Benevolent Efforts

Author: Mrs. P. A. Hanaford Hymnal: Laudes Domini #463 (1890) Topics: Activity and Zeal; Activity; Activity First Line: Cast thy bread upon the waters Lyrics: 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Thinking not 'tis thrown away; God himself saith, thou shalt gather It again some future day. 2 Cast thy bread upon the waters; Wildly though the billows roll, They but aid thee as thou toilest Truth to spread from pole to pole. 3 As the seed, by billows floated, To some distant island lone, So to human souls benighted, That thou flingest may be borne. 4 Cast thy bread upon the waters; Why wilt thou still doubting stand? Bounteous shall God send the harvest, If thou sow'st with liberal hand. Languages: English Tune Title: SOLNEY

See the rising grain appear; Look again! the fields are whitening, Give us thine own charity. Languages: English Tune Title: STOCKWELL

Zeal

It is not thus that souls are won. 2 Men die in darkness at your side, Without a hope to cheer the tomb: Take up the torch and wave it wide The torch that lights time's thickest gloom. 3 Toil on, faint not; keep watch and pray! Be wise the erring soul to win; Go forth into the world's highway; Compel the wanderer to come in. 4 Go, labor on: your hands are weak; Your knees are faint, your soul cast down; Yet falter not, the prize you seek Is near, a kingdom and a crown!

Chorus: Up! then, trusty hearts and true, Tho' the day comes, night comes too; Oh, the good we all may do, While the days are going by. 2 There's no time for idle scorning While the days are going by; Let our face be like the morning, While the days are going by. Oh! the world is full of sighs, Full of sad and weeping eyes; Help your fallen brothers rise, While the days are going by. [Chorus] 3 All the loving links that bind us While the days are going by, One by one we leave behind us While the days are going by; But the seeds of good we sow, Both in shade and shrine will grow, And will keep our hearts aglow While the days are going by. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: YEISLEY
