While, with ceaseless course, the sun

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 591 hymnals Lyrics: 1. While, with ceaseless course, the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Nevermore to meet us here: Fixed in an eternal state, They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, But how little, none can know.

Spread, O spread, thou mighty Word

Author: Jonathan Friederich Bahnmeier; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Spread, O, spread, thou mighty Word, Spread the kingdom of the Lord, That in earth's remotest bound Men may hear thy joyful sound. Tell them how the Father's will Made the world, and keeps it still, How His only Son He gave, Man from sin and death to save. 2 Tell of our Redeemer's love, Who forever doth remove By His holy sacrifice All the guilt that on us lies. Tell them of the Spirit given As our guide through Christ to heaven, Strong and holy, just and true, Working both to will and do. 3 Word of Life! most pure and strong, Lo, for thee the nations long: Spread and banish by thy light Everywhere sin's dreary night. Up! the ripening fields we see, Mighty shall the harvest be; But the reapers still how few! Lord, send men Thy work to do.
