• [1Co 1:18] Sinners, Will You Scorn The Message

  Sinners, will you scorn the message Sent in mercy from above? Every sentence, O how tender! Every line is full of love: Listen to it, listen to it, Every line is full of love. Hear the heralds of the Gospel News from Zion’s King proclaim: “Pardon to each rebel sinner, Free forgiveness in His Name”: How important, how important, “Free forgiveness in His Name.” Tempted souls, they bring you succor; Fearful hearts, they quell your fears, And, with news of consolation, Chase away the falling tears: Tender heralds, tender heralds, Chase away the falling tears. False professors, groveling wordlings, Callous hearers of the Word, While the messengers address you, Take the warnings they afford; We entreat you, we entreat you, Take the warnings they afford. O ye angels, hovering round us, Waiting spirits, speed your way; Haste ye to the court of heaven, Tidings bear without delay, Rebel sinners, rebel sinners, Glad the message will obey.

  Blest be the dear uniting love, That will not let us part! Our bodies may far off remove, We still are one in heart. Joined in one spirit to our Head, Where He appoints we go; And still in Jesus’ footsteps tread, And show His praise below. O may we ever walk in Him, And nothing know beside; Nothing desire, nothing esteem, But Jesus crucified. Closer and closer let us cleave To His beloved embrace; Expect His fullness to receive And grace to answer grace. While thus we walk with Christ in light Who shall our souls disjoin, Souls, which Himself vouchsafes t’unite In fellowship divine! We all are one who Him receive, The same in mind and heart, Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place, Nor life, nor death can part. Partakers of the Savior’s grace, The same in mind and heart, Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place, Nor life, nor death can part. But let us hasten to the day Which shall our flesh restore, When death shall all be done away, And bodies part no more!

  Let the world their virtue boast, Their works of righteousness, I, a wretch undone and lost, Am freely saved by grace; Other title I disclaim; This, only this, is all my plea: I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me. I, like Gideon’s fleece, am found Unwatered still, and dry, While the dew on all around, Falls plenteous from the sky; Yet my Lord I cannot blame, The Savior’s grace for all is free: I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me. Surely He will lift me up, For I of Him have need; I cannot give up my hope, Though I am cold and dead; To bring fire on earth He came; O that it now might kindled be! I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me. Jesus, Thou for me hast died, And Thou in me wilt live; I shall feel Thy death applied, I shall Thy life receive; Yet, when melted in the flame Of love, this shall be all my plea: I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me.

  How great the wisdom, power and grace, Which in redemption shine! The heavenly host with joy confess The work is all divine. Before His feet they cast their crowns, Those crowns which Jesus gave, And, with ten thousand tongues, Proclaim His power to save.

• [1Co 2:9] For Those We Love Within The Veil

  For those we love within the veil, Who once were comrades of our way, We thank Thee, Lord; for they have won To cloudless day. And life for them is life indeed, The splendid goal of earth’s strait race; And where no shadows intervene They see Thy face. Not as we knew them any more, Toil worn, and sad with burdened care: Erect, clear eyed, upon their brows Thy Name they bear. Free from the fret of mortal years, And knowing now Thy perfect will, With quickened sense and heightened joy, They serve Thee still. O fuller, sweeter is that life, And larger, ampler is the air: Eye cannot see nor heart conceive The glory there; Nor know to what high purpose Thou Dost yet employ their ripened powers, Nor how at Thy behest they touch This life of ours. There are no tears within their eyes; With love they keep perpetual tryst; And praise and work and rest are one With Thee, O Christ.

• [1Co 2:9] How Sweet To Reflect On Those Joys

  How sweet to reflect on those joys that await me, In yon blissful region, the haven of rest, Where glorified spirits with welcome shall greet me, And lead me to mansions prepared for the blest; Encircled in light, and with glory enshrouded, My happiness perfect, my mind’s sky unclouded, I’ll bathe in the ocean of pleasure unbounded, And range with delight through the Eden of Love. When angelic legions with harps tuned celestial, Harmoniously join in the concert of praise, The saints, as they flock from the regions terrestrial, In loud hallelujahs their voices will raise; Then songs of the Lamb shall re-echo through Heaven, My soul will respond, “To Immanuel be given All glory, all honor, all might and dominion, Who brought us through grace to the Eden of Love.” Then hail blessèd state! Hail ye songsters of glory! Ye harpers of bliss, soon I’ll meet you above, And join your full choir in rehearsing the story— “Salvation from sorrow, through Jesus’ love.” Though prisoned on earth, yet by anticipation Already my soul feels a sweet pre-libation Of joys that await me when freed from probation; My heart’s now in Heaven, the Eden of Love.

