Lord Jesus Christ! For love of Thee

Author: W. J. Mathams, 1853- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #610 (1917) Topics: Social Righteousness; Righteousness Social Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ! For love of Thee, And by Thy grace enduring, They fought of old the goodly fight, Our larger life ensuring; For Thee with soul of sacrifice Iniquity assailing, They did Thy work, they wrought Thy will, And left Thy cross prevailing. 2 Lord Jesus Christ! For love of Thee, With that same grace inspiring, We take Thy banner from their hands, To higher deeds aspiring; For Thee we front the force of sin, With faith and hope unfailing, Grant us our fathers' blessing still, To see Thy cross prevailing. 3 Lord Jesus Christ! For love of Thee, With that same grace sustaining, Behind us march our eager sons, Each tempting truce disdaining: For Thee with flashing eyes they move, Thy future glory hailing, O, let them win the golden dream, And see Thy cross prevailing.

It is stage by stage to the golden age

Author: Walter Hawkins, 1857- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #612 (1917) Topics: Social Righteousness; Righteousness Social First Line: The future belongs to the children Lyrics: 1 The future belongs to the children, Though much to the past we owe, Though much may be done in the present; We stay when the old people go. The vision God gave to our fathers Is coming to us in our turn; And at the first gleam of its splendor Our hearts are beginning to burn. Refrain: It is stage by stage to the golden age, To the golden age, It is stage by stage to the golden age, Far off we seem to view it; But the good we crave wilt come to the brave Who see God's will and do it. 2 Around us are wrongs and misdoings, And struggle, and suff'ring, and woe; The helpless are needing a champion, The tempted are pressed by the foe; And children are foully neglected, They even are thrust into sin; And the knights of the good Lord Jesus Have many a battle to win. [Refrain] 3 The promise belongs to the children, Saith One who is faithful and true A promise of welfare and blessing, Which God to the young doth renew: Its glimmer is cleaving the darkness; We know that the day is begun; And cloudland is tinged with the glory That tells of the might of the sun. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: GOLDEN AGE
