SERVICE — BY BEING NOTHING
E900
Peculiar Meter.
1. Oh, to be nothing, nothing!
Only to lie at His feet,
A broken and emptied vessel—
For the Master's use made meet!
Emptied that He might fill me
As forth to His service I go;
Broken, that so unhindered,
His life through me might flow.
Oh, to be nothing, nothing!
Only to lie at His feet,
A broken and emptied vessel—
For the Master's use made meet!
2. Oh, to be nothing, nothing!
Only as led by His hand—
A messenger at His gateway,
Only waiting for His command;
Only an instrument ready
His praises to sound at His will—
Willing, should He not require me,
In silence to wait on Him still.
Oh, to be nothing, nothing!
Only to lie at His feet,
A broken and emptied vessel—
For the Master's use made meet!
3. Oh, to be nothing, nothing!
Painful the humbling may be!
Yet low in the dust I'd lay me
That the world might my Savior see!
Rather be nothing, nothing!
To Him let their voices be raised!
He is the fountain of blessing,
He only is meet to be praised!
Oh, to be nothing, nothing!
Only to lie at His feet,
A broken and emptied vessel—
For the Master's use made meet!
SERVICE — BY BEING WROUGHT UPON BY THE LORD
E901
<IP_ADDRESS>.8.
1. Lord, how can man e'er preach Thy Word?

2. But when Thou dost anneal Thy story
In glass, Thy life to shine within
The holy preachers, light of glory
More radiant grows and more doth win,
Which else shows waterish, bleak, and thin.
3. The life and doctrine blent in one
As light and color mingled, bring
A strong regard; but speech alone
Doth vanish like a flaring thing,
And in the ear, not spirit ring.
SERVICE — BY BEING WROUGHT UPON BY THE LORD
E902
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. Shine Thou upon us, Lord,
True Light of men, today,
And through the written Word
Thy very self display;
That so from hearts which burn
With gazing on Thy face,
Thy little ones may learn
The wonders of Thy grace.
2. Breathe Thou upon us, Lord,
Thy Spirit's living flame,
That so with one accord
Our lips may tell Thy name;
Give Thou the hearing ear,
Fix Thou the wandering thought,
That those we teach may hear
The great things Thou hast wrought.
3. Speak Thou for us, O Lord,
In all we say of Thee;
According to Thy Word
Let all our teaching be;
That so Thy lambs may know
Their own true Shepherd's voice,
Where'er He leads them go,
And in His love rejoice.
4. Live Thou within us, Lord;
Thy mind and will be ours;
Be Thou beloved, adored,
And served with all our powers;
That so our lives may teach
Thy children what Thou art,
And plead, by more than speech,
For Thee with every heart.
SERVICE — BY BEING WROUGHT UPON BY THE LORD
E903
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
In living echoes of Thy tone;
As Thou hast sought, so let me seek
Thy erring children lost and lone.
2. O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, Lord, that I may feed
Thy hungering ones with manna sweet.
3. O strengthen me, that while I stand
Firm on the rock, and strong in Thee,
I may stretch out a loving hand
To wrestlers with the troubled sea.
4. O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things Thou dost impart;
And wing my words, that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.
5. O give Thine own sweet rest to me,
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee
To weary ones in needful hour.
6. O fill me with Thy fulness, Lord,
Until my very heart o'erflow
In kindling thought and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.
7. O use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where,
Until Thy blessed face I see,
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share!
SERVICE — BY DWELLING WITH THE LORD
E904
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.(A)
1. We have a most glorious King;
The heavens, He says, are His throne;
All worlds are His mighty domain,
All kingdoms His scepter shall own.
He dwells with His people below,
He loves in their trials to share;
We dwell with the King for His work,
His burden we willingly bear.
2. I'm dwelling with Jesus my King;
I've found where He dwells with His own;
I've opened the door of my heart;
He's made it His temple and throne.
Like Mary I sit at His feet,
Like John I recline on His breast;
His presence is fulness of joy,
His bosom is infinite rest.
3. I dwell with the King for His work,
I've part in His glorious plan
To bring in His kingdom to earth
And tell His salvation to man.
The world has its work and rewards,
I count them but folly and loss;
My business is only His work,
My message is only His cross.
4. I dwell with the King for His work,
The work, it is His and not mine;
He plans and prepares it for me
And fills me with power divine.
So duty is changed to delight,
And prayer into praise as I sing;
I dwell with my King for His work
And work in the strength of my King.
5. We'll dwell with the King for His work
And work thru each day of the year.
Perhaps ere it passes, the King
In glory Himself shall appear.
Oh, then in some closer embrace,
Oh, then in some nobler employ
We'll dwell with the King for His work
In endless, ineffable joy!
SERVICE — BY A CLOSER WALK WITH THE LORD
E905
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. O Master, let me walk with Thee
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me Thy secret, help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.
2. Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the Godward way.
3. Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee
In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong.
4. In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broad'ning way,
In peace that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, O Master, let me live.
SERVICE — BY THE LORD WITHIN
E906
<IP_ADDRESS>.8.
1. How much can we do for our Savior?
How much for our dear fellow man?
The way to do more than we're able
Is Jesus within to enable;
Thus we can do more than we can.
2. How much can we be for our Savior
In life with its brief, fleeting span?
If Jesus within us is dwelling
Our life and our actions infilling,
We all can do more than we can.
3. How much can we bear for our Savior?
How much for our dear fellow man?
If in us His love is constraining,
If 'neath us His arms are sustaining,
We all can do more than we can.
4. How much can we give for our Savior?
To succor our dear fellow man?
If from us His love is o'erflowing,
Our life will be ever outgoing;
We'll always do more than we can.
SERVICE — BY THE LORD'S LEADING
E907 (T907) (C-650)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. Not where we elect to go,
But where Jesus leads the way,
There the living waters flow,
There our darkness turns to day.
2. Not our self-appointed task
Will the Lord's approval win,
But the work we did not ask,
Finished humbly, just for Him.
3. Not the prayer we long to plead
When we bend before the Throne,
But the touching deeper need
Of the Spirit's wordless groan.
4. Not the gift we proudly lay
On His altar will He heed,
If our hearts have said Him, "Nay,"
When He whispered, "I have need."
5. Thus we die, and dying live
In the heavenlies with the Lord;
Thus we serve, and pray, and give,
Christ Himself our great Reward.
PAGLILINGKOD — SA PAMAMAGITAN NG PANGUNGUNA NG PANGINOON
T907 (E907)
1. Di sa gustong puntahan,
Kundi gabay ni Hesus,
Lumiwanag karimlan,
Doon buhay umagos.
2. Di ang gawang pinili
Tatamo ng papuri,
Hindi gawang tinakda,
Gawin para sa Kanya.
3. Samo di ayon sa 'kin,
Pagdulog ko sa Trono;
Nguni't lalim hipuin,
Hibik ng Espiritu.
4. Di handog sa dambana
Ang bibigyang-pansin Niya,
Anas Niya'y may kailangan,
Puso ay huwag tanggihan.
5. Nabuhay pagkamatay
Sa mga kalangitan;
Maglingkod, dasal, alay,
Kristong Premyo mataglay.
SERVICE — OF THE SPIRIT
E908* (T908) (C-654)
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. Not of letters, but of spirit,
The New Testamental way;
For 'tis life the spirit giveth,
But the letters always slay.
Outward work God never reckons,
But what's from the inmost part;
It is not to serve in letter,
But life's newness to impart.
2. Not just by the outward teachings,
But by His anointing moved;
Not just by the outward pattern,
But by inward vision proved.
Not by human rules or rituals,
But by heaven's rule within;
Not by human-made decisions,
But by guidance giv'n of Him.
3. Not a dead religion serving,
But in Christ as life to live;
Not theology dispensing,
But a living Christ to give.
Not the knowledge of mere doctrine,
But the message Christ should be;
Not the gifts, the forms, the teachings,
But God's Christ — reality.
4. Not objectively to worship,
But to serve Him inwardly;
Not to preach a Christ objective,
But Himself subjectively.
Not just by the Scripture serving,
But in spirit and in life;
Not by flesh, but by the Spirit
Filling, freeing from all strife.
PAGLILINGKOD — SA ESPIRITU
T908 (E908)
1. Bagong Tipa'y di sa titik,
Kundi sa 'spiritu lang;
'Spiritu'y nagbigay buhay,
Ang titik pumapaslang.
Gawang di mula sa loob,
Di binibilang ng Diyos;
Di sa titik paglilingkod,
Kundi sa buhay lubos.
2. Di sa panlabas na turo,
Kundi sa pagpapahid;
Di sa huwarang panlabas,
Kundi sa pangitain.
Pamumunong makalangit,
Hindi ito pantao;
Paggabay at pahayag Niya,
Di pagpasya ng tao.
3. Di silbihan relihiyon
Kundi Kristo'y ibuhay
Ni hindi teolohiya,
Ibigay Kristong buháy.
Tanging Kristo ang mensahe,
Di alam na doktrina.
Kristo ng Diyos — realidad,
Di kaloob ni porma.
4. Mula sa loob maglingkod,
Di pagsambang panlabas;
Subhektibong ipahayag,
Kristo nating dinanas.
Sa espiritu at buhay,
Paglingkod di sa titik,
Sa 'Spiritu, di sa laman,
Malaya sa pigapit.

In the stream! in the stream!
Let us work in the stream!

