Matthew 11:29
-
[Mat 11:29] Come Unto Me (peterson)
O weary one, weighed down by care,
Come unto Me and rest.
Cast all your burdens at My feet,
And you will be refreshed.
Come unto Me, come unto Me,
For I am meek in heart.
Take up My yoke and learn from Me,
And let your cares depart.Come claim My strength, you faint in heart
And you who have no might.
I am the everlasting God;
Through Me you can take flight.
Mount up, mount up on eagles’ wings,
Soar upward to the sky.
Draw from My reservoir of power,
A limitless supply.I am the Vine, you’re just a branch;
You must remain in Me.
Apart from Me you’ll bear no fruit;
Your life will empty be.
Remain in Me, remain in Me,
And I’ll remain in you.
By this will God be glorified;
You’ll be My follower true.And never tire of doing good;
Someday there’ll be reward.
For at the proper time you’ll reap
A harvest for your Lord.
So don’t give up, don’t e’er give up,
Do good to all mankind.
Especially love God’s family and
Eternal life you’ll find.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 11:29] God’s Glory Is A Wondrous Thing
God’s glory is a wondrous thing,
Most strange in all its ways;
And, of all things on earth, least like
What men agree to praise.Workman of God, O lose not heart,
But learn what God is like!
And, in the darkest battlefield,
Thou shalt know where to strike.O blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field when He
Is most invisible!Blest too is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie,
And dares to take the side that seems
Wrong to man’s blindfold eye.For right is right, since God is God;
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 11:29] Jesu, Meek And Lowly
Jesu, meek and lowly,
Savior, pure and holy,
On Thy love relying
Hear me humbly crying.Prince of life and power,
My salvation’s tower,
On the cross I view Thee
Calling sinners to Thee.There behold me gazing
At the sight amazing;
Bending low before Thee,
Helpless I adore Thee.By Thy red wounds streaming,
With Thy life blood gleaming,
Blood for sinners flowing
Pardon free bestowing;By that fount of blessing,
Thy dear love expressing,
All my aching sadness
Turn Thou into gladness.Lord, in mercy guide me,
Be Thou e’er beside me;
In Thy ways direct me;
’Neath Thy wings protect me.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Which our soul detains.Give us holy freedom,
Fill our hearts with love;
Draw us, holy Jesus,
To the realms above.Lead us on our journey,
Be Thyself the way
Through our earthly darkness
To the heavenly day.Jesus, meek and gentle,
Son of God most high,

[Mat 22:32] God Of The Living, In Whose Eyes
God of the living, in Whose eyes
Unveiled Thy whole creation lies,
All souls are Thine, we must not say
That those are dead who pass away;
From this our world of flesh set free,
We know them living unto Thee.Released from earthly toil and strife,
With Thee is hidden still their life;
Thine are their thoughts, their works, their powers,
All Thine, and yet most truly ours;
For well we know, where’er they be,
Our dead are living unto Thee.Not spilt like water on the ground,
Not wrapped in dreamless sleep profound,
Not wandering in unknown despair,
Beyond Thy voice, Thine Arm, Thy care;
Not left to lie like fallen tree—
Not dead, but living, unto Thee.Thy Word is true, Thy will is just;
To Thee we leave them, Lord, in trust;
And bless Thee for the love which gave
Thy Son to fill a human grave;
That none might fear that world to see
Where all are living unto Thee.O Breather into man of breath,
O Holder of the keys of death,
O Giver of the life within,
Save us from death, the death of sin,
That body, soul, and spirit be
Forever living unto Thee.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Whose dear forms you often miss;
When you close your earthly story,
Will you join them in their bliss?Refrain
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
In a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?In the joyous days of childhood,
Oft they told of wondrous love,
Pointed to the dying Savior
Now they dwell with Him above.Refrain
You remember songs of heaven
Which you sang with childish voice,
Do you love the hymns they taught you,
Or are songs of earth your choice?Refrain
You can picture happy gatherings
Round the fireside long ago,
And you think of tearful partings,
When they left you here below:Refrain
One by one their seats were emptied,
One by one they went away;
Here the circle has been broken—
Will it be complete one day?Refrain

Stilling every anxious fear.With us in the lonely valley,
When we cross the chilling stream;
Lighting up the steps to glory
With salvation’s radiant beam.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

We approach Thee for our dead;
Lead them, in the vale of fear,

Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.Child of Mary, who didst bear,
Mortal flesh, for man to die;
Child of sorrow, toil, and care,
Grant them rest eternally.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.Dweller in the vale of death,
Second Adam, source of life,
Wearer of the thorny wreath,
Victor in the deadly strife.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.Thou who didst let fall the tear
On the grave of Bethany;
Who at Nain did stay the bier
That lone mother’s tear to dry.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.Thou whose voice could wake the dead,
“Maid! I say to thee, arise!”
Who didst bow Thy dying hand
On the day of sacrifice.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.Thou who passedst through the gloom
Which enshrouds the vale of death,
Guide their footsteps through the tomb,
Shelter them Thine arms beneath.

