Servant of God, Well Done

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 198 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Death and Life Eternal First Line: Servant of God, well done! Lyrics: 1 "Servant of God, well done! Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy master’s joy." 2 The voice at midnight came, He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame; He fell, but felt no fear. 3 His sword was in his hand, Still warm with recent fight, Ready that moment, at command, Through rock and steel to smite. 4 Bent on such glorious toils, The world to him was loss, Yet all his trophies, all his spoils, He hung upon the cross. 5 At midnight came the cry, "To meet thy God prepare!" He woke and caught his Captain's eye, Then strong in faith and prayer. 6 His spirit with a bound, Left its encumbering clay; His tent at sunrise on the ground, A darkened ruin lay. 7 The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease; And life’s long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. 8 Soldier of Christ, well done! Praise be thy new employ; And while eternal ages run Rest in thy Savior’s joy. Scripture: Matthew 25:34 Used With Tune: DOVER

Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heav'nly Friend thro' thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 2 Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake to guide the future as He has the past. Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake; all now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below. 3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, and all is darkened in the veil of tears, then shalt thou better know His love, His heart, who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay from His own fullness all He takes away. 4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'ning on when we shall be forever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

"The wondrous Cross"

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,059 hymnals Topics: Sufferings and Death First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord! that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 His dying crimson, like a robe, Spreads o'er his body on the tree; Then I am dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me. 5 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.
