Christ is the one who calls

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:18-20 Lyrics: 1 Christ is the one who calls, the one who loved and came, to whom by right it falls to bear the highest name: and still today our hearts are stirred to hear his word and walk his way. 2 Christ is the one who seeks, to whom our souls are known. The word of love he speaks can wake a heart of stone; for at that sound the blind can see, the slave is free, the lost are found. 3 Christ is the one who died forsaken and betrayed; who, mocked and crucified, the price of pardon paid. Our dying Lord, what grief and loss, what bitter cross, our souls restored! 4 Christ is the one who rose in glory from the grave, to share his life with those whom once he died to save. He drew death's sting and broke its chains, who lives and reigns, our risen King. 5 Christ is the one who sends, his story to declare; who calls his servants friends and gives them news to share. His truth proclaim in all the earth, his matchless worth and saving name.

This is the truth sent from above

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20 Lyrics: 1 This is the truth sent from above, the truth of God, the God of love; therefore don't turn me from the door but hearken all, both rich and poor. 2 The first thing that I will relate, that God at first did man create; the next thing which to you I tell - woman was made with him to dwell. 3 Then after that 'twas God's own choice to place them both in paradise, there to remain from evil free except they ate of such a tree. 4 But they did eat, which was a sin, and thus their ruin did begin - ruined themselves, both you and me, and all of our posterity. 5 Thus we were heirs to endless woes till God the Lord did interpose; and so a promise soon did run: that he'd redeem us by his Son. 6 At at this season of the year our blest Redeemer did appear, and here did live, and here did preach, and many thousands he did teach. 7 Thus he in love to us behaved, to show us how we must be saved; and if you want to know the way, be pleased to hear what he did say: 8 'Go preach the gospel,' now he said, 'to all the nations that are made! And those that do believe on me, from all their sins I'll set them free.' 9 O seek! O seek of God above that saving faith that works by love! And, if he's pleased to grant thee this, thou't sure to have eternal bliss. 10 God grant to all within this place true saving faith, that special grace which to his people doth belong: and thus I chose my Christmas song.

Over the Seas

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:19 First Line: From the heathen far away Refrain First Line: Pity the heathen without the gospel light Lyrics: 1 From the heathen far away— Over the seas; List! a voice we must obey, Over the seas; Go to all the world and preach, Over the seas; In the name of Jesus teach, Over the seas. Refrain: Pity the heathen without the gospel light, Pity the heathen in error’s night. 2 Thousands there in midnight gloom Over the seas; Bowing down to wood and stone, Over the seas; Send your money with your pray’r, Over the seas; Earnest men are lab’ring there, Over the seas. [Refrain] 3 You can save a soul from sin, Over the seas; Souls immortal garner in, Over the seas; See them to their idols pray, Over the seas; Knowing not a better way, Over the seas.
