The Son of God Goes Forth to War

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 840 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:38 Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in His train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears His cross below, He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on Him to save. Like Him, with pardon on his tongue In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in His train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame: They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their turn? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n Through peril, toil, and pain; O God, to us may grace be giv'n To follow in their train! Amen.

Supplicating—Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me

Author: D. Turner Appears in 156 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:47 First Line: Jesus, full of all compassion Lyrics: 1 Jesus, full of all compassion, Hear thy humble suppliant’s cry, Let me know thy great salvation, See! I languish, faint, and die. 2 Guilty, but with heart relenting, Overwhelm'd with helpless grief, Prostrate at thy feet repenting, Send, O send me quick relief! 3 Whither should a wretch be flying, But to him who comfort gives? Whither, from the dread of dying, But to him who ever lives? 4 While I view thee, wounded grieving, Breathless on the cursèd tree, Fain I’d feel my heart believing That thou sufferedst thus for me. 5 With thy righteousness and spirit, I am more than angels blest; Heir with thee all things inherit, Peace, and joy, and endless rest. 6 Without thee, the world possessing, I should be a wretch undone; Search thro' Heaven, the land of blessing, Seeking good, and finding none. 7 Hear then, blessed Savior, hear me, My soul cleaveth to the dust; Send the Comforter to cheer me, Lo! in thee I put my trust. 8 On the word thy blood hath sealed, Hangs my everlasting All; Let thine arm be now revealed, Stay, O stay me, lest I fall! 9 In the world of endless ruin Let it never, Lord, be said, "Here's a soul that perish'd, suing "For the boasted Saviour's aid!" 10 Sav'd—the deed shall spread new glory Thro' the shining realms above; Angels sing the pleasing story, All enraptur'd with thy love!

Leeson; Jonathan Whittemore Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 150 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:14 Lyrics: 1 Gracious Savior, gentle Shepherd, Children all are dear to Thee; Gathered with Thine arms and carried In Thy bosom may they be; Sweetly, fondly, safely tended, From all want and danger free. 2 Tender Shepherd, never leave them, Never let them go astray; By Thy warning love directed, May we walk the narrow way! Thus direct them, thus defend them, Lest they fall an easy prey. 3 Cleanse their hearts from sinful folly In the stream Thy love supplied, Mingled stream of blood and water Flowing from Thy wounded side; And to heav'nly pastures lead them, Where Thine own still waters glide. 4 Let Thy holy Word instruct them; Fill their minds with heavenly light; Let Thy powerful grace constrain them To approve whate'er is right; Let them feel Thy yoke is easy, Let them prove Thy burden light. 5 Taught to lisp Thy holy praises Which on earth Thy children sing, Both with lips and hearts, unfeignèd, Glad thank-offerings may they bring; Then with all the saints in glory Join to praise their Lord and King. Amen. Join to praise our Lord and King. Topics: The Christian Home Christian Education Used With Tune: SIEH, HIER BIN ICH
