HYMN COMMONS

1. A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify, A never dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky.

 2. To serve the present age, My calling to fulfill; O may it all my pow’rs engage To do my Master’s will!

3. Arm me with watchful care As in Thy sight to live, And now Thy servant, Lord, prepare A strict account to give.

4. Help me to watch and pray, And still on Thee reply, O let me not my trust betray, But press to realms on high.

Chorus: I’m a child of the King, A child of the King: With Jesus my Savior, I’m a child of the King.

2. My Father’s own Son, the Savior of men, Once wandered on earth as the poorest of them; But now He is reigning forever on high, And will give me a home in heav’n by and by.

2. Traveler, are you here a stranger, Not to fear the tempest’s power? I have not a thought of danger, Though the sky more darkly cloud.

4. Traveler far away a tiny portal, Opens to receive me with love, Yes, and I will be immortal, In that land without a storm.

1. A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing; Our helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe— His craft and pow’r are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal.

2. Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing, Were not the right man on our side, The man of God’s own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ, Jesus, it is He— Lord Sabaoth His name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle.

3. And tho this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph thru us. The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him— His rage we can endure, For lo, his doom is sure: One little word shall fell him.

4. That word above all earthly pow’rs, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Thru Him who with us sideth. Let good and kindred go, The mortal life also— The body they may kill; God’s truth abideth still: His kingdom is forever.

 4. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still if Thou abide with me!

5. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine thro’ the gloom, and point me to the skies. Heav’ns morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee! In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

2. I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th’unbroken song Of peace on earth good will to men.

3. And in despair I bowed my head: “There is no peace on earth,” I said, “For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth good will to men.”

4. Yet pealed the bells more loud and deep: “God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; the wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth good will to men.”

Chorus: I ought to love my Savior, My precious, precious, Savior I ought to love my Savior. He loves me well I know.

1. It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold: “Peace on the earth, goodwill to men From heav’n’s all gracious King!” The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing.

2. Still thru the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heav’nly music floats O’er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hov’ring wing, And ever o’er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing.

3. And ye, beneath life’s crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road And hear the angels sing.

4. For lo, the days are hast’ning on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold, When the new heav’n and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

4. And, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll, The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend, “Even so”— it is well with my soul.

Savior see me from above, Nor suffer me to die; Life and happiness and love, Drop from Thy gracious eye; Speak the reconciling Word, And let Thy mercy melt me down; Turn, and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone.

1. Is your life a channel of blessing? Is the love of God flowing thro’ you?… Are you telling the lost of the Savior? Are you ready His service to do?

Chorus: Make me a channel of blessing today, Make me a channel of blessing, I pray; My life possessing, My service blessing, Make me a channel of blessing today.

2. Is your life a channel of blessing? Are you burdened for those who are lost?… Have you urged upon those who are straying, The Savior who died on the cross?

3. Is your life a channel of blessing? Is it daily telling for you Him?… Have you spoken the word of salvation To those who are dying in sin?

2. Man the lifeboat! Man the lifeboat! Fog and night and cruel sea, All the odds of death against them, And eternal jeopardy. Thou who bidd’st us dare the surges, Stay us at the struggling oar! Nay! Go with us to the rescue! Shall they sink in sight of shore?

3. Man  the lifeboat! Man the lifeboat! Courage fellow men! ‘Tis He, Guiding us to your deliv’rance, Once that trod the Galilee! Lo, the Church that carrieth Jesus, Not death’s floodgates shall o’erwhelm; Scourging storms but urge us shoreward, Life and Love are at the helm!

2. My native country thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love: I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture thrills Like that above.

1. My Jesus as Thou wilt: O may Thy will be mine; Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign. Through sorrow or through joy, Conduct me as Thine own, And help me still to say, “My Lord, Thy will be done.”

2. My Jesus as Thou wilt: Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear. Since Thou on earth has wept, And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, “My Lord, Thy will be done.”

3. My Jesus as Thou wilt: All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee. Straight to my home above, I travel calmly on, And sing in life or death, “My Lord Thy will be done.”

1. O holy night! the stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth; Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn; Fall on your knees, Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night, when Christ was born! O night, O holy night, O night divine!

2. Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand; So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, Here came the wise men from Orient land.

Behold Your King, before Him lowly bend!

3. Truly He taught to love one another; His law is love and His gospel is peace; Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother, And in His name all oppression shall cease.

His pow’r and glory ever more proclaim!

4. It tells of One whose loving heart Can feel my deepest woe, Who in each sorrow bears a part That none can bear below.

1.  O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee to night.

2. What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinner’s gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior; ‘Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, Assist me with Thy grace.

1. O worship the King, all glorious above, And gratefully sing His wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.

2. O tell of His might, O sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space! His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

3. Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

4. Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail: Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend.

1. O, the deep, deep love of Jesus, Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free! Rolling as a mighty ocean In its fullness over me, Underneath me, all around me, Is the current of Thy love; Leading onward, leading homeward To my glorious rest above.

2. O, the deep, deep love of Jesus, Spread His praise from shore to shore! How He loveth, ever loveth, Changeth never, nevermore; How He watches o’er His loved ones, Died to call them all His own; How for them He intercedeth, Watcheth o’er them from the throne.

3. O, the deep, deep love of Jesus, Love of every love the best; ‘Tis an ocean vast of blessing, ‘Tis a haven sweet of rest, O the deep, deep love of Jesus, ‘Tis a heav’n of heav’n’s to me; And it lifts me up to glory, For it lifts me up to Thee.

