How Clear Is Our Vocation
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 First Line: How clear is our vocation, Lord Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call:
to live according to your word,
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are Lord of all,
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear;
if worldly pressures fray the mind,
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care,
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints become
in hindrances more sure,
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your pow’r to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines and ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you.
The cross you hung upon—
all you endeavored done. Topics: Church Leadership; Commissioning Other; Discipleship; Joy; Ordination; Suffering; Vocation Used With Tune: REPTON Text Sources: The Hymns and Ballads of Fred Pratt Green

His Yoke Is Easy
Author: Daniel S. Warner Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:30 First Line: I've found my Lord and He is mine Refrain First Line: His yoke is easy, His burden is light Lyrics: 1 I’ve found my Lord and He is mine,
He won me by His love;
I’ll serve Him all my years of time,
And dwell with Him above.
Refrain:
His yoke is easy, His burden is light,
I’ve found it so, I’ve found it so;
His service is my sweetest delight,
His blessings ever flow.
2 No other Lord but Christ I know,
I walk with Him alone;
His streams of love forever flow,
Within my heart His throne. [Refrain]
3 He’s dearer to my heart than life,
He found me lost in sin;
He calmed the sea of inward strife,
And bade me come to Him. [Refrain]
4 My flesh recoiled before the cross,
And Satan whispered there,
“Thy gain will not repay the loss,
His yoke is hard to bear.” [Refrain]
5 I’ve tried the road of sin and found,
Its prospects all deceive;
I’ve proved the Lord, and joys abound,
More than I could believe.

How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,631 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
and calms the troubled breast;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary rest.
3 Dear name! the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding place,
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace.
4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Husband, Friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but, when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
6 Till then I would thy love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of thy name
refresh my soul in death. Topics: Christ Risen Reign and Priesthood; Our Response to Christ In Devotion; Devotion; Jesus Name; Jesus Names and images for Used With Tune: ST. PETER

How Gentle God's Commands
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 665 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Lyrics: 1 How gentle God's commands,
how kind his precepts are!
Come, cast your burdens on the Lord,
and trust his constant care.
2 Beneath his watchful eye,
his saints securely dwell;
that hand which bears all nature up
shall guide his children well.
3 Why should this anxious load
press down your weary mind?
Haste to your heav'nly Father's throne,
and sweet refreshment find.
4 His goodness stands approved,
down to the present day;
I'll drop my burden at his feet,
and bear a song away.

his word is sure, his promise true.

greet him with joyous eyes,
praise shall his path adorn:
your seers have longed to know their Lord;
to you he comes, the final word.

welcome the heavenly guest
in whom the dawn has come:
he brings a never-ending light
who triumphed o'er our darkest night.

whose hearts have Christ confest,
who by his cross have found their life,
and 'neath his yoke their rest.
2 Glad is the praise, sweet are the songs,
when they together sing;
and strong the prayers that bow the ear
of heaven's eternal King.
3 Christ to their homes giveth his peace,
and makes their loves his own:
but ah, what tares the evil one
hath in his garden sown!
4 Sad were our lot, evil this earth,
did not its sorrows prove
the path whereby the sheep may find
the fold of Jesus' love.
5 Then shall they know, they that love him,
how all their pain is good;
and death itself cannot unbind
their happy brotherhood. Topics: Church nature of; Church Worship; God peace of; Proper 17 Year A; Rest; The Fifth Sunday of Easter Year B; The Fourth Sunday before Advent Year B Used With Tune: BINCHESTER