Let us work in the stream!
In the stream! in the stream!
We'll work as in the heav'nly team!
3. In the stream! in the stream! let us work in the Lord,
With the Church, with the saints, in the light of His Word;
Give the Word, life supply to the people in need,
Thus fulfilling God's plan, in His flow we'll proceed.
In the stream! in the stream!
Let us work in the stream!
In the stream! in the stream!
We'll work as in the heav'nly team!
PAGLILINGKOD — SA AGOS
T909 (E909)
1. Sa agos gumawa para sa Pangino'n,
Ayon sa Salita, Kanyang isip, daan,
Sa agos ng buhay at kapangyarihan
Maglingkod sa Ekklesia at Kaharian.
Sa agos! sa agos!
Gumawa sa agos!
Maglingkod kalakip

Maglingkod kalakip

910 — 919
SERVICE — THE OVERFLOW OF LIFE
E910* (T910) (C-655)
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.(I)
1. The overflow of life is work,
The work should be our living!
What we experience e'er should be
The message we are giving.
When living and the work are one,
The work will be effectual;
When message and the life are one,
The word will be successful.
2. The work must be the fruit of life,
Born thru the Spirit's flowing;
As branches of the Lord, the vine,
Fruit bearing, life bestowing.
'Tis Christ Himself thru us to work,
Himself as life expressing,
And all the riches of His life
To others manifesting.
3. 'Tis not a movement borne of man,
But by His power moving;
'Tis not the deeds done outwardly,
But inward action proving.
'Tis not the work of enterprise,
But 'tis His life confessing;
'Tis not to toil for our success,
But 'tis Himself expressing.
4. Our plans, our aims, our energy
We must abandon wholly,
That He may work His plan thru us,
His aim and object solely.
Ourselves, with all we are and have,
To death we must surrender,
That Christ may live Himself thru us
With riches and with splendor.
PAGLILINGKOD — ANG PAG-APAW NG BUHAY
T910 (E910)
1. Gawa'y pag-apaw ng buhay,
Dapat ding pamumuhay!
Pamumuhay, gawa'y isa,
Gawa'y magkakabunga.
Karanasang sinalita,
Mensaheng totoo nga;
Mensaheng may karanasan,
Sadyang may kalakasan.
2. Bunga ng buhay ang gawa,
Espiritu'y namunga;
Tulad ng ubas sa sanga,
Hayag buhay sagana.
Sa pamamagitan natin,
Gumagawa si Kristo.
Upang yaman ng buhay Niya
Mahayag nga sa atin.
3. Di tao ang umaakto,
Kundi ang Espiritu;
Di panlabas na paggawa,
Kundi ang panloob nga;
Di 'sang uring hanapbuhay,
Kundi Diyos ipamuhay;
Di pagpagal nang magwagi,
Kundi 'hayag Siyang lagi.
4. Ating balak, layon, kaya,
Lahat dapat wala na,
Nang Siya'y makagawa sa 'tin,
Layunin Niya'y tuparin.
Tangkilik natin, tayo man,
Lagak sa kamatayan.
Nang sa atin mamuhay Siya,
Hayag yaman, rilag Niya.
SERVICE — ENJOYING CHRIST AS EVERYTHING
E911* (T911) (C-657)
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1.

2. All the clothing of his service
Is the beauty of the Lord;
Glorious splendor do his garments,
Breast and shoulder-piece afford.

3. When in sacrifice he offers
Christ to God as God has willed,
Then as food he doth enjoy Him
And is with His riches filled.

4. Putting on the Lord as clothing,
Christ without he doth express;
Eating, drinking, with Him mingled,
Christ within doth him possess.

5. Holy, glorious is their dwelling,
'Tis the increase of the Lord;
Here the priests built up together
Unto God a house afford.

In His all-inclusiveness.

PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL — THE NATIONS' CALL
E915
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand;
From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2. What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft on Ceylon's isle;
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile;
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown;
The heathen, in his blindness,
Bow down to wood and stone.
3. Can we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high;
Can we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation! O salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim,
Till each remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's name.
4. Waft, waft, ye winds, His story;
And you, ye waters, roll,
Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole;
Till o'er our ransomed nature,
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.
PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL — THE NATIONS' CALL
E916
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. Now the Lord our souls has fed,
With Himself, the Living Bread;
Fed us, sitting at His feet,
With the finest of the wheat.
2. We have endless treasure found;
We have all things and abound;
Rich abundance and to spare;
Shall we not the blessing share?
3. For, while we are feasting here,
Starving millions, far and near,
Call us with the bitter cry:
Come and help us, or we die.
4. In this day of full increase,
Shall we, can we, hold our peace?
Staying here we do not well;
Now then, let us go and tell:
5. Tell how He hath set us free,
How He leads triumphantly;
How He satisfies our need;
How His rest is rest indeed.
6. Speak, for we, Thy servants, hear;
Thou hast taught us not to fear;
And whate'er Thy word shall be,
We can do it, Lord, in Thee.
PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL — GO 'YE!
E917
<IP_ADDRESS>. with chorus.
1. Far, far away, in heathen darkness dwelling,
Millions of souls forever may be lost;
Who, who will go, salvation's story telling,
Looking to Jesus, counting not the cost?
"All pow'r is given unto me,
All pow'r is given unto me,
Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel,
And lo, I am with you alway."
2. See o'er the world, wide open doors inviting:
Soldiers of Christ, arise and enter in!
Christians, awake! your forces all uniting,
Send forth the Gospel, break the chains of sin.
"All pow'r is given unto me,
All pow'r is given unto me,
Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel,
And lo, I am with you alway."
3. "Why will ye die?"  re-echo in His name:
Jesus hath died to save from death appalling,
Life and salvation therefore go proclaim.
"All pow'r is given unto me,
All pow'r is given unto me,
Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel,
And lo, I am with you alway."
PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL — SENDING FORTH THE TIDINGS
E918 (T918) (C-663)
<IP_ADDRESS>. with chorus.
1. Christians, make haste, your mission high fulfilling,
To tell to all the world that God is Light,
That He who made all nations is not willing
One soul should perish, lost in shades of night.
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace;
Tidings of Jesus, redemption and release.
2. Behold how many thousands still are lying,
Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin,
With none to tell them of the Savior's dying
Or of the life He died for them to win.
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace;
Tidings of Jesus, redemption and release.
3. 'Tis yours to save from peril of perdition
The soul for whom the Lord His life laid down;
Beware lest, slothful to fulfill your mission,
You lose one jewel that should deck His crown.
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace;
Tidings of Jesus, redemption and release.
4. Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation
That God, in whom they move and live, is love;
Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation,
And died on earth that men He might approve.
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace;
Tidings of Jesus, redemption and release.
5. Give of your sons to bear the message glorious;
Give of your wealth to speed them on their way;
Pour out your soul for them in prayer victorious,
And all you spend our Savior will repay.
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace;
Tidings of Jesus, redemption and release.
6. He comes again; O brothers, ere you meet Him,
Make known to every heart His saving grace;
Let none whom He hath ransomed fail to greet Him,
Through your neglect unfit to see His face.
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace;
Tidings of Jesus, redemption and release.

1. He shall reign o'er all the earth,
He who wore the crown of thorn,
Whom they deemed of little worth,
Whom they met with hate and scorn;
Send the tidings forth, that all
Humbly at His feet may fall.
2. Long His heritage hath lain
'Neath the false usurper's sway;
He will claim it back again,
Rout the foes and win the day.
Send the tidings forth, that all
Humbly at His feet may fall.
3. Then, beneath His rule of peace
Heaven shall smile, and earth shall sing,
Ever yielding rich increase
To the honor of her King.
Send the tidings forth, that all
Humbly at His feet may fall.
4. Hasten, Lord, the wondrous hour,
Bid it strike from shore to shore,
Thine the kingdom and the power,
Thine the glory evermore.
Bow each rebel heart, that all
At Thy feet adoring fall.

PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL — SENDING FORTH THE TIDINGS
E920
<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. Sound ye the trumpet-call;
Heralds proclaim
Jesus as Lord of all,
Sound forth His fame;
Tell of His great renown,
Lift high the kingly crown,
Let every knee bow down
At His blest name.
2. Who will go forth for Him?
Who will arise?
Though eyes with tears are dim,
Severed love's ties:
Counting all things but loss,
Earth's highest gain but dross,
And glorying in the cross,
Who will arise?
3. Go, for the crowning day
Draws ever near;
Time will soon pass away,
Jesus be here:
Raise ye the cross where now
Nations to idols bow;
Dawn o'er the mountain's brow
Tells He is near.
4. Hark to the trumpet-blast!
Jesus is King!
He comes to reign at last,
All conquering:
Then the wide world shall own,
Bending before His throne,
Jesus is King alone,
Jesus is King!
PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL — RESCUING THE PERISHING
E921 (T921) (C-664)
Peculiar Meter.
1. Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep o'er the erring one,
Lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus the mighty to save.
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.
2. Though they are slighting Him,
Still He is waiting,
Waiting the penitent child to receive;
Plead with them earnestly,
Plead with them gently;
He will forgive if they only believe.
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.
3. Down in the human heart,
Crushed by the tempter,
Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;
Touched by a loving heart,
Wakened by kindness,
Chords that are broken will vibrate once more.
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.
4. Rescue the perishing,
Duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way
Patiently win them;
Tell the poor wand'rer a Savior has died.
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.

Bring in the very souls whom God has made,
Bring in the souls usurped by every sin.

