Through life's long day and death's dark night
Author: Dr. F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Appears in 341 hymnals Topics: Christ Sun of Righteousness; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening; Dismissal; Evening Sabbath First Line: O Saviour, bless us ere we go Lyrics: 1 O Saviour, bless us ere we go;
Thy words into our minds instil;
And make our lukewarm hearts to glow
With lowly love and fervent will.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our light!
2 The day is gone, its hours have run,
And Thou hast taken count of all
The scanty triumphs grace hath won,
The broken vow, the frequent fall.
3 Grant us, O Lord, from evil ways
True absolution and release;
And bless us, more than in past days,
With purity and inward peace.
4 Labour is sweet, for Thou hast toiled;
And care is light, for Thou hast cared;
Let not our works with self be soiled,
Nor in unsimple ways ensnared.
5 Do more than pardon; give us joy,
Sweet fear, and sober liberty.
And loving hearts without alloy,
That only long to be like Thee.
6 For all we love, the poor, the sad,
The sinful, unto Thee we call;
O let Thy mercy make us glad!
Thou art our Jesus and our all. Used With Tune: ST. MATTHIAS

Thy joy to do the Father's will;
It is the way the Master went,
Should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go labour on; 'tis not for nought,
Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not;
The Master praises; what are men?
3 Go labour on, while it is day,
The world's dark night is hastening on;
Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away;
It is not thus that souls are won.
4 Men die in darkness at thy side,
Without a hope to cheer the tomb;
Take up the torch and wave it wide,
The torch that lights time's thickest gloom.
5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch, and pray;
Be wise, the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the world's highway,
Compel the wanderer to come in.
6 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight peal, "Behold, I come!" Used With Tune: ST. ALBAN

'Tis thy Saviour; hear His word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee
"Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me?
2 "I delivered thee when bound,
And, when bleeding, healed thy wound;
Sought thee wandering, set thee right,
Turned thy darkness into light.
3 "Can a woman's tender care
Cease toward the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee.
4 "Mine is an unchanging love,
Higher than the heights above;
Deeper than the depths beneath,
Free and faithful, strong as death.
5 "Thou shalt see My glory soon,
When the work of grace is done;
Partner of My throne shalt be;
Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me?"
6 Lord, it is my chief complaint
That my love is cold and faint;
Yet I love Thee and adore,
O for grace to love Thee more!

A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
Or sailed through blood seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.
5 Thy saints in all this glorious war
Shall conquer, though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
By faith they bring it nigh.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all Thy armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

That by Thy grace our souls are fed. Used With Tune: AGAPE

Praise His name for ever.

Hear the harps resounding!
See the hosts the throne surrounding!
"Holy, holy, holy,"
Hear the hymn ascending.
Angels, saints, their voices blending!
Bow Thine ear
To us here:
Hearken to the praises
Which Thy Church now raises.
3 O Thou Fount of blessing,
Purify my spirit
Trusting only in Thy merit,
Like the holy angels
Who behold Thy glory
May I ceaselessly adore Thee.
Let Thy will
Ever still
Rule Thy Church terrestrial,
As the hosts celestial. Used With Tune: ARNSBERG

Hark, the voice of Jesus calling
Author: Dr. D. March, 1816- Appears in 514 hymnals Topics: Consecration Of Self; Call To Service; The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service; Decision Call to ; Self-Dedication ; Service Of Christ; Master's Call Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus calling,
"Who will go and work to-day?
Fields are white, and harvests waiting,
Who will bear the sheaves away?"
Loud and long the Master calleth,
Rich reward He offers free;
Who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I, O Lord, send me"?
2 If you cannot cross the ocean,
And the heathen lands explore,
You can find the heathen nearer,
You can help them at your door;
If you cannot give your thousands,
You can give the widow's mite,
And the least you give for Jesus
Will be precious in His sight.
3 If you cannot be the watchman
Standing high on Zion's wall,
Pointing out the path to heaven,
Offering life and peace to all,
With your prayers and with your bounties
You can do what Heaven demands;
You can be like faithful Aaron
Holding up the prophet's hands.
4 Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
While the souls of men are dying,
And the Master calls for you;
Take the task He gives you gladly;
Let His work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
"Here am I, O Lord, send me." Used With Tune: LUX EOI
Hark, the voice of Jesus calling
