Think on us who think on Thee, Every burdened soul release; O remember Calvary, And bid us go in peace. 2 By Thine agonizing pain, And bloody sweat, we pray, By Thy dying love to man, Take all our sins away; Burst our bonds, and set us free, From iniquity release; O remember Calvary, And bid us go in peace. 3 Let Thy blood by faith applied, The sinner’s pardon seal; Speak us freely justified, And all our sickness heal; By Thy passion on the tree, Let our griefs and sorrows cease, O remember Calvary, And bid us go in peace.

Carry the Tidings

Author: W. J. Ilsley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Rise! ye people, who have heard Lyrics: 1 Rise! ye people, who have heard The Gospel’s joyful call— Ye on whom its sacred truths Like dews of Heaven fall. Rise and bear to distant homes, Scatter wide o’er hill and plain, Joyful news that Jesus comes To reign on earth again. 2 Rise! and in the might of Him Whose chosen ones ye be, Bid the story of His love Be known from sea to sea. Rise in majesty and strength, Go in consciousness of power, And the barren plains at length Shall bear bright Sharon’s flower. 3 On broad prairies stretching far, On hill and mountain side, And where swiftly running streams Thro’ fertile valleys glide. There the waiting people dwell, Hungry, starving souls they be, Longing for the fruit which fell From life’s exhaustless tree. 4 Take to them the bread of life, The living waters bear; Feed the hungry, cheer the faint, With them thy bounty share. Then when time shall be no more, And th’archangel trump shall sound, They shall stand on Canaan’s shore, Who life and peace have found. Used With Tune: AJMAN
