Tell the world, O tell the world

Author: William Drake Pennick (1884-1944) Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: We are witnesses for Jesus Lyrics: 1 We are witnesses for Jesus In the haunts of sin and shame, In the underworld of sorrow Where men seldom hear his name; For to bind the broken-hearted And their liberty proclaim, We are witnesses for Jesus In the haunts of sin and shame. Refrain: Tell the world, O tell the world! 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.

Hushed was the evening hymn

Author: James Drummond Burns (1823-64) Appears in 236 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hushed was the evening hymn, The temple courts were dark, The lamp was burning dim Before the sacred ark; When suddenly a voice divine Rang through the silence of the shrine. 2 The old man, meek and mild, The priest of Israel, slept; His watch the temple child, The little Levite, kept; And what from Eli’s sense was sealed The Lord to Hannah’s son revealed. 3 O give me Samuel’s ear, The open ear, O Lord, Alive and quick to hear Each whisper of thy word; Like him to answer at thy call And to obey thee first of all. 4 O give me Samuel’s heart, A lowly heart, that waits Where in thy house thou art, Or watches at thy gates By day and night, a heart that still Moves at the breathing of thy will. 5 O give me Samuel’s mind, A sweet unmurmuring faith, Obedient and resigned To thee in life and death; That I may read with childlike eyes Truths that are hidden from the wise.

Author: Emily Huntington Miller (1833-1913) Appears in 205 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I love to hear the story Which angel voices tell, How once the King of Glory Came down on earth to dwell; I am both weak and sinful, But this I surely know: The Lord came down to save me Because he loved me so. 2 I’m glad my blessèd Saviour Was once a child like me, To show how pure and holy His little ones might be; And if I try to follow His footsteps here below, He never will forsake me Because he loves me so. 3 To sing his love and mercy My sweetest songs I’ll raise; For though I cannot see him, I know he hears my praise; And mine his loving promise That even I may go To sing among the angels, Because he loves me so.

He looks down from Heaven to see us shine; You in your small corner and I in mine. 3 Jesus bids us shine, then, for all around Many kinds of darkness in this world abound; Sin and want and sorrow; so we must shine, You in your small corner and I in mine.
