Go, labor on: spend, and be spent
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #496 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ Example of Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on: spend, and be spent,
Thy joy to do the Father's will;
It is the way the Master went;
Should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go, labor on: 'tis not for naught;
Thine earthly loss is heav'nly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not;
The Master praises:—what are men?
3 Go, labor on: enough while here
If he shall praise thee, if he deign
Thy willing heart to mark and cheer;
No toil for him shall be in vain.
4 Go, labor on while it is day:
The world's dark night is hast'ning on.
Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away;
It is not thus that souls are won.
5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray;
Be wise the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the world's highway,
Compel the wand'rer to come in.
6 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight peal, "Behold, I come."
Amen. Scripture: John 9:4 Languages: English Tune Title: PENTECOST

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #581 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ's Example; Christ--Compassion of; Christ--Invitation of; Christ's Example; God--Kingdom of Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife
we hear your voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from human grief and burdened toil,
from famished souls, from sorrow's stress
your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water giv'n for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to view
the sweet compassion in your face.
5 O Master, from the mountain side,
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide;
O tread the city's streets again;
6 till all the world shall learn your love,
and follow where your feet have trod;
till glorious from your heav'n above
shall come the city of our God. Scripture: Matthew 9:18-36 Languages: English Tune Title: GERMANY

My Lord, You Wore No Royal Crown
Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #583 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ's Example; Christ--Life and ministry of; Christ's Example; Commitment; Discipleship Lyrics: 1 My Lord, you wore no royal crown;
you did not wield the pow'rs of state,
nor did you need a scholar's gown
or priestly robe, to make you great.
2 You never used a killer's sword
to end an unjust tyranny;
your only weapon was your word,
for truth alone could set us free.
3 You did not live a world away
in hermit's cell or desert cave,
but felt our pain and shared each day
with those you came to seek and save.
4 You made no mean or cunning move,
chose no unworthy compromise,
but carved a track of burning love
through tangles of deceit and lies.
5 You came unequaled, undeserved,
to be what we were meant to be;
to serve, instead of being served;
to pay for our perversity.
6 So when I stumble, set me right;
command my life as you require;
let all your gifts be my delight
and you, my Lord, my one desire. Scripture: Matthew 6:25-34 Languages: English Tune Title: CANNONS
My Lord, You Wore No Royal Crown

your willing heart to mark and cheer:

Feeble, helpless, how shall I
Author: William H. Furness Hymnal: Church Book #156 (1890) Topics: Example and Teaching of Christ Lyrics: 1 Feeble, helpless, how shall I
Learn to live and learn to die?
Who, O God, my guide shall be?
Who shall lead Thy child to Thee?
2 Blessed Father, gracious One,
Thou hast sent Thy holy Son;
He will give the light I need,
He my trembling steps will lead.
3 Through this world, uncertain, dim,
Let me ever learn on Him;
From His precepts wisdom draw,
Make His life my solemn law.
4 Thus in deed, and thought, and word,
Led by Jesus Christ the Lord,
In my weakness, thus shall I
Learn to live and learn to die.