Go to deliver people from the world,
From all Satanic darkness and deceit,
From the allurements Satan has unfurled.

Go to win souls to glorify the Lord;
Go to defeat the enemy of God,
Go, sinners to release, with one accord.

And let the trumpet of the gospel sound.

E924
<IP_ADDRESS>.D. with chorus.
1. Along the shores of Galilee,
When Christ five thousand fed,
Not one was omitted
In the breaking of the bread.

Lord, I would give them the Bread of Life,
The Living Water too;
My heart cries out, "Oh, here am I,
Ready, Thy will to do."
2. Long years have passed and few have heard
That Jesus Christ has bled,
That they might feed on Him who died
To be that Living Bread.
To gods of stone and wood they cry,
Yet they are never fed,
For they have been omitted
In the breaking of the Bread.
Lord, I would give them the Bread of Life,
The Living Water too;
My heart cries out, "Oh, here am I,
Ready, Thy will to do."
3. Great God, who gave Thine only Son,
Help us, now Spirit-led,
To tell the story of Thy love
To those who ask for bread.
Then gladly will we go or send,
Till this blest news has spread,
And they have been included
In the breaking of the Bread.
Lord, I would give them the Bread of Life,
The Living Water too;
My heart cries out, "Oh, here am I,
Ready, Thy will to do."

It is by our testimony
That lost sinners we may win.
Grant us, Lord, the living outflow,
May Thy life through us be seen;
Through us as Thy living vessels
Quicken people from within.
2. It is by the life convincing
That the people may believe;
It is by the life imparting
That the souls may life receive.
Grant us, Lord, the living outflow,
May Thy life through us be seen;
Through us as Thy living vessels
Quicken people from within.
3. Always in the Lord abiding,
As the branches fruit to bear;
By the inner life out-flowing
Christ with others we may share.
Grant us, Lord, the living outflow,
May Thy life through us be seen;
Through us as Thy living vessels
Quicken people from within.
4. May our living be the preaching,
Making Christ to others known;
Not the word of doctrine-preaching,
But the seed of life be sown.
Grant us, Lord, the living outflow,
May Thy life through us be seen;
Through us as Thy living vessels
Quicken people from within.

To our dear Lord of Calvary,
Dead ashes for our offering.
3. Dead ashes, husk of corn for wheat
Lord of our consecration vow,
We gather round Thy wounded feet,
We see the thorn about Thy brow.

Grant us this plea, this sovereign plea,
Save us from choosing peace for sword,
And give us souls to give to Thee.

Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.
2. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are straying,
The Savior who died on the cross?
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.

If our lives are not free from all sin;

To those we are trying to win.

Out of my life may Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray,
Make me a blessing to someone today.
2. Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love,
Tell of His pow'r to forgive;
Others will trust Him if only you prove
True, every moment you live.
Make me a blessing, make me a blessing,
Out of my life may Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray,
Make me a blessing to someone today.

Make me a blessing to someone today.

1. "Must I go, and empty-handed,"
Thus my dear Redeemer meet?
Not one day of service give Him,
Lay no trophy at His feet?
"Must I go, and empty-handed?"
Must I meet my Savior so?
Not one soul with which to greet Him:
Must I empty-handed go?
2. Not at death I shrink nor falter,
For my Savior saves me now;
But to meet Him empty-handed,
Thought of that now clouds my brow.
"Must I go, and empty-handed?"
Must I meet my Savior so?
Not one soul with which to greet Him:
Must I empty-handed go?
3. O the years in sinning wasted;
Could I but recall them now,
I would give them to my Savior,
To His will I'd gladly bow.
"Must I go, and empty-handed?"
Must I meet my Savior so?
Not one soul with which to greet Him:
Must I empty-handed go?
4. O ye saints, arouse, be earnest,
Up and work while yet 'tis day;
Ere the night of death o'ertake thee,
Strive for souls while still you may.
"Must I go, and empty-handed?"
Must I meet my Savior so?
Not one soul with which to greet Him:
Must I empty-handed go?

Pag'lingkod 'di Siya mabigyan,
Ni handog sa paa Niya?
"Dapat bang lumisang hungkag"
Na babatiin ko Siya?
Wala ni isang kalul'wa
Upang salubungin Siya?
2. Di takot sa kamatayan,
Dahil niligtas na Niya;
Nguni't ang lumisang hungkag
Ang tangi kong pangamba.
"Dapat bang lumisang hungkag"
Na babatiin ko Siya?
Wala ni isang kalul'wa
Upang salubungin Siya?
3. Maraming taong nasayang
Sa mga kasalanan,
Ngayo'y ang Manunubos ko,
Ang aking paglingkuran.
"Dapat bang lumisang hungkag"
Na babatiin ko Siya?
Wala ni isang kalul'wa
Upang salubungin Siya?
4. O mga banal, magtindig,
Umagap sa gawain,
Mga kalul'wa'y hanapin,
Nang dilim di abutin.

Wala ni isang kalul'wa
Upang salubungin Siya?

How show the way?
"Love never faileth,"
Love is the way.
2. Think how the Savior
Came from above
Suffered on Calvary,
Breathing out love;
Think how He loves us,
E'en when we stray:
We must love others,
Love is His way.
3. See, they are waiting,
Looking at you,
Silently watching
All that you do;
Seeming so careless,
Hardened and lost:
"Love never faileth,"
Count not the cost.
4. "Love never faileth,"
Love is pure gold:
Love is what Jesus
Came to unfold;
Love these souls thru us,
Savior, we pray;
Thy love ne'er faileth,
Love is Thy way.
PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL — LOVE FOR SOULS
E932
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. Lord, lay some soul upon my heart,
And love that soul through me;
And may I bravely do my part
To win that soul for Thee.
Some soul for Thee, some soul for Thee,
This is my earnest plea;
Help me each day, on life's highway,
To win some soul for Thee.
2. Lord, lead me to some soul in sin,
And grant that I may be
Endued with power and love to win
That soul, dear Lord, for Thee.
Some soul for Thee, some soul for Thee,
This is my earnest plea;
Help me each day, on life's highway,
To win some soul for Thee.
3. To win that soul for Thee, my Lord,
Will be my constant prayer;
That when I've won Thy full reward
I'll with that dear one share.
Some soul for Thee, some soul for Thee,
This is my earnest plea;
Help me each day, on life's highway,
To win some soul for Thee.
PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL — PRAYING FOR OTHERS
E933 (T933) (C-669)
<IP_ADDRESS>. with chorus.
1. I have a Savior, He's pleading in glory,
A dear loving Savior, though earth-friends be few;
And now He is watching in tenderness o'er me,
But oh, that my Savior were your Savior too!
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I'm praying for you.
2. I have a Father: to me He has given
A hope for eternity, blessed and true;
He'll call me one day to the kingdom of heaven,
But oh, that He'd let me bring you with me too!
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I'm praying for you.
3. I have a peace: it is calm as river,
A peace that the friends of this world never knew;
My Savior alone is its Author and Giver,
And oh, could I know it was given to you!
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I'm praying for you.
PAGPAPAHAYAG NG EBANGHELYO — NANANALANGIN PARA SA IBA

1. Manliligtas sumasamo sa gloria
Mapagmahal Siya, konti man kaibigan;
At magiliw sa akin nagbabantay Siya,
Maging Manliligtas mo rin nawa Siya.
Ako'y nagdarasal,

Pag-asang walang hanggan na siyang tunay;

At nabatid kong sa iyo ibinigay!
Ako'y nagdarasal,

Ako'y nagdarasal,
Para nga sa iyo.
PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL — MYRIADS WON
E934
<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. I cannot tell why He, whom angels worship,
Should set His love upon the sons of men,
Or why, as Shepherd, He should seek the wand'rers,
To bring them back, they know not how or when.
But this I know, that He was born of Mary,
When Bethl'hem's manger was His only home,
And that He lived at Nazareth and labored,
And so the Savior, Savior of the world, is come.
2. I cannot tell how silently He suffered,
As with His peace He graced this place of tears,
Or how His heart upon the cross was broken,
The crown of pain to three and thirty years.
But this I know, He heals the broken-hearted,
And stays our sin, and calms our lurking fear,
And lifts the burden from the heavy laden,
For yet the Savior, Savior of the world, is here.
3. I cannot tell how He will win the nations,
How He will claim His earthly heritage,
How satisfy the needs and aspirations
Of east and west, of sinner and of sage.
But this I know, all flesh shall see His glory,
And He shall reap the harvest He has sown,
And some glad day His sun shall shine in splendor
When He the Savior, Savior of the world, is known.
4. I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship,
When, at His bidding, every storm is stilled,
Or who can say how great the jubilation
When all the hearts of men with love are filled.
But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture,
And myriad, myriad human voices sing,
And earth to heaven, and heaven to earth, will answer:
At last the Savior, Savior of the world, is King.
BAPTISM — AROUND THE LORD'S GRAVE
E935
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. Around Thy grave, Lord Jesus,
In spirit here we stand,
With hearts all full of praises,
To keep Thy blest command:
Our souls by faith rejoicing,
To trace Thy path of love,
Down through death's angry billows,
Up to the throne above.
2. Lord Jesus! we remember
The travail of Thy soul,
When through Thy love's deep pity,
The waves did o'er Thee roll;
Baptized in death's dark waters,
For us Thy blood was shed;
For us Thou, Lord of Glory,
Wast numbered with the dead.
3. O Lord!
4. Unto Thy death baptized,
We own with Thee we died;
With Thee, our Life, we're risen,
And shall be glorified.
From sin, the world, and Satan,
We're ransomed by Thy blood,
And here would walk as strangers,
Alive with Thee to God.
BAPTISM — BURIED AND RISEN
E936* (T936) (C-741)
Peculiar Meter.
In death's waters I am buried,
For with Christ my Savior, I have died;
Now the world cannot pursue me,
For its power here is nullified.
I with Christ have risen too,
Out of death with Him I walk and live;
Now the Spirit life supplies
And His strength exhaustless unto me doth give.

