2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky,

And called on him to save:

Like him, with pardon on his tongue In midst of mortal pain,

They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their necks the death to
Who follows in their train?

4 A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,

[feel:

He prayed for them that did the wrong: Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,

Who follows in his train?

3 A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came, [knew,
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they
And mocked the cross and flame:

In robes of light arrayed: They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain; O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train.

2 The road to heaven is pure and clean, 3 The road to heaven is free to all

And spotless all who walk therein;
The blood of Christ has been applied,
And sinful hearts are purified.

Who for the Saviour's mercy call;
Who trust the merits of his blood,
And tread the pathway he has trod.

4 The road to heaven is open wide
To those who e'er in Christ abide;
Who feel his love and trust his grace,
And long to see his blessed face.

Weak are the hearts that we lay at thy feet,
Sinful and treacherous; yet, for thy glory,

Heal them, and cleanse them from sin and deceit.— RET.

Take thy great power and reign thou alone,
Over our wills and affections victorious,

Freely surrendered, and wholly thine own. - REF.

1. Christ for the world we sing; The world to Christ we bring With loving zeal; The poor and

them that mourn, The faint and o verborne, Sin-sick and sor-row worn, Whom Christ doth heal.

2 Christ for the world we sing; The world to Christ we bring

With fervent prayer;
The wayward and the lost,
By restless passions tossed,
Redeemed at countless cost

From dark despair.

3 Christ for the world we sing; The world to Christ we bring

With joyful song;

The new-born souls whose days,
Reclaimed from error's ways,
Inspired with hope and praise,
To Christ belong.
