Father, Again in Jesus' Name We Meet

Author: Lucy E. Whitmore Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Father, again in Jesus’ name we meet, And bow in penitence beneath Your feet; Again to You our feeble voices raise, To sue for mercy, and to sing Your praise. 2. O we would bless You for Your ceaseless care, And all Your works from day to day declare; Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned? Does not Your arm encircle us around? 3. Alas, unworthy of Your boundless love, Too oft with careless feet from You we rove; But now, encouraged by Your voice, we come, Returning sinners to a Father’s home. 4. O by that name in whom all fulness dwells, O by that love which ev’ry love excels, O by that blood so freely shed for sin, Open blest mercy’s gate and take us in.

Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's commands

Author: Laura Scherer Copenhaver, 1868 - 1940 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's commands, Immortal tidings in your mortal hands, Pass on and carry swift the news ye bring: Make straight, make straight the highway of the King. 2 Through desert ways, dark fen, and deep morass, Through jungles, sluggish seas, and mountain pass, Build ye the road, and falter not, nor stay; Prepare across the earth the King's highway. A-men. 3 Where once the crooked trail in darkness wound Let marching feet and joyous song resound; Where burn the funeral pyres, and censers swing, Make straight, make straight the highway of the King. 4 Lord, give us faith and strength the road to build, To see the promise of the day fulfilled, When war shall be no more and strife shall cease Upon the highway of the Prince of Peace. Amen. Topics: Church Life and Work The Propagation of the Gospel Used With Tune: LONGWOOD

Thou art the Christian’s God, the only King and Chief Of all who soldiers of the cross would be. 2. Lord, I believe, in mercy grant me grace To know Thee, blessèd Savior, more and more; I can do naught without Thee; Jesus, show Thy face Unto Thy servant who would Thee adore. 3. Lord, I believe the hold of sin is strong, And stout its heart to pluck me from Thy love; But stronger is Thy grace; oh, strengthen and prolong The work of faith in me, my doubts remove. 4. Lord, I believe: help Thou mine unbelief; Be this my prayer though good report and ill; Only to Thee I cling; if long my day or brief, Master and Savior, I will trust Thee still!
