Few in number, little flock
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1052 (1886) Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Lyrics: 1 Few in number, little flock,
Safe beneath your guardian Rock;
Fear not, arm you for the fight;
God will bless you with his might.
2 If you faint not, you shall reap;
Israel's God the seed doth keep;
Brave the foe, proclaim the word,
Sons and daughters of the Lord.
3 You who by the truth are sealed,
By God's grace to you revealed,
Should you dare to keep it back,
You the rich reward may lack. Tune Title: FISK
Few in number, little flock
Ho! reapers of life's harvest
Author: Isaac B. Woodbury Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1053 (1886) Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Lyrics: 1 Ho! reapers of life's harvest,
Why stand with rusty blade,
Until the night draws round thee,
And day begins to fade?
Why stand ye idle, waiting
For reapers more to come?
The golden morn is passing,
Why sit ye idle, dumb?
2 Trust in your sharpened sickle,
And gather in the grain;
The night is fast approaching,
And soon will come again.
The Master calls for reapers,
And shall he call in vain?
Shall sheaves lie there ungathered,
And waste upon the plain?
3 Come down from hill and mountain,
In morning's ruddy glow,
Nor wait until the dial
Points to the noon below;
And come with the strong sinew,
Nor faint in heat or cold;
And pause not till the evening
Draws round its wealth of gold.
4 Mount up the hights of wisdom,
And crush each error low;
Keep back no words of knowledge
That human hearts should know.
Be faithful to thy mission,
In service of thy Lord,
And soon a golden chaplet
Will be thy rich reward. Tune Title: LIFE'S HARVEST
Ho! reapers of life's harvest
Ho! idlers in the vineyard
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1054 (1886) Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Lyrics: 1 Ho! idlers in the vineyard,
Why wasting all the day?
The Master soon is coming
To bear the fruit away;
Then closed will be thy mission.
The harvest will be past
The summer quickly ended,
And lost thy soul at last.
2 Then rouse thee, idle gleaner;
Perform the work at hand;
Be earnest in thy duty,
And ready at command.
Fill well the place assigned thee,
Though hard may seem thy lot;
With Heaven's approbation,
Be every ill forgot.
3 Soon, on a cloud of glory,
Thy Saviour will appear,
All faces gather paleness,
And nations quake with fear.
O then thy name he'll honor,
And for thy service now,
A crown of fadeless glory
He'll place upon thy brow.
4 A mansion in the city
Whose glories far outshine
The sun in noon-day splendor,
Shall evermore be thine.
The jasper walls of heaven
Shall echo thy refrain,
The anthem of redemption,
To Jesus that was slain. Tune Title: LIFE'S HARVEST
Ho! idlers in the vineyard
From Greenland's icy mountains
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1055 (1886) Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand,
From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile;
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown;
The heathen in his blindness,
Bows down to wood and stone.
3 Can we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Can we, to men benighted,
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation, O, salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim
Till earth's remotest nation
Has heard Messiah's name. Tune Title: MISSIONARY HYMN
From Greenland's icy mountains
Work, for the night is coming
Author: Sidney Dyer Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1056 (1886) Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work 'mid springing flowers.
Work when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When men's workos done.
2 Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor;
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
3 Work, for the night is coming
Under the sunset skies;
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for the daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work while the night is darkening,
When man's work is o'er. Tune Title: WORK
Work, for the night is coming
Resting by-and-by
Author: Sidney Dyer Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1057 (1886) Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions First Line: When faint and weary toiling Lyrics: 1 When faint and weary toiling,
The sweat-drops on my brow
I long to rest from labor,
To drop the burden now,
There comes a gentle chiding,
To quell each mourning sigh:
"Work while the day is shining;
There's resting by-and-by."
Chorus:
Resting by and by,
There's resting by-and-by;
We shall not always labor,
We shall not always cry;
The end is drawing nearer,
The end for which we sigh;
We'll lay our heavy burdens down;
There's resting by-and-by.
