Genesis 6:3

• [Gen 6:3] Hour-glass, The

  Alas! how swift the moments fly! How flash the years along! Scarce here, yet gone already by, The burden of a song. See childhood, youth, and manhood pass, And age, with furrowed brow; Time was—Time shall be—drain the glass— But where in Time is now? Time is the measure but of change; No present hour is found; The past, the future, fill the range Of Time’s unceasing round. Where, then is now? In realms above, With God’s atoning Lamb, In regions of eternal love, Where sits enthroned I AM. Then pilgrim, let thy joys and tears On Time no longer lean; But henceforth all thy hopes and fears From earth’s affections wean: To God let votive accents rise; With truth, with virtue, live; So all the bliss that Time denies Eternity shall give.

• [Gen 6:3] Sinner, Come To Jesus

  Oh, sinner, turn to Jesus now, No longer make delay; Since Jesus died on Calvary, And opened up the way. Refrain Oh won’t you come to Jesus, be saved today, He’s earnestly pleading for all; The time will come when ’twill be too late, Too late to answer the call. The invitation is to you, Oh, come without delay; While Jesus pleads so tenderly, Now won’t you come today? Refrain The Lord has been so good to you, And saved you from all harm; But still He says, “My Spirit shall Not always strive with man.” Refrain The time will come, when Christ will say, Your days on earth are o’er; When you are doomed and cast away, You’ll hear My voice no more.

• [Gen 6:3] Time, With An Unwearied Hand

  Time, with an unwearied hand, Pushes round the seasons past, And in life’s frail glass, the sand Sinks apace, not long to last: Many, well as you or I, Who last year assembled thus; In their silent graves now lie, Graves will open soon for us! Daily sin, and care, and strife, While the Lord prolongs our breath, Make it but a dying life, Or a kind of living death: Wretched they, and most forlorn, Who no better portion know; Better ne’er to have been born, Than to have our all below. When constrained to go alone, Leaving all you love behind; Entering on a world unknown, What will then support your mind? When the Lord His summons sends, Earthly comforts lose their power; Honors, riches, kindred, friends, Cannot cheer a dying hour. Happy souls who fear the Lord Time is not too swift for you; When your Savior gives the word, Glad you’ll bid the world adieu: Then He’ll wipe away your tears, Near Himself appoint your place; Swifter fly, ye rolling years, Lord, we long to see Thy face.

Genesis 15:1

• [Gen 15:1] O God, Thy Soldiers’ Crown And Guard

  O God, Thy soldiers’ crown and guard, And their exceeding great reward; From all transgressions set us free, Who sing Thy martyr’s victory. The pleasures of the world he spurned, From sin’s pernicious lures he turned; He knew their joys imbued with gall, And thus he reached Thy heavenly hall. For Thee through many a woe he ran, In many a fight he played the man; For Thee his blood he dared to pour, And thence hath joy forevermore. We therefore pray Thee, full of love, Regard us from Thy throne above; On this Thy martyr’s triumph day, Wash every stain of sin away. O Christ, most loving King, to Thee, With God the Father, glory be; Like glory, as is ever meet, To God the holy Paraclete.

Genesis 24:31

• [Gen 24:31] Welcome, One And All

  We are gathered today in our Sunday school, With our hearts full of grateful praise; We rejoice, we rejoice, as we hither come, That the Lord doth direct our ways. Refrain We would join in the song of welcome: Welcome one and all today! Let us strive with our might e’er to do the right, And to seek for the lambs astray. We would go forth with zeal in our Master’s Name, And would bring many wand’rers in; We would tell them of Christ, who from glory came, E’en to save them from death and sin. Refrain One and all with a will let us work today, To restore to the Lord His own; Leading souls to the bright and the shining way, Serving Jesus, and Him alone. Refrain

Genesis 24:56

• [Gen 24:56] In All My Lord’s Appointed Ways

  In all my Lord’s appointed ways My journey I’ll pursue; Hinder me not! ye much loved saints, For I must go with you. Through floods and flames, if Jesus lead, I’ll follow where He goes; Hinder me not! shall be my cry, Though earth and hell oppose. Through duty, and through trials too, I’ll go at His command; Hinder me not! for I am bound To my Immanuel’s land. And when my Savior calls me home, Still this my cry shall be, Hinder me not! come, welcome death; I’ll gladly go with Thee!

Genesis 31:49

• [Gen 31:49] Holy Father, In Thy Mercy

  Holy Father, in Thy mercy, Hear our anxious prayer. Keep our loved ones, now far distant, ’Neath Thy care. Jesus, Savior, let Thy presence Be their light and guide; Keep, oh, keep them, in their weakness, At Thy side. When in sorrow, when in danger, When in loneliness, In Thy love look down and comfort Their distress. May the joy of Thy salvation Be their strength and stay; May they love and may they praise Thee Day by day. Holy Spirit, let Thy teaching Sanctify their life; Send Thy grace, that they may conquer In the strife. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God the One in Three, Bless them, guide them, save them, keep them Near to Thee.
