Come, let us anew

Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: For Persons joined in Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Come, let us anew Our journey pursue, With vigour arise, And press to our permanent place in the skies: Of heavenly birth, Tho' wand'irng on earth, This is not our place, But strangers and pilgrims ourselves we confess. 2 At Jesus' call, We give up our All; And still we forego, For Jesus's sake, our enjoyment below: No longing we find For the country behind; But onward we move, And still we are seeking a country above. 3 A country of joy Without any alloy, We thither repair, Our heart and our treasure already are there. We march hand in hand To Immanuel's land; No matter what cheer We meet with on earth, for eternity's near! 4 The rougher our way, The shorter our stay; The tempests that rise Shall gloriously hurry our souls to the skies: The fiercer the blast, The sooner 'tis past; The troubles that come, Shall come to our rescue, and hasten us home.

Jesu, great Shepherd of the sheep

Appears in 136 hymnals Topics: For Persons joined in Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Jesu, great Shepherd of the sheep, To thee for help we fly: Thy little flock in safety keep! For O the wolf is nigh! 2 He comes, of hellish malice full, To scatter, tear, and slay: He seizes ev'ry straggling soul, As his own lawful prey. 3 Us into thy protection take, And gather with thy arm! Unless the fold we first forsake, The wolf can never harm. 4 We laugh to scorn his cruel pow'r, While by our Shepherd's side; The sheep he never can devour, Unless he first divide. 5 O do not suffer him to part The souls that here agree! But make us of one mind and heart, And keep us one in thee! 6 Together let us sweetly live! Together let us die! And each a starry crown receive, And reign above the sky.

Hast thou not receiv'd him now, That we might now receive? Art thou not the living Head? Life to all thy limbs impart: Shed thy love, thy Spirit shed, In ev'ry waiting heart. 3 Holy Ghost, the Comforter, The gift of Jesus, come: Glows our heart to find thee near, And swell to make thee room; Present with us thee we feel, Come, O come, and in us be!
