Love divine, all loves excelling
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,862 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:36 Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heaven, to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling,
all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation,
enter every trembling heart.
2 Come, almighty to deliver;
let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
never more thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
3 Finish then thy new creation:
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee,
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Hark, the Voice of Jesus Crying
Author: Daniel March, 1816-1909; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 505 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:37-38 Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus crying,
"Who will go and work today?
Fields are white and harvests waiting--
Who will bear the sheaves away?"
Loud and long the Master calleth;
Rich reward He offers thee.
Who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I, send me, send me"?
2 If you cannot speak like angels,
If you cannot preach like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus,
You can say He died for all.
If you cannot rouse the wicked
With the judgment's dread alarms,
You can lead the little children
To the Savior's waiting arms.
3 If you cannot be a watchman,
Standing high on Zion's wall,
Pointing out the path to heaven,
Off'ring life and peace to all,
With your prayers and with your bounties
You can do what God commands;
You can be like faithful Aaron,
Holding up the prophet's hands.
4 Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
While the multitudes are dying
And the Master calls for you.
Take the task He gives you gladly,
Let His work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
"Here am I, send me, send me!"

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank. M. North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:36 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear your voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to see
the true compassion of your face.
4 O Master, from the mountainside
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
and tread the city's streets again
5 till all the world shall learn your love
and follow where your feet have trod,
till glorious from your heaven above
shall come the city of our God.

woman's Son, whose birth amongst us
hallows all our human race:
thou, our Head, who throned in glory
for thine own dost ever plead,
fill us with thy love and pity,
heal our wrongs, and help our need.

so may we for others live;
freely have thy gifts been granted,
freely may Thy servants give.

thine the wealth of land and sea,
We but stewards of Thy bounty
held in solemn trust for thee.
3 Come, O Christ, and reign above us,
King of Love, and Prince of Peace;
hush the storm of strife and passion,
bid its cruel discords cease;
by thy patient years of toiling,
by thy silent hours of pain,
quench our fever'd thirst of pleasure,
shame our selfish greed of gain.
4 Son of God, eternal Savior,
source of life and truth and grace,
woman's Son whose birth among us
hallows all our human race,
thou who prayedst, thou who willest,
that thy people should be one,
grant, O grant our hope’s fruition;
here on earth thy will be done.

God, our Maker, doth provide
for our wants to be supplied.
Come to God's own temple, come;

fruit in thankful praise to yield,
wheat and tares together sown,

Lord of harvest, grant that we
wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
and shall take the harvest home;
from each field shall in that day
all offenses purge away;
give the angels charge at last
in the fire the tares to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in God's garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
to thy final harvest home.
Gather thou thy people in,
free from sorrow, free from sin,
there forever purified,
in thy presence to abide:
come, with all thine angels, come;
raise the glorious harvest home!

Ho! Reapers of Life's Harvest
Author: I. B. W. Appears in 121 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:37 First Line: Ho! reapers of life's harvest Lyrics: 1 Ho! reapers of life's harvest,
Why stand with rusted blade,
Until the night draws round thee,
And day begins to fade?
Why stand ye idle, waiting
For reapers more to come?
The golden morn is passing,
Why sit ye idle, dumb?
2 Thrust in your sharpened sickle,
And gather in the grain,
The night is fast approaching,
And soon will come again.
The Master calls for reapers,
And shall he call in vain?
Shall sheaves lie there ungathered,
And waste upon the plain?
3 Come down from hill and mountain
In morning's ruddy glow,
Nor wait until the dial
Points to the noon below;
And come with stronger sinew,
Nor faint in heat or cold,
And pause not till the evening
Draws round its wealth of gold.
4 Mount up the heights of wisdom,
And crush each error low;
Keep back no words of knowledge
That human hearts should know.
Be faithful to thy mission,
In service of thy Lord,
And then a golden chaplet
Shall be thy just reward. Used With Tune: [Ho! reapers of life's harvest]

As by Gennes'ret's shore.

O Lord of life and death;
Restore and quicken, soothe and bless,
With Your life-giving breath.

Give wisdom's healing pow'r

May praise You evermore. Topics: Society; Health and Healing Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

the deserts bloom and spring,
the hills leap up in gladness,
the valleys laugh and sing.

all things with large increase;
he crowns the year with blessing,
with plenty and with peace.

the gifts his goodness gave,
the golden sheaves of harvest,
the souls Christ died to save.
Your hearts lay down before him
when at his feet you fall,
and with your lives adore him
who gave his life for all.
