Only Trust the Savior's Promise

Author: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: When our way is hedged about us Lyrics: 1. When our way is hedged about us, And our cross too great to bear, How the soul to God is lifted, Thro’ the wondrous power of prayer. Refrain Only trust the Savior’s promise, Do His will, whate’er it be; Then our faith will hear Him saying, Come and find a rest in Me. 2. O ’tis prayer that brings a blessing, When our hope on Him is stayed; Prayer that gives us joy and comfort, Tho’ the answer be delayed. [Refrain] 3. O the joy of sweet communion, When we know that He is near, When we feel His love within us, Casting out our every fear. [Refrain] 4. Why, O why should we be troubled, When the Lord Himself declares, If we call on Him believing, He will grant our fervent prayers.

The Harvest Is White

Author: Horatio Gates Abbey Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: The harvest is white! The laborers few Lyrics: 1 The harvest is white! The laborers are few, And work is abundant for Christians to do. The poor and the famished are crying for bread, The sick must be cared for, the hungry be fed. Go forth to the harvest, go work for the Lord, The least act of kindness shall have its reward. Go forth to the harvest, go work for the Lord, The least act of kindness shall have its reward. 2 The harvest is white! From far distant lands, The heathen are crying with uplifted hands. While rings loud and clear the command of the Lord, Go ye to all nations, and publish My Word. Go forth to the harvest, go, labor with might, The day is fast passing, soon cometh the night. Go forth to the harvest, go, labor with might, The day is fast passing, soon cometh the night. 3 The harvest is white! On all sides around, The woe stricken followers of Satan abound; Degraded, debased and corrupted with sin, From street and from alley, go gather them in. Go forth to the harvest, there’s no time to lose, The Savior commands it! Let no one refuse. Go forth to the harvest, there’s no time to lose, The Savior commands it! Let no one refuse. 4 The harvest is white! Go forth to the field, If young or too feeble the sickle to wield, The sheaves must be gathered, and some one must wait, While others are toiling, to watch at the gate. Go forth to the harvest, the great and the small, Go work with a will, for there’s work for us all. Go forth to the harvest, the great and the small, Go work with a will, for there’s work for us all.

Heaven With Rosy Morn Is Glowing

Author: Ambrose of Milan, 340-397; John Williams Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heaven with rosy morn is glowing, Songs of triumph fill the air, Strains of praise from earth are flowing, Hell is writhing in despair. Earth’s great king, in glory springing, From the deep sepulchral night, While loud anthems round are ringing, Leads His saints to life and light. 2 Useless watch the guards are keeping O’er that tomb so still and lone; He who there in death was sleeping, Bursts the seal, and rends the stone. "Weep no more; no more be given Gushing tears and mournful sighs, For the grave’s dark gates are riven, Christ is risen!" the angel cries. 3 Be our Paschal joy unending! And, O Lord, deign Thou to save Contrite souls, that lowly bending, Pray for life beyond the grave. Praise the Father, earth and Heaven, Praise the Son, who rose this day, To the Spirit praise be given— Three in One, and One in three.

On This Morn We See the Dawning

Author: Richard W. Adams Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. On this morn we see the dawning Of a bright and glorious Sun; Night is banished, shadows fleeing, Demons scatter, devils run. To the garden come the women, Bringing spices for the dead, Wondering how to plead with soldiers, Guards of empire, armed and dread. 2. See, the empty sepulcher greets them, Heavy rock now rolled away; No more soldiers, nor a body, Only grave cloths where He lay. Seal of Caesar could not hold Him, Nor a mighty door of stone; King of kings, the Lord has triumphed, He has trampled Satan’s throne. 3. From the tomb a light is streaming, Proving faith is not in vain; In the morning joy befriends us, Sacred mystery now made plain. Can it be? The dead is living? Yes, the Son has hell overcome; Angel messenger proclaiming: See the power of death undone! 4. From the silent, stone cold prison, God erupts in glorious might; Suffering over, Christ has risen, Ends the age of gloom and night. Death, the final enemy, conquered, Now we no more fear the grave; Jesus died in place of sinners, And He lives, almighty to save. Used With Tune: BEECHER
