He Came Down
Hark, the Voice of Jesus Crying
Author: Daniel March, 1816-1909; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 504 hymnals Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:1 Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus crying,
"Who will go and work today?
Fields are ripe and harvests waiting;
who will bear the sheaves away?"
Loud and long the Master calleth;
rich reward he offers thee.
Who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I, send me, send me"?
2 If you cannot speak like angels,
if you cannot preach like Paul,
you can tell the love of Jesus,
you can say he died for all.
If you cannot rouse the wicked
with the judgment's dread alarms,
you can lead the little children
to the Savior's waiting arms.
3 If you cannot be a watchman,
standing high on Zion's wall,
pointing out the path to heaven,
off'ring life and peace to all,
with your prayers and with your off'rings
you can do what God demands;
you can be like faithful Aaron,
holding up the prophet's hands.
4 Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
while the multitudes are dying,
and the Master calls for you.
Take the task he gives you gladly,
let his work your pleasure be;
answer quickly when he calleth,
"Here am I, send me, send me!" Topics: Witness Used With Tune: GALILEAN

"He knoweth our frame"
Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:13 First Line: Yes, he knows the way is dreary Lyrics: 1 Yes, he knows the way is dreary,
Knows the weakness of our frame,
Knows that hand and heart are weary,
He in all points felt the same.
He is near to help and bless;
Be not weary, onward press.
2 Look to him, who once was willing
All his glory to resign,
That, for thee the law fulfilling,
All his merit might be thine.
Strive to follow, day by day,
Where his footsteps mark the way.
3 Look to him, the Lord of Glory,
Tasting death to win thy life;
Gazing on that wondrous story,
Canst thou falter in the strife?
Is it not new life to know
That the Lord hath loved thee so?
4 Look to him, and faith shall brighten,
Hope shall soar, and love shall burn,
Peace once more thy heart shall lighten;
Rise, he calleth thee, return!
Be not weary on thy way;
Jesus is thy strength and stay. Topics: Assurance Urged; Christ Character of; Christ Sympathy of; Christians Love for Christ; Communion of Saints With Christ Used With Tune: GRANGE

Hold On
Author: John P. Ellis Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:13 First Line: If your hand’s on the plow, hold on, hold on Refrain First Line: Hold on, hold on, my brother, hold on Lyrics: 1 If your hand’s on the plow, hold on, hold on;
Tho’ the soil may be sterile and hard,
The plow share will make
The fallow ground break,
And the plowman will have his reward.
Earth’s bosom will sparkle with emerald green,
And its grain will be golden king;
The reapers will come with loud “Harvest Home,”
And the gleaners will joyfully sing.
Refrain:
Hold on, hold on, my brother, hold on,
Hold on till the prize is won;
Hold on to the plow,
And weary not now,
For the work is almost done.
2 If your heart’s in the work, hold on, hold on;
Tho’ the way should be gloomy and sad,
A light will appear,
The pathway be clear,
And the heart of the worker be glad.
Heav’n’s portals will open, and music resound,
And the mansions of bliss will ring
With praise for the brave, who labor to save,
And the angels will joyfully sing. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [If your hand’s on the plow, hold on, hold on]
Hold On
