How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Labor, Laborers 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. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Used With Tune: REPTON

As we his people Meet to offer praise and prayer, May we find in fuller measure What it is in Christ we share: Here, as in the world around us, All our varied skills and arts Wait the coming of his Spirit Into open minds and hearts. 2 Here are symbols to remind us Of our lifelong need of grace; Here are table, font and pulpit, Here the cross has central place: Here in honesty of preaching, Here in silence as in speech, Here in newness and renewal God the Spirit comes to each. 3 Here our children find a welcome In the Shepherd's flock and fold; Here, as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us as of old: Here the servants of the Servant Seek in worship to explore What it means in daily living To believe and to adore. 4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom, In an age of change and doubt, Keep us faithful to the gospel, Help us work your purpose out: Here, in this day's dedication, All we have to give, receive; We who cannot live without you, We adore you!

Ĉe arktaj neĝo-montoj

Author: Reginald Heber; Agnes Burton Deans Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Missionary Labor Lyrics: 1. Ĉe arktaj neĝo-montoj, hom-plena orient', Afrikaj sunaj fontoj, proksima okcident'; ĉe valo kaj kamparo, rivero kaj arbar', nin vokas gefrataro en ĉenoj de erar'. 2. Nin ravas birda sono, allogas ĉiu flor', troviĝas ja malbono nur en la homa kor': kaj vane riceviĝas de l' homo ĉiu bon'; li blinde genuiĝas al ligno kaj al ŝton'. 3. Ĉiele lum-benitaj, ĉu rifuzadu ni al homoj nesavitaj la scion pri l' Mesi'? "Vin savis Krista amo, akceptu lin en ver'!" sonadu la proklamo en ĉiu land' sur ter'. 4. Ruliĝu, mara ondo, kaj ventoj, blovu vi, ke venku tra la mondo la Krist-evangeli'. Ĝis laŭ fervora preĝo revenos Krist' al ni, Savinto, Dio, Reĝo — kaj ĉie regos li.
