take the task He gives you, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth, "Here am I; send me, send me." Amen. Topics: Church Year Septuagesima; Septuagesima; A Missionary Service; Missions Foreign; Missions Home Scripture: Matthew 20:1-16 Used With Tune: JESUS ÄR MIN VÄN DEN BÄSTE

Who is he that would condemn me? Christ hath saved me by His grace; Who an from my Saviour draw me? I am safe in His embrace. 3 And I am persuaded ever, Life nor death shall tear me from Christ, my blessed Lord and Saviour; Present things nor things to come, Height, nor depth, nor fear, nor favor, Aught that heaven and earth afford, Can me from Go's love e'er sever, Love revealed in Christ our Lord.

Author: J. Arrhenius Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus är min vän den bäste, Hvilkens like aldrig är; Skall då jag så med de fleste Öfvergifva honom här? Ingen skall mig kunna skilja Ifrån den mig har så kär; En skall vara bägges vilja Alltid här och evigt där. 2 Han har döden för mig lidit, Ingen skall förodøma mig; Hos sin Fader för mig bedit, Det mig gagnar eviglig. Ho är då, som vill förklaga Den han själf utkorat har? Ho vill ifrån honom draga Den han har i sitt försvar? 3 Jag är viss och därpå liter, Hvarken lif ej heller död Mig ifrån min Jesus sliter: Änglar, höghet eller nöd, Djuphet eller annat mera, Vare kommand' eller när, Skall mig från Guds kärlek föra, Som i Jesu Kristo är.

Ofvan världens ve och villa

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Ofvan världens ve och villa Står Du, Herre, ren och sann, Hög och härlig, stark och stilla, Konung, broder, frälserman. Tack för trofasthet i döden, Tack för skatt, som rost ej når! Tack för påsk dagsmorgongløden Tack för frid i dina spår! 2 Evig frihet från det höga Oss på dina stigar drar; Evig ungdom ur ditt öga Lyser i vårt hjärta klar. Himmelsk skönhet, kraft och ära, Mod och tro och hopp och tröst, Kärlekskraft att bördor bUrar Skänker oss din frälsarröst. 3 Må det märkas, att vi äga Ungdoms fröjd, som aldrig dör – Må vår tunga högt lofsäga, Att förundrad värld det hör! Må vår unga frihet brinna Solen lik så klar och varm, Att hvar frusen själ må finna Vägen till din frälsarbarm! 4 Lär oss käckt, med lyftad panna Storma mörkrets fasta slott, Aldrig obeslutsamt stanna, Men besegra ondt med godt! Kärleksfullt och modigt blicke Vi på världens kval och sär, Och din trøst oss vederkvicke, Hvar gång hjärtat ängsligt slår. 5 Låt oss, unga skott och grenar, Väsa i din Faders vård, Som oss ansar, böjer, renar I si stora ortagård, Så att världens blick må falla Och i alla hjärtan svalla Längtan efter andens makt!

God in Human Flesh Appearing

Author: Philipp Friedrich Hiller, 1699-1769 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: God, in human flesh appearing Lyrics: 1 God, in human flesh appearing, Took the children to His breast, Lambs with His green pastures cheering, Fitting for His heavenly rest; This is gentleness unbounded, This is lowliness of heart; All are by His love surrounded, None are ever bid depart. 2 Lord! I bless Thy mercy endless, For Thy pleasure is to bless; Me too, when my soul was friendless, Thou didst to Thy bosom press: For I, too, to Thee was given In the pure baptismal wave, There Thou mad'st me heir of heaven, Who hast died my soul to save. 3 Feeble is the love of mother, Father's blessings are as naught, When compared, my King and Brother, With the wonders Thou hast wrought; Thus it pleased Thy heavenly meekness; Pleasing also be my praise, Till my songs of earthly weakness Burst into celestial lays.