Grant them mercy in that day.By Thy flesh with scourges torn,
By Thy suffering human soul,
By the crown of woven thorn,
By the mocking title-scroll.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.By the quiet rock-hewn cave,
Where Thy body slept so well,
When Thy Spirit, through the grave,
Entered to the realms of hell:
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.By Thy preaching of the Christ
To the souls in prison bound,
When was rolled away the mist
Which had hung their vision round.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.By the eternal sacrifice
Which Thou pleadest at the throne,
Only gift which can suffice,
For that gift is all Thine own.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.By the offering which we plead,
One with Thine in Heaven above,
By the Lamb whose five wounds bled,
To fill full our cup of love.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.In the fell and fearful day,
Day of fury and of ire,
When the earth shall melt away
In the thunder-blast of fire.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.When to hear the doom are met
Saints and sinners, quick and dead,
And the great white throne is set,
And the books are open spread.

Grant them mercy in that day.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Though my foes may be strong and ruthless, still I dare to trust Thy grace.
Though the cross my path o’ershadow, Thou didst bear it once for me.

[Mat 28:20] Never Alone
I’ve seen the lightning flashing, I’ve heard the thunder roll.
I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing, which almost conquered my soul.
I’ve heard the voice of my Savior, bidding me still to fight on.
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone!Refrain
No, never alone, no never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
He’ll claim me for His own;
No, never alone, no never alone.
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.The world’s fierce winds are blowing, temptation sharp and keen.
I have a peace in knowing my Savior stands between—
He stands to shield me from danger when my friends are all gone.
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone!Refrain
When in affliction’s valley I tread the road of care,
My Savior helps me carry the cross so heavy to bear;
Though all around me is darkness, earthly joys all flown;
My Savior whispers His promise, never to leave me alone!Refrain
He died on Calvary’s mountain, for me they piercèd His side.
For me He opened that fountain, the crimson, cleansing tide.
For me He waiteth in glory, seated upon His throne.
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone!Refrain

[Mat 28:20] No Distant Lord Have I
No distant Lord have I,
Loving afar to be;
Made flesh for me, He cannot rest
Until He rests in me.Brother in joy and pain,
Bone of my bone was He;
More intimate and closer still—
He dwells Himself in me.I need not journey far
This dearest Friend to see;
Companionship is always mine;
He makes His home with me.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 28:20] O Let Him Whose Sorrow
O let him whose sorrow no relief can find,
Trust in God, and borrow ease for heart and mind.
Where the mourner weeping sheds the secret tear,
God His watch is keeping, though none else is near.God will never leave thee, all thy wants He knows,
Feels the pains that grieve thee, sees thy cares and woes;
Raise thine eyes to Heaven when thy spirits quail,
When, by tempests driven, heart and courage fail.All thy woe and sadness, in this world below,
Balance not the gladness thou in Heaven shalt know,
When thy gracious Savior in the realms above
Crowns thee with His favor, fills thee with His love.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 28:20] O Lord, With Toil Our Days Are Filled
O Lord, with toil our days are filled,
They rarely leave us free;
O give us space to seek for grace
In happy thoughts of Thee.Yet hear us, little though we ask,
O leave us not alone;
In every thought, and word, and task,
Be near us, though unknown.Still lead us, wandering in the dark,
Still send us heavenly food,
And mark, as none on earth can mark,
Our struggle to be good.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 28:20] Onward Will We Go
With our Savior close beside us,
Onward will we go;
With His loving hand to guide us,
Onward will we go.
Since His truth abideth ever,
And His love no power can sever,
Since His promise faileth never—
Onward will we go.In the strength of His salvation,
Onward will we go;
Heeding not the world’s temptation,
Onward will we go.
Though the clouds may gather o’er us,
This our watchword and our chorus:
“He has trod the way before us;
Onward will we go.”Every trial meekly bearing,
Onward will we go;
Each another’s burden sharing,
Onward will we go.
By His mighty arm defended,
By the heav’nly guards attended,
Till our life work here is ended,
Onward will we go.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Till I cross the rolling tide.Refrain

[Mat 28:20] Three In One And One In Three
Three in One and One in Three,
Ruler of the earth and sea,
Hear us, while we lift to Thee
Holy chant and psalm.Light of lights! with morning shine;
Lift on us Thy light divine;
And let charity benign
Breathe on us her balm.Light of lights! when falls the even
Let it close on sin forgiven;
Fold us in the peace of Heav’n;
Shed a holy calm.Three in One and One in Three,
Dimly here we worship Thee;
With the saints hereafter we
Hope to bear the palm.source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 28:20] To Thee, O Dear, Dear Savior!
To Thee, O dear, dear Savior!
My spirit turns for rest,
My peace is in Thy favor,
My pillow on Thy breast!
Though all the world deceive me,
I know that I am Thine,
And Thou wilt never leave me,
O blessèd Savior mine.In Thee my trust abideth,
On Thee my hope relies,
O Thou Whose love provideth
For all beneath the skies;
O Thou Whose mercy found me,
From bondage set me free,
And then forever bound me
With threefold cords to Thee.My grief is in the dullness
With which this sluggish heart
Doth open to the fullness
Of all Thou wouldst impart;
My joy is in Thy beauty
Of holiness divine,
My comfort in the duty
That binds my life in Thine.Alas, that I should ever
Have failed in love to Thee,
The only one who never
Forgot or slighted me!
O for a heart to love Thee
More truly as I ought,
And nothing place above Thee
In deed, or word, or thought.O for that choicest blessing
Of living in Thy love,
And thus on earth possessing
The peace of Heav’n above;
O for the bliss that by it
The soul securely knows
The holy calm and quiet
Of faith’s serene repose!source: Cyberhymnal -

We bless the Triune God of Might,
Our Sovereign and our Savior,
Who puts our enemies to flight,
And guards us with His favor!
Our song goes up to Him,
Above the seraphim,
Where awestruck angels gaze
At Him, Ancient of Days,
On high He reigns, exalted.Majestic Father, ever supreme,
Alone in light and glory,
At Your command the heavens gleam
And sing creation’s story.
The wind and waves obey
When Your Word bids them stay;
All nature shows Your face
Revealed in every place,
To every heart and mind of man.Jesus, the Christ, Anointed One,
Firstborn of all creation,
In human flesh, yet God the Son,
The Captain of Salvation!
My Righteousness You are!
’Tis written in the scars
That beautify Your face,
Proclaiming holy grace.
In You all truth and love abide.Great Spirit of the living Lord,
Our Comforter and faithful Guide—
You bring to us God’s out-breathed Word,
Suffusing it with increate light.
Convict us of our sin!
Renew our hearts within!
Restore salvation’s joy!
Our hearts and minds employ
In lives that flame with God-endued fire!Robed in pure light that knew no dawn,
Three Persons, yet One Essence,
Avenging sin with righteous sword drawn,
Yet mercy fills Your presence!
Your wrath is great, and just;
But in Your grace we trust!
Your lovingkindness sure
Will hold our souls secure,
’Til we behold Your face at last!Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 28:20] We Leave Thy House, But Leave Not Thee
We leave Thy house, but leave not Thee,
For Thou wilt ever with us be;
For time nor space can us divide,
Or take us from our Shepherd’s side.Thy flock we are: Thy house our fold
Where we together Thee behold;
Yet, when we scatter o’er life’s fields,
Thy presence sweet communion yields.The Upper Room has not decayed,
Each stone has now a million made;
In every land disciples meet,
And see Thy wounded hands and feet.Though lamps go out, and home we turn,
We feel our hearts within us burn;
And, day far spent, the very street
Rings, like Emmaus, with Thy feet.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 28:20] Wheresoe’er I Roam
Wheresoe’er I roam thro’ valleys dreary,
Over mountains, or in pathless wood,
Ever with me is a Friend to cheer me,
Warning, comforting as none else could.
’Tis the Shepherd, who once dying, bleeding,
Still through all eternity shall live;
Following His flock, protecting, feeding,
He the tend’rest care doth give;
Following His flock, protecting, feeding,
He the tend’rest care doth give.All my needs eternally supplying,
All in all to me that Friend shall be;
Ev’rything for which my heart is sighing,
He perceives, and helps me lovingly.
Tho’ I often feel forsaken, lonely,
He is ever near, for He did say:
“I am with you alway,” and this only
Gives me courage on my way;
“I am with you alway,” and this only
Gives me courage on my way.Piercèd Heart, with love o’erflowing, guide me,
Help me through life’s desert find my way,
Let my faith, no matter what betide me,
Find assurance in Thy wounds for aye.
To Thy bosom—for this life is fleeting—
Take me, wash my garments in Thy blood,
And arising may I, at Thy meeting,
Cry with joy, “My Lord and God!”
And arising may I, at Thy meeting,
Cry with joy, “My Lord and God!”Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Wise men seeking Jesus,
Traveled from afar,
Guided on their journey
By a beauteous star.But if we desire Him,
He is close at hand;
For our native country
Is our Holy Land.Prayerful souls may find Him

Meet Him on our hillsides

While the sheaves are bound,
In our busy markets
Jesus may be found.He is more than near us,
If we love Him well;
For He seeketh ever
In our hearts to dwell.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
