The time is far spent; there is little remaining To publish glad tidings by sea and by land.

Shrink not from your duty, however unpleasant, But follow the Savior, your pattern and friend. Our little afflictions, tho painful at present, Ere long, with the righteous, in glory will end, Ere long, with the righteous, in glory will end. 3. What, tho, if the favor of Ahman possessing, This world’s bitter hate you are called to endure? The angels are waiting to crown you with blessings! Go forward, be faithful, the promise is sure. Go forward, be faithful, the promise is sure. 4. Be fixed in your purpose, for Satan will try you; The weight of your calling he perfectly knows.

Your hand, O God, has guided

Author: E. H. Plumptre (1821-1891) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: God's Church Conflict and Endurance; Pentecost 20 Endurance Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided your flock, from age to age; the faithfulness is written on history's every page. They knew your perfect goodness, whose deeds we now record; and both to this bear witness: one church, one faith, one Lord. 2 Your heralds brought the gospel to greatest as to least; they summoned all to hasten and share the great king's feast. And this was all their teaching in every deed and word; to all alike proclaiming: one church, one faith, one Lord. 3 Through many days of darkness, through many scenes of strife, the faithful few fought bravely to guard the nation's life. Their gospel of redemption — sin pardoned, life restored — was all in this enfolded: one church, one faith, one Lord. 4 And we, shall we be faithless? shall hearts fail, hands hang down? shall we evade the conflict and throw away the crown? Not so! In God's deep counsels some better thing is stored; we will maintain, unflinching, one church, one faith, one Lord. 5 Your mercy will not fail us nor leave your work undone; with your right hand to help us, the victory shall be won. And then by earth and heaven your name shall be adored; and this shall be their anthem: one church, one faith, one Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 4:4-5 Used With Tune: THORNBURY

Through All the Changing Scenes of Life

Author: Nahum Brady; Nicholas Tate Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 482 hymnals Topics: Endurance Lyrics: 1 Through all the changing scenes of life, in trouble and in joy, the praises of my God shall still my heart and tongue employ. Of his deliv'rance I will boast, till all that are distressed, from my example comfort take and lay their griefs to rest. 2 O magnify the LORD with me, exalt his holy name; when in distress to him I called, he to my rescue came. The hosts of God encamp around the dwellings of the just; deliv'rance he affords to all who in his promise trust. 3 O taste and see that he is good; experience will decide how blest are they, and only they who in the LORD confide. Fear him, you saints, and you will then have nothing else to fear; make serving him your sole delight, your wants shall be his care. Scripture: Psalm 34 Used With Tune: FOND DU LAC

When Lawless People Thrive

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Endurance Lyrics: 1 When lawless people thrive and wrong suppresses right, remember they will fade away and wither overnight. Commit your life to God, and trust the LORD to make the justice of your righteous cause shine clear for his name's sake. 2 Be still before the LORD; in patience learn to wait and never fret if crime succeeds and some grow rich and great. For jealous discontent tends only to destroy; the meek who look to God their LORD a kingdom shall enjoy. 3 The godless borrow much and cannot then pay back; the righteous give, and give again, are blessed, and have no lack. The saints whose lives are true can turn away from wrong; God's Word is hidden in their heart, God's wisdom guides their tongue. 4 I've seen a boasting thief grow like a weed apace; but when I passed that way again I looked, but found no trace. My steps are from the LORD who helps my feet to stand. I stumble but I do not fall; my God shall hold my hand. 5 Salvation is from God in times of blatant wrong, and all who seek his shelter find a refuge safe and strong. So fully trust the LORD; shun evil, follow right: God gives you all your heart's desire when he is your delight. Scripture: Psalm 37 Used With Tune: DINBYCH
