Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823 - 95 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #553 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea, Day by day his clear voice soundeth, Saying, 'Christian, follow me!' 2 As of St. Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home and toil and kindred, Leaving all for his dear 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.' A-men. 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 thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear thy call, Give our hearts to thine obedience, Serve and love thee best of all. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEE

A-men. 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vain world a friend to grace To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign-- Increase my courage, Lord-- I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783 - 1826 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #562 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain: His blood-red banner streams afar; Who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in his train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky And called on him to save; Like him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in his train? A-men. 3 A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW
