Matthew 2:23

• [Mat 2:23] Have Ye Been To Nazareth?

  Have ye been to Nazareth, Lowly, yet so fair? Yes, we sought His humble town, Found our Master there! Did He dwell in palace fair, Holding kingly sway? Nay, we found a Carpenter, Toiling day by day! Refrain In life’s Nazareth we seek, Christ, the Master meek, In our toil from day to day, Find our Lord for aye! Did ye find at Nazareth, Christ the Son of God? Yea, He was the Son of Man, Earthly paths He trod. Did ye find a blessing there Ever to abide? Yea, by Him the toilsome tasks E’er are glorified. Refrain Is there light from Nazareth, Daily life to crown? Yes, the glory streams afar, Distant years adown. Will the Lord of Nazareth, Friend and Comrade be? All unseen He dwells with us, As in Galilee! Refrain

Matthew 7:13-14

• [Mat 7:13] Broad Is The Road

  Broad is the road that leads to death, And thousands walk together there; But wisdom shows a narrower path, With here and there a traveler. “Deny thyself, and take thy cross,” Is the Redeemer’s great command; Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain this heav’nly land. The fearful soul that tires and faints, And walks the ways of God no more, Is but esteemed almost a saint, And makes his own destruction sure. Lord, let not all my hopes be vain Create my heart entirely new; Which hypocrites could ne’er attain, Which false apostates never knew.

• [Mat 7:13] O Brother, Life’s Journey Beginning

  O brother, life’s journey beginning, With courage and firmness arise! Look well to the course thou art choosing; Be earnest, be watchful, and wise! Remember—two paths are before thee, And both thy attention invite; But one leadeth on to destruction, The other to joy and delight. Refrain God help you to follow His banner, And serve Him wherever you go; And when you are tempted, my brother, God give you the grace to say “No!” O brother, yield not to the tempter, No matter what others may do; Stand firm in the strength of the Master, Be loyal, be faithful, and true! Each trial will make you the stronger, If you, in the name of the Lord, Fight manfully under your Leader, Obeying the voice of His Word. Refrain O brother, the Savior is calling! Beware of the danger of sin; Resist not the voice of the Spirit, That whispers so gently within. God calls you to enter His service— To live for Him here, day by day; And share by and by in the glory That never shall vanish away. Refrain

• [Mat 7:14] I’m Going Through

  Lord, I have started to walk in the light That shines on my pathway so clearly, so bright; I’ve bade the world and its follies adieu, And now with my Savior I mean to go through. Refrain I’m going through, I’m going through, I’ll pay the price, whatever others do; I’ll take the way with the Lord’s despisèd few; I’m going through, Jesus, I’m going through. Many once started to run in this race, But with our Redeemer they could not keep pace; Others accepted because it was new, But not very many seem bound to go through. Refrain Let me but follow my Lord all alone, And have for my pillow, like Jacob, a stone, Rather than vain worldly pleasures pursue, Than turn from this pathway and fail to go through. Refrain Come then, my comrades, and walk in this way That leads to the kingdom of unending day; Turn from your idols and join with the few, Start in with your Savior, and keep going through. Refrain

• [Mat 7:14] Lord, Thy Children Guide And Keep

  Lord, Thy children guide and keep, As with feeble steps they press On the pathway rough and steep Through the weary wilderness. Holy Jesus, day by day, Lead us in the narrow way. There are stony ways to tread; Give the strength we sorely lack. There are tangled paths to thread; Light us, lest we miss the track. Holy Jesus, day by day, Lead us in the narrow way. There are sandy wastes that lie Cold and sunless, vast and drear, Where the feeble faint and die; Grant us grace to persevere. Holy Jesus, day by day, Lead us in the narrow way. There are soft and flowery glades Decked with golden fruited trees, Sunny slopes and scented shades; Keep us, Lord, from slothful ease. Holy Jesus, day by day, Lead us in the narrow way. Upward still to purer heights! Onward yet to scenes more blest, Calmer regions, clearer lights, Till we reach the promised rests Holy Jesus, day by day, Lead us in the narrow way.

