Psalm 127

Author: Harriet Auber Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Activity First Line: Vainly, through night's weary hours Lyrics: 1 Vainly, through night's weary hours, Keep we watch, lest foes alarm; Vain our bulwarks, and our towers, But for God's protecting arm. 2 Vain were all our toil and labor, Did not God that labor bless; Vain, without his grace and favor, Every talent we possess. 3 Vainer still the hope of heaven, That on human strength relies; But to him shall help be given, Who in humble faith applies. 4 Seek we, then, the Lord's Anointed; He will grant us peace and rest; Ne'er was suppliant disappointed, Who thro' Christ his prayer addressed. Scripture: Nehemiah 4:6 Used With Tune: WIMBORNE

Give of your best to the Master; Give of the strength of your youth, Clad in salvation's full armor, Join in the battle for truth. Used With Tune: [Give of your best to the Master]

Speed Thy Servants

Author: T. Kelly Appears in 79 hymnals Topics: Living His Life Call to Activity First Line: Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them 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, 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, O, be with them; Lead them safely by the hand. 2 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, Thus supported Bid their zeal revive again. 3 In the midst of opposition May they trust, O Lord in thee: When success attends their mission, May thy servants humble be; Never leave them, Never leave them, Till thy face in heav'n they see.

Willing both in hand and heart, Every law of love fulfilling. Every comfort to impart: Ever bringing offerings meet, Suppliants at thy mercy-seat. 5 Then shall sickness, sin, and sadness To thy healing power yield; Till the sick and sad in gladness, Rescued, ransomed, cleansed, healed, Shall the saints together meet, Pardoned at thy judgment seat!
