Jesus Calls Us
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 955 hymnals Topics: Proper 10 Year C First Line: Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us, o'er the tumult
of our life's wild restless sea,
day by day his clear voice sounding,
saying, "Christian, follow me."
2 Long ago apostles heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred,
leaving all for Jesus' sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world's golden store,
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, "Christian, love me more."
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."
5 Jesus calls us: by your mercies,
Saviour, may we hear your call,
give our hearts to your obedience,
serve and love you best of all. Used With Tune: GALILEE

Fairest Lord Jesus
Meter: 5.6.8.5.5.8 Appears in 593 hymnals Topics: Proper 10 Year A First Line: Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature Lyrics: 1 Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature,
O thou of God to earth come down:
thee will I cherish, thee will I honour,
thou my soul's glory, joy, and crown.
2 Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands,
robed in the blooming garb of spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
who makes the woeful heart to sing.
3 Fair is the sunshine, Fairer still the moonlight,
and fair the twinkling, starry host;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
than all the angels heaven can boast.
4 All fairest beauty heavenly and earthly,
wondrously, Jesus, is found in thee;
none can be nearer, fairer or dearer
than thou, my Saviour, art to me. Used With Tune: CRUSADERS' HYMN (SCHÖNSTER HERR JESU) Text Sources: German, 1677; trans. Church Chorals and Choir Studies, 1850, alt.

Forward through the Ages
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Appears in 84 hymnals Topics: Year B Proper 10 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 Wide grows God's dominion,
reign of love and peace;
for it we must labor, till all strivings cease.
Prophets have proclaimed it, teachers testified,
poets sung its glory, martyrs 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]

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John Ernest Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 632 hymnals Topics: Proper 10 Year A Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
remain for ever near me,
my Saviour and my friend:
I shall not fear the journey
if you are by my side,
not wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 O let me feel you near me:
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, then draw nearer
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
now speak, and make me listen,
O guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you,
that where you are in glory
your servant shall be too.
And, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end:
O give me grace to follow,
my Saviour and my friend. Used With Tune: DAY OF REST

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 915 hymnals Topics: Proper 10 Year B 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. Used With Tune: GOTT WILL'S MACHEN

wherein thy honour dwells;
the joy of thine abode
all earthly joy excels.
2 It is the house of prayer,
wherein thy servants meet;
and thou, O Lord, art there
thy chosen flock to greet.
3 We love the sacred font;
for there the holy Dove
to pour is ever wont
his blessing from above.
4 We love thine altar, Lord;
O what on earth so dear?
for there, in faith adored,
we find thy presence near.
5 We love the word of life,
the word that tells of peace,
of comfort in the strife,
and joys that never cease.
6 We love to sing below
for mercies freely giv'n;
but O, we long to know
the triumph-song of heaven.
7 Lord Jesus, give us grace
on earth to love thee more,
in heav'n to see thy face,
and with thy saints adore. Scripture: 1 John 1:1 Used With Tune: QUAM DILECTA