4. When shall I reach that happy place, And be forever blest? When shall I see my Father’s face, And in His bosom rest?

1. One day when heaven was filled with His praises, One day when sin was as black as could be, Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin— Dwelt amongst men, my example is He!

Chorus: Living He loved me; dying He saved me; Buried He carried my sins far away; Rising, He justified freely forever: One day He’s coming— O glorious day!

2. One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain, One day they nailed Him to die on the tree; Suffering anguish, despised and rejected: Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He!

3. One day they left Him alone in the garden, One day He rested from suffering free; Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil; Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He!

4. One day the grave could conceal Him no longer, One day the stone rolled away from the door; Then He arose, over death He had conquered; Now is ascended, my Lord evermore!

5. One day the trumpet will sound for His coming, One day the skies with His glory will shine; Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing; Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!

1. The winter is over and gone at last; The days of rain and snow are past. Over the fields the flow’rs appear; It is the Songdove’s voice we hear.

3. A sepulcher sealed, a rock its door; But winter is gone and comes no more. seal is broken and now are seen Valleys and woods and gardens green. The singing of birds, A warbling band, ‘Mid flocks and herds, The song of all nature is heard in our land, The song of all nature is heard in our land.

4. And Christ is the song of ev’rything, For death is winter, and Christ is spring. Founthat warble in purling words, Hark, how they echo the song of birds.

1. When on the world’s first harvest day, The forest trees before the Lord Laid down their autumn offerings Of fruit in sunshine stored. The Maple only, of them all, Before the world’s great harvest King, With empty hands and silent stood— She had no offering to bring; For in the early summer time, While other trees laid by their hoard, The Maple winged her fruit with love, And sent it to the Lord.

2. There ran thro’ all the leafy wood, A murmur and a scornful smile, But silent still the Maple stood, And looked to God the while. And then, while fell on earth a hush, So great it seemed like death to be, From His white throne the mighty Lord Stooped down and kissed the Maple tree; At that swift kiss there sudden thrilled, In ev’ry nerve, thro’ ev’ry vein, An ecstasy of joy so great, It seemed akin to pain.

3. And there before the forest trees, Blushing and pale by turns she stood; In ev’ry leaf, now red and gold, She knew the kiss of God. And still, when comes the autumn time, And on the hill the harvest lies, Blushing the Maple tree recalls Her life’s once beautiful surprise; And still, when comes the autumn time, And on the hills the harvest lies, Blushing the Maple tree recalls Her beautiful surprise.

1. Oh! When will be ended our warfare with sin? The foe that assails us without and within: Tho’ fierce be the struggle, still let us endure, For when it is over the conquest is sure.

Chorus: Then gird on your armor, Gird on your armor, Follow your Leader and the battle you shall win, For your Captain’s gone before you, And He’ll lead you on to victory, Follow your Leader, Follow your Leader, Follow your Leader and the battle you shall win.

2. Our leader is Jesus our Captain and King; Who will all His army to victory bring. Tho’ now He is absent, we know not how near May be the glad moment when He will appear.

3. We look for His coming and think night and day, Of His parting order to watch and to pray, The sword and the Spirit we will grasp in hand, And like valiant soldiers make a desperate stand.

4. He daily watches our souls to ensnare, No weapon will daunt him but Faith, Truth and Prayer. With these we may conquer each foe that we meet, And lay down our trophies at our Leader’s feet.

1. The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the Word: From heav’n He came and sought her To be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died.

2. Elect from ev’ry nation, Yet one o’er all the earth, Her charter of salvation One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With ev’ry grace endued.

3. ‘Mid toil and tribulation And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation of peace forevermore; Till with the vision glorious, Her longing eyes are blessed, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest.

4. Yet she on earth hath union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee.

1. The dawn of God’s dear Sabbath Breaks o’er the earth again, As some sweet summer morning, After a night of pain. It comes as cooling showers To cheer a thirsty land, As shades of clustered palm trees ‘Mid weary wastes of sand.

2. Lord, we would bring our burden Of sinful thought and deed, In Thy pure presence kneeling From bondage to be freed; Our heart’s most bitter sorrow For all our work undone, So many talents wasted, So few true conquests won.

3. Yet still, Lord longsuffering, Still grant us in our need Here in Thy holy presence The saving name to plead; And on Thy day of blessings Within Thy temple walls, To foretaste the pure worship, Of Zion’s golden halls.

4. Until in joy and gladness We reach that home at last, When life’s short week of sorrow And sin and strife is past; When angel hands have gathered The first ripe fruit for Thee, O Father, Son, and Spirit, Most Holy Trinity.

1. The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad; The Passover of gladness, The Passover of God. From death to life eternal, From earth unto the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over With hymns of victory.

2. Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection light; And, list’ning to His accents, May hear, so calm and plain, His own “All hail!” and, hearing, May raise the victor strain.

3. Now let the heav’ns be joyful! Let earth her song begin! The world resound in triumph, And all that is therein; Let all things seen and unseen Their notes of gladness blend; For Christ the Lord hath risen, Our Joy that hath no end.

2. They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night.

3. And by the light of that same star Three wise men came from the country far; To seek for king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went.

4. This star drew nigh to the northwest O’er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay.

5. Then entered in those wisemen three, Full rev’rently upon their knee, And offered there in His presence Their gold, and myrrh and frankincense.

6. Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heav’nly Lord, That hath made heav’n and earth naught, And with His blood mankind hath bought.
