And dangers and sorrows are strewn on the track;

May compass our journey, we cheerfully sing:
"Press onward, look upward," thro' much tribulation;
The children of Zion must follow their King.

With spirits as fresh as the dew on the sod;
We turn from the world with its smiles and its scorning,
To cast in our lot with the people of God:

We plead for His blessing and trust in His love;
And through the green pastures, beside the still waters,
He'll lead us at last to His kingdom above. Scripture: Psalm 23:2 Languages: English Tune Title: ASH GROVE

Thy Life Was Given for Me
Come unto me, ye weary
Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #361 (1899) Topics: Christ Call of Lyrics: 1 "Come unto me, ye weary,
And I will give you rest."
Oh, blessed voice of Jesus
Which comes to hearts opprest;
It tells of benediction,
Of pardon, grace, and peace,
Of joy that hath no ending,
Of love which cannot cease.
2 "Come unto me, dear children,
And I will give you light."
Oh, loving voice of Jesus,
Which comes to cheer the night:
Our hearts were filled with sadness,
And we had lost our way,
But morning brings us gladness,
And songs the break of day.
3 "Come unto me, ye fainting,
And I will give you life."
Oh, peaceful voice of Jesus,
Which comes to end our strife;
The foe is stern and eager,
The fight is fierce and long;
But Thou hast made me mighty,
And stronger than the strong.
4 "And whosoever cometh
I will not cast Him out."
Oh, patient voice of Jesus,
Which drives away our doubt:
Which calls us,--very sinners,
Unworthy though we be
Of love so free and boundless,--
To come, dear Lord, to Thee.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BENTLEY
Come unto me, ye weary
Hark, my soul, it is the Lord
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Hymnal #224 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: The Life in Christ The Call of Christ Lyrics: 1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord!
'Tis thy Saviour, hear His word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee,
"Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me?
2 "I delivered thee when bound,
And, when bleeding, healed thy wound;
Sought thee wandering, set thee right,
Turned thy darkness into light.
3 "Can a woman's tender care
Cease toward the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee.
4 "Mine is an unchanging love,
Higher than the heights above,
Deeper than the depths beneath,
Free and faithful, strong as death."
5 Lord, it is my chief complaint
That my love is weak and faint;
Yet I love Thee, and adore:
O for grace to love Thee more!

Ye hear His summons blest:

And I will give you rest!"

Behold a Stranger at the Door
Author: Joseph Grigg, c. 1720-1768 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #207 (2006) Topics: Call of Christ; Christ Call of First Line: Behold a Stranger at the door! Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger at the door!
He gently knocks, has knocked before,
Has waited long, is waiting still:
You treat no other friend so ill.
2 O lovely attitude! He stands
With melting heart and laden hands:
O matchless kindness! and He shows
This matchless kindness to His foes.
3 But will He prove a friend indeed?
He will; the very friend you need;
The Friend of sinners--yea, 'tis He,
With garments dyed on Calvary.
4 Rise, touched with gratitude divine;
Turn out His enemy and thine,
That soul-destroying monster, sin,
And let the heavenly Stranger in.
Amen.

Art thou weary, art thou languid
Author: John M. Neale; St. Stephen Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #357 (1899) Topics: Christ Call of Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid,
Art thou sore distressed?

Be at rest."

And His side."

That His brow adorns?--
"Yea, a crown, in very surety;
But of thorns."
4 If I find Him, if I follow,
What His promise here?--
"Many a sorrow, many a labor,
Many a tear."
5 If I still hold closely to Him,
What has He at last?--
"Sorrow vanquished, labor ended,
Jordan passed."
6 If I ask Him to receive me,
Will He say me nay?--
"Not till earth, and not till heaven
Pass away."
7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling,
Is He sure to bless?--
"Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs,
Answer, Yes."

Art thou weary, art thou languid
Come unto me, when shadows darkly gather
Author: Catherine H. Esling Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #358 (1899) Topics: Christ Call of Lyrics: 1 Come unto me, when shadows darkly gather,
When the sad heart is weary and distrest.
Seeking for comfort from your heavenly Father,
Come unto me, and I will give you rest.
2 Large are the mansions in thy Father's dwelling,
Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim,
Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling,
Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn.
3 There, like an Eden blossoming in gladness,
Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely pressed:
Come unto me all ye who droop in sadness,
Come unto me, and I will give you rest.

Come, said Jesus' sacred voice
Author: Anna L. Barbauld Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #364 (1899) Topics: Christ Call of Lyrics: 1 Come, said Jesus' sacred voice,
Come, and make My paths your choice;
I will guide you to your home;
Weary pilgrim, hither come.
2 Thou who, houseless, sole, forlorn,
Long hast borne the proud world's scorn,
Long hast roamed the barren waste;
Weary pilgrim, hither haste.
3 Ye, by fiercer anguish torn,
Guilt, in strong remorse, who mourn,
Here repose your heavy care:
Conscience wounded who can bear?
4 Hither come, for here is found
Balm that flows for every wound;
Peace that ever shall endure;
Rest eternal, sacred, sure.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HORTON
