Come, Faithful Shepherd, Bind Me

Author: James Hutton Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:14 Lyrics: 1 Come, faithful Shepherd, bind me With cords of love to thee, and evermore remind me that thou hast died for me; O may the Holy spirit set this before my eyes, that I thy death and merit above all else may prize. 2 Thou, Lord, wilt not forsake me, though I am oft to blame; as thy reward, O take me anew, just as I am; grant me henceforth, dear Savior, through all my pilgrim years to look to thee and never give way to anxious fears. 3 Am I of my salvation assured through thy great love? May I on each occasion to thee more faithful prove. Hast thou my sins forgiven? Then, leaving things behind, may I press on to heaven and bear the prize in mind.

I Walk in Danger All the Way

Author: Hans A. Brorson, 1694-1764; Ditlef G. Ristad, 1863-1938 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:12-14 Lyrics: 1 I walk in danger all the way; the thought shall never leave me that Satan, who has marked his prey, is plotting to deceive me. This foe with hidden snares may seize me unawares if e'er I fail to watch and pray; I walk in danger all the way. 2 I pass through trials all the way, with sin and ills contending; in patience I must bear each day the cross of God's own sending. Oft in adversity I know not where to flee, when storms of woe my soul dismay; I pass through trials all the way. 3 Grim death pursues me all the way, nowhere I rest securely; he comes by night, he comes by day, he takes his prey most surely. A failing breath, and I in death's strong grasp may lie to face eternity today; grim death pursues me all the way. 4 I walk with angels all the way, they shield me and befriend me; all Satan's pow'r is held at bay when heav'nly hosts attend me. They are my sure defense; all fear and sorrow, hence! Unharmed by foes, do what they may, I walk with angels all the way. 5 I walk with Jesus all the way, his guidance never fails me; within his wounds I find a stay when Satan's pow'r assails me; and by his footsteps led, my path I safely tread. No evil leads my soul astray; I walk with Jesus all the way. 6 My walk is heav'nward all the way; await, my soul, the morrow, when your at last with joy can say farewell to sin and sorrow. All worldly pomp, begone! To heav'n I now press on. For all the world I would not stay; my walk is heav'nward all the way. Topics: Hope and Comfort Used With Tune: DER LIEBEN SONNE LICHT UND PRACHT

It Is Better Farther On

Author: Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:13-14 First Line: Hark! I hear Hope sweetly singing Lyrics: 1 Hark! I hear Hope sweetly singing Softly in an undertone, Singing as if God had taught her, “It is better farther on.” Night and day I hear her singing— Singing while I sit alone, Singing so my heart may hear it, “It is better farther on.” 2 When my faith took hold on Jesus, Light divine within me shone, And I know since that glad moment, “It is better farther on.” I have plunged into the fountain, Flowing free for everyone; I am saved and Hope is singing, “It is better farther on.” 3 Farther on, but how much farther? Count the milestones one by one; No, no counting, only trusting— “It is better farther on.” Rest, my soul, in hope forever, all my doubts and fears are gone; Jesus is my Savior, Keeper— “It is better farther on.” Used With Tune: [Hark!

Before Your Cross, O Jesus

Author: Ferdinand Q. Blanchard Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:7-10 Lyrics: 1 Before your cross, O Jesus, our lives are judged today; the meaning of our eager strife is tested by your way. Across our restless living the light streams from your cross, and by its clear, revealing beams we measure gain and loss. 2 The hopes that lead us onward, the fears that hold us back, our will to dare great things for God, the courage that we lack, The faith we keep in goodness, our love, as low or pure, on all, the judgment of the cross falls steady, clear, and sure. 3 Yet humbly, in our striving, we rise to face its test. We crave the power to do your will as once you did it best. On us let now the healing of your great Spirit fall, and make us brave and full of joy to answer to your call.
