Scorn not the slightest word or deed

Author: Anon. Appears in 115 hymnals Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Lyrics: 1 Scorn not the slightest word or deed, Nor deem it void of power; There's fruit in each wind-wafted seed 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 Work on, despair not, bring thy mite, Nor care how small it be; God is with all that serve the right, The holy, true, and free.

What Joy It Is to Praise Our God

Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Ministry Lyrics: 1 What joy it is to praise our God with instruments and voice, and name the countless reasons that God gives us to rejoice, yet some find other ways to show a grateful, loving heart. Thanksgiving is their way of life, and praise is just the start. 2 A statesman gladly hammers out his praise in building homes; a mission mother cares for those who thought they’d die alone. A preacher leads a freedom march, a lawyer aids a child; a bishop helps men face the truth and all are reconciled. 3 God, in the best and worst of times, you bless us many ways. Give us a sense of gratitude that goes beyond mere praise. Like faithful leaders that we know, may we each find a role where we can share love’s healing balm and make the wounded whole. Scripture: Ephesians 4:11-13 Used With Tune: MODERN SAINTS