• [Mat 7:14] Strait Is The Gate To All That Come

  Strait is the gate to all that come, And narrow is the way, Which leads unto the heav’nly home, Where yet is room for thee, Where yet is room for thee. In Heav’n, where God His own shall take, There’s also room for thee. In Jesus’ Name, for Jesus’ sake, The gates shall opened be, The gates shall opened be. Where thousands stand arrayed in white, Whom God His own declared, There yet is room and life and light, By grace for thee prepared, By grace for thee prepared. In Jesus’ heart there’s room, I know, And in His Heav’n of bliss. He in His Gospel tells me so, Thanks be to God for this, Thanks be to God for this. Now God be praised, that even I May in that city dwell, Where peace shall reign eternally, And all with me be well, And all with me be well.

• [Mat 7:14] Wayside Cross, The

  “Which way shall I take?” shouts a voice in the night, “I’m a pilgrim awearied, and spent is my light; And I seek for a palace, that rests on the hill, But between us, a stream lieth sullen and chill.” Refrain Near, near thee, my son, is the old wayside cross, Like a gray friar cowled, in lichens and moss; And its crossbeam will point to the bright golden span, That bridges the waters so safely for man; That bridges the waters so safely for man. “Which way shall I take for the bright golden span That bridges the waters so safely for man? To the right? To the left? ah, me! if I knew— The night is so dark, and the passers so few.” Refrain “See the lights from the palace in silvery lines, How they pencil the hedges and fruit laden vines— My fortune! my all! for one tangled gleam That sifts thro’ the lilies, and wastes on the stream.” Refrain

Matthew 14:23

• [Mat 14:23] I Love To Steal Awhile Away

  I love to steal awhile away From every cumbering care, And spend the hours of closing day In humble, grateful, prayer. I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear, And all His promises to plead Where none but god can hear. I love to think on mercies past, And future good implore, And all my cares and sorrows cast On God, whom I adore. I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heaven; The prospect doth my strength renew, While here by tempests driven. Thus, when life’s toilsome day is o’er, May its departing ray, Be calm at this impressive hour, And lead to endless day.

Matthew 24:7

• [Mat 24:7] How Happy Are The Little Flock

  How happy are the little flock, Who, safe beneath their guardian Rock, In all commotions rest! When war’s and tumult’s waves run high, Removed above the storm they lie, They lodge in Jesus’ breast, They lodge in Jesus’ breast. Such happiness, O Lord, have we, By mercy gathered into Thee, Before the floods descend: And while the bursting clouds come down, We mark the vengeful day begun, And calmly wait the end, And calmly wait the end. The plague, and dearth, and din of war, Our Savior’s swift approach declare, And bid our hearts arise; Earth’s basis shook confirms our hope; Its cities’ fall but lifts us up, To meet Thee in the skies, To meet Thee in the skies. Thy tokens we with joy confess: The war proclaims the Prince of Peace, The earthquake speaks Thy power, The famine all Thy fullness brings, The plague presents Thy healing wings, And nature’s final hour, And nature’s final hour. Whatever ills the world befall, A pledge of endless good we call, A sign of Jesus near; His chariot will not long delay, We hear the rumbling wheels, and pray, Triumphant Lord, appear! Triumphant Lord, appear! Appear with clouds on Zion’s hill, Thy word and mystery to fulfill, Thy confessors to approve, Thy members on Thy throne to place, And stamp Thy name on every face, In glorious, heavenly love! In glorious, heavenly love!

Matthew 28:2

• [Mat 28:2] God Hath Sent His Angels

  God hath sent His angels to the earth again, Bringing joyful tidings to the sons of men; They who first at Christmas thronged the heavenly way, Now beside the tomb door sit on Easter day. Refrain Angels, sing His triumph as you sang His birth, “Christ the Lord is risen, peace, goodwill on earth!” In the dreadful desert, where the Lord was tried, There the faithful angels gathered at His side; And when, in the garden, grief and pain and care Bowed Him down with anguish, they were with Him there. Refrain Yet the Christ they honor is the same Christ still Who, in light and darkness, did His Father’s will; And the tomb, deserted, shineth like the sky, Since He passed from out it, into victory. Refrain God has still His angels, helping at His word, All His faithful children, like their faithful Lord; Soothing them in sorrow, arming them in strife, Opening wide the tomb doors, leading into life.
