Fellow Christians, Let Us Gather

Author: C. K. Solberg Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Missions Lyrics: 1 Fellow Christians, let us gather Round the banner of the cross. We must win the unchurched millions, Lest they suffer endless loss. Multitudes are daily drifting Into ways of sin and shame; Christ Himself calls ev'ry Christian Straying sinners to reclaim. 2 We must hear and heed the challenge And the urgent call obey, Coming from our teeming cities, To regain without delay Wayward brethren, errant sisters, Groping in the night of sin; Jesus bids us go and seek them And compel them to come in. 3 As we view the unsaved masses, Who like sheep have gone astray, We must meet them with compassion Lest they perish by the way. In the heart of crowded cities Where the pow'rs of evil reign, We must carry on our mission Unsaved sinners to regain. 4 Let us not, like priest and Levite, Coldly pass the wretched by; What we preach, that let us practice, Lest our lives our lips deny; Let us be our brother's keeper, Prove our faith by works of love; Saved to serve, be this our watchword, Till we join the hosts above. 5 We beseech Thee, blessed Savior, Ev'ry Christian's heart control With an ever present passion For the unconverted soul. O baptize with Thy good Spirit Ev'ry member of Thy fold! Bless the labors of Thy servants As on Pentecost of old! Amen. Used With Tune: BEECHER

Holy Father, wilt Thou take me, Wilt Thou guard, protect me there? By the prayer that Jesus offered, By His cross, His blood, His love, Holy Father, in Thy keeping Take me to Thy realms above. Amen.

Do I among the chosen stand Whose lamps so brightly shine? O let me not lie down to rest Till this I know, my Savior blest, Till I can say, by grace restored: Thou know'st I love Thee, Lord! 3 And even if with tears it be, That this to Thee I say, Yet Thou in grace wilt look on me And wipe my tears away; Yea, when but Thou who all dost know, In me canst find Thy love below And own me Thine, then well is me,-- My all I have in Thee.

Beautiful Upon The Mountain

Author: H. Brueckner Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals The Ministry Lyrics: 1 Beautiful upon the mountain Are the feet of shepherds true, Who from out the living Fountain Grace dispense each day anew. Precious is the peace they offer In the Savior's own dear name, Who, for us His life to proffer, From His throne in heav'n He came. 2 Earthly chains must not enslave him Who would serve our gracious Lord; In the strength the Master gave him He must preach His holy Word, Gladly bearing pain and sorrow, Self-forgetful evermore. Hoping that a brighter morrow God has kept for him in store. 3 Let him speak to ev'ry nation Of the Savior's boundless love; Let him tell of God's salvation, Of the blissful home above. Let him comfort hearts that languish In the throes of sin and pain, That, relieved from all their anguish, Peace and rest they may obtain. 4 Be it told to sinners stricken With the fear of death and hell: Christ your fainting hearts will quicken And all mortal fears dispel. Be it told to those in prison, Chained by tho'ts of doubt and care: Christ, Who died, again is risen And with you His home will share. Used With Tune: ST. ASAPH Text Sources: From the French, 1830-1850

Kuhlman Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Processionals and Recessionals General First Line: Hark! the King of heav'n is calling Lyrics: 1 Hark! the King of heav'n is calling Laborers to do His work; Go, saith He, into My vineyard, Go at once, and do not shirk! In the morning hours He seeks you, When the dew is on the grass; Serve Him then with young endeavor, Ere the flush of youth shall pass. 2 Thro' the forenoon of their lifetime, Ev'ry day and ev'ry year, In His Church the Lord is calling, Calling those that will not hear. Noon and afternoon are passing, And the shadows grow apace, While so many still are standing Idle in the market place. 3 Swift the twilight is advancing, Bringing the eleventh hour; One more call, O men and women, Serve Him with your waning pow'r! Then at last the quiet evening And the sunset in the West, When the Master of the vineyard Calls the workers home to rest. Used With Tune: DEARHURST
