O what, if we are Christ's

Author: Henry Williams Baker Appears in 134 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O what, if we are Christ's, Is earthly shame or loss? Bright shall the crown of glory be When we have borne the cross. 2 Keen was the trial once, Bitter the cup of woe, When martyred saints, baptized in blood, Christ's sufferings shared below. 3 Bright is their glory now, Boundless their joy above, Where on the bosom of their God, They rest in perfect love. 4 Lord, may that grace be ours, Like them in faith to bear All that of sorrow, grief or pain, May be our portion here. 5 Enough if Thou at last The word of blessing give, And let us rest in thine own home, Where saints and angels live. 6 All glory, Lord, to Thee, Whom heav'n and earth adore; To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, One God forevermore.

Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure Defence And my Saviour, ever liveth; Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope it giveth, Though the night of death be fraught Still with many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives! I, too, unto life shall waken: He will have me where He is; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear? Or can the Head Rise and leave His members dead? 3 Nay, too closely am I bound Unto Him by hope for ever; Faith's strong hand the rock hath found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Not the ban of death can part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 Saviour, draw away our heart Now from pleasures base and hollow, Let us there with Thee have part, Here on earth Thy footsteps follow. Fix our hearts beyond the skies, Whither we ourselves would rise. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Resurrection Used With Tune: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT

Before Him on the mountains Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness the fountains From hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall fall down before , And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore Him, His praise all people sing. To Him shall prayer unceasing, And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Used With Tune: AURELIA
