Isaiah 43:10

• [Isa 43:10] God’s Trumpet Wakes The Slumbering World

  God’s trumpet wakes the slumbering world; Now each man to his post! The red cross banner is unfurled; Who joins the glorious host? Who joins the glorious host? He who, in fealty to the truth, Not counting all the cost, Doth consecrate his generous youth, He joins the noble host, he joins the noble host. He who, no anger on his tongue, Nor any idle boast, Bears steadfast witness ’gainst the wrong, He joins the sacred host, He joins the sacred host. He who, with calm, undaunted will, Ne’er counts the battle lost, But, though defeated, battles still, He joins the faithful host, he joins the faithful host. He who is ready for the cross, The cause despised loves most, And shuns not pain, nor shame, nor loss, He joins the martyr host, He joins the martyr host. God’s trumpet wakes the slumbering world; Now each man to his post! The red cross banner is unfurled; We join the glorious host, we join the glorious host.

Isaiah 53:7

• [Isa 53:7] A Lamb Goes Uncomplaining Forth

  A Lamb goes uncomplaining forth, The guilt of all men bearing; And laden with the sins of earth, None else the burden sharing! Goes patient on, grow weak and faint, To slaughter led without complaint, That spotless life to offer; Bears shame and stripes, and wounds and death, Anguish and mockery, and saith, “Willing all this I suffer.” This Lamb is Christ, the soul’s great Friend, The Lamb of God, our Savior; Him God the Father chose to send To gain for us His favor. “Go forth, My Son,” the Father saith, “And free men from the fear of death, From guilt and condemnation. The wrath and stripes are hard to bear, But by Thy Passion men shall share The fruit of Thy salvation.” “Yea, Father, yea, most willingly I’ll bear what Thou commandest; My will conforms to Thy decree, I do what Thou demandest.” O wondrous Love, what hast Thou done! The Father offers up His Son! The Son, content, descendeth! O Love, how strong Thou art to save! Thou beddest Him within the grave Whose word the mountains rendeth. From morn till eve my theme shall be Thy mercy’s wondrous measure; To sacrifice myself for Thee Shall be my aim and pleasure. My stream of life shall ever be A current flowing ceaselessly, Thy constant praise outpouring. I’ll treasure in my memory, O Lord, all Thou hast done for me, Thy gracious love adoring. Of death I am no more afraid, New life from Thee is flowing; Thy cross affords me cooling shade When noonday’s sun is glowing. When by my grief I am oppressed, On Thee my weary soul shall rest Serenely as on pillows. Thou art my Anchor when by woe My bark is driven to and fro On trouble’s surging billows. And when Thy glory I shall see And taste Thy kingdom’s pleasure, Thy blood my royal robe shall be, My joy beyond all measure. When I appear before Thy throne, Thy righteousness shall be my crown— With these I need not hide me. And there, in garments richly wrought As Thine own bride, I shall be brought To stand in joy beside Thee.

Isaiah 58:8

• [Isa 58:8] Send Out The Sunlight

  Send out the sunlight, the sunlight of cheer Shine on earth’s sadness till it disappear— Souls are in waiting this message to hear, Send out the sunlight of love. Refrain Send out the sunlight of love, Send out the sunlight of love, Send out the sunlight, Send out the sunlight, Send out the sunlight of love. Send out the sunlight in letter and word; Speak it and think it till hearts are all stirred— Hearts that are hungry for prayers still unheard, Send out the sunlight of love. Refrain Send out the sunlight each hour and each day, Crown all the years with its luminous ray, Nourish the seeds that are sown on the way, Send out the sunlight of love. Refrain Send out the sunlight that speaks in a smile, Often it shortens the long, weary mile, Often the burden seems light for a while, Send out the sunlight of love. Refrain Send out the sunlight, as free as the air! Blessings will follow with none to compare. Blessings of peace, that will rise from despair! Send out the sunlight of love. Refrain Send out the sunlight, you have it in you! Clouds may obscure it just now from your view; Pray for its presence! Your prayer will come true, Send out the sunlight of love! Refrain
