How Long, O Lord Most Holy and True

Author: John A. Widtsoe, 1872–1952 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Genealogy and Temple Work Lyrics: 1. How long, O Lord most holy and true, Shall shadowed hope our joy delay? Our hearts confess, our souls believe Thy truth, thy truth, thy light, thy will, thy way! 2. Thy truth has made our prison bright; Thy light has dimmed the dying past. We bend beneath thy loving will And seek thy onward, onward path at last. 3. Eternal Father, gentle Judge! Speed on the day, redemption’s hour. Set up thy kingdom; from thy house Unlock for us, for us the prison tow’r. 4. From grim confusion’s awful depth The wail of hosts, faith’s urgent plea: Release our anguished, weary souls; Swing wide, swing wide the gates, and set us free! Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-2 Used With Tune: [How long, O Lord most holy and true]

We thank thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead

Author: Rev. Calvin W. Laufer Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Work Lyrics: 1 We thank Thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead To blazoned heights and down the slopes of need; They reach Thy throne, encompass land and sea, And he who journeys in them walks with Thee. 2 We've sought and found Thee in the secret place And marveled at the radiance of Thy face; But often in some far-off Galilee Beheld Thee fairer yet while serving Thee. 3 We've felt Thy touch in sorrow's darkened way Abound with love and solace for the day; And, 'neath the burdens there, Thy sovereignty Has held our hearts enthralled while serving Thee. 4 We've seen Thy glory like a mantle spread O'er hill and dale in saffron flame and red; But in the eyes of men, redeemed and free, A splendor greater yet while serving Thee. Amen. Used With Tune: FIELD

The dew of promise from the skies Already cheers the soil. 2 Go where the sick recline, Where mourning hearts deplore; And where the sons of sorrow pine, Dispense your hallowed store. 3 Be faith, which looks above, With prayer, your constant guest; And wrap the Saviour's changeless love A mantle round your breast. 4 So shall you share the wealth That earth may ne'er despoil, And the blest gospel's saving health Repay your arduous toil.

New every morning is the love

Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 368 hymnals Topics: Work Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love our wakening and uprising prove; through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life and power and thought. 2 New mercies, each returning day, hover around us while we pray; new perils past, new sins forgiven, new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 3 If on our daily course our mind be set to hallow all we find, new treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice. 4 The trivial round, the common task, will furnish all we need to ask, room to deny ourselves, a road to bring us daily nearer God. 5 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love fit us for perfect rest above; and help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray. Scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23 Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

Give Me the Faith Which Can Remove

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Work, Daily First Line: Give me, the faith which can remove Lyrics: 1. Give me the faith which can remove and sink the mountain to a plain; give me the childlike praying love, which longs to build thy house again; thy love, let it my heart o'er-power, and all my simple soul devour. 2. I would the precious time redeem, and longer live for this alone, to spend and to be spent for them who have not yet my Savior known; fully on these my mission prove, and only breathe, to breathe thy love. 3. My talents, gifts, and graces, Lord, into thy blessed hands receive; and let me live to preach thy word, and let me to thy glory live; my every sacred moment spend in publishing the sinner's Friend. 4. Enlarge, inflame, and fill my heart with boundless charity divine, so shall I all my strength exert, and love them with a zeal like thine, and lead them to thy open side, the sheep for whom the Shepherd died. Scripture: Mark 11:20-25 Used With Tune: CAREY'S (SURREY)
