Author: Samuel Johnson Appears in 113 hymnals Topics: Activity First Line: Onward, Christian, though the region Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian, though the region Where thou art be drear and lone; God has set a guardian legion Very near thee; press thou on. 2 By the thorn-road, and none other, Is the mount of vision won; Tread it without shrinking, brother, Jesus trod it; press thou on. 3 Be this world the wiser, stronger, For thy life of pain and peace; While it needs thee, oh, no longer Pray thou for thy quick release. 4 Pray thou, Christian, daily rather, That thou be a faithful son; By the prayer of Jesus, "Father, Not my will, but thine, be done."

O Thou before whose presence

Author: S. J. Stone Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Activity and Zeal Lyrics: 1 O Thou before whose presence Naught evil may come in, Yet who dost look in mercy Down on this world of sin; Oh, give us noble purpose To set the sin-bound free, And Christ-like tender pity To seek the lost for Thee. 2 Fierce is our subtle foeman: The forces at his hand With woes that none can number, Despoil the pleasant land; All they who war against them, In strife so keen and long, Must in their Savior's armor Be stronger than the strong. 3 So hast Thou wrought among us The great things that we see: For things that are we thank Thee, And for the things to be. For bright hope is uplifting Faint hands and feeble knees, To strive beneath Thy blessing For greater things than these. 4 Lead on, O Love and Mercy, O Purity and Power, Lead on till peace eternal Shall close this battle-hour: Till all who prayed and struggled To set their brethren free, In triumph, meet to praise Thee, Most Holy Trinity. Used With Tune: [O Thou before whose presence]

Thou alone my Saviour art, Teach Thy wisdom to my heart; Make me pure, Thy grace bestow, Wash me whiter than the snow, Make me pure, Thy grace bestow, Wash me whiter than the snow. 3 Gracious God, my heart renew, Make my spirit right and tree; Cast me not away from Thee, Let Thy Spirit dwell in me; Thy salvation's joy impart, Steadfast make my willing heart, Thy salvation's joy impart, Steadfast make my willing heart. 4 Sinners then shall learn from me And return, O God, to Thee; Saviour, all my guilt remove, And my tongue shall sing Thy love; Touch my silent lips, O Lord, And my mouth shall praise accord, Touch my silent lips, O Lord, And my mouth shall praise accord.

O, who will help us to garner in The sheaves of good from the fields of sin? 2 Go out in the highways and search them all; The wheat may be there, though the weeds are tall; Then search in the highway, and pass none by; But gather from all for the home on high. [Chorus] 3 The fields all are rip'ning, and far and wide The world now is waiting the harvest tide; But reapers are few, and the work is great, And much will be lost should the harvest wait. [Chorus] 4 So come with your sickles, ye sons of men, And gather together the golden grain; Toil on till the Lord of the harvest come, Then share ye his joy in the "harvest home." [Chorus] Used With Tune: [O where are the reapers that garner in]