Ngayon 'Spiritu'y nagtustos,
Buhay, lakas sa akin ibinigay.

E937* (T937)

1. Lord, when by baptism we confess
Our oneness in Thy death,
Oh, by Thy mercy and Thy grace,
May Thou reveal its worth.
2. By baptism in Thy death we're one
And buried too with Thee;
Thus we're forever dead to sin
And from its bondage free.
3. By baptism in Thy death we're one
And buried too with Thee;
Thus to the world we bid farewell,
From Satan's slavery free.
4. We're resurrected with Thee too,
From death's great pow'r set free;
Now fruit of holiness we bear
In our new life with Thee.
5. We're baptized unto Thy dear name,
No more our own are we;
Thy steps we'd follow, for Thee live,
And e'er be one with Thee.

Kasamang nalibing,
Sa kasalanan patay na,
At pinalaya rin.

Kasamang nalibing,
Sa mundo namaalam na,
At pagka-alipin.
4. Tagumpay sa kamatayan
At muling-nabuhay,

E939 (T939)
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. O day of resurrection,
O day of joy and light,
O seal of our redemption,
Most beautiful, most bright:
On thee the high and lowly,
Bending before the throne,
Sing "Holy, holy, holy,"
To the great Three in One.
2. On thee at the creation
The light first had its birth;
On thee, for our salvation,
Christ rose from depths of earth;
On thee, our Lord, victorious,
The Spirit sent from heaven;
And thus on thee, most glorious,
A triple light was given.
3. Today on weary nations
The heavenly manna falls!
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls,
Where gospel light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams,
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.
4. New graces ever gaining
From this of days the best,
We reach the rest remaining
For people who are blest;
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father and to Son;
The Church her voice upraises
To Thee, blest Three in One.
ANG ARAW NG PANGINOON — ARAW NG PAGKABUHAY NA MULI
T939 (E939)
1. Araw ng pagkabuhay,
Maligayang araw,
Tatak ng katubusan,
Kay ganda't malinaw:
Mataas at mababa,
Nanikluhod sa Iyo;
O "Banal, banal, banal"
Sa Iyo na Tres-uno.
2. Sa paglikhang ginawa,
Liwanag nanguna;
Sa kaligtasan naman,
Ibinangon nga Siya;
Espiritu'y sinugo,
Poong mapagwagi;
Liwanag napatindi
Ika'y nal'walhati.
3. Ang mannang makalangit
Sa Hentil sumapit!
Sa banal nga na pulong,
Trumpeta'y tumunog,
Ebanghelyo'y sumilay,
Sinag na dalisay;
Dumaloy tubig-buhay,
Kalul'wa'y ginhawa.
4. Bagong biyaya'y tamo,
Mas mabuting araw;
Sa taong pinagpala,
Pahinga'y natamo.

Sa Diyos Tatlo-isa.

THE LORD'S DAY — BEST OF THE WEEK
E940 (T940)
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. Passing through another week,
God has granted us His aid;
Let us now a blessing seek,
On the day the Lord hath made;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.
[Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.]
2. While we pray for pard'ning grace,
Through the dear Redeemer's name,
Show Thy reconciled face;
Take away our sin and shame:
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.
[From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.]
3. Here we come Thy name to praise,
Let us feel Thy presence near;
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.

4. May Thy gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints:
Thus may all our Lord's Days prove,
Till we meet the Lord above.
[Thus may all our Lord's Days prove,
Till we meet the Lord above.]
ANG ARAW NG PANGINOON — PINAKAMAINAM SA ISANG LINGGO
T940 (E940)
1. Sanlinggo'y lumipas na,
Binigyan ng tulong Niya;
Hanapin pagpapala
Sa araw na gawa Niya:
Araw na mas mabuti,
Sagisag ng pahinga.
[Araw na mas mabuti,
Sagisag ng pahinga.]
2. Dasal kapatawaran,
Sa mahal Niyang pangalan;
Pinagkasundo na nga,
Inalis aming sala:
Lumaya sa abala,
Sa Iyo ay may pahinga.
[Lumaya sa abala,
Sa Iyo ay may pahinga.]
3. Dito ay purihin Ka,
Ngalan Mo at presensya,
Sa Iyong bahay nadama,
Gloria Mo ay nakita:
Bigyan kami ng tikim

