Behold, the Master passeth by!

Author: Bp. W. W. How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Matthew Lyrics: 1 Behold, the Master passeth by! Oh, seest thou not His pleading eye? With low sad voice He calleth thee, "Leave this vain world, and follow Me." 2 O soul, bound down with harrowing care, Hast thou no thought for heaven to spare? From earthly toils lift up thine eye; Behold, the Master passeth by! 3 One heard Him calling long ago, And straightway left all things below, Counting his earthly gain as loss For Jesus and His blessèd cross. 4 That "follow Me" his faithful ear Seemed every day afresh to hear; Its echoes stirred his spirit still, And fired his hope, and nerved his will. 5 God gently calls us every day: Why should we then our bliss delay? He calls to heaven and endless light: Why should we love the dreary night? 6 Praise, Lord, to Thee, for Matthew's call, At which he rose and left his all: Thou, Lord, e'en now art calling me; I will leave all, and follow Thee. Amen. Used With Tune: [Behold, the Master passeth by]

Lo! what a cloud of witnesses

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 63 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a cloud of witnesses Encompass us around! Men once like us with suffering tried, But now with glory crowned. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, Strive in the Christian race; And, freed from every weight of sin, Their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a Witness nobler still, Who trod affliction's path; Jesus, the author, finisher, Rewarder of our faith. 4 He, for the joy before him set, And moved by pitying love, Endured the cross, despised the shame, And now he reigns above. 5 Thither, forgetting things behind, Press we to God's right hand; There, with the Saviour and his saints, Triumphantly to stand.

For you in healing streams it rolls; Money ye need not bring, nor price, Ye laboring, burdened, sin-sick souls. 4 Nothing ye in exchange shall give, Leave all you have and are behind; Frankly the gift of God receive, Pardon and peace in Jesus find.

Author: Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 926 hymnals Topics: Epiphany (feast) First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning, dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid: gem of the East, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining, low lies his head with the beasts of the stall; angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion odours of Edom and offerings divine, gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, myrrh from the forest and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, vainly with gifts would his favour secure; richer by far is the heart’s adoration, dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning, dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; gem of the East, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
