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!

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
