John 13:13

• [Joh 13:13] O Lord And Master Of Us All

  O Lord and Master of us all, Whate’er our name or sign, We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call, We test our lives by Thine. Thou judgest us; Thy purity Doth all our lusts condemn; The love that draws us nearer Thee Is hot with wrath to them. Our thoughts lie open to Thy sight And naked to Thy glance Our secret sins are in the light Of Thy pure countenance. Yet weak and blinded though we be, Thou dost our service own; We bring our varying gifts to Thee, And Thou rejectest none. To Thee our full humanity, Its joys and pains belong; The wrong of man to man on Thee Inflicts a deeper wrong. Who hates, hates Thee; who loves, becomes Therein to Thee allied: All sweet accords of hearts and homes In Thee are multiplied. Apart from Thee all gain is loss, All labor vainly done; The solemn shadow of the cross Is better than the sun. Our Friend, our Brother, and our Lord, What may Thy service be? Nor name, nor form, nor ritual word, But simply following Thee. We faintly hear, we dimly see, In differing phrase we pray; But dim or clear, we own in Thee The Light, the Truth, the Way.

• [Joh 13:13] O Love! O Life!

  O Love! O Life! Our faith and sight Thy presence maketh one, As through transfigured clouds of white We trace the noonday sun. So, to our mortal eyes subdued, Flesh-veiled, but not concealed, We know in Thee the fatherhood And heart of God revealed. We faintly hear, we dimly see, In differing phrase we pray; But, dim or clear, we own in Thee The Light, the Truth, the Way! Our Friend, our Brother, and our Lord, What may Thy service be? Nor name, nor form, nor ritual word, But simply following Thee. Thy litanies, sweet offices Of love and gratitude; Thy sacramental liturgies, The joy of doing good.

John 14:8

• [Joh 14:8] Our Savior Will Descend Again

  Our Savior will descend again, Earth’s buried millions raising; With Him will come a glorious train, Adoring Him and praising. Refrain Raise high the song that loud and long Before Him ceaseth never, Till, casting down each golden crown, We worship Him forever. And though these bodies lie in dust Before that glad appearing, Yet shall they stand among the just, Our Savior’s image wearing. Refrain What, though earth’s gath’ring tempests lower, And ages pass in sadness? Yet we may see that glorious hour, And hail the dawn with gladness. Refrain Then, safe at last, this blessèd throng, Set free from tribulation, Shall ever praise in holy song, The God of their salvation. Refrain
