How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #853 (2006) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 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: Luke 5:1-11 Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON

From Thee, My God, My Joys Shall Rise
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1641 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1. From Thee, my God, my joys shall rise,
And run eternal rounds,
Beyond the limits of the skies,
Beyond the limits of the skies,
And all created bounds,
And all created bounds.
2. The holy triumphs of my soul
Shall death itself outbrave,
Leave dull mortality behind,
Leave dull mortality behind,
And fly beyond the grave,
And fly beyond the grave.
3. There, where my blessèd Jesus reigns,
In Heav’n’s unmeasured space,
I’ll spend a long eternity,
I’ll spend a long eternity,
In pleasure and in praise,
In pleasure and in praise.
4. Millions of years my wondering eyes
Shall o’er Thy beauties rove,
And endless ages I’ll adore
And endless ages I’ll adore
The glories of Thy love,
The glories of Thy love.
5. Sweet Jesus, every smile of Thine
Shall fresh endearments bring;
And thousand tastes of new delight
And thousand tastes of new delight
From all Thy graces spring,
From all Thy graces spring.
6. Haste, my Belovèd, fetch my soul
Up to Thy blest abode;
Fly, for my spirit longs to see,
Fly, for my spirit longs to see
My Savior and my God,
My Savior and my God. Languages: English Tune Title: WILTSHIRE (Stephenson)
