O speak to reassure me, to hasten or control; O speak, and make me listen, thou guardian of my soul. 4 O Jesus, thou hast promised to all who follow thee, that where thou art in glory, there shall thy servant be; and,Jesus, I have promised to serve thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, my Master and my Friend.

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #116 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer, and my Lord! I read my duty in Thy word: But in Thy life the law appears Drawn out in living characters. 2 Such was Thy truth, and such Thy zeal, Such def'rence to Thy Father’s will, Such love and meekness so divine, I would transcribe and make them mine. 3 Cold mountains and the midnight air Witness'd the fervor of Thy prayer; The desert Thy temptations knew, Thy conflict and Thy vict'ry too! 4 Be Thou my pattern; make me bear More of Thy gracious image here; Then God the Judge shall own my name Among the followers of the Lamb.

Oh, the pangs His soul sustain'd! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at His feet, Mark that miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete: "It is finished!" hear Him cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid His breathless clay-- All is solitude and gloom-- Who hath taken Him away? Christ is risen; He meets our eyes! Saviour, teach us so to rise. Languages: English

Great Shepherd of Thy sheep

And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His Name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flow'ry beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed thro' bloody seas? 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 thine armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.