[Bigyan kami ng tikim,

Biyaya sumagana,
Sa daing may ginhawa:
Patotoo'y kaarawan,
Hanggang sa magpangita.
[Patotoo'y kaarawan,
Hanggang sa magpangita.]
THE KINGDOM — ITS MEANING
E941* (T941) (C-745)
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. God's kingdom is God's reigning,
His glory to maintain;
It is His sovereign ruling,
His order to sustain.
He exercises fully
His own authority
Within His kingdom ever
And to eternity.
2. Upon the throne, the center
Of government divine,
God reigns, and with His purpose
Brings everything in line.
God's headship and His lordship
He only can maintain
As King within His kingdom,
O'er everything to reign.
3. By reigning in His kingdom
God worketh all His will,
And under His dominion
His purpose doth fulfill.
'Tis only in God's kingdom
His blessing we may know;
'Tis from His throne almighty
The stream of life doth flow.
4. Submitted to God's ruling,
All virtue thus will win;
Rebellion to His Headship
Is but the root of sin.
The evil aim of Satan—
God's throne to overthrow;
Our aim and goal is ever
His rule to fully know.
5. Within God's sovereign kingdom
His Christ is magnified;
When Christ in life is reigning,
The Father's glorified.
When God is in dominion,
All things are truly blessed;
When Christ for God is reigning,
God's glory is expressed.
6. In fulness of the seasons
God's Christ will head up all,
Then all will own His reigning
And worship, great and small.
Such reign in life and glory
The Church e'en now foretastes,
And to His rule submitting
Unto His kingdom hastes.
ANG KAHARIAN — ANG KAHULUGAN NITO
T941 (E941)
1. Ang kaharian ng Diyos
Ay pamumuno Niya,
Namamalagi gloria,
Kaayusan dala.
Sariling awtoridad,
Ganap pinatupad;
Sa Kanyang kaharian,
Magpakailan pa man.
2. Sentro ng kaharian,
Ang Kanyang luklukan,
Diyos lamang dapat sundin,
Sa Kanyang layunin.
Hari sa kaharian
Kanya na ang tanan
Sadya ang pamunuan,
Kanyang hinawakan.
3. Sa paghahari Ni-ya
Layon Niya ginawa,
Sa pamamahala Niya
Natupad nais Niya.
Tangi sa kaharian,
Pagpapala'y tanto,
Mula sa Kanyang trono,
Daloy buhay mismo.
4. Magpasakop sa Kanya
Lahat buti'y kamtan;
Magrebelde sa Kanya,
Ugat kasalanan.
Layon ng sama't diyablo
Ibagsak ang trono;
Ating layon at lugod,
Sa Diyos magpasakop.
5. Sa kaharian ng Diyos,
Kristo'y hayag lubos;
Sa buhay Siya'y naghari
Ama'y mal'walhati.
Nang Diyos ang namahala,
Lahat pinagpala;
Nang Kristo'y namahala,
Gloria ng Diyos hayag.
6. Pag panahon puspos na,
Kristong Diyos ulo na;
Tanan Siya'y kikilanlin,
Pamuno'y tanggapin.
Magloriang pamahala,
Tikim ng Ekklesia,
Kung pasakop sarili
Kaharia'y dagli.
THE KINGDOM — ITS INNER REIGN
E942* (T942)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. God's Kingdom on the earth is now
His sovereign government within;
'Tis Christ Himself in us to live
As Lord and King to rule and reign.
2. His life with His authority
Enthrones Him now within our hearts
To govern all our words and deeds
And regulate our inward parts.
3. The Lord enthroned within our hearts
His Kingdom doth establish there,
Assuring His full right to reign
And for God's purpose to prepare.
4. 'Tis by His reign within our hearts
That life to us He e'er supplies;
When taking Him as Lord and King,
His wealth our being satisfies.
5. 'Tis by His ruling from within
His fulness vast is testified;
'Tis when His inner kingdom rules
His Body's blessed and edified.
6. 'Tis by His heav'nly rule within
As heav'nly citizens we live;
'Tis by submission to His rule
Expression of His reign we give.
7. Here in this heav'nly realm we live,
And with this heav'nly pow'r possessed
We walk and fight in heav'nly light
Until the Kingdom's manifest.
ANG KAHARIAN — ANG PANLOOB NA PAGHAHARI NITO
T942 (E942)
1. Kaharian ng Diyos ngayon
Sa 'ting loob namahala;
Ipamuhay natin Kristo,
Bilang Hari, Panginoon.
2. Buhay Niyang may awtoridad,
Puso natin iluklok Siya,
Nang ating salita't gawa,
Ating loob iayos Niya.
3. Panginoon itinatag,
Sa 'ting puso kaharian;
Paghahari'y karapatan,
Layon ng Diyos paghandaan.
4. Kanyang paghari sa puso,
Panustos natin buhay Niya.
Kung Hari't Poon Siya sa 'tin,
Yaman Niya'y kasiyahan din.
5. Sa loob Siyang namumuno,
Kapuspusan patotoo;
Panloob na pamumuno,
Katawan maitatayo.
6. Pamumunong makalangit
Pinamumuhay nga natin;
Kanyang pagkahari'y sundin
Ibigay kahayagan din.
7. Namumuhay makalangit,
Taglay lakas makalangit,
Sa liwanag magsilaban
Nang mahayag Kaharian.
THE KINGDOM — ITS REQUIREMENT
E943*
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. Requirements of the Kingdom are
Much stricter than the law's decrees;
No other requisite of God
Has ever higher been than these.
2. "Repent, the Kingdom has come near,"
This is the Kingdom's first demand;
A change of mind we all must have
And on God's side must firmly stand.
3. That we the Kingdom enter in,
Surpassing righteousness we need,
Exceeding that which is of law;
From life alone it must proceed.
4. That we the Kingdom enter in,
We need to do the Father's will,
Not by our choice to work or act
But His one purpose to fulfill.
5. That we the Kingdom enter in,
A simple child we must become—
Adjustable, obedient, meek—
And everything of self o'ercome.
6. The Heav'nly Kingdom e'en requires
That we as God should perfect be;
This standard we must fully meet
That we may share its ecstasy.
7. The Kingdom is the reign of God;
To match His nature is required;
'Tis only by the life of God
The Kingdom's entry is acquired.
8. The Kingdom is the rule of heav'n;
With heaven's state we must accord;
'Tis only by the life of heav'n
That we may share it with the Lord.
THE KINGDOM — ITS REALITY
E944* (T944) (C-748)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. The essence of the Kingdom is
A life that's under heaven's rule,
A life whose nature is divine
With Christ experienced in full.
2. Such is this life: in spirit poor,
With heart repentant, mourning, meek,
Which is to others merciful
And purely God Himself doth seek;
3. As sons of God the peace to make,
For righteousness e'en suffering pain;
Reviled and hurt for Jesus' sake,
Exceeding joyfulness to gain;
4. As salt to kill corruption rife,
In darkness shining as the light,
In heart and action right and true,
In perfect love to claim no right.
5. This life self-glory doth renounce
And ever for God's kingdom prays;
It trusts in God for every need
And seeks His kingdom first always.
6. 'Tis strict with self, with others kind,
And always dealing with the Lord;
It ever does the Father's will
And acts according to His word.
7. To Satan it does not give ground,
Nor to the world, or self, or sin,
But seeks beneath the heaven's rule
God's full authority to win.
8. 'Tis such a life which subjugates
All things with pow'r to God's behest;
The time it hastens when the Lord
Will here His kingdom manifest.
ANG KAHARIAN — ANG REALIDAD NITO
T944 (E944)
1. Esensya ng Kaharian,
Buhay na nagpapasakop
Kalikasan ay dibino
Maranasan ganap Kristo.
2. Gayong buhay Kaharian
'Spiritu'y may karukhaan,
Puso'y nagsisi't maamo,
Diyos Mismo nais matamo.
3. Tayong mga anak ng Diyos
Kapayapaan ginawa,
Magbata para kat'wiran;
Tamo'y higit kagalakan.
4. Asin kitlin kasamaan,
Ilaw sinag sa karimlan;
Puso't pagkilos ay wasto
May pag-ibig na totoo!
5. Di sarili l'walhatiin,
Kaharian idalangin;
Sa Diyos lubos umaasa,
Kaharian inuuna.
6. Sa sarili'y mahigpit nga,
Sa iba ay may biyaya;
Gawin ang pasya ng Ama,
Ayunan Kanyang salita.
7. Satanas di-bigyang-puwang,
Ni mundo, sarili't sala;
Pamumunong langit sundin
Awtoridad ng Diyos kamtin.
8. Buhay nagpasukong lubos
Nang dahil sa lakas ng Diyos;
Pinadali pagbalik Niya,
Kaharia'y mapakita.
THE KINGDOM — ITS OUTWARD APPEARANCE
E945* (T945)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. The Son of God has come to sow
Himself, the seed of life, in man,
That thru Himself God's Kingdom grow
And thus fulfill th' eternal plan.
2. He was the only grain of wheat
Whence many grains have been produced
To be the Kingdom's children meet,
Thru whom God's reign is introduced.
3. But Satan, enemy of God,
Sowed many tares among the wheat,
The Kingdom's children to confuse,
And awful damage to create.
4. 'Tis by this subtle work of his,
The mixing of the tares with wheat,
The Kingdom in appearance is
Abnormal and grotesquely great.
5. The Kingdom should as mustard be,
A little herb, yet good for food,
But it has changed into a "tree,"
A system of great magnitude.
6. Instead of being good for food,
A lodge of "birds" it has become;
'Tis now a place where evil men
And evil spirits make their home.
7. A great religion of the world
Its outward form to us reveals,
Including pagan, evil things,
As leaven mingled with the meal.
8. A system of the world as such,
It thus has changed in outward form;
By evil things which it imbibes,
Corruption inwardly doth swarm.
9. But something hidden God doth seek,
As "pearl" and "treasure in the field";
As such the Lord would us transform
That pearl and treasure be revealed.
10. 'Tis hidden from vast Christendom
And from the Kingdom's great facade,
Yet in its full reality
'Tis transformed like to Christ and God.
11. Lord, separate us from the "tares,"
And save us from the monstrous "tree";
From all the "leaven" purge us now
That we may purely be of Thee.
12. May Thou in life transform our souls
That we as precious stones may be,
Meet for Thy house to build and in
Thy Kingdom's full reality.
ANG KAHARIAN — ANG PANLABAS NA ANYO NITO
T945 (E945)
1. Ang Anak ng Diyos nagpunla
Binhing buhay sa tao nga,
Nang Kaharian lumago
At matupad Kanyang plano.
2. Isang butil ng trigo Siya
Marami Kanyang binunga
Sa anak ng Kaharian
Diyos may kapamahalaan.
3. Nguni't naghasik ang Diyablo
Sa gitna ng mga trigo
Mga mapanirang damo.
Mga anak ay nilito.
4. Tusong gawain ng Diyablo
Ang damo't trigo'y hinalo,
Ang anyo ng Kaharian
Di-normal, may kalakihan.
5. Kaharian tulad sana
Maliit gulay mustasa
Nguni't naging isang "puno,"
Sistemang labis ang lago.
6. Sa halip na pagkain na,
Mga "ibon" ang tumira;
Lugar ng masamang tao
At masasamang 'spiritu.
7. Pangmundong relihiyon nga
Labas na anyo nakita
Bagay masama't pagano
Lebadurang naihalo.
8. Sistema ngang makamundo,
Anyong panlabas nabago;
Pagsipsip bagay masama,
Tiwaling panloob dagsa.
9. Nguni't Diyos hanap ay kubli
"Perlas" at "yaman sa bukid";
Kanya tayong transpormahin
Perlas, yaman Kanyang kamtin.
10. Nakubli sa Kristiyanismo
Maging sa harapang anyo
Nguni't sa realidad niya,
Kay Kristo't sa Diyos kagaya.
11. Ihiwalay, iligtas Mo,
Kami sa "damo" at "puno"
"Lebadura" alisin na
Sa Iyo mapadalisay nga.
12. Transpormahin ng buhay Mo
Maging mahalagang bato,
Maitayo Mo tahanan
Realidad Kaharian.
THE KINGDOM — ITS MANIFESTATION
E946* (T946) (C-749)
<IP_ADDRESS>.D.
1. Lo, the glory! Lo, the splendor!
Heaven's Kingdom manifest!
And its glorious King, our Master,
Is by God's appointment blest.
Once in flesh He came so lowly,
Hated and despised by man;
Now He comes again in glory
To fulfill the Kingdom plan.
2. Going to receive the Kingdom
From His God, the Ancient of Days,
Now He cometh with the Kingdom
And its glorious, ruling rays.
He's "the Stone" which breaks the nations
Into pieces lowliest,
Which "a mountain great" becometh
As the Kingdom manifest.
3. Lo, the earth, all lands and kingdoms,
By the Lord and Christ possessed;
Earth beneath their sovereign ruling
Will be full of peace and rest.
No more war and no more hatred
'Twixt the nations will there be;
But God's knowledge shall suffuse them
As the waters fill the sea.
4. All the Christian overcomers
Shall with Christ in glory reign,
And the remnant saved of Israel
Then God's priesthood shall obtain.
As God's people shall the nations
'Neath their rule and teaching be,
And a glorious restoration
All creation then shall see.
5. Satan will be bound and banished;
From his rule will earth be freed;
With Christ's sovereign reign and headship
Earth will then be blessed indeed.
All to Christ will then be subject,
To His pow'r and to His will;
As the Head and Center glorious,
He God's purpose will fulfill.
ANG KAHARIAN — ANG PAGPAPAKITA NITO
T946 (E946)
1. Masdan gloria! Masdan ganda!
Kaharian hayag na!
At ang mal'walhating Hari,
Takda ng Diyos at pili.
Dumating minsan sa laman,
Dinusta, kinam'hian
Muli darating sa gloria,
Kaharian tupdin na.
2. Tatanggapin Kaharian
Sa Diyos na Sinauna
Ang Kaharian kasama
Maliwanag may gloria;
"Batong" dudurog sa bansa
Tanging bansa'y mawala
Magiging "bundok dakila"
Kaharian makita.
3. O mga bansa at lupa
Inari ni Kristo na;
Lupa may kapayapaan
Sa Kanyang kaharian.
Wala nang digma at muhi
Sa bawa't bansa't lahi
Kundi kaalaman ng Diyos
Sa kanila'y pupuspos.
4. Mandaraig na Kristiyano,
Kasamang hari Kristo.
Saserdote ng Diyos naman
Naligtas na Israel
Mga bansa'y mamamayan
Kanilang pagharian
Panumbalik na maringal,
Sa sangnilikha'y tanghal.
5. Satanas matalian na,
Ang lupa malaya na;
Si Kristo ay maghahari
Pagpapala'y darami
Kay Kristo pasasakop nga,
Sa kapangyarihan Niya
Ulo't Sentrong maringal Siya,
Layon ng Diyos tupad Niya.
THE KINGDOM — AS AN EXERCISE AND A REWARD
E947* (T947) (C-751)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. God's Kingdom today is a real exercise,
But when Christ comes to reign it will be a great prize;
It is wisdom divine that we now may be trained
That His plan be fulfilled and His justice maintained.
2. God's children, we're born to be kings with His Son,
And we need to be trained that we may overcome
And to know how to rule in His kingdom as kings,
That His kingship thru us be expressed o'er all things.
3. Today we must learn to submit to His throne,
How to have a strict life and His government own;
His authority then we'll be able to share,
O'er the nations to rule with God's Son as the heir.
4. With a life strict to self we must righteousness hold,
Kind to others in peace, and with God joyful, bold;
In the Kingdom's reality e'er to remain,
For its manifestation prepared thus to reign.
5. Then Christ when He comes with the kingdom from God
Will to us grant His kingship to share as reward;
Thus the Lord will His righteousness thru us maintain
And His wisdom to heavenly powers make plain.
6. For this the Apostle pressed on at all cost,
For the Kingdom assured that he would not be lost;
'Tis for this he charged others, Be true to the Lord,
That the Kingdom might be unto them a reward.
7. O Lord, give us grace for Thy Kingdom to live,
To be trained that Thou may the reward to us give;
Make the Kingdom's reality our exercise,
That its manifestation may be our great prize.
ANG KAHARIAN — BILANG ISANG PAG-EENSAYO AT ISANG GANTIMPALA
T947 (E947)
1. Kaharian ngayon ay pagsasanay,
Sa hinaharap, gantimpala ay taglay;
Karunungan ng Diyos ang sanayin tayo,
Upang Siya'y mahayag at matupad plano.
2. Bilang anak ng Diyos, tayo ay laan,
Magharing sama-sama sa kaharian;
Sa paghari kailangan nating masanay,
Upang Siya'y maghari sa lahat ng bagay.
3. Dapat tayong magpasakop sa Kanya,
Hayaang Siya ang mamuno at magpasya;
Sa awtoridad Niya'y makakabahagi,
Sa mga bansa, kasama Niyang maghari.
4. Matuwid at mahigpit sa sarili,
Maamo sa kapwa, sa Diyos galak lagi;
Sa Kahariang realidad maglagi,
Upang sa kahayaga'y handang maghari.
5. Pagbalik ni Kristo upang maghari,
Kasama Niya sa trono ating bahagi;
Dahil sa atin kat'wiran Niya'y mahayag,
Dibinong karunungan Niya'y maitanyag.
6. Apostol nagtumulin sa hangganan,
Nalugi upang matamo Kaharian;
Matapat kay Hesus, tayo'y inatasan,
Nang sa Kaharian magantimpalaan.
7. Sa Kaharian, kami'y biyayaan,
Masanay upang gantimpala'y makamtan,
Tuparin realidad ng Kaharian,
Gantimpala'y mismong kanyang kahayagan.