2 This life to toil is given,
And he improves it best
Who seeks by patient labor
To enter into rest;
Then, pilgrim, worn and weary,
Press on, the goal is nigh;
The prize is straight before thee;
There's resting by-and by. [Chorus]
3 Nor ask when, overburdened,
You long for friendly aid,
"Why idle stands my brother,
No yoke upon him laid?"
The Master bids him tarry,
And dare you ask him why?
"Go labor in my vineyard,
There's resting by-and-by." [Chorus]
4 Wan reaper in the harvest,
Let this thy strength sustain,
Each sheaf that fills the garner
Brings you eternal gain;
Then bear the cross with patience,
To fields of duty hie;
'Tis sweet to work for Jesus;
There's resting by-and-by. [Chorus]
Tune Title: RESTING BY-AND-BY
Resting by-and-by
In the vineyard of our Father
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1058 (1886) Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Lyrics: 1 In the vineyard of our Father
Daily work we find to do;
Scattered gleanings we may gather,
Though we are but young and few;
Little clusters, little clusters
Help to fill the garners too.
2 Toiling early in the morning,
Catching moments through the day,
Nothing small or lowly scorning
While we work, and watch, and pray;
Gathering gladly
Free-will offerings by the way.
3 Not for selfish praise or glory,
Nor for things of transient worth,
But to send the blessed story
Of the gospel o'er the earth,
Telling mortals
Of our Lord and Saviour's birth.
4 Up and ever at our calling,
Till in death our lips are dumb,
Or till sin's dominion falling
Christ shall in his kingdom come,
And his children
Reach their everlasting home.
5 Steadfast then, in our endeavor,
Heavenly Father, may we be;
And forever and forever,
We will give the praise to thee;
Alleluia,
Singing all eternity. Tune Title: STANLEY
In the vineyard of our Father
Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them
Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1059 (1886) Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Lyrics: 1 Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them;
Thou art Lord of winds and waves:
They were bound, but thou hast freed them;
Now they go to free the slaves;
Be thou with them;
'Tis thine arm alone that saves.
2 Friends and home and all forsaking,
Lord, they go at thy command;
As their stay thy promise taking,
While they traverse sea and land:
O, be with them;
Lead them safely by the hand.
3 Where no fruit appears to cheer them,
And they seem to toil in vain,
Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them,
Then their sinking hopes sustain;
Thus supported,
Let their zeal revive again.
4 In the midst of opposition
Let them trust, O Lord, in thee;
When success attends their mission,
Let thy servants humble be;
Never leave them,
Till thy face in heaven they see.
Tune Title: STANLEY
Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them
Onward speed thy conquering flight
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1060 (1886) Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Lyrics: 1 Onward speed thy conquering flight,
Angel, onward speed;
Shed abroad thy radiant light,
Bid the shades recede;
Tread the idols in the dust,
Heathen fanes destroy,
Spread the gospel's holy trust,
Spread the gospel's joy.
2 Onward speed thy conquering flight,
Angel, onward haste;
Quickly on each mountain's hight
Be thy standard placed;
Let thy blissful tidings float
Far o'er vales and hills,
Till the sweetly-echoing note
Every bosom thrills.
3 Onward speed thy conquering flight,
Angel, onward fly;
Long has been the reign of night;
Bring the morning nigh;
'Tis to thee the heathen lift
Their imploring wail;
Bear them Heaven's holy gift,
Ere their courage fail. Tune Title: MESSAGE
Onward speed thy conquering flight
Father, hear the prayer we offer!
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1061 (1886) Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Lyrics: 1 Father, hear the prayer we offer!
Not for ease that prayer shall be,
But for strength that we may ever
Live our lives courageously.
2 Not forever by still waters
Would we idly, quiet stay,
But would smit the living fountains
From the rocks along our way.
3 Be our strength in hours of weakness,
In our wanderings, be our guide;
Through endeavor, hardship, danger,
Father, be thou at our side!
4 Ours to sow the seed in sorrow,
Thine to bid it spring and grow;
And the golden days of autumn
Will a precious harvest show.
Tune Title: MESSAGE
Father, hear the prayer we offer!
