I Serve a Risen Savior
Man's mortality, and Christ's eternity; or, Saints die, but Christ and the Church lives
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #178 (1786) Topics: Saints die but, Christ lives; Saints die but, Christ lives First Line: It is the Lord our Saviour's hand Lyrics: 1 It is the Lord our Saviour's hand
Weakens our strength amidst the race;
Disease and death at his command
Arrest us, and cut short our days.
2 Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray,
Nor let our sun go down at noon;
Thy years are one eternal day,
And must thy children die so soon?
3 Yet in the midst of death and grief
This thought our sorrow should assuage;
"Our Father and our Saviour live;
"Christ is the same through every age."
4 'Twas he this earth's foundation laid;
Heaven is the building of his hand;
This earth grows old, these heavens shall fade;
And all be chang'd at his command.
5 The starry curtains of the sky,
Like garments, shall be laid aside;
But still thy throne stands firm on high,
Thy church forever must abide.
6 Before thy face thy church shall live;
And on thy throne thy children reign;
This dying world shall they survive,
And the dead saints be rais'd again. Scripture: Psalm 102:23-28 Languages: English

Lives the bands of death to sever.

And, His kingdom still remaining,
I shall also be with Him,
Ever living, ever reigning.
God has promised: be it must;
Jesus is my Hope and Trust.

Naught from Him my heart can sever,
Life nor death nor powers of hell,
Joy nor grief hence forth forever.
None of all His saints is lost;
Jesus is my Hope and Trust.

But my entrance into glory.
Courage then, my soul, for thou
Hast a crown of life before thee;
Thou shalt find thy hopes were just;
Jesus is the Christian's Trust.

A prayer of the afflicted
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #176 (1786) Topics: Saints die but, Christ lives; Saints die but, Christ lives First Line: Hear me, O God, nor hide thy face Lyrics: 1 Hear me, O God, nor hide thy face,
But answer, lest I die;
Hast thou not built a throne of grace,
To hear when sinners cry?
2 My days are wasted like the smoke
Dissolving in the air;
My strength is dry'd, my heart is broke,
And sinking in dispair.
3 My spirits flag like withering grass
Burnt with excessive heat:
In secret groans my minutes pass,
And I forget to eat.
4 As on some lonely building’s top,
The sparrow tells her moan,
Far from the tents of joy and hope
I sit and grieve alone.
5 My soul is like a wilderness
Where beasts of midnight howl;
Where the sad raven finds her place,
And where the screaming owl.
6 Dark dismal thoughts and boding fears
Dwell in my troubled breast;
While sharp reproaches wound my ears,
Nor give my spirit rest.
7 My cup is mingled with my woes,
And tears are my repast;
My daily bread, like ashes grows
Unpleasant to my taste.
8 Sense can afford no real joy
To souls that feel thy frown;
Lord ’twas thy hand advanc'd me high
Thy hand hath cast me down.
9 My looks like wither'd leaves appear;
And life’s declining light
Grows faint as evening-shadows are,
That vanish into night.
10 But thou forever art the same,
O my eternal God;
Ages to come shall know thy name,
And spread thy works abroad.
11 Thou wilt arise, and show thy face,
Nor will my Lord delay,
Beyond th’ appointed hour of grace,
That long expected day.
12 He hears his saints, he knows their cry,
And by mysterious ways,
Redeems the prisoners, doom'd to die,
And fills their tongues with praise. Scripture: Psalm 102:20-21 Languages: English

We bear the strain of earthly care
Author: Rev. Ozora Stearns Davis Hymnal: The Hymnal #179 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Living Presence; Christ Presence, His Living Lyrics: 1 We bear the strain of earthly care,
But bear it not alone;
Beside us walks our Brother Christ
And makes our task His own.
2 Through din of market, whirl of wheels,
And thrust of driving trade,
We follow where the Master leads,
Serene and unafraid.
3 The common hopes that make us men
Were His in Galilee;
The tasks He gives are those He gave
Beside the restless sea.
4 Our brotherhood still rests in Him,
The Brother of us all,
And o'er the centuries still we hear
The Master's winsome call.

Thou savest those that on Thee call;
To them that seek Thee Thou art good,
To them that find Thee, All in All.
3 We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread,
And long to feast upon Thee still;
We drink of Thee, the Fountain Head,
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.
4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee,
Where'er our changeful lot is cast;
Glad when Thy gracious smile we see,
Blest when our faith can hold Thee fast.
5 O Jesus, ever with us stay!
Make all our moments calm and bright;
Chase the dark night of sin away,
Shed o'er the world Thy holy light!
Amen.

To yon eternal home of peace,
Where perfect love shall cast out fear,
And earth's vain toil and wandering cease:

Our heavenward path, O Lord, through Thee.

To Thee our earliest strength we vow,
Thy love will bless the pure and meek;
When dreams or mists beguile our sight,
Turn Thou our darkness into light.

To slake the thirst of those that faint,
Thy power to bless what seraph knows?
Thy joy supreme what words can paint?
In earth's last hour of fleeting breath
Be Thou our Conqueror over death.

And Thou, O Lord, art more than they.

But more of reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before.

"Come unto me and rest;

I found in him a resting-place,
And he has made me glad.

"Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down and drink, and live."

Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.

"I am this dark world's light;
Look unto me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright."

Till traveling days are done. Scripture: Matthew 11:29 Languages: English Tune Title: THIRD MODE

Not Only Acts of Evil Will
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Worship in Song #289 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Living Christ Lyrics: 1 Not only acts of evil will,
But bland routine and good intent,
Can hurt and harass, starve and kill
The outcast and the innocent.
In such a world, and in God's name,
We seek a gospel to proclaim.
2 Our normal, ordinary ways
Of doing business, getting more,
Entrap the poorest in a maze
Of hunger, debt, disease, and war.
In Christ we would make good our claim,
And find a gospel to proclaim.
3 The heart that's given to the Lord
Will pray and work to understand
The ills that sabotage the good
In trade and credit, wealth and land,
And will not turn aside its aim,
A smaller gospel to proclaim.
4 The beauty, bondage, joy and fear
of every billionth being born
are always in God’s eye and ear,
as near as breath, as sharp as thorn,
and we are born again to share
that fierce, impassioned, healing care.
5 And so, in Christ, we drink our fill
of daring, deep, determined love,
and practice to unite the skill
of wily snake and peaceful dove,
as, loving earth in Jesus’ name,
we live the gospel we proclaim. Tune Title: VATER UNSER

Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last!
2 Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, ah! leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me.
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
More than all in Thee I find:
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy Name;
I am all unrighteousness;
False and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound;
Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the Fountain art,
Freely let me take of Thee;
Spring Thou up within my heart.
Rise to all eternity.
Amen. Tune Title: MARTYN
