To lead us to virtue and keep us from sin;
Most men can be led, but few can be driv’n
In shunning perdition and striving for heav’n.
[Chorus:]
“Come along, come along” is the call that will win
In leading to virtue and keeping from sin;
“Come along, come along” is the call that will win
In leading to virtue and keeping from sin.
2. “Come to me, come to me” sweetly falls on the ear,
The word of the Lord full of comfort and cheer,
To bind up the broken, the captive set free,
In the good time that’s coming, we hope soon to see. [Chorus]
3. Let us govern by kindness and never by force,
All cheering and bright, like the sun in its course;
Obedience will spring from each heart with a bound,
And brotherhood flourish the wide world around. [Chorus] Topics: Agency; Brotherhood; Example; Leadership; Obedience; Reactivation; Special Topics; Worthiness Used With Tune: SPENCER

Of all the creatures God has made
Author: Hart Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:10 Lyrics: 1 Of all the creatures God has made,
There is but man alone
That stands in need to be arrayed
In coverings not his own.
2 [By nature, bears, and bulls, and swine,
With fowls of every wing,
Are much more warm, more safe, more fine,
Than man, their fallen king.]
3 Naked and weak, we want a screen;
But when with clothes we’re decked,
Not only lies our shame unseen,
But we command respect.
4 [Can sinful souls, then, stand unclad,
Before God’s burning throne,
All bare, or, what is quite as bad,
In coverings of their own?
5 Rich garments must be worn to grace
The marriage of the Lamb;
Not nasty rags to foul the place,
Nor nakedness to shame.]
6 Robes of imputed righteousness
Will gain us God’s esteem;
No naked pride, no fig-leaf dress,
How fair soe’er it seem.
7 [’Tis called a robe, perhaps to mean
Man has by nature none;
It grows not native, like our skin,
But is by faith put on.]
8 A sinner clothed in this rich vest,
And garments washed in blood,
Is rendered fit with Christ to feast,
And be the guest of God.
Of all the creatures God has made
Beauty for Ashes
Author: Grant Colfax Tullar Meter: 9.9.9.9 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:3 First Line: Beauty for ashes God hath decreed! Topics: Blessings; Promises Used With Tune: TULLAR

Where salvation echoes roll;
Living by the crystal fountain,
Which has made me fully whole.
Refrain:
Sound the tidings of salvation,
Let its echoes onward roll;
Praise the Lord, ye ransomed nation,
For He heals the wounded soul.
Hear the echoes roll,
’Tis the blood of Jesus
That has sanctified my soul.
2 Jesus brought me back to Eden,
Where the sun doth ever shine;
Precious, sweet, and pure redemption,
Hallelujah! It is mine. [Refrain]
3 Oh, the bliss of full salvation
Wakes the chords of melody,
In our hearts a sweet vibration
With all heaven’s minstrelsy. [Refrain]
4 Brother, when this life is ended,
On our pinions we shall rise,
Where the saints cannot be numbered,
In that world beyond the skies. [Refrain]
5 We shall reach the fields elysian,
When this mortal life is o’er;
Have a bright, immortal vision
On that ever-peaceful shore. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Jesus brought me to the mountain] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Joyful_News); Faith Publishing House, Echoes from Heaven, 1976 (102); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Select Hymns, 1911 (540)

The Bride of Christ
Author: Clara M. Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:10 First Line: O church of God, thou spotless bride Lyrics: 1 O church of God, thou spotless bride,
On Jesus breast secure;
No stains of sin in thee abide,
Thy garments all are pure.
Of unity and holiness
Thy gentle voice doth sing;
Of purity and lowliness
Thy songs in triumph ring.
2 Thou lovely virgin, thou art fair,
Thy mothers only child;
Thy heav’nly music let me hear,
Thy voice is sweet and mild.
Thy cheeks adorned with jewels bright,
Thy neck with chains of gold;
Unfurl thy banners in thy might,
Thy graces rich unfold.
3 She stood attired in spotless dress
The early morning through,
And then into the wilderness
On eagle’s wings she flew.
And nourished there from heav’nly clime,
She lived for many years;
Now, in this blessed evening time
Her glory reappears.
4 She leans upon an Arm of love
No sin her garments taints;
They’re made of linen wov’n above—
The righteousness of saints.
The marriage of the Lamb is come,
His bride all ready stands;
The Bridegroom soon will take her home
To dwell in heav’nly lands. Used With Tune: [O church of God, thou spotless bride] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/The_Bride_of_Christ); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (29); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Select Hymns, 1911 (59)

Choice of God, thou blessed day
Author: Miss H. F. Gould Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:6 Lyrics: 1 Choice of God, thou blessed day,
At thy dawn the grave gave way
To the power of Him within,
Who had, sinless, bled for sin.
2 Thine the radiance to illume
First, for man, the dismal tomb,
When its bars their weakness owned,
There revealing death dethroned.
3 Then the Sun of Righteousness
Rose, a darkened world to bless,
Bringing up from mortal night
Immortality and light.
4 Day of glory, day of power,
Sacred be thine every hour,
Emblem, earnest of the rest
That remaineth for the blest!
