My Eyes Have Seen the Glory

Author: Julia Ward Howe Meter: Irregular Appears in 566 hymnals Topics: Gospel Call and Response First Line: My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord Refrain First Line: Glory, glory hallelujah! Lyrics: 1 My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord, who is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored, And has loosed the fateful lightning of a terrible swift sword; God's truth is marching on. Refrain: Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! God's truth is marching on. 2 God has been there in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps, where they built a sacred altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read the righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps; God's day is marching on. [Refrain] 3 God has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; and is sifting out the hearts of all before the judgment seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer and be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. [Refrain] 4 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, with a glory in whose bosom that transfigures you and me; As Christ died to make us holy, let us die to make all free; While God is marching on. [Refrain] Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 Used With Tune: BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 922 hymnals Topics: Calling and Response Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in God's justice which is more than liberty. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heaven; there is no place where earth's failings have such gracious judgement given. 3 There is plentiful redemption in the blood that Christ has shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander from a love so true and deep? 5 For the love of God is broader than the measures of the mind, and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts; Pauline Martin Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,057 hymnals Topics: Calling and Response First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross (Quand je me tourne vers la croix) Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God: all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small: love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. 1 Quand je me tourne vers le croix où Christ expire su le bois mon coeur blessé rempli du deuil, prend en dégoût mon fol orgueil. 2 Qui donc pourrait calmer ce coeur hormis la crois de mon Sauveur? Tous mes plaisirs, mes vains désirs, je veux, ô Christ, te les offrir. 3 Oh vois, des mains, de son côté, du front d'épines couronné, douleur, angoisse, amour mêlés, descendre pour nous racheter. 4 Si je t'offrais le monde entier ce don serait pris es pitié. Amour si grand, si pur, si doux veut âme, corps, mon coeur, mon tout! Used With Tune: COMMUNION (ROCKINGHAM)

Fields are white and harvests waiting; who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth; rich reward he offers free; who will answer gladly, saying, "Here am I; my Lord, send me"? 2 If you cannot be the watchman standing high on Zion's wall, pointing out the path to heaven; off'ring life and peace to all, if you cannot speak like angels, if you cannot preach like Paul, your can tell the love of Jesus, you can say, "He died for all." 3 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," while a human soul is dying, and the Master calls for you; take the task he gives you gladly; let his work your pleasure be; answer quickly when he calleth, "Here am I; my Lord, send me."
