Rise up, O men of God!
Author: William Pierson Merrill, 1867 - 1954 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #541 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory; The Life In Christ Service Lyrics: 1 Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and soul and mind and strength
To serve the King of kings.
2 Rise up, O men of God!
His kingdom tarries long;
Bring in the day of brotherhood,
And end the night of wrong.
3 Rise up, O men of God!
The Church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up and make her great!
4 Lift high the Cross of Christ!
Tread where his feet have trod;
As brothers of the Son of Man,
Rise up, O men of God! Languages: English Tune Title: FESTAL SONG
Rise up, O men of God!
Once to every man and nation
Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819 - 91 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #547 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory; The Life In Christ Service Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth and falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new messiah,
Offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by for ever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 Then to side with truth is noble,
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses,
While the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they had denied.
3 By the light of burning martyrs,
Christ, thy bleeding feet we track,
Toiling up new Calvaries ever
With the Cross that turns not back.
New occasions teach new duties;
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward
Who would keep abreast of truth.
4 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold
And upon the throne be wrong,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow,
Keeping watch above his own. Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER (TON-Y-BOTEL)
Once to every man and nation
Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823 - 95 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #553 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Consecration; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
Of our life's wild, restless sea,
Day by day his clear voice soundeth,
Saying, 'Christian, follow me!'
2 As of St. Andrew heard it
By the Galilean lake,
Turned from home and toil and kindred,
Leaving all for his dear sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
Of the vain world's golden store;
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, 'Christian, love me more.' A-men.
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
'Christian, love me more than these.'
5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies,
Saviour, may we hear thy call,
Give our hearts to thine obedience,
Serve and love thee best of all.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEE
Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish
Author: Thomas Moore, 1779 - 1852; Thomas Hastings, 1784 - 1872 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #569 (1958) Topics: The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith; The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish;
Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel;
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,
'Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure.'
3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above;
Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.

To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.
3 Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?
On Jesus' bosom nought but calm is found.
4 Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?
In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they.
5 Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and he is on the throne.

Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.
7 It is enough; earth's struggles soon shall cease,
And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace. Languages: English Tune Title: PAX TECUM

There is a land of pure delight
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #583 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Contemplation; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
2 There everlasting spring abides,
And never-withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood
While Jordan rolled between.
4 But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea,
And linger, shivering, on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
5 O could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy thoughts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes;
6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o’er,
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood
Should fright us from the shore!
Languages: English Tune Title: SAWLEY
There is a land of pure delight
Jerusalem, thou city fair and high
Author: Johann Matthaus Meyfart, 1590 - 1642; Catherine Winkworth, 1829 - 78 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #588 (1958) Topics: The Life in Christ Aspiration; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high,
Would God I were in thee!
My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly!
It will not stay with me:
Far over vale and mountain,
Far over field and plain,
It hastes to seek its fountain
And quit this world of pain.
2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour,
When wilt thou come at last?
When fearless to my Father's love and power,
Whose promise standeth fast,
My soul I gladly render;
For surely will his hand
Lead her, with guidance tender,
To heaven her fatherland.
3 Saints robed in white before the shining throne
Their joyful anthems raise,
Till heaven's glad halls are echoing with the tone
Of that great hymn of praise,
And all its host rejoices,
And all its blessèd throng
Unite their myriad voices
In one eternal song. Tune Title: JERUSALEM, DU HOCHGEBAUTE STADT

Where loyal hearts and true
Give me the wings of faith to rise
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #594 (1958) Topics: The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 Give me the wings of faith to rise
Within the veil, and see
The saints above, how great their joys,
How bright their glories be.
2 Once they were mourning here below,
And wet their couch with tears;
They wrestled hard, as we do now,
With sins and doubts and fears.
3 I ask them whence their victory came;
They, with united breath,
Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,
Their triumph to his death.
4 They marked the footsteps that he trod,
His zeal inspired their breast,
And, following their incarnate God,
Possess the promised rest.
5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise
For his own pattern given,
While the long cloud of witnesses
Shows the same path to heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: BALLERMA
Give me the wings of faith to rise
Behold a host like mountains bright!
Author: Hans Adolf Brorson, 1694 - 1764 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #599 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; The Life In Christ Commemoration Lyrics: 1 Behold a host like mountains bright!
Lo! who are these, arrayed in white,
A glorious band, with palms in hand
Around the throne of light?
Lo, these are they who overcame
Great tribulation in his Name,
And with his Blood the Lamb of God
Hath washed away their shame.
Before God's face they sing and pray,
Their voices blend with angels' lay,
And all conspire, a joyous choir,
To laud him night and day.
2 Then sing, ye conquering legions white,
Let myriad voices hail his might,
And praise the Lord, who by his word
Hath stablished you in light.
Ye, who all earthly lure did flee,
Who sowed and toiled, but tears to see,
With rapture bring your sheaves and sing
A heavenly melody.
Lift up your palms, your voices raise
Through heaven's vault and endless days.
To God and to the Lamb is due
Eternity of praise. Languages: English Tune Title: BEHOLD A HOST
Behold a host like mountains bright!
