Behold a Sower! from afar

Author: Rev. Washington Gladden Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Special Seasons and Services Schools and Colleges Lyrics: 1 Behold a Sower! from afar He goeth forth with might; The rolling years His furrows are, His seed, the growing light; For all the just His Word is sown, It springeth up alway; The tender blade is hope’s young dawn, The harvest, love’s new day. 2 O Lord of life, to Thee we lift Our hearts in praise for those, Thy prophets, who have shown Thy gift Of grace that ever grows, Of truth that spreads from shore to shore, Of wisdom’s widening ray, Of light that shineth more and more Unto Thy perfect day. 3 Shine forth, O Light, that we may see, With hearts all unafraid, The meaning and the mystery Of things that Thou hast made; Shine forth, and let the darkling past Beneath Thy beam grow bright; Shine forth, and touch the future vast With Thine untroubled light. 4 Light up Thy Word; the fettered page From killing bondage free; Light up our way; lead forth this age In love’s large liberty. O Light of light! within us dwell, Through us Thy radiance pour, That word and life Thy truths may tell, And praise Thee evermore. Amen. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky

Author: Alfred Tennyson Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Special Seasons and Services The New Year Lyrics: 1 Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night: Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. 2 Ring out the grief that saps the mind, For those that here we see no more; Ring out the feud of rich and poor, Ring in redress to all mankind. Ring out false pride in place and blood, The civic slander and the spite; Ring in the love of truth and right, Ring in the common love of good. 3 Ring out old shapes of foul disease, Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be. Amen. Used With Tune: JORDAN

As Those of Old Their First-Fruits Brought

Author: Frank von Christierson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: The Church at Worship Special Days, Seasons, Occasions: Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 As those of old their first-fruits brought of vineyard, flock, and field to God, the giver of all good, the source of bounteous yield, so we today our first-fruits bring, the wealth of this good land: of farm and market, shop and home, of mind and heart and hand. 2 A world in need now summons us to labour, love, and give; to make our life an offering to God that all may live. The church of Christ is calling us to make the dream come true: a world redeemed, by Christ-like love, all life in Christ made new. 3 With gratitude and humble trust we bring our best to you, not just to serve your cause, but share your love with neighbours too. O God, who gave yourself to us in Jesus Christ, your son, help us to give ourselves each day until life's work is done. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN
