Who will serve the King? Who will be His helpers, Other lives to bring? Who will leave the world’s side? Who will face the foe? Who is on the Lord’s side? Who for Him will go? By Thy call of mercy, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord’s side, Savior, we are Thine. 2 Not for weight of glory, Not for crown and palm, Enter we the army, Raise the warrior psalm; But for love that claimeth Lives for whom He died: He whom Jesus nameth Must be on His side. By Thy love constraining, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord’s side, Savior, we are Thine! 3 Jesus, Thou hast bought us, Not with gold or gem, But with Thine own life-blood, For Thy diadem. With Thy blessing filling Each who comes to Thee, Thou hast made us willing, Thou hast made us free. By Thy grand redemption, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord’s side, Savior, we are Thine! 4 Fierce may be the conflict, Strong may be the foe, But the King’s own army None can overthrow. Round His standard ranging, Vict’ry is secure; For His truth unchanging Makes the triumph sure. Joyfully enlisting, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord’s side, Savior, we are Thine!

Dear God, Embracing Humankind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 540 hymnals Topics: Gospel Call and Response Lyrics: 1 Dear God, embracing human-kind, forgive our foolish ways; Reclothe us in our rightful mind, in purer lives your service find, in deeper reverence, praise. 2 In simple trust like theirs who heard, beside the Syrian sea, The gracious calling of your word, let us, like them, be spirit stirred, rise up and followers be. 3 O sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above! There Jesus met you prayerfully: the silence of eternity, interpreted by love. 4 Drop your still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of your peace. 5 Breathe through the pulses of desire your coolness and your balm; Let sense be numb, let flesh retire; speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm. Scripture: Mark 1:16-20 Used With Tune: REST
