Before the Cross of Jesus
Author: Ferdinand Q. Blanchard, 1876-1968 Meter: 7.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Gospel Call and Response Lyrics: 1 Before the cross of Jesus
Our lives are judged today;
The meaning of our eager strife
Is tested by His Way.
Across our restless living
The light streams from His 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,
O God, we face its test.
We crave the pow'r to do Thy will
With Him who did it best.
On us let now the healing
Of His great Spirit fall,
And make us brave and full of joy
To answer to His call. Scripture: Revelation 14:4-6 Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year
Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger (1841-1919) Meter: Irregular Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in times and seasons; Gospel Call; Kingdom of God; New Year; Visons and Dreams Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year:
God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near;
nearer and nearer draws the time the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From farthest east to farthest west, where human feet have trod,
by the voice of many messengers goes forth the voice of God:
'Give ear to me, you continents, you islands give ear to me,
that earth may be filled with the glory of God,
as the waters cover the sea.'
3 Let us go forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world:
let us all fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free,
that earth may be filled with the glory of God,
as the waters cover the sea.
4 All that we do can have no worth, unless God bless the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvest-tide, till God gives life to the seed;
yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea. Scripture: 1 Peter 3:12 Used With Tune: BENSON

his Easter, his enthronement.
2 Hark! hark! the trump of jubilee
proclaims to every nation,
from pole to pole, by land and sea,
glad tidings of salvation:
Still on and on the anthems spread

the last of time's evangels,
Immanuel, crowned with many crowns,
the Lord of saints and angels.
