And Are We Yet Alive

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #361 (1999) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And are we yet alive, And see each other's face? Glory and praise to Jesus give, For His redeeming grace. 2 What troubles have we seen, What conflicts have we passed, Fightings without, and fears within, Since we assembled last! 3 But out of all the Lord Hath brought us by His love; And still He doth His help afford, And hides our life above. 4 Then let us make our boast Of His redeeming power, Which saves us to the uttermost, Till we can sin no more. AMEN. Topics: Lay and Ordained Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: DENNIS

Go Forth, Ye Heralds, In My Name

Author: J Logan Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #362 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Go forth, ye heralds, in My name, Sweetly the gospel trumpet sound; The glorious jubilee proclaim, Where'er the human race is found. 2 The joyful news to all impart, And teach them where salvation lies. With care bind up the broken heart, And wipe the tears from weeping eyes. 3 Be wise as serpents where you go, But harmless as the peaceful dove, And let your heaven-taught conduct show, That ye're commissioned from above. 4 Freely from Me ye have received, Freely, in love, to others give: Thus shall your doctrines be believed And, by your labors, sinners live. AMEN. Topics: Lay and Ordained Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET

High On His Everlasting Throne

Author: J Wesley Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #363 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 High on his everlasting throne, The King of saints his work surveys, Marks the dear souls he calls his own, And smiles on the peculiar race. 2 He rests well pleased their toils to see; Beneath his easy yoke they move; With all their hearts and strength agree In the sweet labor of his love. 3 See, where the servants of their God, A busy multitude, appear; For Jesus day and night employed, His heritage they toil to clear. 4 The love of Christ their hearts constrains And strengthens their unwearied hands They spend their sweat and blood and pains To cultivate Emmanuel's lands. 5 O multiply thy sowers' seed, And fruit we every hour shall bear: Throughout the world thy gospel spread, Thine everlasting truth declare!

Lord of the Living Harvest

Author: John S B Monsell, 1811-1875 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #364 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Lord of the living harvest That whitens o'er the plain, Where angels soon shall gather Their sheaves of golden grain; Accept these hands to labor, These hearts to trust and love, And deign with them to hasten Thy kingdom from above. 2 As laborers in Thy vineyard, Send us, O Christ, to be Content to bear the burden Of weary days for Thee; We ask no other wages, When Thou shalt call us home, But to have shared the travail Which makes Thy kingdom come. 3 Be with us, God the Father, Be with us, God the Son, And God the Holy Spirit, Eternal Three in One! Make us a royal priesthood, Thee rightly to adore, And fill us with Thy fullness Now and for evermore. AMEN. Topics: Lay and Ordained Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: MISSIONARY HYMN

Except the Lord Conduct the Plan

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #365 (1999) Meter: 8.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Except the Lord conduct the plan, The best concerted schemes are vain, And never can succeed; We spend our wretched strength for naught; But if our works in Thee be wrought, They shall be blest indeed. 2 Lord, if Thou didst Thyself inspire Our souls with this intense desire Thy goodness to proclaim; Thy glory if we now intend, O let our deeds begin and end Complete in Jesus' name. 3 Now, Jesus, now Thy love impart, To govern each devoted heart, And fit us for Thy will; Deep founded in the truth of grace, Build up Thy rising Church, and place The city on the hill. 4 O let our love and faith abound; O let our lives, to all around With purest luster shine; That all around our works may see, And give the glory, Lord, to Thee, The heavenly light divine.

What Sweet Reflection—Calm Repose

Author: B. F. Wheeler Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #366 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 What sweet reflection—calm repose The gospel preacher's meed, To feel once more 'mid joys and woes He sowed the golden seed. 2 Though some beside the way did fly And some on rocks did spoil; Though some among the thorns did die, Perhaps some found good soil. 3 But if no sign of fruit he see Still, one blest thought remains: Obeying God's most strict decree He sowed the precious grains. 4 Obedience, then, to God's commands Attracts him on his throne, 'Tis fixed among his gracious plans Th'obedient soul he'll own. 5 Then, sow, ye husbandmen, cast 'way The Master's choicest seeds; The seeds you sow in tears today With morn bring golden sheaves.

Workman of God! O Lose Not Heart

Author: Frederick W Faber Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #367 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Workman of God! O lose not heart, But learn what God is like; And in the darkest battlefield Thou shalt know where to strike. 2 Thrice blest is he to whom is given The instinct that can tell That God is on the field, when He Is most invisible. 3 Blest too is he who can divine Where real right doth lie, And dares to take the side that seems Wrong to man’s blindfold eye. 4 Then learn to scorn the praise of men, And learn to lose with God; For Jesus won the world through shame, And beckons thee His road. AMEN. Topics: Lay and Ordained Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: NATIVITY

We May Not Climb the Heavenly Steeps

Author: John G Whittier Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #369 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For Him no depths can drown. 2 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is He, And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee. 3 The healing of His seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch Him in life’s throng and press, And we are whole again. 4 Through Him the first fond prayers are said, Our lips of childhood frame; The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with His name. 5 O Lord and Master of us all, Whate’er our name or sign, We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call, We test our lives by Thine! AMEN. Topics: Lay and Ordained Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: SERENITY

I Want the Weeping Prophet's Heart

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #370 (1999) Meter: 8.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 I want the weeping prophet's heart: O might my Lord to me impart Thy bleeding sympathy! On me, Thou Man of griefs, bestow The spring of tears, the depth of woe, The love that was in Thee. 2 I would our desolate Sion mourn By vile intestine vipers torn, By endless tempests tost, A Babel of religious strife, Buried in forms, whose power and life Of godliness is lost. 3 Or if Thou hast a few restored, Yet stranger to their bleeding Lord The multitude remain, Dead to a God they never knew, People, and priests, and princes too Are numbered with the slain. 4 For these I would in secret grieve, Their burden all day long receive, For these incessant pray, And many a mournful vigil keep, Water my couch with tears, and weep My pensive life away. 5 Only regard my dying cries, And bid the ruin'd church arise Which more than life I love, Call all her sons out of their grave, And this whole house of Israel save To sing Thy praise above.
