Author: H. Brueckner; C. H. von Bogatzky Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Means of Grace Missions Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit bold and daring, Bear witness as in days of long ago. The watchmen on the walls of Zion Embolden Thou to move against the foe. May they go forth to lands beyond the sea And bring the Gentile nations, Lord, to Thee. 2 O that Thy fire might soon be kindled, O that its flames to ev'ry land might leap! O Lord, send may faithful servants Thy harvest fields thro'out the world to reap. A harvest great presents itself to view, But they who reap the harvest are so few! 3 The prayer Thy Son Himself has taught us, We offer it to Thee at His command; Behold how ev'rywhere Thy children As suppliants, O Lord, before Thee stand, With yearning hearts to make this ardent plea; So hear us, Lord, and say, Thus shall it be! 4 Send hosts of men to preach the Gospel, In spirit strong, in perils unafraid; Make haste to help us in our weakness, And Satan's dark domain with might invade. The kingdoms of the earth for Thee reclaim, That ev'ry tongue may bless Thy holy name. Used With Tune: CRASSELIUS

I Hear in the Air

Author: Rev. Wm. Kuipers Meter: 11.11.11.11.8.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Means of Grace Gospel Invitation First Line: I hear in the air, 'neath the canopy blue Lyrics: 1. I hear in the air, 'neath the canopy blue, Sweet notes of a name, most resplendent and true; No name that is sweeter, more blessed for men. It heals all our wounds and restores us again. Know ye, know ye, whose Name that is? That Name is my Savior's, my hope and my bliss! 2. In truth our Redeemer this blest Name can bear, Of Jesus, the Savior, a Name bright and fair; So great was His love that He shed on the tree His own precious life-blood to set His own free. Know ye, know ye, our Savior-King, Who left Father's mansions redemption to bring? 3. One day all creation shall bow to our Lord; E'en now, 'mong the angels His Name is adored. May we at his coming, with glorified throng, Stand singing His praises in Heaven's great song: "Jesus, Jesus, Savior adored, Of all men and angels forever the Lord."

My Heart, Prepare To Give Account

Author: P. C. Paulsen; H. A. Brorson Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace Penitence Lyrics: 1 My heart, prepare to give account Of all thy sore transgression; To Him Who is all mercies' Fount Make thou a full confession. Recount what thou in all these years Of sin and guilt hast hoarded, And what in God's own book appears, With faithfulness recorded. 2 Soon will thy earthly course be run, No single day returning; But what thou good or ill hast done, Thy God is now discerning; When He to judgment calleth thee, Thou shalt with fear and trembling Thy sinful deeds in order see, No longer then dissembling. 3 Here thy conceit and ill desire Thou many times concealest; Thy evil lust, that burning fire, Thou nevermore revealest; Thou thinkest, This is hidden well, No soul shall ever know it. The day of judgment all shall tell, Its searching light will show it. 4 Remember, then, how swiftly went The years of grace He gave thee; What if today His call were sent, Without a chance to save thee! If thou hast still a few more days To be for death preparing, Then hasten to amend thy ways, By grace good fruitage bearing. 5 O bend thy knees, thy sins to take Before God's throne in heaven, And pray that grace for Jesus' sake To thee be freely given. Then by His power from above, By His own Holy Spirit, Thou shalt increase in faith and love, Till heaven thou inherit. Used With Tune: BERGGREN

He will in no wise cast you out. 3 Doth sin appear before your view Of scarlet or of crimson hue? If black as hell, why should you doubt? He will in no wise cast you out. 4 The publican and dying thief Applied to Christ and found relief; Nor need you entertain a doubt: He will in no wise cast you out. 5 Approach your God, make no delay; He waits to welcome you today; His mercy trust, nor longer doubt: He will in no wise cast you out.
