The Joy of a remarkable Conversion; or Melancholy removed
Appears in 200 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 First Line: When God reveal'd his gracious Name Lyrics: 1 When God reveal'd his gracious Name,
And chang'd my mournful State,
My rapture seem'd a pleasing Dream,
The Grace appear'd so Great.
2 The World beheld the glorious Change,
And did thy Hand confess;
My Tongue broke out in unknown Strains,
And sung surprising Grace.
3 "Great is the Work," my Neighbours cry'd,
And own'd the Pow'r Divine;
"Great is the Work," my Heart reply'd,
"And be the Glory thine."
4 The LORD can clear the darkest Skies,
Can give us Day for Night;
Make Drops of sacred Sorrow rise
To Rivers of Delight.
5 Let those that sow in Sadness wait
Till the fair Harvest come,
They shall confess their Sheaves are great,
And shout the Blessings home.
6 Tho' Seed lie bury'd long in Dust;
It shan't deceive their Hope!
The precious Grain can ne'er be lost,
For Grace insures the Crop.

Thou That Goest Forth with Weeping
Author: Thomas Hastings Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 269 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126:5-6 Lyrics: 1 Thou that goest forth with weeping,
Bearing still the precious seed,
Never tiring, never sleeping,
Soon shall see thy toil succeed.
Showers of rain will fall from heaven,
Then the cheering sun will shine;
So shall plenteous fruit be given,
Through an influence all divine.
2 Sow thy seed, be never weary,
Let not fear thy mind employ;
Though the prospect be most dreary,
Thou mayst reap the fruits of joy.
Lo! the scene of verdure brightening,
See the rising grain appear;
Look again! The fields are whitening;
Harvest-time is surely near.

The Time for Toil
Author: Elizabeth Akers Meter: 10.10.10.9.6.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126:6 First Line: The time for toil is past, and night has come Lyrics: 1 The time for toil is past, and night has come,
The last and saddest of the harvest eves;
Worn out with labor long and wearisome,
Drooping and faint, the reapers hasten home,
Each laden with his sheaves,
Each laden with his sheaves.
2 Few, light, and worthless—yet their trifling weight
Thro' all my frame a weary aching leaves;
For long I struggled with my hapless fate,
And staid and toiled till it was dark and late,
Yet these are all my sheaves,
Yet these are all my sheaves.
3 Full well I know I have more tares than wheat,
Brambles and flow'rs, dry stalks and withered leaves;
Wherefore I blush and weep, as at thy feet
I kneel down reverently, and repeat,
"Master, behold my sheaves,"
"Master, behold my sheaves."
4 So do I gather hope and strength anew;
For well I know thy patient love perceives
Not what I did, but what I strove to do—
And though the full ripe ears be sadly few,
Thou wilt accept my sheaves,
Thou wilt accept my sheaves. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Commission Reward for Labor Used With Tune: BRINGING HOME OUR SHEAVES

The Church’s One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 859 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 Lyrics: 1 The church’s one foundation
is Jesus Christ, our Lord;
we are a new creation
by water and the Word.
From heav’n he came and taught us
what perfect love can be;
through life and death he sought us,
and rose to set us free.
2 The church in ev’ry nation
is one through all the earth;
our charter of salvation,
one God, one faith, one birth;
one name together blessing,
one holy food we share,
to one hope ever pressing,
at one in work and prayer.
3 Still, schisms, tribulation,
and hatred fuel our war;
we wait the consummation
of peace forevermore.
The saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 Yet we on earth have union
with God, the Three in One,
and mystic, sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.
Oh, happy ones and holy!
God, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
may live eternally. Topics: Body of Christ; Confessing Faith; Unity; Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Used With Tune: AURELIA Text Sources: Lyra Fidelium, 1866, alt.
