Lord, Speak to Me
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 466 hymnals Topics: God's voice (or call) First Line: Lord, speak to me, that I may speak Lyrics: 1 Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
In living echoes of thy tone;
As thou has sought, so let me seek
Thy erring children lost and lone.

The wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, Lord, that I may feed
Thy hungering ones with manna sweet.

The precious truths thou dost impart;
And wing my words, that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart. Used With Tune: CANONBURY Text Sources: Under the Surface, 1874

Forward Through the Ages
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer Appears in 84 hymnals Topics: God's voice (or call) Lyrics: 1 Forward through the ages, in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits at the call divine;
gifts in differing measure, hearts of one accord,
manifold the service, one the sure reward.
Refrain
Forward through the ages, in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits at the call divine.
2 Wider grows the vision, realm of love and light;
for it we must labor, till our faith is sight.
Prophets have proclaimed it, martyrs testified,
poets sung its glory, heroes for it died. [Refrain]
3 Not alone we conquer, not alone we fall;
in each loss or triumph lose or triumph all.
Bound by God’s far purpose in one living whole,
move we on together to the shining goal. [Refrain] Used With Tune: ST. GERTRUDE

The Voice of God Is Calling
Author: John Haynes Holmes Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: God's voice (or call) Lyrics: 1 The voice of God is calling
A summons unto all;
As once they heard in Zion,
So now we hear the call.
"Whom shall I send to succor
My people in their need?
Whom shall I send to loosen
The bonds of shame and greed?
2 "I hear my people crying
In cot and mine and slum;
No field or mart is silent,
No city street is dumb.
I see my people falling
In darkness and despair.
Whom shall I send to shatter
The fetters which they bear?"
3 We heed, O God, thy summons,
And answer: "Here are we!
Send us upon thine errand,
Let us thy servants be.
Our strength is dust and ashes,
Our years a passing hour;
But thou canst use our weakness
To magnify thy power.
4 "From ease and plenty save us;
From pride of place absolve;
Purge us of low desire;
Lift us to high resolve;
Take us, and make us holy;
Teach us thy will and way.
Speak, and, behold! we answer;
Command, and we obey!" Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD

Come to the Saviour now
Author: John M. Wigner Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 85 hymnals Topics: Voice of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Come to the Saviour now,
He gently calleth thee;
In true repentance bow,
Before Him bend the knee;
He waiteth to bestow
Salvation, peace, and love,
True joy on earth below,
A home in heaven above.
2 Come to the Saviour now,
Ye who have wandered far;
Renew your solemn vow,
For His by right you are;
Come, like poor wandering sheep
Returning to His fold;
His arm will safely keep,
His love will ne'er grow cold.
3 Come to the Saviour, all,
Whate'er your burdens be;
Hear now His loving call,
"Cast all your care on Me."
Come, and for every grief
In Jesus you will find
A sure and safe relief,
A loving Friend and kind.
Amen. Used With Tune: INVITATION
Come to the Saviour now
On the Cross
Author: Anon. Appears in 111 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Male Voices First Line: Behold, behold the Lamb of God Lyrics: 1 Behold, behold the Lamb of God,
On the cross, on the cross;
For you He shed His precious blood,
On the cross, on the cross;
O hear His agonizing cry,
"Eloi, lama, sabachthani,"
Draw near, and see your Saviour die,
On the cross, on the cross.
2 Behold His arms extended wide,
On the cross, on the cross;
Behold His bleeding hands and side,
On the cross, on the cross;
The sun withholds his rays of light,
The heav'ns are clothed in shades of night.
While Jesus doth for sinners fight,
On the cross, on the cross.
3 And now the mighty deed is done,
On the cross, on the cross;
The battle fought, the vict'ry won,
On the cross, on the cross;
"'Tis finished," now the Saviour cries;
To heav'n He turns His languid eyes;
Then bows His sacred head, and dies,
On the cross, on the cross.
4 Where e'er I go, I'll tell the story
Of the cross, of the cross;
In nothing else my soul shall glory,
Save the cross, save the cross;
And this my constant theme shall be,
Thro' time and in eternity,
That Jesus shed His blood for me,
On the cross, on the cross. Used With Tune: [Behold, behold the Lamb of God]
On the Cross

Heavy hearted and sad do you roam?
There's a sweet gentle voice calling now to you--
Wand-ring child, wand'ring child, O come home.

Child, come home, child come home,
Wand'ring child, why longer roam?

Wand'ring child, why longer roam?
'Tis thy Father entreats--
Wand'ring child, O come home.

Are you tossed on its billows and foam?
There's a safe harbor home, waiting now for you--
Wand-ring child, wand'ring child, O come home. [Chorus]

As He bids you no longer to roam,
To that dear Father's house haste without delay--
Wand-ring child, wand'ring child, O come home. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Have you wandered away from your Father's care]
Wandering Child, O Come Home.
