Must Jesus bear the cross alone
Author: T. Shepherd, 1665-1739; Bp. David Williams, 1859- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #299a (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism Lyrics: 1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for every one,
And there's a cross for me.
2 How happy now the saints of God,
Who once went sorrowing here;
They rest I joy, life's crown is theirs,
They know no pain nor tear.
3 They trod the path the Saviour trod,
They bore the cross He bore;
And none may look to wear the crown
Without the cross before.
4 Then help me, Lord, my cross to bear,
Till death shall set me free,
And so at last obtain my crown,
For there's a crown for me.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CROSS AND CROWN

To give away this bride,
As Eve Thou gav'st to Adam
Out of his own pierced side;

For love and faith's sweet sake,
For high mysterious union
Which nought on earth may break;

To join their loving hands,
As Thou didst bind two natures
In Thine eternal bands;
6 Be present, Holy Spirit,
To bless them as they kneel,
As Thou for Christ, the Bridegroom,
The heavenly spouse dost seal.

On mountain-tops above the hills,
And draw the wondering eyes.

All tribes and tongues, shall flow;
Up to the hill of God, they'll say
And to His house we'll go.

Shall lighten every land;
The King who reigns in Salem's towers
Shall all the world command.
4 Among the nations He shall judge;
His judgments truth shall guide;
His scepter shall protect the just
And quell the sinner's pride.
5 No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds
Disturb those peaceful years;
To ploughshares men shall beat their swords,
To pruning-hooks their spears.
6 No longer hosts, encountering hosts,
Shall crowds of slain deplore;
They'll hang the trumpet in the hall,
And study war no more.

To worship at His shrine,
And, walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MAGNUS

From the centre to the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies:
See Jehovah's banner furled,
Sheathed His sword: He speaks 'tis done,
And the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of His Son.

With illimitable sway;
He shall reign when, like a scroll,
Yonder heavens have passed away:
Then the end; beneath His rod,
Man's last enemy shall fall;

God in Christ, is all in all. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

When our eyes shall see the beauty
and the glory of the King:
Weary was our heart with waiting,
and the night-watch seemed so long,
But His triumph-day is breaking
and we hail it with a song.
2 In the fading of the starlight
we may see the coming morn;
And the lights of men are paling
in the splendours of the dawn:
For the eastern skies are glowing
as with light of hidden fire,
And the hearts of men are stirring
with the throbs of deep desire.
3 He is breaking down the barriers,
He is casting up the way;
He is calling for His angels
to build up the gates of day:
But His angels here are human,
not the shining hosts above;
For the drum-beats of His army
are the heart-beats of our love. Languages: English Tune Title: FALFIELD

With every morning sacrifice.

Dwell on His love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their young hosannas to His name.

The prisoner leaps to lose his chains;
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.

In Him the tribes of Adam boast
More blessings than their father lost.

Its grateful honours to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth prolong the joyful strain. Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET

That have held the world in sorrow;
And the broken heart shall forget its smart,
And shall hail a joyful morrow,
We fight with wrong, and our weapon strong
Is the love which hate shall banish;
And the chains shall fall from each ransomed thrall,
As the thrones of tyrants vanish. [Refrain]

Though unseen, is ever near us;
And the prayers that rise to the listening skies
Like a song of hope shall cheer us.
Till the sunrise broad of the day of God
Shall declare the victor's glory,
And the world shall rest in her Lord confessed,
And shall sing the finished story. [Refrain]
Amen.

Who follows in his train?

On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,

The matron and the maid,
Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heaven
Through peril, toil, and pain;

To follow in their train! Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW

A mighty fortress is our God
Author: Dr. F. H. Hedge, 1805-; Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #396a (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 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 power 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 Sabbaoth is His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us;
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through 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 powers
No thanks to them abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours,
Through Him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill;
God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is for ever.

Kindled by a spark of grace!
Jesus' love the nations fires,
Sets the kingdoms on a blaze;
To bring fire on earth He came,
Kindled in some hearts it is;
O that all might catch the flame,
All partake the glorious bliss!
2 When He first the work begun,
Small and feeble was His day;
Now the word doth swiftly run,
Now it wins its widening way;
More and more it spreads and grows,
Ever mighty to prevail,
Sin's strongholds it now o'erthrows,
Shakes the trembling gates of hell.
3 Sons of God, your Saviour praise!
He the door hath opened wide;
He hath given the word of grace,
Jesus' word is glorified;
Jesus, mighty to redeem,
He alone the work hath wrought;
Worthy is the work of Him,
Him who spake a world from nought.
4 Saw ye not the cloud arise,
Little as a human hand
Now it spreads along the skies,
Hangs o'er all the thirsty land;

Drops already from above;
But the Lord will shortly pour
All the Spirit of His love!

And all Thy love to me;
Yes, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember Thee.

And mind and memory flee,
When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me! Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE

All rule, authority, and power,
Beneath the ample sky;
When He shall reign from pole to pole,

Amid their daily cares,
And by the loving life He led
Shall seek to pattern theirs;
And He, who conquered death, shall win
The nobler conquest over sin. Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRINGEN
