O Gracious Hand That Freely Gives

Author: Arthur Tozer Russell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126:5-6 Lyrics: 1 O gracious Hand that freely gives The fruit of earth our toil to bless! O Love, by which the sinner lives, O let our tongue that love confess! 2 Our God for all our need provides; His sun alike o'er all doth shine; From none His glorious beams He hides; So rich, so free, His love divine. 3 Again this love our garners fills; This love again let all adore; The cry of want this bounty stills, Who biddeth all His Name implore. 4 O may our lives through grace abound, In holy fruits, and Thee proclaim! Let all Thy courts with praises sound Thy gracious hand, Thy wondrous Name. 5 Lord, when Thou shalt descend from heaven, Thy ransomed harvest here to reap, May in that day Thy joy be given To those who now go forth and weep. Amen.

We Are Sowing

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126:5-6 Lyrics: 1. We are sowing, daily sowing Countless seeds of good and ill, Scattered on the level lowland, Cast upon the windy hill; Seeds that sink in rich, brown furrows, Soft with heaven’s gracious rain; Seeds that rest upon the surface Of the dry, unyielding plain; 2. Seeds that fall amid the stillness Of the lonely mountain glen; Seeds cast out in crowded places, Trodden under foot of men; Seeds by idle hearts forgotten, Flung at random on the air; Seeds by faithful souls remembered, Sown in tears and love and prayer; 3. Seeds that lie unchanged, unquickened, Lifeless on the teeming mold; Seeds that live and grow and flourish When the sower’s hand is cold. By a whisper sow we blessings; By a breath we scatter strife. In our words and thoughts and actions Lie the seeds of death and life. 4. Thou who knowest all our weakness, Leave us not to sow alone! Bid thine angels guard the furrows Where the precious grain is sown, Till the fields are crown’d with glory, Filled with mellow, ripened ears, Filled with fruit of life eternal From the seed we sowed in tears.

Psalm 126

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 First Line: When God from sin's captivity Lyrics: 1. When God from sin's captivity Sets his afflicted people free, Lost in a maze, their mercies seem, The transient raptures of a dream. 2. But soon their ransomed souls rejoice, And mirth and music swell their voice, Till foes confess, nor dare condemn, The Lord has done great things for them. 3. They catch the strain and answer thus: The Lord has done great things for us, Whence gladness fills our hearts, and songs, Sweet and spontaneous, wake our tongues. 4. Turn our captivity, O Lord, As flowing rivers, at thy word, Bound from their channels, and restore Plenty where all was waste before. 5. Who sow in tears shall reap for joy; No precious seed shall be destroyed, Nor long the weeping exiles roam, But bring their sheaves rejoicing home. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: MENDON
