Our Shepherd
Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 555 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Lamb Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that sees Him rise
To His throne above the skies!
Christ, the Lamb for sinners given,
Re-ascends His native heav'n,
Re-ascends His native heav'n.
2 There the glorious triumph waits:
Lift your heads, eternal gates;
He hath conquered death and sin;
Take the King of glory in!
Take the King of glory in.
3 Him though highest heaven receives,
Yet He loves the earth He leaves;
Though returning to His throne,
Still He calls mankind His own,
Still He calls mankind His own.
4 See He lifts His hands above!
See, He shows the prints of love!
Hark! His gracious lips bestow
Blessings on His church below!
Blessings on His church below!
5 Still for us His death He pleads;
Ever for us intercedes;
Near Himself prepares our place,
He the Firstfruits of our race,
He the Firstfruits of our race.
6 There we shall with Thee remain,
Partners of Thy endless reign;
There Thy face unclouded see,
Find our heaven of heavens in Thee,
Find our heaven of heavens in Thee.
Amen.

Not What My Hands Have Done
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Savior Lyrics: 1 Not what my hands have done
Can save my guilty soul;
Not what my toiling flesh has borne
Can make my spirit whole.
Not what I feel or do
Can give me peace with God;
Not all my prayers, and sighs, and tears
Can bear my awful load.
2 Thy grace alone, O God,
To me can pardon speak;
Thy power alone, O Son of God,
Can this sore bondage break.
No other work save Thine,
No other blood will do;
No strength save that which is divine
Can bear me safely through.
3 I bless the Christ of God;
I rest on love divine;
And with unfaltering lip and heart
I call this Saviour mine.
'Tis He that saveth me,
And freely pardon gives;
I love, because He loveth me;
I live, because He lives.
Amen. Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

A light to shine upon the road

And drove Thee from my breast.

Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.

Calm and serene my frame;
And purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.

My Shepherd’s with me there.

Shall crown my coming days;
Nor from Thy house will I remove,
Nor cease to speak Thy praise.

In times when temptation casts o'er me its power;
In the tempests of life, on its wide, heaving sea,
Thou blest Rock of Ages, I'm hiding in Thee. [Refrain]

I have fled to my Refuge and breathed out my woe;
How often, when trials like sea billows roll
Have I hidden in Thee, O Thou Rock of my soul. [Refrain]

Jerusalem the Golden
Author: Bernard de Morlaix Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 922 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Leader Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden,
With milk and honey blest,
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice opprest:
I know not, O I know not,
What joys await us there!
What radiancy of glory,
What light beyond compare!
2 And when I fain would sing them,
My spirit fails and faints,
And vainly would it image
The assembly of the saints,
They stand, those hall of Zion,
Conjubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng:
3 There is the throne of David;
And there, from care released,
The song of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast;
And they who, with their Leader,
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white!
Amen. Used With Tune: EWING
