O God, how great thy glory is!

Author: Ernest Lange Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, how great thy glory is! Thy wondrous ways, O who can know? O hight immense! what words suffice Thy countless attributes to show? 2 Greatness unspeakable is thine, Greatness whose undimished ray, When short-lived worlds are lost, shall shine, When earth and heaven are fled away. 3 Unchangeable, all-perfect Lord, Essential life's unbounded sea, What lives and moves, lives by thy word; It lives, and moves, and is, from thee. 4 High is thy power above all hight; Whate'er thy will decrees, is done; Thy wisdom, equal to thy might, Only to thee, O God, is known!

"Call them in;" the poor, the wretched

Author: Miss Anna Shipton Appears in 73 hymnals Lyrics: 1 "Call them in;" the poor, the wretched, Sin-stained wand'rers from the fold; Peace and pardon freely offer; Can you weigh their worth with gold? "Call them in," the weak, the weary, Laden with the doom of sin; Bid them come and rest in Jesus; He is waiting; "call them in." 2 "Call them in;' the Jew, the Gentile; Bid the stranger to the feast; "Call them in," the rich, the noble, From the highest to the least: Forth the Father runs to meet them, He hath all their sorrows seen; Robe, and ring, and royal sandals, Wait the lost ones; "call them in." 3 "Call them in;" the more professors, Slumbering, sleeping, on death's brink; Nought of life are they possessors, Yet of safety vainly think; Bring them in; the careless scoffers, Pleasure seekers of the earth: Tell of God's most gracious offers, And of Jesus' priceless worth. 4 "Call them in;" the broken-hearted, Cow'ring 'neath the brand of shame; Speak Love's message low and tender, "'Twas for sinners Jesus came:" See, the shadows lengthen round us, Soon the day-dawn will begin; Can you leave them lost and lonely? Christ is coming; "call them in." Topics: Bible Songs Missionary Songs Scripture: Luke 14:23 Used With Tune: CALL THEM IN

Author: Breviary Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us keep steadfast guard With lighted hearts all night, That when Christ comes, we stand prepared, And meet him with delight. 2 At midnight's season chill Lay Paul and Silas bound, Bound and in prison, sang they still, And singing, freedom found. 3 Our prison is this earth, And yet we sing to thee: Break sin's strong fetters, lead us forth, Set us, believing, free!

O lift up your heads! your redemption draws near!

Author: R. F. Cottrell Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O lift up your heads! your redemption draws near! Let nothing discourage, or cause you to fear; Our Saviour is faithful, his promise is sure To all who hear trials, hold fast, and endure. 2 Well may you have courage, your cause is the Lord's, Attested by signs, and with Scripture accords; And though all the powers of the dragon assail, The truth, being mighty, will surely prevail. 3 Hold fast that rich treasure, nor e'er lay it down; Endure to the end and let none take thy crown; The spirits of darkness will seek to devour, But Jesus and angels excel them in power. 4 Rich promise to all who shall now overcome! To be a firm pillar in God's sacred dome, Inscribed with his name, and the Son of his love, And that of the city which comes from above.

Resting by-and-by

Author: Sidney Dyer Appears in 25 hymnals First Line: When faint and weary toiling Lyrics: 1 When faint and weary toiling, The sweat-drops on my brow I long to rest from labor, To drop the burden now, There comes a gentle chiding, To quell each mourning sigh: "Work while the day is shining; There's resting by-and-by." Chorus: Resting by and by, There's resting by-and-by; We shall not always labor, We shall not always cry; The end is drawing nearer, The end for which we sigh; We'll lay our heavy burdens down; There's resting by-and-by. 2 This life to toil is given, And he improves it best Who seeks by patient labor To enter into rest; Then, pilgrim, worn and weary, Press on, the goal is nigh; The prize is straight before thee; There's resting by-and by. [Chorus] 3 Nor ask when, overburdened, You long for friendly aid, "Why idle stands my brother, No yoke upon him laid?" The Master bids him tarry, And dare you ask him why? "Go labor in my vineyard, There's resting by-and-by." [Chorus] 4 Wan reaper in the harvest, Let this thy strength sustain, Each sheaf that fills the garner Brings you eternal gain; Then bear the cross with patience, To fields of duty hie; 'Tis sweet to work for Jesus; There's resting by-and-by. [Chorus] Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Used With Tune: RESTING BY-AND-BY

Lo! an angel loud proclaiming

Author: H. S. Gurney Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! an angel loud proclaiming, Brings the gospel of good cheer; Every kindred, tongue, and people, Fear the Lord, soon to appear! Proclamation Of the hour of Judgment near. 2 Lo! another angel follows, With another solemn cry; "Babylon the great is fallen!" Peals like thunder through the sky: "Let my people Now from all her errors fly." 3 Yet, a third and solemn message Now a final doom proclaims; All who worship beast or image Soon shall feel the avenging flames: Grace no longer Shelters their unworthy names. 4 Here are they who now are waiting, And have patience to endure; While the dragon's hosts are raging, These confide in God, secure: Faith of Jesus And commandments keep them pure.
