O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee
Author: Washington Gladden Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 589 hymnals Topics: Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 O Master, let me walk with Thee
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me Thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.
2 Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.
3 Teach me Thy patience! still with Thee
In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong;
4 In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broadening way,
In peace that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, O Master, let me live.
Amen. Used With Tune: MARYTON
O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee
That Cause Can Never Be Lost or Stayed
Author: Kristian Ostergaard; J. C. Aaberg Meter: 9.9.10.10 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Life of Discipleship Stewardship and Service; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 That cause can never be lost nor stayed
which takes the course of what God has made,
and is not trusting in walls and towers
but slowly growing from seeds to flowers.
2 Each noble service that we have wrought
was first conceived as a fruitful thought;
each worthy cause with a future glorious
by quietly growing becomes victorious.
3 Thereby itself like a tree it shows:
that high it reaches, as deep it grows;
and, when the storms are its branches shaking,
it deeper root in the soil is taking.
4 Be then no more by a storm dismayed,
for by it the full grown seeds are laid;
and though the tree by its might it shatters,
what then, if thousands of seeds it scatters!
Used With Tune: OSTERGAARD

O let me cheerfully fulfill;
in all my works thy presence find,
and prove thy good and perfect will.
3. Thee may I set at my right hand,
whose eyes mine inmost substance see,
and labor on at thy command,
and offer all my works to thee.
4. For thee delightfully employ
what e'er thy bounteous grace hath given;
and run my course with even joy,
and closely walk with thee to heaven.

Forth in Thy Name, O Lord
All Labor Gained New Dignity
Author: John Oxenham, 1852-1941 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 All labor gained new dignity
Since He who all creation made
Toiled with His hands for daily bread
Right manfully.
2 No work is commonplace, if all
Be done as unto Him alone;
Life's simplest toil to Him is known,
Who knoweth all.
3 Each smallest common thing He makes
Serves Him with its minutest part;
Man only, with his wand'ring heart,
His way forsakes.
4 His service is life's highest joy,
It yields fair fruit a hundredfold,
Be this our prayer--"Not fame, nor gold,
But Thine employ!"
Amen. Used With Tune: ALMSGIVING

Somebody Did a Golden Deed
Author: John R. Clements, 1868-1946 Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 Somebody did a golden deed,
Proving himself a friend in need;
Somebody sang a cheerful song,
Brightening the sky the whole day long,
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you!
2 Somebody thought 'tis sweet to live,
Willingly said, "I'm glad to give;"
Somebody fought a valiant fight,
Bravely he lives to shield the right,
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you!
3 Somebody made a loving gift,
Cheerfully tried load to lift;
Somebody told the love of Christ,
Told how His will was sacrificed,
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you!
4 Somebody filled the days with light,
Constantly chased away the night;
Somebody's work bore joy and peace,
Surely his life shall never cease,
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you!

Master, No Offering
Author: Edwin P. Parker, 1836-1925 Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 Master, no offering,
Costly and sweet,
May we, like Magdalene,
Lay at Thy feet;
Yet may love's incense rise,
Sweeter than sacrifice,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
2 Daily our lives would show
Weakness made strong,
Toilsome and gloomy ways
Brightened with song;
Some deeds of kindness done,
Some souls by patience won,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to thee.
3 Some word of hope for hearts
Burdened with fears,
Some balm of peace for eyes
Blinded with tears:
Some dews of mercy shed,
Some wayward footstep led,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
4 Thus, in Thy service, Lord,
Till eventide
Closes the day of life,
May we abide!
And when earth's labors cease,
Bid us depart in peace,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: LOVE'S OFFERING

To serve the King of kings.

His Kingdom tarries long;
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.
3 Rise up, O men of God!
The Church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up, and make her great!
4 Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where His feet have trod;
As brothers of the Son of man,
Rise up, O men of God!
Amen. Used With Tune: FESTAL SONG

Am I a Soldier of the Cross?
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 1,995 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross?
A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thro' bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.
Amen. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

As Saints of Old
Author: Frank von Christierson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Stewardship and Service First Line: As saints of old their first fruits brought Lyrics: 1 As saints of old their first fruits brought
of vineyard, flock, and field
to God, the giver of all good,
the source of bounteous yield;
so we today our first fruits bring,
the wealth of this good land,
of farm, and market, shop and home,
of mind, and heart, and hand.
2 A world in need now summons us
to labor, love, and give;
to make our life an offering
that others too may live.
The church of Christ is calling us
to make the dream come true:
a world redeemed by Christ-like love;
all life in Christ made new.
3 With gratitude and humble trust
we bring our best today
to serve your cause and share your love
with all along life's way.
O God, who gave yourself to us
in Jesus Christ your Son,
help us to give ourselves each day
until life's work is done. Scripture: Exodus 23:16-19 Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

When the Church of Jesus
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Stewardship and Service First Line: When the church of Jesus shuts its outer door Lyrics: 1 When the church of Jesus shuts its outer door,
lest the roar of traffic drown the voice of prayer:
may our prayers, Lord, make us ten times more aware
that the world we banish is our Christian care.
2 If our hearts are lifted where devotion soars
high above this hungry, suff'ring world of ours:
lest our hymns should drug us to forget its needs,
forge our Christian worship into Christian deeds.
3 Lest the gifts we offer, money, talents, time,
serve to salve our conscience, to our secret shame:
Lord, reprove, inspire us by the way you give;
teach us, dying Savior, how true Christians live. Scripture: James 2:14-17 Used With Tune: KING'S WESTON
