We cannot think of them as dead
O God of earth and altar
Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Petition and Intercession Lyrics: 1 O God of earth and altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die;
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.
2 From all that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor, and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord! A-men.
3 Tie in a living tether
The prince and priest and thrall,
Bind all our lives together,
Smite us and save us all;
In ire and exultation,
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword to thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: KING'S LYNN

Come to our poor nature's night
Alas! and did my Saviour bleed
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 2,317 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith; The Life In Christ Contemplation Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sovereign die?
Would he devote that sacred Head
For sinners such as I?
2 Was it for sin that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
And love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man, the creature's sin.
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While his dear Cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.
5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'Tis all that I can do.
Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM (AVON)
Alas! and did my Saviour bleed
Art Thou Weary, Heavy-laden?
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Appears in 643 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Consecration First Line: Art thou weary, heavy laden? Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, heavy-laden?
Art thou sore distressed?
“Come to Me,” saith One, “and coming,
Be at rest.”
2 Hath He marks to lead me to Him,
If He be my Guide?
“In His feet and hands are wound-prints,
And His side.”
3 Hath He diadem as Monarch,
That His brow adorns?
“Yea, a crown in very surety,
But of thorns!”
4 If I find Him, if I follow,
What His guerdon here?
“Many a sorrow, many a labor,
Many a tear.”
5 If I still hold closely to Him,
What has He at last?
“Sorrow vanquished, labor ended,
Jordan passed.”
6 If I ask Him to receive me,
Will He say me nay?
“Not till earth and not till heaven
Pass away.”
7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling,
Is He sure to bless?
“Prophets, saints, apostles, martyrs,
Answer, Yes.” Used With Tune: STEPHANOS

And press with vigor on;

2 A cloud of witnesses around
Hold you in full survey;
Forget the steps already trod,
And onward urge thy way,
And onward urge thy way.
3 'Tis God's all-animating voice
That calls thee from on high;
'Tis his own hand presents the prize
To thine aspiring eye.
4 Then wake, my soul, stretch every nerve,
And press with vigor on;
A heavenly race demands thy zeal,
And an immortal crown.

Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
