A Worldling, wretched, vile and base
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 16:19-31 Lyrics: 1 A Worldling, wretched, vile and base,
Not subject to restraining grace;
But yielded to his lusts and pride,
And set all fear of God aside.
2 Though he had riches laid in store,
Yet no compassion on the poor!
A beggar in a helpless state,
Found no assistance at his gate.
3 The worldling spent his precious days,
In Luxuries, in sports and plays--
While the poor beggar lay distress'd,
With poverty and sores oppress'd.
4 But to them both it proved strange,
To meet with such a sudden change;
The worldling sent to endless pain,
The beggar plac'd with Christ to reign.
5 This is the sinners awful case:
They who neglect the time of grace;
They cry for help, but O too late!
When once they share their lot and fate.
6 The worldlilng pray'd to get relief,
To metigate his pain and grief;
But father Abr'am could not grant
that cooling drop which he did want.
7 If we seek heaven here on earth,
We loose the heav'n of greater worth;
To bear the Cross with Jesus here,
Intitles us to glory there.
8 Dear Saviour, make us truly wise,
All sinful pleasures to despise--
The greatest evil we can do:
That is to choose our heav'n below. Topics: First Sunday after Trinity

Comforted
Author: M. Fraser Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Luke 16:25 First Line: After a long and weary strife Lyrics: 1 After a long and weary strife,
After a struggle ‘twixt death and life,
How sweet to feel the tempest cease,
The angry billows sink to peace,
And perfect calm begin.
2 After the night of darkness here,
After the gloom, the doubt, the fear,
How sweet to hail heav’n’s dawning day,
When ev’ry cloud is rolled away,
And ev’ry eye sees clear.
3 After the din and war of earth,
After its wild, discordant mirth,
How sweet to list the rapt’rous song
That rises from the white robed throng,
Upon the crystal sea.
4 After the heart’s deep agony,
After its yearning for sympathy,
How passing sweet will be the rest
Within the arms, upon the breast,
Of Christ the Comforter. Topics: Comfort - Comforter Used With Tune: [After a long and weary strife]

The rich Man and Lazarus
Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Scripture: Luke 16:25 First Line: In what confusion earth appears Lyrics: 1 In what confusion earth appears,
God's dearest children bath'd in tears;
While they, who heaven itself deride,
Riot in luxury and pride.
2 But patient let my soul attend,
And, ere I censure, view the end;
That end, how different, who can tell?
The wide extremes of heaven and hell.
3 See the red flames around him twine,
Who did in gold and purple shine!
Nor can his tongue one drop obtain
T' allay the scorching of his pain.
4 While round the saint, so poor below,
Full rivers of salvation flow;
On Abram's breast he leans his head,
And banquets on celestial bread.
5 Jesus, my Savior, let me share
The meanest of thy servant's fare;
May I at last approach to taste
The blessings of thy marriage-feast.

Someday (Elliott)
Author: Georgia C. Elliott; Clara M. Brooks Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Luke 16:19-25 First Line: Someday, when God's sweet Spirit Lyrics: 1 Someday, when God’s sweet Spirit,
So loving and so true,
Has taken flight forever,
And calls no more for you,
You’ll see your sin and folly,
And moan in your despair,
But heaven ne’er will open,
Nor answer give your prayer.
2 Someday, when death shall call you
And claim you for its own—
Behind you all is darkness,
Ahead ’tis drear and lone—
If you’ve refused His mercy,
No hopes of heav’n await;
Your soul through endless ages
Shall mourn your doom, “Too late.”
3 Someday, when God’s fierce anger
Falls on this world of sin,
You’ll knock as did the virgins,
But cannot enter in;
Ah, then, with bitter weeping,
From those fair gates of light
You’ll go with other doomed ones,
Down to an awful night.
4 Someday—yes, when forever
The mercy door is closed,
And your lost soul must suffer
Amid eternal woes—
In bitter grief and anguish
You’ll think upon the day,
When trifling with God’s mercy,
You, careless, said, “Someday.” Topics: Warning Used With Tune: [Someday when God's sweet Spirit] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Someday_Elliott); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (462); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Select Hymns, 1911 (544)

Through All the World, a Hungry Christ
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Luke 16:19-22 Lyrics: 1 Through all the world, a hungry Christ
must scavenge far for daily bread,
Must beg the rich for crumb and crust -
we are the rich, the daily fed.
2 Beyond the church, a leper Christ
takes each untouchable by hand,
Gives hope to those who have no trust,
whose stigma is our social brand.
3 In torture cell, a prisoner Christ
for justice and for truth must cry
To free the innocent oppressed
while we at liberty pass by.
4 We do not know you, beggar Christ,
we do not recognize your sores,
We do not see, for we are blind:
forgive us, touch us, make us yours.

Bigger Barns
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Luke 16:19-31 First Line: "Bigger barns are what I need" Lyrics: “Bigger barns are what I need,”
so a rich man said one day.
“From my worries I’ll be free
when my wealth is stored away.”
“Fool!” God said, “Today you’ll die!”
Will that wealth mean anything?
All life’s blessings really lie
in the gifts that wealth can’t bring.
“Bigger barns are what we need
for our money, gadgets, more!”
Lord, we’re tempted to believe
having wealth, we’ll be secure!
Somewhere children cry for food
or to have a doctor’s care.
Can our bigger barns be good
when poor neighbors know despair?
God of love, we long to know
what will make us truly blest.
Jesus taught us long ago
wealth won’t give us peace or rest.
You are our security!
Safe in you, we serve, O Lord.
May we find we’re rich indeed
when we’re sharing with the poor.

"If Only I Had Known"
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Luke 16:19-31 First Line: "If only I had known the cost of human greed Lyrics: “If only I had known the cost of human greed,
Perhaps I would have reached out more to those in need.
But now I see the truth across the great divide!
If only I had known and changed,” the rich man cried.
If only we could see which bargains in the store
Are made in dismal sweatshops that oppress the poor.
For each subsistence wage—each tiny, crippling stitch—
Makes wider the divide between the poor and rich.
And, too, if we could hear a mother’s lullaby;
She’s singing now to calm her hungry toddler’s cry.
For rich ones came one day, took land and water rights,
And left the poor with hopeless days and hungry nights.
If only we could learn what keeps us wanting more:
We build our bigger barns so we’ll feel more secure.
But you alone, O God, give true security;
Possessed by our possessions, we cannot be free.
O Christ, if we could know God’s will for all the earth!
And yet, by your own Spirit, you have shown God’s truth:
“Do justice, help the poor, share life and love and land,
And when you see the hungry, open wide your hand.” Topics: Justice; Wealth and Possessions Used With Tune: LEONI
