Vanity of the world

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXCIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The World; Vanity of the World First Line: In vain the giddy world inquires Lyrics: 1 In vain the giddy world inquires, Forgetful of their God, "Who will supply our vast desire, "Or shew us any good?" 2 Thro' the wide circuit of the earth Their eager wishes rove, In chace of honor, wealth, and mirth, The phantoms of their love. 3 But oft these shadowy joys elude Their most intense pursuit; Or if they seize the fancied good, There's poison in the fruit. 4 Lord, from this world call off my love, Set my affections right: Bid me aspire to joys above, And walk no more by sight. 5 O let the glories of thy face Upon my bosom shine: Assur'd of thy forgiving grace, My joys will be divine.

Surrounded by a world of need

Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Hymnal: New Church Praise #91 (1975) Topics: God--in Jesus Christ Hope of the World; World and Society Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 Surrounded by a world of need, by men to heal, to house and feed, our mind is given to despair, and hope is undermined by war. Yet through the fabric of our time there runs the liberating theme of love that makes the world go round, of love creative and profound. 2 This love is in the face of Christ, in human life, made manifest; its strong intent will conquer all, it raises people when they fall. Then help us, Lord, to understand the good your purpose put in man, and use, to bring your reign about, those in the church and those without. Languages: English Tune Title: ASKERSWELL

Only Jesus I pursue, Who bought me with His blood: All thy pleasures I forego; I trample on thy wealth and pride; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus, crucified. 2 Other knowledge I disdain; 'Tis all but vanity: Christ, the Lamb of God, was slain,-- He tasted death for me. Me to save from endless woe The sin-atoning Victim died: Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus, crucified. 3 Him to know is life and peace, And pleasure without end; This is all my happiness, On Jesus to depend; Daily in His grace to grow, And ever in His faith abide; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus, crucified.

Make salvation’s story heard; In the highways, in the byways, And in lands beyond the sea, Do some witnessing for Jesus Wheresoever you may be. 2 We are witnesses for Jesus In the lands beyond the sea, Where the millions bound by evil Have no hope of liberty; As we tell the gospel tidings, Lo! the captives are set free; We are witnesses for Jesus In the lands beyond the sea. 3 We are witnesses for Jesus In the home and in the mart, Where the cares of life and fashion Crowd the Saviour from the heart; When we urge his claims with wisdom Many choose the better part; We are witnesses for Jesus In the home and in the mart.

There is a world we have not seen

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #932 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The World to Come Lyrics: 1 There is a world we have not seen, That wasting time can ne'er destroy, Where mortal footstep hath not been, Nor ear hath caught its sounds of joy. 2 That world to come! and, oh, how blest!-- Fairer than prophets ever told; And never did an angel-guest One half its blessedness unfold. 3 It is all holy and serene,-- The land of glory and repose; And there, to dim the radiant scene, No tear of sorrow ever flows. 4 It is not fanned by summer gale; 'Tis not refreshed by vernal showers It never needs the moonbeam pale, For there are known no evening hours. 5 There forms unseen by mortal eye, Too glorious for our sight to bear, Are walking with their God on high, And waiting our arrival there.

But Thou didst pity, Lord, our gloomy plight; And Thou didst touch our eyes, and give them sight. 3 Now hallelujahs rise along the road Our glad feet tread; Thy love hath shared our sorrow's heavy load; There's light o'erhead: Glory to Thee whose love hath led us on, Glory for all the great things Thou hast done. 4 Where is death's sting, where, grave, thy victory, Where all the pain, Now that thy King the veil that hung o'er thee Hath rent in twain? Light of the world, we hear Thee bid us come To light and love in Thine eternal home. Languages: English Tune Title: SANDON
