Unanswered Yet

Author: Ophelia Guyon Browning Hymnal: CYBER #7019 Person Name: Ophelia Guyon Browning First Line: Unanswered yet? Lyrics: 1. Unanswered yet? The prayers your lips have pleaded In agony of heart these many years? Does faith begin to fail, is hope departing, And think you all in vain those falling tears? Say not the Father hath not heard your prayer: You shall have your desire, sometime, somewhere, You shall have your desire, sometime, somewhere. 2. Unanswered yet? Though when you first presented This one petition at the Father’s throne, It seemed you could not wait the time of asking, So urgent was your heart to make it known. Though years have passed since then, do not despair; The Lord will answer you, sometime, somewhere, The Lord will answer you, sometime, somewhere. 3. Unanswered yet? Nay, do not say ungranted; Perhaps your part is not yet wholly done; The work began when first your prayer was uttered, And God will finish what He has begun. If you will keep the incense burning there, His glory you shall see, sometime somewhere, His glory you shall see, sometime somewhere. 4. Unanswered yet? Faith cannot be unanswered; Her feet were firmly planted on the Rock; Amid the wildest storm prayer stands undaunted, Nor quail before the loudest thunder shock. She knows Omnipotence has heard her prayer, And cries, It shall be done, sometime, somewhere, And cries, It shall be done, sometime, somewhere. Languages: English Tune Title: [Unanswered yet?]

He waits to bless all who humbly confess Faith in His blood and righteousness. 2 What will you do for the King called Jesus, He who for you left His throne above; Here ’mid the lowly and sinful to labor, Daily unfolding His Father’s love. Look on the fields white already to harvest, Who now is willing to toil with the few? What will you do for the dear Savior Jesus? Lo, He is waiting, He calls for you! [Refrain] 3 What will you do with the King called Jesus? Who will submit to His gentle sway? Where are the hearts ready now to enthrone Him? Who will His kind commands obey? Come with your ointments most costly and precious, Pour out your gifts at the dear Savior’s feet; Render to Him all your loyal devotion; Seek to exalt Him by praises meet.

As Shadows Lengthen

Author: Richard W. Adams Hymnal: CYBER #249 Person Name: Richard W. Adams First Line: As shadows lengthen and the night grows cold Lyrics: 1. As shadows lengthen and the night grows cold, Not seeing how life’s pages will unfold, Give us Your peace as, yielding to Your will, We trust the Author loves and keeps us still. 2. One thing we pray, when evening round us falls, Show us the place on memory’s darkened walls, As dimming eye and failing flesh grow weak, Show us where pictures of Your love still speak, 3.

The Bible Is a Brilliant Lamp

Author: Richard W. Adams Hymnal: CYBER #517 Person Name: Richard W. Adams Lyrics: 1. The Bible is a brilliant lamp, Given to light up our way, To show our feet the way to tread, To turn darkness into day. 2. To teach to us the Father’s love, And the Evil One’s cruel hate, To show the path round many snares, The way to the pearly gate. 3. Given to all who truly seek, For wisdom, meaning and love, Instruction in life’s mysteries, The way to Heaven above. 4. And once you grasp the lamp, do not Hoard that brilliant, precious light, But share with all the radiant beam, And watch it conquer the night. The Lamp 5. I once planned a far off journey, Thinking easy was the way; Full of confidence and eager, Though I had no guide that day. 6. I had maps offered by strangers, Some seemed sage and wise, but they Admitted, when I pressed for more They had never been that way. 7. Others, smooth of tongue, persuasive, Gave assurances that they Knew of a secret canyon path Guaranteed to speed my way. 8. I marveled at my good fortune, To have found such ones that told The easy way to reach my goal, A city of jeweled gold. 9. With my preparations finished, I was ready to embark, But the sun had long departed, The highway silent and dark. 10. The courage that I’d felt within The warm and brightly lit room Had fled away—I was alone Standing in icy cold gloom. 11. But not alone! I saw a man Come up, a lamp in his hand; Use this, he said. The darkness hides Snares and traps throughout the land. 12. The lamp, a dusty, worn relic, Would surely a weak beam yield, No use on stygian byway, No help in ebony field. 13. More power than you know, my friend, To pierce the darkest of night. It saved my life full many time, Whenever I sought its light. 14. I did not see how the ancient Antique could still have a power, But polite, I took it and left The old man, pleading the hour. 15. In the death cold dark I wandered The path dismal, fell and drear, Groping for landmarks in the black Wondering—could I be near? 16. Was that river, serpent coiled? Was that the lightning rent tree? Was that the canyon through the hills To the city waiting for me? 17. O, for a moon to shed its rays And help me make out the ground; But thickest cloud hid moon and stars In a joyless gloom profound. 18. But suddenly, I thought, The lamp! I’d had it all through the night! Desperately, I pulled it out, Praying, O Lord, give me light. 19. Opened, the lamp began to glow As though from an inner power; I naught had done, but on its own Could it guide me and save the hour? 20. By gaping maw of canyon dark I stood, the lamp held on high; I saw the glint of waiting swords, As spider awaits the fly. The lying lips, the honeyed tongues, Had led to the verge of doom; I almost fell into the trap They laid in that warm, bright room. They only cared for self, not me, Lust, boasting and greed their god; They feared not justice, only cared For pleasure bought with my blood. With thanks to Heav’n that by the lamp I escaped the dark side’s snare, I fled away, on eagle wings, Clutching lamp as bright as e’er. I now could see the stone and root That in dark had made me fall; And then, at last, at breaking dawn, Loomed the city’s jasper wall. But who was that, by gate of pearl, With open arms of greeting? The old man from the inn it was; O, what a strange, glad meeting! How came you here before me, when You had no lamp to guide you? “Oh, but I did—I merely shared That lamp of power beside you. “That is the wonder of the lamp: You share it time and again, And still you have its brilliant light To help find your journey’s end. For you see, you never lose it, E’en though you give it away, The light of love shines as brightly As it did on God’s first day. The Bible is a brilliant lamp, Given to light up our way, To show our feet the way to tread, To turn darkness into day. To teach to us the Father’s love, And the Evil One’s cruel hate, To show the path round many snares, The way to the pearly gate. Given to all who truly seek, For wisdom, meaning and love, Instruction in life’s mysteries, The way to Heaven above. And once you grasp the lamp, do not Hoard that brilliant, precious light, But share with all the radiant beam, And watch it conquer the night. THE LAMP © 2001 Richard W.
