Hymn: Many Crowd the Saviour‵s Kingdom

Author: Thomas A. Kempis (1380-1471)

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

1. Many crowd the Savior‵s Kingdom,
    Few receive His cross;
    Many seek His consolation,
    Few will suffer loss.
    For the dear sake of the Master,
    Counting all but dross,
    For the dear sake of the Master,
    Counting all but dross.

2. Many long to share His glory,
    Few will bear His shame;
    Many long to share His power,
    Few will suffer loss.
    Almost none would for His Kingdom
    Count their all as dross.
    Almost none would for His Kingdom
    Count their all as dross.

3. Many sit at Jesus‵ table,
    Few will fast with Him,
    When the sorrow-cup of anguish
    Trembles to the brim.
    Few watch with Him in the garden,
    Who have sung the hymn,
    Few watch with Him in the garden,
    Who have sung the hymn.

4. Many will confess His wisdom,
    Few embrace His shame.
    Many, should He smile upon them,
    Will His praise proclaim;
    Then, if for a while He leave them,
    They desert His name,
    Then, if for a while He leave them,
    They desert His name.

5. But the souls who love Him truly,
    Let woe come or bliss,
    These will count their dearest hearts‵ blood
    Not their own, but His.
    Savior, Thou who thus hast loved me,
    Give me love like this,
    Savior, Thou who thus hast loved me,
    Give me love like this.

Hymn: Shall We Gather at the River

Author: Robert Lowry (1826-1899)

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

1. Shall we gather at the river,
    Where bright angel feet have trod;
    With its crystal tide forever
    Flowing by the throne of God?

Refrain:

Yes, we‵ll gather at the river,

The beautiful, the beautiful river;

Gather with the saints at the river

That flows by the throne of God.

2. On the margin of the river,
    Washing up its silver spray,
    We will walk and worship ever,
    All the happy golden day.

3. Ere we reach the shining river,
    Lay we ev‵ry burden down;
    Grace our spirits will deliver,
    And provide a robe and crown.

4. Soon we‵ll reach the shining river,
    Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
    Soon our happy hearts will quiver
    With the melody of peace.

1. More love to Thee, O Christ!
    More love to Thee;
    Hear Thou the prayer I make
    On bended knee;
    This is my earnest plea,
    More love, O Christ, to Thee,
    More love to Thee!
    More love to Thee!

2. Once earthly joy I craved,
    Sought peace and rest;
    Now Thee alone I seek,
    Give what is best;
    This all my prayer shall be:
    More love, O Christ, to Thee,
    More love to Thee!
    More love to Thee!

3. Let sorrow do its work,
    Send grief and pain;
    Sweet are Thy messengers,
    Sweet their refrain,
    When they can sing with me,
    More love, O Christ, to Thee,
    More love to Thee!
    More love to Thee!

4. Then shall my latest breath,
    Whisper Thy praise;
    This be the parting cry
    My heart shall raise;
    This still its prayer shall be,
    More love, O Christ, to Thee,
    More love to Thee!
    More love to Thee!
