I Am Unworthy to Suffer
The Master's Touch
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Meter: 10.10 D Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: In the still air the music lies unheard Lyrics: 1. In the still air the music lies unheard;
In the rough marble beauty hides unseen.
To make the music and the beauty needs
The Master’s touch, the Sculptor’s chisel keen.
2. Great Master, touch us with Thy skillful hands;
Let not the music that is in us die;
Great Sculptor, hew and polish us, nor let
Hidden and lost, Thy form within us lie.
3. Spare not the stroke; do with us what Thou wilt;
Let there be naught unfinished, broken, marred;
Complete Thy purpose that we may become
Thy perfect image—Thou our God and Lord. Used With Tune: CONISBOROUGH
The Master's Touch
Others He Saved
Author: John C. Blissard, 1835-1904 Meter: 10.10 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: "Others He saved, Himself He could not save" Lyrics: 1 "Others He saved, Himself He could not save,"
So scoffed the priests, and upward rolled the wave
Of blasphemy against the dying Lord,
Until it broke upon the throne of God.
2 "Others He saved, Himself He did not save,"
So sighed the mourners round the Savior’s grave;
Their grief embittered by the mystery
Why He, who Lazarus raised, Himself need die.
3 "Others He saved, Himself He would not save,"
There rests the truth, His life for us He gave:
O ruined heart! thy Savior had to choose,
If He should die, or thou salvation lose. Used With Tune: CASTROVILLE
Others He Saved
There Is A Land
Author: Nettie H. Sweet Meter: 10.10 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: There is a land where dwellers sweetly rest Lyrics: 1 There is a land where dwellers sweetly rest,
Beyond the discord of earth’s stormy years;
Where heartaches never more shall vex the breast,
And God’s own hand shall wipe away all tears.
2 A better land where mortals reap in joy
The harvest sown in disappointment here;
Where love shall claim its own, nor fears annoy—
Where there is perfect love without a fear.
3 A joyous land, with music on the air,
Where angel voices swell the gladsome strain;
Bright gleams life’s river, softly flowing, fair;
There is no death in all that wide domain. Used With Tune: TOKAT Text Sources: The Golden Sheaf (Boston: Advent Christian Publication Society, 1902)

Sweet Easter day when praises rent the skies,
Shed o’er me, with thy rays of healing balm,
A heav’nly peace, a high and holy calm.
2 Sweet harbinger of joy and peace and love,
Glad ensign of a glorious life above,
Thy peaceful vigils in my life shall reign,
Banish all doubts and hallow grief and pain. Used With Tune: BUFFALO Text Sources: Bible Study Songs, by Bertha F. Vella and Daniel. B. Towner (Boston: The Pilgrim Press, 1899)

Nearer To Thee
Author: Mrs. A. P. Jervis Meter: 10.10 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: "Nearer, my God, to Thee," this is my prayer Lyrics: 1 "Nearer, my God, to Thee," this is my prayer;
Nearer Thy bleeding side, kept by Thy care;
Nearer, my God, to Thee, whate’er betide;
Nearer the saving cross, where Jesus died.
2 "Nearer, my God, to Thee," throughout each day;
Teach how to keep Thy laws, teach how to pray;
Jesus, dear risen Lord, this is my plea;
Draw me, by love divine, nearer to Thee.
3 Fill this poor heart with love, this tongue with praise;
So I may tell Thy power, through all my days;
Daily my will and choice, I would resign
Till all my life is lost, Savior, in Thine.
4 Then, when Heav’n’s glories burst all on my sight,
When I behold the Lamb who is the light,
Then from my raptured heart will burst my plea,
"Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee." Used With Tune: JUNGFRAU

Hail! festal days to endless ages known
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, c. 530-609; Theodore A. Lacey Meter: 10.10 with refrain Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: Hail! festal day, to endless ages known Lyrics:
Hail! festal day, to endless ages known,
When Christ, o'er death victorious, gained his throne.
Now with the Lord of new and heavenly birth,
His gifts return to grace the springing earth.
He reigns supreme, who died the death of shame;
And all created things adore his Name.
Fulfill thy promise, King of love, we pray!
The third morn brightens; rise, and come away.
No mouldering tomb shall hold thee in repose;
No stone the ransom of the world enclose.
Who holdest all things in thy hollowed hand,
No rocky barrier can before thee stand.
Cast off thy grave-clothes; let them there remain:
Come forth to us, our All, our only gain.
155
Creator, Fount of Life, thou knowest the grave;
And thence returning, thou art strong to save.
Light of the world, show us thy face once more,
The day that died with thee, today restore.
A countless people, from death's fetters free,
Own thee Redeemer, join and follow thee.
The shades of death are pierced, his laws undone,
And trembling chaos flees the rising sun.
Hail! festal day, to endless ages known,
When Christ, o'er death victorious, gained his throne.
Amen.