• [1Co 2:9] In Heaven All Is Gladness

  In Heaven all is gladness— Here troubles press, and fears; Here often bowed and sighing, I eat “the bread of tears.” Here joy and sorrow mingle For Christ’s belovèd bride; But ’tis not so up yonder, For there doth joy abide. This world is not my homeland, In tents I pass my days; Tow’rd yonder shore of glory With yearnings eyes I gaze. While seeks the world its follies, I view yon citadel, Where, free from care and sorrow, Forever I shall dwell. Would I exchange conditions With one, whose all’s below? Nay, rather I’d be sowing Good seed, tho’ tears may flow. If at the close of journey I but in joy may reap, When worldlings’ joys are over, And they, too late, must weep. My hope for life eternal Rests on foundation sure; My cross I therefore gladly Will yet awhile endure. Soon there shall be no sorrow, No plaints, nor sighs for me, When, with uncovered vision, My Savior I shall see.

  I have a future all sublime, Beyond the realms of space and time, Where my Redeemer I shall see, And sorrow nevermore shall be. A precious heritage is mine; ’Tis kept above by love divine; And while I tarry here below, He gives me what is best, I know. O, God be praised, He planned for me; From anxious care I’m spared and free; He bids me cast on Him my care— What then remains for me to bear? Sweet peace within my soul doth dwell; With joy I sing: “Now all is well,” He leads me safely by His hand Until I reach the Glory Land. O precious Savior, teach Thou me To live my life more true to Thee The little while I yet must roam Before I reach my heav’nly home.

• [1Co 2:9] Not Half Has Ever Been Told

  I have read of a beautiful city, Far away in the kingdom of God; I have read how its walls are of jasper, How its streets are all golden and broad; In the midst of the street is life’s river, Clear as crystal and pure to behold; But not half of that city’s bright glory To mortals has ever been told. Refrain Not half has ever been told; Not half has ever been told; Not half of that city’s bright glory To mortals has ever been told. I have read of bright mansions in Heaven, Which the Savior has gone to prepare; And the saints who on earth have been faithful, Rest forever with Christ over there; There no sin ever enters, nor sorrow, The inhabitants never grow old; But not half of the wonderful story To mortals has ever been told. Refrain I have read of white robes for the righteous, Of bright crowns which the glorified wear, When our Father shall bid them, “Come, enter, And My glory eternally share”; How the righteous are evermore blessed As they walk through the streets of pure gold; But not half of the wonderful story To mortals has ever been told. Refrain I have read of a Christ so forgiving, That vile sinners may ask and receive Peace and pardon for every transgression, If when asking they only believe. I have read how He’ll guide and protect us, If for safety we enter His fold; But not half of His goodness and mercy To mortals has ever been told. Refrain

Do Thou, midst temptation and woe, For Heaven my spirit prepare; And shortly I also shall know And feel what it is to be there. Then o’er the bright fields we shall roam, In glory celestial and fair, With saints and with angels at home, And Jesus Himself will be there.

  God the Lord does ask us to do a task, Whether planting or watering seed. We are servants all of our God who has called Us to come to Him and believe. We all are God’s fellow workers; We’re His field where His seed does grow. God alone does know how to make things grow; Let none quarrel or be filled with pride. For the ones who sow and who water know That their purpose is unified. We all are God’s fellow workers; Each man’s labor will bring reward. By God’s gift of grace, a foundation’s placed And a building ere long does rise. But we each must take care how we build our share; It must rest upon Jesus Christ. For we are the Lord’s own building; Our foundation is Christ the Lord. If we build with gold that has worth untold Or with silver or costly stones, Then our work still will last when the judgment has passed; Its true character will be shown. The Day will reveal each building; Each man’s work will be tested by fire. If our work displays only wood, straw, hay, We will suffer great loss and shame. For though we will survive, we will win no prize; We’ll escape only as through flames. O Lord, may we build with wisdom, That our work may come forth as gold!

  The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord, She is His new creation By water and the Word. From heaven He came and sought her To be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her And for her life He died. She is from every 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 every grace endued. The Church shall never perish! Her dear Lord to defend, To guide, sustain, and cherish, Is with her to the end: Though there be those who hate her, And false sons in her pale, Against both foe or traitor She ever shall prevail. Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed: Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, “How long?” And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song! ’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 blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. Yet she on earth hath union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won, With all her sons and daughters Who, by the Master’s hand Led through the deathly waters, Repose in Eden land. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee: There, past the border mountains, Where in sweet vales the Bride With Thee by living fountains Forever shall abide!