Is this the grace which He for me has won?
Father of glory — thought beyond all thought!—
In glory, to His own blest likeness brought!
2. Oh, Jesus, Lord, who loved me like to Thee?
Fruit of Thy work, with Thee, too, there to see
Thy glory, Lord, while endless ages roll,
Myself the prize and travail of Thy soul.
3. Yet it must be: Thy love had not its rest
Were Thy redeemed not with Thee fully blest;
That love that gives not as the world, but shares
All it possesses with its loved co-heirs.
4. Nor I alone; Thy loved ones, all complete
In glory, round Thee there with joy shall meet,
All like Thee, for Thy glory like Thee, Lord,
Object supreme of all, by all adored.

And by the world disowned,
By the many still neglected,
And by the few enthroned;
But soon He'll come in glory!

1. There's a light upon the mountains,
And the day is at the spring,
When our eyes shall see the beauty
And the glory of the King:
Weary was our heart with waiting,
And the night-watch seemed so long,
But His triumph-day is breaking
And we hail it with a song.
2. In the fading of the starlight
We can see the coming morn;
And the lights of men are paling
In the splendors of the dawn;
For the eastern skies are glowing
As with lights of hidden fire,
And the hearts of men are stirring
With the throb of deep desire.
3. There's a hush of expectation,
And a quiet in the air;
And the breath of God is moving
In the fervent breath of prayer;
For the suffering, dying Jesus
Is the Christ upon the throne,
And the travail of our spirit
Is the travail of His own.
4. He is breaking down the barriers,
He is casting up the way;
He is calling for His angels
To build up the gates of day;
But His angels here are human,
not the shining hosts above,
For the drum-beats of His army
Are the heart-beats of our love.
5. Hark! we hear a distant music,
and it comes with fuller swell;
'Tis the triumph song of Jesus,
of our King Emmanuel;
Zion, go ye forth to meet Him,
and my soul, be swift to bring
All thy sweetest and thy dearest
For the triumph of our King.

1. Since long ago at Bethany we parted,
Within my heart there is a ceaseless void;
How can I take my harp down from the willow?
How can my songs without Thee be enjoyed?
And when at night I'm keeping lonely vigil—
Grown numb alike to sorrow and to cheer—
Then I recall the promise of Thy coming,
But sigh: O Lord, why, why Thou dost not yet appear?
2. Thy manger wakes the thought: I too am homeless;
Thy cross strips earthly pleasures from my soul;
Thy coming bids me seek a better country,
For Thou Thyself art now my final goal.
Since Thou art gone my joy has lost its flavor,
My song the sweetness I would fain convey.
Since Thou art gone the sense of void o'erwhelms me.
Oh, how I long that Thou wilt come and not delay.
3. Though even now I know Thy loving presence,
Yet in my heart there's still a sense of lack.
Enlightening and tenderest sustaining
Can no more satisfy: I want Thee back.
Despite Thy peace within, I still feel lonely;
Despite Thy joy there still remains a sigh;
When I feel most content, the silent yearning
To see Thee face to face becomes an uttered cry.
4. What exile cannot but desire his homeland
And long his people once again to greet?
What soul on alien soil forgets his kindred?
What parted lovers never yearn to meet?
O Lord, how can these earthly loves and pleasures
With all the joy of Thy return compare?
Then, if I cannot here behold Thy countenance,
What can I do but sigh till Thou, my Lord, appear?
5. Could'st Thou, O Lord, forget Thy word of promise
Soon to return and take me unto Thee?
Yet day by day and year by year I've waited
And still I wait, and no return I see!
Remember, Lord, the years I have been waiting
While Thy dear footsteps linger far away.
How long? How long? Oh! must I wait still longer
Till Thou shalt come again in glorious array?
6. From generation unto generation
Thy saints have come and gone, but have not seen
Thy glorious promise pass into fulfillment.
How long, how very long the time has been!
Why cannot we, dear Lord, discern Thy footsteps?
Why are the heavens still so closely sealed?
Oh! must our waiting be prolonged still further
Before Thou in Thy matchless splendor art revealed?
7. Lord, I recall the many years I've waited
For Thy return — yet, Lord, not I alone,
But Thy dear saints through many generations—
Beseeching Thee to come back for Thine own.
To countless tears and countless fervent pleadings,
By Thine appearing haste to make reply.
Oh, may Thou come, the echo of the ages,
Come, come and answer now this mighty corp'rate cry!

Nahungkag puso kong tuluy-tuloy;
Paano ko tutugtugin ang alpa?
Kung wala Ka awit di-tamasa.
Sa gabi nag-iisang nagpupuyat.
Namanhid sa pighati o galak,
Nagunita pangako mong babalik
Bakit di ka pa nagpapakita? Bakit?
2. Diwa ko'y pinukaw ng Iyong sabsaban
Na ako ay wala ring tahanan
Krus pawi sa kalul'wa mundong saya
Hangad Ikaw, layong walang hanggan.
Nawalan ng galak nang lumisan Ka,
Tamis ng awit ko ay nawala.

Nawa bumalik Ka na't huwag mag-antala.

Subali't sa puso ko'y kulang pa.

Dama'y lungkot at buntung-hininga
Kung makuntento tahimik na daing
Makita Kang mukhaan ang aking hiling.

Di ba'y hangad muling magbatian?

Kung hindi ko mamasdan ang Iyong mukha
Magbuntung-hininga hanggang dumating Ka.

