Christian Worship Active Piety. Servants of Christ, arise,And gird you for the toil;The dew of promise from the skiesAlready cheers the soil.

Urge, with a tender zeal,The erring child along,Where peaceful congregations kneel,And pious teachers throng. Be faith, […]

Christian Worship Influence Of The Gospel Like Rain. As showers on meadows newly mown,Jesus shall shed his blessings down;Crowned with whose life-infusing drops,Earth shall renew her blissful crops.

Christian Worship Reign Of Christ Isaiah 35 The radiant dawn of gospel light,The prophet saw in vision bright,And hailed th’ auspicious day,When Christ should all his grace discloseAnd cure the world of all its woes,By truth’s triumphant sway.

Christian Worship God, The Refuge Of The Afflicted. Affliction is a stormy deep,Where wave resounds to wave;Though o’er our heads the billows roll,We know the Lord can save.

What though yet no losses grieve you,Gay with health and many […]

Christian Worship Midnight. My God, I now from sleep awake;The sole possession of me take;From midnight terrors me secure,And guard my heart from thoughts impure.

I with your choir celestial join,In offering up a hymn divine;With […]

Christian Worship Christian Courage And Self-denial. Am I a soldier of the cross,A follower of the Lamb?And shall I fear to own his cause,Or blush to speak his name? Must I be carried to the skiesOn flowery beds of ease,While others fought to win the prize,And sailed through bloody seas? Sure I must fight, if […]

Christian Worship Commendatory Of Christian Union. Blest with unearthly bliss were theyWho saw the church’s infant day,And strove their Christian part to bear,By sign and spirit joined with her.
