Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Hymnal: NCH1995 #190 (1995) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Person Name: Frederick C. Maker Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I gladly take my stand, the shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land; A home within the 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 within my mind I see the very dying form of One who suffered there for me; And from my grieving heart with tears two wonders I confess - the wonders of Christ's glorious love and my unworthiness. 3 I take, O cross, your shadow for my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of Christ's face; Content to let the world go by, to know no gain or loss, my sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.

Before Your Cross, O Jesus

Author: Ferdinand Q. Blanchard Hymnal: NCH1995 #191 (1995) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Person Name: Frederick C. Maker Lyrics: 1 Before your cross, O Jesus, our lives are judged today; the meaning of our eager strife is tested by your way. Across our restless living the light streams from your cross, and by its clear, revealing beams we measure gain and loss. 2 The hopes that lead us onward, the fears that hold us back, our will to dare great things for God, the courage that we lack, The faith we keep in goodness, our love, as low or pure, on all, the judgment of the cross falls steady, clear, and sure. 3 Yet humbly, in our striving, we rise to face its test. We crave the power to do your will as once you did it best. On us let now the healing of your great Spirit fall, and make us brave and full of joy to answer to your call.

Dear God, Embracing Humankind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: NCH1995 #502 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Person Name: Frederick C. Maker Lyrics: 1 Dear God, embracing human-kind, forgive our foolish ways; Reclothe us in our rightful mind, in purer lives your service find, in deeper reverence, praise. 2 In simple trust like theirs who heard, beside the Syrian sea, The gracious calling of your word, let us, like them, be spirit stirred, rise up and followers be. 3 O sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above! There Jesus met you prayerfully: the silence of eternity, interpreted by love. 4 Drop your still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of your peace. 5 Breathe through the pulses of desire your coolness and your balm; Let sense be numb, let flesh retire; speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: NCH1995 #145 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Person Name: A. H. Mann Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David’s city stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby in a manger for a bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 Jesus came to earth from heaven, who is God and Head of all, Sheltered in a rustic stable, cradles in a common stall: With the poor and meek and lowly lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 And through all this wondrous childhood Jesus honors and obeyed, Loved and watched the tender mother whose strong arms a cradle made. So, like Jesus, we should be serving God obediently. 4 Jesus is our childhood’s pattern, daily like us lived and grew, Jesus, little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles and comfort knew. Jesus felt the pain of sadness, and the joyous lift of gladness. 5 We at last shall meet our Savior, fount of God's redeeming grace, For that Child so dear and gentle, reigns within a glorious place; Leading all God's children on to the heaven where saints have gone.

O speak to reassure me, to hasten or control! O speak, and make me listen, O guardian of my soul! 4 O Jesus, you have promised to all who follow you that where you are in glory your servant shall be, too; And, Jesus, I have promised to serve you to the end; O give me grace to follow my Savior and my Friend!
