Sow in the morn thy seed

Author: J. Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #378 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 Sow in the morn thy seed, At eve hold not thine hand; To doubt and fear give thou no heed, Broadcast it o'er the land. 2 Beside all waters sow, The highway furrows stock, Drop it where thorns and thistles grow, Scatter it on the rock. 3 Thou know'st not which may thrive, The late or early sown; Grace keeps the precious germs alive, When and wherever strown. 4 And duly shall appear, In verdure, beauty, strength, The tender blade, the stalk, the ear, And the full corn at length. 5 Thou canst not toil in vain; Cold, heat, and moist, and dry, Shall foster and mature the grain For garners in the sky. 6 Thence, when the glorious end, The day of God, is come, The angel-reapers shall descend And heaven shout "Harvest-home!"

Now, the sowing and the weeping

Author: Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #385 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 Now, the sowing and the weeping, Working hard and waiting long; Afterward, the golden reaping, Harvest-home and grateful song. 2 Now, the long and toilsome duty, Stone by stone to carve and bring; Afterward, the perfect beauty Of the palace of the King. 3 Now, the spirit conflict-riven, Wounded heart, and painful strife; Afterward, the triumph given, And the victor's crown of life. 4 Now, the training, hard and lowly, Weary feet and aching brow; Afterward, the service holy, And the Master's "Enter thou!"

O brother man! Fold to thy heart thy brother

Author: J. G. Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #393 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 O brother man! Fold to thy heart thy brother, Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there; To worship rightly is to love each other, Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer. 2 For he whom Jesus loved hath truly spoken: The holier worship which He deigns to bless Restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken, And feeds the widow and the fatherless! 3 Follow with rev'rent steps the great example Of Him whose holy work was "doing good;" So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple, Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.

God of our fathers, known of old

Author: Rudyard Kipling, 1865- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #419a (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God National Life Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers, known of old, Lord of our far-flung battle line, Beneath whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine: Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget. 2 The tumult and the shouting dies; The captains and the kings depart; Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart: Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget. 3 Far called our navies melt away, On dune and headland sinks the fire; Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Judge of the nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget. 4 If, drunk with sight of power, we loose Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe, Such boastings as the Gentiles use, Or lesser breeds without the law: Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget. 5 For heathen heart that puts her trust In reeking tube and iron shard; All valiant dust that builds on dust, And guarding calls not Thee to guard: For frantic boast and foolish word, Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord.

How do Thy mercies close me round!

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #212 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening Lyrics: 1 How do Thy mercies close me round! For ever be Thy name adored; I blush in all things to abound; The servant is above his Lord. 2 Inured to poverty and pain, A suffering life my Master led; The Son of God, the Son of Man, He had not where to lay His head. 3 But lo! a place He hath prepared For me, whom watchful angels keep Yea, He Himself becomes my guard; He smooths my bed, and gives me sleep. 4 Jesus protects; my fears, be gone; What can the Rock of ages move? Safe in Thine arms I lay me down, Thine everlasting arms of love. 5 While Thou art intimately nigh, Who, who shall violate my rest? Sin, earth, and hell I now defy; I lean upon my Saviour's breast. 6 I rest beneath the Almighty's shade; My griefs expire, my troubles cease; Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stayed, Wilt keep me still in perfect peace.

Holy Lamb, who Thee confess

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #232 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening Lyrics: 1 Holy Lamb, who Thee confess, Followers of Thy holiness, Thee they ever keep in view, Ever ask, "What shall we do?" Governed by Thy only will, All Thy words we would fulfil; Would in all Thy footsteps go, Walk as Jesus walked below. 2 While Thou didst on earth appear, Servant to Thy servants here, Mindful of Thy place above, All Thy life was prayer and love. Such our whole employment be, Works of faith and charity; Works of love on man bestowed, Secret intercourse with God. 3 Early in the temple met, Let us still our Saviour greet; Nightly to the mount repair, Join our praying Pattern there. There by wrestling faith obtain Power to work for God again, Power His image to retrieve, Power, like Thee, our Lord, to live. 4 Vessels, instruments of grace, Pass we thus our happy days 'Twixt the mount and multitude. Doing or receiving good; Glad to pray and labour on, Till our earthly course is run, Till, our sufferings ended, we Bow the head and die like Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: TICHFIELD
