People of the living God

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 329 hymnals Lyrics: 1 People of the living God, I have sought the world around, Paths of sin and sorrow trod, Peace and comfort nowhere found, Now to you my spirit turns Turns, a fugitive unblest; Brethren, where your altar burns, O, receive me into rest! 2 Lonely I no longer roam, Like the cloud, the wind, the wave: Where you dwell shall be my home, Where you die shall be my grave; Mine the God whom you adore, Your Redeemer shall be mine; Earth can fill my soul no more, Every idol I resign. 3 Tell me not of gain or loss, Ease, enjoyment, pomp, and power, Welcome poverty and cross, Shame, reproach, affliction's hour. "Follow me!" I know thy voice! Jesus, Lord! thy steps I see; Now I take thy yoke by choice, Light thy burden now to me. Topics: The Church Zeal and Union Used With Tune: ONIDO

Come, and let us sweetly join

Author: Rev. Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 128 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come and let us sweetly join, Christ to praise in hymns divine; Give we all with one accord Glory to our common Lord; Hands and hearts and voices raise, Sing as in the ancient days; Antedate the joys above, Celebrate the feast of love. 2 Strive we in affection strive; Let the purer flame revive, Such as in the martyrs glowed, Dying champions for their God. We, like them, may live and love; Called we are their joys to prove, Saved, with them, from future wrath, Partners of like precious faith. 3 Sing we then in Jesus’ name, Now, as yesterday, the same; One in ev’ry time and place, Full for all of truth and grace. We, for Christ, our Master, stand, Lights in a benighted land; We our dying Lord confess, We are Jesus’ witnesses.

Holy Lamb, Who Thee Receive

Author: Anna S. Dober; John Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 82 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Holy Lamb, who Thee receive, Who in Thee begin to live, Day and night they cry to Thee, As Thou art, so let us be! Jesu, see my panting breast! See I pant in Thee to rest! Gladly would I now be clean, Cleanse me now from every sin. 2. Fix, O fix my wavering mind! To Thy cross my spirit bind; Earthly passions far remove, Swallow up my soul in love. Dust and ashes though we be, Full of sin and misery, Thine we are, Thou Son of God! Take the purchase of Thy blood! 3. Who in heart on Thee believes, He the atonement now receives, He with joy beholds Thy face, Triumphs in Thy pardoning grace. See, ye sinners, see the flame, Rising from the slaughtered Lamb, Marks the new, the living way, Leading to eternal day! 4. Jesus, when this light we see, All our soul’s athirst for Thee; When Thy quickening power we prove, All our heart dissolves in love. Boundless wisdom, power divine, Love unspeakable are Thine: Praise by all to Thee be giv’n, Sons of earth, and hosts of Heav’n!

Christ, from whom all blessings flow

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ, from whom all blessings flow, Pattern for thy saints below, Hear us, who thy nature share, Who thy mystic body are. Join us, in one spirit join, Let us still receive of thine; Still for more on thee we call, Thou who fillest all in all. 2 Move, and actuate, and guide, Divers gifts to each divide; Placed according to thy will, Let us all thy work fulfill; Never from our office move, Needful to each other prove, Let us daily growth receive, More and more in Jesus' live. 3 Sweetly may we all agree, Touched with tender sympathy; Kindly for each other care, Every member feel its share. Many are we now and one, We who Jesus have put on; Names, and sects, and parties fall: Thou, O Christ, art all in all. Topics: The Church Zeal and Union Used With Tune: ONIDO

Hail the day that sees Him rise

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 558 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that sees Him rise To His throne beyond the skies! Christ, the Lamb for sinners given, Enters now the highest heaven. There for Him high triumph waits; Lift your heads, eternal gates! Wide unfold the radiant scene; Take the King of Glory in. 2 Lo! the heaven its Lord receives, Yet He loves the earth He leaves; Though returning to His throne, Still He calls mankind His own. See, He lifts His hands above! See, He shows the prints of love! Hark, His gracious lips bestow Blessings on His Church below! 3 Still for us His death He pleads; Prevalent, He intercedes; Near Himself prepares our place, He the first-fruits of our race. Lord, though parted from our sight Far above the starry height, Grant our hearts may thither rise, Seeking Thee above the skies. Amen.