All our desire is Thy promised returning,

Everything here has been tasteless and dry;

For I am longing for Thy loving face.
Come Thou, come now;
Lord, for Thy coming we yearn;
All our desire is Thy promised returning,
Oh, may Thou quickly return.
4. Lord, we're impatient awaiting Thy coming,
We do not know how much longer 'twill be;
From every sunrise to every bright sunset
Hope we each moment Thy coming to see.
Come Thou, come now;
Lord, for Thy coming we yearn;
All our desire is Thy promised returning,
Oh, may Thou quickly return.
5. Whene'er 'tis raining, or strong winds are blowing,
Whene'er the moon shines, or rises the sea,
We ever hope to discover Thy coming;
How disappointed when no sign of Thee!
Come Thou, come now;
Lord, for Thy coming we yearn;
All our desire is Thy promised returning,
Oh, may Thou quickly return.
6. If it were not for the bidding Thou gav'st us,
We'd be discouraged, Thy service we'd shirk;
But Thou dost want us while waiting Thy coming,
For Thee to live and in diligence work.
Come Thou, come now;
Lord, for Thy coming we yearn;
All our desire is Thy promised returning,
Oh, may Thou quickly return.
7. Oh Lord, remember the days have been lengthened
Since Thou hast promised ere going away;
We hope and hope and are endlessly hoping,
That Thou wilt come. Canst Thou come e'en today?
Come Thou, come now;
Lord, for Thy coming we yearn;
All our desire is Thy promised returning,
Oh, may Thou quickly return.

1. My King will soon come back again,
The sky be filled with Him;
The universe to be redeemed
Will see His light therein.
The Lord will soon fulfill His plan,
His footsteps now I hear;
His glorious frame I faintly see
Beginning to appear.
2. I'm longing for His presence blest
And dare not slothful be
While waiting for my Lord's return,
His own dear self to see.
My only hope — that He may come
And change my faith to sight;
There is no other joy on earth
Which gives my heart delight.
3. My heart is always with Himself,
My eyes are heavenward,
My lips would utter nothing else
Than meeting with my Lord.
The coming of the Lord draws nigh,
His coming is for me;
His promise ever standeth firm
And soon fulfilled I'll see.
4. My Savior, all Thy holy words
Can never doubted be;
With them encouraged day by day,
I'm faithful unto Thee.
Oh, may Thy glory soon appear,
The foe be overthrown;
Thy promises be realized,
And we brought to Thy throne.
5. Thy saving arm a refuge is,
My Savior God, to me;
Thou as the Father keepeth them
Who put their trust in Thee.
The sheep and shepherd are of one,
The head and body same;
None e'er can pluck from out Thy hand
The child who trusts Thy Name.
6. A thousand hands won't hinder me,
Nor will ten thousand eyes;
The thorns upon the road but help
Me onward to the prize.
Arise, my spirit and my heart,
And let the world go by;
The Lord of life will take me soon
To be with Him on high.
7. Thou healing sun! Thou hope of man!
I really love Thy ray.

I bow to Thee and pray:
Oh, may Thou soon ascend Thy throne
And quickly show Thy face;
Thy heav'nly kingdom may Thou found
And grant all men Thy grace.
8. The truth should triumph and be king,
And freedom should be queen;
But falsehood, which has rampant run,
Head of the world is seen.
We ask Thee, Truth, to quickly come
And bring Thy light from heav'n;
The foe be crushed and all Thy sons
Into Thy bosom giv'n.

1. Hari ko'y babalik muli,
Langit pinuspos Niya;
Sangnilikha'y mababawi,
Sa kaligtasan Niya.
Ang yapak Niya'y narinig ko
Sa gitna ng ulap;
Kanyang mal'walhating anyo
Sa langit kumislap.
2. Sabik ako sa "parousia,"
Di ako pabaya;
Hinihintay pagbalik Niya,
Anong pagpapala.
Maliban sa pagdating Niya,
At Siya'y makasama,
Wala nang ibang ligaya,
Na magpapasaya.
3. Mata ko'y lagi Siyang tingnan,
Puso ko'y sa langit,
Paksa ng labi ko naman
Ang Kanyang pagsapit.
Malapit nang pumarito,
Nang dahil sa akin;
Tiyak ang Kanyang pangako,
Hindi sinungaling.
4. Hesus, banal Mong Salita,
'Di mapagdudahan;
Araw-araw Iyong Salita,
Aking kalakasan.
Nawa'y maagang dumating,
Kaaway puksain;
Pangako'y agad tuparin,
At kami'y Iyong kunin.
5. Bisig Mo ay kanlungan ko,
Tagapagligtas ko!
Sila'y nagtiwala sa Iyo,
Ama, ingatan Mo.
Tupa't pastol kasing-inam,
Ulo't katawan pa,
Hindi maagaw ninuman
Sa kamay ng Ama.
6. 'Sanlibong kamay at mata,
Hindi makahadlang;
Mga tinik ay tulong nga
Nang pala'y makamtan.
Puso, espiritu, gising!
Mundo'y pabayaan,
Panginoon ay darating,
Ako'y puputungan.
7. Araw Ka ng kagalingan,
Nais ko ang sinag;
Haring mat'wid, mal'walhati,
Kami'y nagpupuri.
Umakyat Ka sa luklukan,
Nawa'y ipakita,
Mukha Mo at kaharian,
Lubos na biyaya.
8. Hari ang katotohanan,
Kalayaa'y reyna;
Nguni't ang kabulaanan
Sa mundo'y nanguna.

Dalhin ang liwanag;
Lipulin Mo ang kalaban,
Kunin mga anak.

1. The Church has waited long,
Her absent Lord to see,
And still in loneliness she waits,
A friendless stranger she.
Age after age has gone,
Sun after sun has set,
And still in weeds of widowhood,
She weeps a mourner yet.
2. Saint after saint on earth
Has lived, and loved, and died;
And as they left us one by one,
We laid them side by side;
We laid them down to sleep,
But not in hope forlorn;
We laid them but to ripen there,
Till the last glorious morn.
3. The serpent's brood increase,
The powers of hell grow bold,
The conflict thickens, faith is low,
And love is waxing cold.
How long, O Lord our God,
Holy, and true, and good,
Wilt Thou not judge Thy suffering Church,
Her sighs, and tears, and blood?
4. We long to hear Thy voice,
To see Thee face to face,
To share Thy crown and glory then,
As now we share Thy grace.
Should not the loving bride
Her absent bridegroom mourn?
Should she not wear the signs of grief
Until her Lord return?
5. The whole creation groans,
And waits to hear that voice
That shall her beauteousness restore,
And make her wastes rejoice.
Come, Lord, and wipe away
The curse, the sin, the stain,
And make this blighted world of ours
Thine own fair world again.

Face to face I shall behold Him,
Far beyond the starry sky;
Face to face in all His glory,
I shall see Him by and by!

With the darkling veil between,
But a blessed day is coming,
When His glory shall be seen.
Face to face I shall behold Him,

When are banished grief and pain;
When the crooked ways are straightened,
And the dark things shall be plain.

4. Face to face! O blissful moment!

Christ for me is watching, waiting,
Waiting 'til I come.
2. Long the blessed Guide has led me,
By the desert road;
Now I see the coming splendor,
Splendor of my God.
There amidst the love and glory
He is waiting yet;
On His hands a name is graven
He can ne'er forget.
3. Who is this, who comes to meet me,
On the desert way,
As the Morning Star foretelling
God's unclouded day?
He it is who came to win me,
On the cross of shame;
In His glory well I know Him,
Evermore the same.
4. O the blessed joy of meeting,
All the desert past;
O the wondrous words of greeting,
He shall speak at last!
He and I together ent'ring
The fair realm above;
He and I together sharing
All the Father's love.
5. Where no shade nor stain can enter,
Nor the gold be dim,
In His holiness unsullied,
I shall walk with Him.
Meet companion then for Jesus,
From Him, for Him, made—
Glory of God's grace forever
There in me displayed.
6. He who in His hour of sorrow
Bore the curse alone;
I who through the lonely desert
Trod where He had gone;
He and I, in that bright glory,
One deep joy shall share—
Mine, to be forever with Him;
His, that I am there.

Hear we not Thy golden bells?

Ringing out our love to Thee,
Pouring out our rapture sweet
At Thine own all-glorious feet.

We are witnesses for this;
While rememb'ring hearts Thou meetest
In communion clearest, sweetest,
Earnest of our coming bliss,
Showing not Thy death alone,
And Thy love exceeding great,
But Thy coming and Thy throne,
All for which we long and wait.

And love, joy, hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth:
Before Him on the mountains
Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.
3. Kings shall fall down before Him,
And gold and incense bring;
All nations shall adore Him,
His praise all people sing;
For He shall have dominion
O'er river, sea, and shore,
Far as the eagle's pinion,
Or dove's light wing can soar.
4. To Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;

A seed in weakness sown,
Whose fruit shall spread and flourish,
And shake like Lebanon.

He on His throne shall rest,
From age to age more glorious,

Shout to the saints, and to the deaf and dumb;
Surely He cometh, and the earth rejoices,
Glad in His coming who hath sworn: I come!

This shall He do, and can we still despair?
Come, let us quickly fling ourselves before Him,
Cast at His feet the burden of our care.

