Life is the time to serve the Lord
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #297 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Brevity of Life; Life Brevity of; Life Object of; Life Solemnity of Lyrics: 1 Life is the time to serve the Lord,
The time t'ensure the great reward;
And while the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return.
2 Life is the hour that God has given
To ’scape from hell and fly to heaven;
The day of grace, and mortals may
Secure the blessings of the day.
3 Then what my thoughts design to do,
My hands, with all your might pursue,
Since no device, nor work is found,
Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground.
4 There are no acts of pardon past
In the cold grave, to which we haste,
But darkness, death, and long despair
Reign in eternal silence there. Languages: English

Yet sing to God our hope, our love, our praise,

caught from the Christ-flame, bursting through the night,
Who touched the truth, who burned for what was right,

thanks for the love by which our life is fed,
A love not changed by time or death or dread,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
4 Give thanks for hope, that like the wheat, the grain
that lies in darkness does its life retain
In resurrection to grow green again,
Alleluia, Alleluia! Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Languages: English Tune Title: ROBINSON

Father, I Know That All My Life
Author: Anna Waring Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #298 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Guidance First Line: Father, I know that all my life Lyrics: 1. Father, I know that all my life
Is portioned out for me;
The changes that are sure to come,
I do not fear to see:
I ask Thee for a present mind,
Intent on pleasing Thee.
2. I ask Thee for a thoughtful love,
Thro' constant watching wise,
To meet the glad with joyful smiles,
To wipe the weeping eyes;
A heart at leisure from itself
To soothe and sympathize.
3. I would not have the resless will
That hurries to and fro,
Seeking for some great thing to do,
Or secret thing to know;
I would be treated as a child,
And guided where I go.
4. I ask Thee for the daily strength,
To none that ask denied,
A mind to blend with outward life,
While keeping at Thy side,
Content to fill a little space,
If Thou be glorified.
5. In service which Thy will appoints
There are no bonds for me;
My secret heart is taught the truth
That makes Thy children free;
A life of self-renouncing love
Is one of liberty. Languages: English Tune Title: MORWELLHAM

Thy Life Within Me
Author: F. R. Havergal Hymnal: Christ in Song #318 (1908) Topics: Living His Life Consecration; Living His Life Consecration First Line: Live out Thy life within me Lyrics: 1 Live out Thy life within me,
O Jesus, King of kings!
Be Thou Thyself the answer
To all my questionings;
Live out Thy life within me,
In all things have Thy way!
I, the transparent medium
Thy glory to display.
2 The temple has been yielded,
And purified of sin;
Let Thy Shekinah glory
Now shine forth from within,
And all the earth keep silence,
The body henceforth be
Thy silent, gentle servant,
Moved only as by Thee,
3 Its members ev'ry moment
Held subject to Thy call,
Ready to have Thee use them,
Or not be used at all;
Held without restless longing,
Or strain, or stress, or fret,
Or chafings at Thy dealings,
Or tho'ts of vain regret;
4 But restful, calm and pliant,
From bend and bias free,
Awaiting Thy decision,
When thou hast need of me.
Live out Thy life within me,
O Jesus, King of kings!
Be Thou the glorious answer
To all my questionings.
