God of my life, to thee belong

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Luke 13:6 Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to thee belong The thankful heart, the grateful song; Touch'd by thy love, each tuneful chord Resounds the goodness of the Lord. 2 Thou hast preserv'd my fleeting breath, And chas'd the gloomy shades of death; The venom'd arrows vainly fly, When God our great Deliverer's nigh. 3 Yet why, dear Lord, this tender care? Why does thy hand so kindly rear A uselss cumberer of the ground, On which no pleasant fruits are found? 4 Still may the barren fig-tree stand! And, cultivated by thy hand, Verdure, and bloom, and fruit afford, Meet tribute to its bounteous Lord. 5 So shall thy praise employ my breath Through life, and in the arms of death My soul the pleasant theme prolong Then rise to aid th'angelic song.

The barren fig-tree

Author: Mrs. M. B. C. Slade Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Luke 13:6-9 First Line: In the vineyard of the Master Refrain First Line: If the Master to our vineyard Lyrics: 1 In the vineyard of the Master, There was growing once a tree; Thither came He, often hoping That some fruit thereon might be, Fruit, not blossom, went He seeking, Only leaves thereon He found; To His dresser, hear Him speaking, Lo! it cumbereth the ground. Chorus: If the Master to our vineyard Should this day come down, Seeking, looking, asking for His own; Ready for His eye are we? Is there fruit upon our tree? Will He bid the dresser cut it down? 2 But the dresser then made answer, Leave it, Lord, another year; I with care will tend and keep it Till the bud and bloom appear; Then, if ripened fruit be showing, It is well, my Lord will own; If but leaves are on it growing After that, Lord, cut it down. [Chorus] 3 In the vineyard of my Master, Oft my tree His patience tries; Seeking fruit He often cometh, Finding only useless leaves. Let Thy dews of grace fall on me, Till some fruits divine appear; Let Thy patience rest upon me, Try me, Lord, another year. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [In the vineyard of the Master]

The Christian Church should well partake

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 13:6-8 Lyrics: 1 The Christian Church should well partake The parable, the Saviour spake, To shew the Jews their wretched state, And what would shortly be their fate. 2 Such fig-trees, which in Vineyards grow, And carefully attended to; Ought in due time their fruit to yield, Like stores of corn from a good field. 3 Such was the Jewish nations case, Whilst they had all the means of grace! Like as a fig-tree on good ground, So did God's grace to them abound. 4 But when their fruits were truly sought And their works proven which they wrought, All was corrupted, base and mean; Their best devotions were but sin. 5 And as the master gave command, Let not that barron fig-tree stand; His orders were to cut it down, Why should it cumber so much ground?
