Progress

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Laudes Domini #464 (1888) Topics: Activity First Line: Like the eagle, upward, onward Lyrics: 1 Like the eagle, upward, onward, Let my soul in faith be borne: Calmly gazing, skyward, sunward, Let my eye unshrinking turn! 2 Where the cross, God's love revealing, Sets the fettered spirit free, Where it sheds its wondrous healing, There, my soul, thy rest shall be! 3 Oh, may I no longer, dreaming, Idly waste my golden day, But, each precious hour redeeming, Upward, onward, press my way!

Psalm 127

Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #466 (1888) Topics: Activity First Line: Vainly, through night's weary hours Lyrics: 1 Vainly, through night's weary hours, Keep we watch, lest foes alarm; Vain our bulwarks, and our towers, But for God's protecting arm. 2 Vain were all our toil and labor, Did not God that labor bless; Vain, without his grace and favor, Every talent we possess. 3 Vainer still the hope of heaven, That on human strength relies; But to him shall help be given, Who in humble faith applies. 4 Seek we, then, the Lord's Anointed; He will grant us peace and rest; Ne'er was suppliant disappointed, Who thro' Christ his prayer addressed.

Hanaford Hymnal: Laudes Domini #468 (1888) Topics: Activity First Line: Cast thy bread upon the waters Lyrics: 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Thinking not 'tis thrown away; God himself saith thou shalt gather It again some future day. 2 Cast thy bread upon the waters; Wildly though the billows roll, They but aid thee as thou toilest Truth to spread from pole to pole. 3 As the seed, by billows floated, To some distant island lone, So to human souls benighted, That thou flingest may be borne. 4 Cast thy bread upon the waters; Why wilt thou still doubting stand? Bounteous shall God send the harvest, If thou sow'st with liberal hand. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:1 Languages: English Tune Title: SOLNEY

See the rising grain appear; Look again! the fields are whitening, For the harvest time is near. Scripture: Psalm 126:6 Languages: English Tune Title: STOCKWELL

Minute fidelity

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #473 (1888) Topics: Activity First Line: Scorn not the slightest word or deed Lyrics: 1 Scorn not the slightest word or deed, Nor deem it void of power; There's fruit in each wind-wafted see, That waits its natal hour. 2 A whispered word may touch the heart. And call it back to life; A look of love bid sin depart, And still unholy strife. 3 No act falls fruitless; none can tell How vast its power may be, Nor what results infolded dwell Within it silently. 4 Work on, despair not, bring thy mite, Nor care how small it be; God is with all that serves the right, The holy, true, and free.
