Mark 10:38

• [Mar 10:38] Are Ye Able?

  “Are ye able,” said the Master, “To be crucified with Me?” “Yea,” the sturdy dreamers answered, “To the death we follow Thee.” Refrain Lord, we are able. Our spirits are Thine. Remold them, make us, like Thee, divine. Thy guiding radiance above us shall be A beacon to God, to love and loyalty. Are you able to relinquish Purple dreams of power and fame, To go down into the Garden, Or to die a death of shame? Refrain Are ye able, when the anguish Racks your mind and heart with pain, To forgive the souls who wrong you, Who would make your striving vain? Refrain Are ye able to remember, When a thief lifts up his eyes, That his pardoned soul is worthy Of a place in paradise? Refrain Are ye able when the shadows Close around you with the sod, To believe that spirit triumphs, To commend your soul to God? Refrain Are ye able? Still the Master Whispers down eternity, And heroic spirits answer, Now as then in Galilee. Refrain

Mark 13:7

• [Mar 13:7] O Lord Of Hosts, Who Didst Upraise

  O Lord of hosts, who didst upraise Strong captains to defend the right, In darker years and sterner days, And armèdst Israel for the fight; Thou madest Joshua true and strong, And David framed the battle song. And we must we battle yet? Must we, Who bear the tender Name divine, Still barter life for victory, Still glory in the crimson sign? The Crucified between us stands, And lifts on high His wounded hands. Lord, we are weak and willful yet, The fault is in our clouded eyes; But Thou, through anguish and regret, Dost make Thy faithless children wise; Through wrong, through hate, Thou dost approve The far off victories of love. And so, from out the heart of strife, Diviner echoes peal and thrill, The scorned delights, the lavished life, The pain that serves a nation’s will: Thy comfort stills the mourner’s cries, And love is crowned by sacrifice. As rains that weep the clouds away, As winds that leave a calm in heaven, So let the slayer cease to slay; The passion healed, the wrath forgiven, Draw nearer, bid the tumult cease, Redeemer, Savior, Prince of Peace!

Mark 13:35

• [Mar 13:35] Christ Returneth

  It may be at morn, when the day is awaking, When sunlight through darkness and shadow is breaking That Jesus will come in the fullness of glory To receive from the world “His own.” Refrain O Lord Jesus, how long, how long Ere we shout the glad song, Christ returneth! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amen. Hallelujah! Amen. It may be at midday, it may be at twilight, It may be, perchance, that the blackness of midnight Will burst into light in the blaze of His glory, When Jesus receives “His own.” Refrain While its hosts cry Hosanna, from heaven descending, With glorified saints and the angels attending, With grace on His brow, like a halo of glory, Will Jesus receive “His own.” Refrain Oh, joy! oh, delight! should we go without dying, No sickness, no sadness, no dread and no crying. Caught up through the clouds with our Lord into glory, When Jesus receives “His own.” Refrain

• [Mar 13:35] I Know Not The Hour

  I know not the hour when my Lord will come To take me away to His own dear home; But I know that His presence will lighten the gloom, And that will be glory for me. And that will be glory for me, Oh, that will be glory for me! But I know that His presence will lighten the gloom, And that will be glory for me. I know not the song that the angels sing, I know not the sound of the harps’ glad ring; But I know there’ll be mention of Jesus our King, And that will be music for me. And that will be music for me, Oh, that will be music for me! But I know there’ll be mention of Jesus our King, And that will be music for me. I know not the form of my mansion fair, I know not the name that I then shall bear; But I know that my Savior will welcome me there, And that will be Heaven for me. And that will be Heaven for me, Oh, that will be Heaven for me. But I know that my Savior will welcome me there, And that will be Heaven for me.

• [Mar 13:35] O Why Not Tonight?

  O do not let the Word depart, And close thine eyes against the light; Poor sinner, harden not your heart, Be saved, O tonight. Refrain O why not tonight? O why not tonight? Wilt thou be saved? Then why not tonight? Tomorrow’s sun may never rise To bless thy long deluded sight; This is the time, O then be wise, Be saved, O tonight. Refrain Our Lord in pity lingers still, And wilt thou thus His love requite? Renounce at once thy stubborn will, Be saved, O tonight. Refrain Our blessèd Lord refuses none Who would to Him their souls unite; Believe on Him, the work is done, Be saved, O tonight. Refrain Oh, do not let thy Lord depart, And close thine eyes against the light; Poor sinner, harden not thy heart; Thou wouldst be saved—why not tonight? Thou wouldst be saved—why not tonight? Tomorrow’s sun may never rise To bless thy long-deluded sight; This is the time!—oh, then, be wise! Thou wouldst be saved—why not tonight? Thou wouldst be saved—why not tonight? Our God in pity lingers still; Oh, wilt thou thus His love requite? Renounce at length thy stubborn will,— Thou wouldst be saved—why not tonight? Thou wouldst be saved—why not tonight? Our blessèd Lord refuses none Who would to Him their souls unite; Then be the work of grace begun: Thou wouldst be saved—why not tonight? Thou wouldst be saved—why not tonight?
