How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
When once we heed Your call:
To live according to Your Word
And daily learn, refreshed, restored,
That You are Lord of all
And will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
Your yoke is hard to bear;
If worldly pressures fray the mind,
And love itself cannot unwind
Its tangled skein of care:
Our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how Your saints become
In hindrances more sure;
Whose joyful virtues put to shame
The casual way we wear Your name
And by our faults obscure
Your pow'r to cleanse and cure.
4 In what You give us, Lord, to do,
Together or alone,
In old routines or ventures new,
May we not cease to look to You,
The cross You hung upon--
All You endeavored done.

Jesus Shall Reign

Does its successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 To Him shall endless prayer be made,
And endless praises crown His head;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With ev'ry morning sacrifice.
3 People and realms of ev'ry tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name.
4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns;
The pris'ners leap, unloose their chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all who suffer want are blest.
5 Let ev'ry creature rise and bring
Honors peculiar to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud amen.

Author: George Matheson (1842-1906) Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 669 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee:

that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.

I yield my flickering torch to thee:
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine's blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.

I cannot close my heart to thee:
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.

I dare not ask to fly from thee:
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Devotion; The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Death and Bereavement; Eternal Life; God Love of Used With Tune: ST. MARGARET

And tell him Thou hast died.

To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners such as I
Might plead Thy gracious Name!
