How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:1 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 became in hindrances more sure: whose joyful virtues put to shame the casual way we wear your name, and by our faults obscure your power 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.

O Lord, Thou Hast Ascended

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:8 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou hast ascended on high in might to reign; captivity thou leadest a captive in thy train. Rich gifts to thee are offered by men who did rebel, who pray that now Jehovah, their God, with them may dwell. 2 Blest be the Lord who daily our heavy burden bears, the God of our salvation, who for his people cares. Our God is near to help us, our God is strong to save; the Lord alone is able to ransom from the grave. 3 Sing unto God, ye nations, ye kingdoms of the earth; Sing unto God, all people, and praise his matchless worth. He rides in royal triumph upon the heav'ns abroad; he speaks, the mountains tremble before the voice of God. 4 All glory, might, and honor ascribe to God on high; his arm protects his people who on his pow'r rely. Forth from thy holy dwelling thine awful glories shine; thou strengthenest thy people; unending praise be thine.
