Matthew 4:17-22

• [Mat 4:17] O Lord Of Life, Thy Kingdom Is At Hand

  O Lord of life, Thy kingdom is at hand, Blest reign of love and liberty and light; Time long foretold by seers of every land; The cherished dream of watchers through the night. Lo! in our hearts shines forth the morning star, Shedding its luster on our darkened way; And we behold, as pilgrims from afar, The holy dawning of Thy perfect day. Now gleams at last upon our waiting eyes The glory of the kingdom that shall be; When truth in conqu’ring grandeur shall arise, And man shall rule the world with equity. Forward again we move at Thy coming! The flaming pillar leading on anew; One in the faith of all Thy prophet band, Onward we press to make the vision true.

• [Mat 4:17] Oh Realm Of Light

  Oh realm of light! whose morning star To Bethlehem’s manger led the way, Not yet upon our longing eyes Shines the full splendor of thy day: Yet still across the centuries fall, Both strong and sweet, our Lord’s command; And still with steadfast faith we cry, “Behold, the kingdom is at hand!” Oh realm of Heav’n! whose dawn began With love’s divine, incarnate breath, Our hearts were slow to understand The lessons of that life and death: Yet though with stammering tongues we tell Redemption’s story, strange and sweet, The world’s Redeemer, lifted up Shall draw the nations to His feet. Oh realm of peace! whose music clear Swept through Judea’s starlit skies, Still the harsh sounds of human strife Break on thy heavenly harmonies; Yet shall thy song of triumph ring In full accord, from land to land, And men with angels learn to sing, “Behold, the kingdom is at hand!”

• [Mat 4:19] Call Of The Christ, The

  The call of the Christ rings out today, Who will make reply? For labor, or service, or battle fray, Or seeking the lost who have gone astray, O Master, I’m ready to go or stay— Here am I! Refrain Here am I for service, whatsoe’er it be; I am waiting orders, Master, now from Thee; I have heard Thy summons from dark Calvary, And I gladly answer, “Master, here am I!” The call of the Christ rings sweet and clear, Who will make reply? Thy calling, O Master, today I hear, And gladly will follow Thee, far or near; With Thee as my Leader, no harm I fear, Here am I! Refrain The call of the Christ is now for you, Will you make reply? I’m waiting, O Master, Thy will to do; Count me on the side of the brave and true, I’ll follow Thee all of the battle thro’, Here am I! Refrain

• [Mat 4:19] Full Surrender

  Savior, ’tis a full surrender, All I leave to follow Thee; Thou my Leader and Defender From this hour shalt ever be. Refrain I surrender all! I surrender all! All I have I bring to Jesus, I surrender all. As I come in deep contrition, At this consecrated hour, Hear, O Christ, my heart’s petition, Let me feel the Spirit’s pow’r! Refrain No withholding—full confession; Pleasures, riches, all must flee; Holy Spirit, take possession! I no more, but Thou in me. Refrain Be this theme my song and story, Now and until life is o’er; This my rapture, this my glory, Till I reach the shining shore. Refrain Oh, the joy of full salvation! Oh, the peace of love divine! Oh, the bliss of consecration! I am His, and He is mine. Refrain

• [Mat 4:19] Jesus Calls Us

  Jesus calls us over the tumult Of our life’s wild, restless, sea; Day by day His sweet voice soundeth, Saying, “Christian, follow Me!” As of old Saint Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home and toil and kindred, Leaving all for Jesus’ sake. Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world’s golden store, From each idol that would keep us, Saying, “Christian, love Me more!” In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still He calls, in cares and pleasures, “Christian, love Me more than these!” Jesus calls us! By Thy mercies, Savior may we hear Thy call, Give our hearts to Thine obedience, Serve and love Thee best of all.
