We Sing the Glorious Conquest

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Epiphany Conversion of Paul Lyrics: 1. We sing the glorious conquest Before Damascus' gate, When Saul, the Church's spoiler, Came breathing threats and hate; The rav'ning wolf rushed forward Full early to the prey; But lo! the Shepherd met him, And bound him fast to-day. 2. Oh, glory most excelling That smote across his path! Oh, light that pierced and blinded The zealot in his wrath! Oh, voice that spake within him The calm, reproving word! Oh, love that sought and held him The servant of his Lord! 3. O Wisdom ord'ring all things In order strong and sweet, What nobler spoil was ever Cast at the Victor's feet? What wiser master-builder E'er wrought at your employ Than he, till now so furious Your building to destroy? 4. Lord, teach your Church the lesson, Still in her darkest hour Of weakness and of danger, To trust your hidden power: Your grace by ways mysterious The wrath of Earth can bind, And in Thy boldest rival Your chosen saint can find. Scripture: Acts 9:1-9 Used With Tune: MISSIONARY HYMN

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.

Hark, the Voice of Jesus Calling

Author: Daniel March Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 515 hymnals Topics: Epiphany Lyrics: 1. Hark! the voice of Jesus calling, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white, the harvest waiting, Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calls out, Rich reward he offers free: Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I, send me, send me." 2. If you cannot cross the ocean And the foreign lands explore, You can find the needy nearer, You can help them at your door. If you cannot give in thousands, You can give the widow's mite, And the least you give for Jesus, Will be precious in his sight. 3. If you cannot speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say he died for all. If you cannot rouse the wicked, With the judgment's dread alarms, You may lead the little children, To the Savior's waiting arms. 4. Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the lost of Earth are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the task he gives you gladly; Let his work your pleasure be. Answer quickly when he's calling, "Here am I, send, send me." Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Used With Tune: PLEADING SAVIOR

The world's creator wears the form and fashion of a slave; our very flesh our Maker shares, his fallen creatures all to save. 3 For this how wondrously he wrought! A maiden, in her lowly place, became, in ways beyond all thought, the chosen vessel of his grace. 4 Assenting to the angel's word, she chose what God the Spirit willed, and suddenly the promised Lord that pure and hallowed temple filled. 5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall, he lay within the manger bed, and he whose bounty feeds us all at Mary's breast himself was fed. 6 And while the angels in the sky sang praise above the silent field, to shepherds poor the Lord most high, the one great Shepherd, was revealed. 7 All glory for this blessèd morn to God, the source of all, is due; all praise to you, O Virgin-born, all praise, O Holy Ghost, to you.