Whence doth flow the stream of life

Yielding fruit of life divine

7. Kristo'y puno ng buhay,
Kabilaan ng ilog,
Bungang dibinong buhay
Ay sa ikabubusog.
8. Diyos kay Kristo'y siyang ilaw,
Sa lunsod nagliwanag,
Kadilima'y pumanaw
Sa dibinong pagsinag.
9. Diyos sa tao, tao't Diyos,
Nanahang isa't isa;
Tao'y sinidlan ng Diyos
Diyos sa tao'y makita.
ULTIMATE MANIFESTATION — OUR GOAL

1. Our goal — the holy city with the Lord,
It is our portion, 'tis where He's adored;
Although our bodies still are living here,
Our spirits with our glorious Lord are there;
Our spirits with our glorious Lord are there.
2. Our goal divine — the new Jerusalem—
That holy city made for God with men;
For all redeemed, who have Thy pathway trod,
Shall have the right to share the bliss with God,
Shall have the right to share the bliss with God.
3. And every time we toward that city gaze,
Then every time we long to see Thy face;
We long to hear the shout that calls to Thee,
With Thee to share Thy God eternally,
With Thee to share Thy God eternally.
4. Our heart's desire is not the peace so sweet,
Our longed for hope is not the joy we'll meet;
But Thou Thyself, Thou art "our hope," O Lord,
For 'tis Thyself that will be our reward,
For 'tis Thyself that will be our reward.
5. O Jesus, Lord, we pray Thee hear our cry,
Come! Bring us to that city from on high!
That in that glory we may share with Thee,
Thy loving Self partake eternally,
Thy loving Self partake eternally.
6. O Lord, Thou sayest, "I make all things new,"
New heav'ns, new earth, and all within them too!
Our God Himself our portion then shall be;
O Lord, come quickly! Take us up with Thee,
O Lord, come quickly! Take us up with Thee.

1. Banal na lunsod at Panginoon,
Maluwalhating bahagi't layon;
Buhay man ating katawan dito
Kasama Niya espiritu roon,
Kasama Niya espiritu roon.
2. Bagong Herusalem, hangad ng Diyos,
Banal na lunsod ng Diyos at tao;
Mga banal sa dugo'y tinubos,
May bahaging matamasa rito,
May bahaging matamasa rito.
3. Banal na lunsod, t'wing ating masdan,
Nais makita mukha ni Hesus;
Tawag Niya sana'y mapakikinggan,
Sa lunsod matamasa Siyang lubos,
Sa lunsod matamasa Siyang lubos.
4. Hangad ko'y hindi kapahingahan,
Pag-asa ko'y hindi kagalakan,
Kundi Pangin'on, "aming pag-asa,"
Ang bahagi ko at gantimpala,
Ang bahagi ko at gantimpala.
5. Panginoon, dinggin dalangin ko,
Dalhin kami sa bayan na yaon!
Nang sa l'walhati kabahagi Mo,
Walang hanggang makabahagi Ka,
Walang hanggang makabahagi Ka.
6. "Lahat ng bagay ay pawang bago,"
Bagong langit, lupa't tanang bagay!
Maging bahagi nati'y Diyos Mismo,
Bumalik agad, kami'y isama,
Bumalik agad, kami'y isama.

1. He looked for a city and lived in a tent,
A pilgrim to glory right onward he went;
God's promise his solace, so royal his birth,
No wonder he sought not the glories of earth.
City! O city fair!
God's dwelling with man to eternity is there.
2. He looked for a city, his God should prepare;
No mansion on earth, could he covet or share,
For had not God told him, that royal abode
Awaited His pilgrims on ending the road.
City! O city fair!
God's dwelling with man to eternity is there.
3. He looked for a city; if sometimes he sighed
To be trudging the road, all earth's glory denied,
The thought of that city changed sighing to song,
For the road might be rough, but it could not be long.
City! O city fair!
God's dwelling with man to eternity is there.
4. He looked for a city, his goal, Lord, we share
And know that bright city, which Thou dost prepare
Is ever our portion, since willing to be
Just pilgrims with Jesus, our roof a tent tree.
City! O city fair!
God's dwelling with man to eternity is there.

Lakbay niya ay 'tungong kal'walhatian;
Pangako ng Diyos ang kaaliwan niya,
Hinangad niya'y 'di makamundong rangya.
Lunsod! O kay inam!

ULTIMATE MANIFESTATION — THE HOLY CITY
E975* (T975) (C-774)
<IP_ADDRESS>.
1. It was a garden in the primal age,
But at the end it is a city square;
Creation's center in the garden was,
God's building issues in the city fair.
2. Both in the garden and the city fair
A river and the tree of life are seen,
Christ typifying as the life supply,
The Spirit showing as the living stream.
3. Both in the garden and the city bright
Three kinds of precious substances are found;
There are the gold, the pearls, and precious stones
Which for the building work of God abound.
4. But in the garden all these precious things
Are just materials lying in the earth,
Yet in the city all are builded up
And form that dwelling of transcendent worth.
5. Man in the garden of the clay was formed,
In nature as the Lord created him;
The tree of life was then without the man,
Not having yet become his life within.
6. But in the city glorious the tree
Within the corporate "man" doth grow, thereby
Revealing Christ Himself as life divine
Being to man his inward life supply.
7. 'Tis for the city man is wrought upon,
Therefore regenerated and transformed
To purest gold, to pearls and precious stones,
As Christ's own Body, to Himself conformed.
8. Within the garden also was a bride,
Who was to Adam as his counterpart;
Lastly, the city is itself the bride
As Christ's own fulness, precious to His heart.
9. The city is God's building work replete,
A composition of the justified;
A habitation it affords to God
And is to Christ His own beloved bride.
10. 'Tis God's expression, ultimate and full,
Corporate and universal, marvelous;
God's glory it completely manifests,
And is Christ's counterpart most glorious.

1. Sa simula isang hardin ito,
Sa huli naging lunsod kwadrado;
Ang halamanan Diyos ang naglalang,
Lunsod naging pagtatayo naman.
2. Maging sa halamanan o lunsod,
Puno't ilog ng buhay siyang lugod;
Ilog sagisag ng Espiritu,
Tustos ng buhay, puno'y si Kristo.
3. Kapwa sa hardin at lunsod banal,
Matagpuan tatlong bagay mahal;
Ginto, perlas, mahalagang bato,
Lahat ay para sa pagtatayo.
4. Ang tatlong bagay sa halamanan,
Nagkalat do'n na materyal lamang;
Sa lunsod naitayo nang lahat
Bilang tahanan Niya't Diyos ihayag.
5. Ang tao'y luwad sa halamanan,
Makalupa walang l'walhati man;
Puno ng buhay, nasa labas niya,
Hindi pa naging buhay sa kanya.
6. Sa mal'walhating lunsod ang puno,
Paglago'y sa sama-samang tao,
Hinayag Kristo'y buhay dibino,
Nang magtustos ng buhay sa tao.
7. Para sa lunsod, tao'y nilikha,
Maisilang muli't matransporma;
Maging ginto, perlas, batong mahal,
Bilang Katawan Niya't wangis tanghal.
8. Sa loob ng hardin ay ang nobya,
Para kay Adam, kapareha Niya;
Kasintahang-babae ang lunsod,
Kapuspusan ni Kristo at lugod.
9. Ang kumpletong pagtatayo ng Diyos,
Binuo ng paghahalong lubos;
Ng mga banal at ng Diyos Mismo,
Siyang tahanan Niya't nobya ni Kristo.
10. Kahayagan ng Diyos sa sukdulan,
Ang pansansinukob na samahan;
Tres-unong Diyos niluwalhati niya,
Kapareha ni Kristo sa gloria!

Are Thy Body and Thy Bride;
As Thy fulness, Thine expression,
In her Thou art glorified.

Lo, the holy city,
Full of God's bright glory!
It is God's complete expression
In humanity.
2. God with man completely blended,
Mystery of godliness,
God in glory, full, resplendent,
Man, His dwelling, doth express.
'Tis a vessel universal
All God's fulness to express;
All His beauty manifesting,
Mingled with His holiness.
Lo, the holy city,
Full of God's bright glory!
It is God's complete expression
In humanity.
3. 'Tis a living composition
Of the saints He hath transformed;
As the pearls and stones most precious,
To His image they're conformed:
From the throne of God, its center,
Flows the living water free;
Christ the tree of life doth flourish,
Bearing fruit abundantly.
Lo, the holy city,
Full of God's bright glory!
It is God's complete expression
In humanity.
4. 'Tis th' eternal golden lampstand,
Holding Christ, the lamp of light;
God in Christ the light of glory
As the Spirit shineth bright!
'Tis the ultimate expression—
Man in God and God in man;
'Tis their mutual habitation,
Goal of God's eternal plan.
Lo, the holy city,
Full of God's bright glory!
It is God's complete expression
In humanity.

1. Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Holy city of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for His own abode;
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2. See the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy blessed members,
And all fear of want remove;
Who can faint, when such a river
Ever flows their thirst t' assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age.
3. Blest constituents of Zion,
Washed in the Redeemer's blood;
Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
Makes them kings and priests to God.
'Tis His love His people raises
Over self to reign as kings:
And as priests, His worthy praises,
Each his thankful offering brings.
4. Savior, if of Zion's city
I, through grace, a member am,
Let the world deride or pity—
I will glory in Thy name.
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion's members know.

New Jerusalem lies;
Out of God it has its birth,
With God's radiance thrice.
Lo, God's image it doth bear,
And God's glory it doth share!
And the Lord Himself is there
In that city of God.
2. All the gates are pearls assigned
In the city of gold,
And the street is gold refined
With foundations twelvefold.
Lo, God's image it doth bear,
