That Cause Can Neither Be Lost nor Stayed

Author: Kristian Ostergaard; J. C. Aaberg Hymnal: WinS1996 #264 (1996) Meter: 9.9.9.9 Lyrics: 1 That cause can neither be lost nor stayed Which takes the course of what God has made; And is not trusting in walls and towers, But slowly growing from seeds to flowers. 2 Each noble service that has been wrought Was first conceived as a fruitful thought; Each worthy cause with a future glorious By quietly growing becomes victorious. 3 There by itself like a tree it shows: That high it reaches as deep it grows And when the storms are its branches shaking, It deeper root in the soil is taking. 4 Be then no more by a storm dismayed, For by it the full-grown seeds are laid; And though the tree by its might it shatters, What then, if thousands of seeds it scatters?

Send us upon thine errand, Let us thy servants be. Our strength is dust and ashes, Our years a passing hour; But thou canst use our weakness To magnify thy power. 4 "From ease and plenty save us; From pride of place absolve; Purge us of low desire; Lift us to high resolve; Take us, and make us holy; Teach us thy will and way.
