Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
3 He came, our trembling souls to save
From sin, from sorrow, and the grave,
And chase our fears away;
Victorious over death and time,
To lead us to a happier clime,
Where reigns eternal day.
640 P. M.
To him be glory.
Rejoice, O earth! the Lord is King!
To him your humble tribute bring;
Let Jacob rise, and Zion sing,
And all the world with praises ring,
And give to Jesus glory!
2 O may the saints of every name
Unite to serve the bleeding Lamb!
May jars and discords cease to flame,
And all the Saviour’s love proclaim,
And give to Jesus glory!
3 We long to see the Christians join
In union sweet and love divine,
And glory through the churches shine,
And Gentiles crowding to the sign,
To give to Jesus glory!
4 O may the distant lands rejoice,
And sinners hear the Bridegroom’s voice,
While praise their happy tongues employs,
And all obtain immortal joys,
And give to Jesus glory!
5 Then tears shall all be wiped away,
And Christians never go astray;
When we are freed from cumbrous clay,
We’ll praise the Lord in endless day,
And give to Jesus glory.
641 C. M.
My sheep—follow me.
John 10:27.
To thee, my Shepherd and my Lord,
A grateful song I’ll raise;
O let the humblest of thy flock
Attempt to speak thy praise.
2 My life, my joy, my hope, I owe
To thine amazing love;
Ten thousand thousand comforts here,
And nobler bliss above.
3 To thee my trembling spirit flies,
With sin and grief oppressed;
Thy gentle voice dispels my fears,
And lulls my cares to rest.
4 Lead on, dear Shepherd!—led by thee,
No evil shall I fear;
Soon shall I reach thy fold above,
And praise thee better there.
642 P. M.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.
Rev. 5:12.
Rise, tune thy voice to sacred song,
Exert thy noblest powers;
Rise, mingle with the choral throng,
The Saviour’s praises to prolong,
Amid life’s fleeting hours.
2 O! hast thou felt the Saviour’s love,
That flame of heavenly birth!
Then let thy strains melodious prove,
With raptures soaring far above
The trifling toys of earth.
3 Hast found the pearl of price unknown
That cost a Saviour’s blood?
Heir of a bright celestial crown,
That sparkles near the eternal throne;
O sing the praise of God!
4 Sing of the Lamb that once was slain
That man might be forgiven;
Sing how he broke death’s bars in twain,
Ascending high in bliss to reign,
The God of earth and heaven.
643 C. M.
The Saviour died for me.
