Matthew 10:3

• [Mat 10:3] He Sat To Watch O’er Customs Paid

  He sat to watch o’er customs paid, A man of scorned and hard’ning trade; Alike the symbol and the tool Of foreign masters’ hated rule. But grace within his breast had stirred; There needed but the timely word; It came, true Lord of souls! from Thee, That royal summons, “Follow Me.” Enough, when Thou wert passing by To hear Thy voice, to meet Thine eye; He rose, responsive to the call, And left his task, his gains, his all. O wise exchange! with these to part And lay up treasure in Thy heart; With twofold crown of light to shine Amid Thy servants’ foremost line! Come, Savior, as in days of old; Pass where the world has strongest hold, And faithless care and selfish greed Are thorns that choke the holy seed. Who keep Thy gifts, O bid them claim The steward’s, not the owner’s name; Who yield all up for Thy dear sake, Let them of Matthew’s wealth partake.

Matthew 16:16

• [Mat 16:16] Spirit Of Faith, Come Down

  Spirit of faith, come down, reveal the things of God, And make to us the Godhead known, and witness with the blood. ’Tis Thine the blood to apply and give us eyes to see, Who did for every sinner die hath surely died for me. No man can truly say that Jesus is the Lord, Unless Thou take the veil away and breathe the living Word. Then, only then, we feel our interest in His blood, And cry with joy unspeakable, “Thou art my Lord, my God!” O that the world might know the all atoning Lamb! Spirit of faith, descend and show the virtue of His Name; The grace which all may find, the saving power, impart, And testify to all mankind, and speak in every heart. Inspire the living faith (which whosoever receive, The witness in themselves they have and consciously believe), The faith that conquers all, and doth the mountain move, And saves whoever on Jesus call, and perfects them in love.

• [Mat 16:16] Thou Art The Christ, O Lord

  “Thou art the Christ, O Lord, The Son of God most high!” For ever be adored That Name in earth and sky, In which, though mortal strength may fail, The saints of God at last prevail! Oh, surely he was blest With blessedness unpriced, Who, taught of God, confessed The Godhead in the Christ! For of Thy Church, Lord, Thou didst own Thy saint a true foundation stone. Thrice was he put to shame, Thrice did the dauntless fall; But, oh, that look that came From out the judgment hall! It pierced and broke the spell-bound heart, And foiled the tempter’s sifting art. Thrice fallen, thrice restored! The bitter lesson learnt, That heart for Thee, O Lord, With triple ardor burnt. The cross he took he laid not down, Until he grasped the martyr’s crown. Oh, bright triumphant faith! Oh, courage void of fears! Oh, love most strong in death! Oh, penitential tears! By these, Lord, keep us lest we fall, And make us go where Thou shalt call.
