O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Come, Labor On
Author: Jane Laurie Borthwick Meter: 4.10.10.10.4 Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Labor Day Lyrics: 1 Come, labor on.
Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain
While all around him waves the golden grain?
And to each servant does the Master say,
"Go work today."
2 Come, labor on.
Claim the high calling angels cannot share—
To young and old the gospel gladness bear;
Redeem the time; its hours too swiftly fly.
The night draws nigh.
3 Come, labor on.
Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear!
No arm so weak but may do service here:
By feeblest agents may our God fulfill
His righteous will.
4 Come, labor on.
No time for rest, till glows the western sky,
Till the long shadows o'er our pathway lie,
And a glad sound comes with the setting sun,
"Well done, well done!"
Amen. Scripture: John 4:34-35 Used With Tune: ORA LABORA
Come, Labor On
God of Grace and God of Glory
Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Civil Year Labor Day Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory,
On your people pour your power;
Crown the ancient church's story;
Bring her bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
For the facing of this hour,
For the facing of this hour.
2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us
Scorn the Christ, assail his ways!
From the fears that long have bound us
Free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
For the living of these days,
For the living of these days.
3 Cure your children's warring madness,
Bend our pride to your control;
Shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
Rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
Lest we miss the Kingdom's goal,
Lest we miss the Kingdom's goal.
4 Save us from weak resignation
To the evils we deplore;
Let the search for your salvation
Be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
Serving God whom we adore,
Serving God whom we adore.
Amen. Scripture: Acts 2:17-18 Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

O God of Every Nation
Author: William W. Reid, Jr., b.1923 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Labor First Line: O God of ev'ry nation Lyrics: 1 O God of ev'ry nation,
Of ev'ry race and land,
Redeem the whole creation
With your almighty hand.
Where hate and fear divide us
And bitter threats are hurled,
In love and mercy guide us
And heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
And scorn of truth and right,
From trust in bombs that shower
Destruction through the night,
From pride of race and station
And blindness to your way,
Deliver ev'ry nation,
Eternal God, we pray.
3 Lord, strengthen those who labor
That all may find release
From fear of rattling saber,
From dread of war's increase.
When hope and courage falter,
Lord, let your voice be heard;
With faith that none can alter,
Your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
Of days when war shall cease,
When hatred and division
Give way to love and peace,
Till dawns the morning glorious
When truth and justice reign,
And Christ shall rule victorious
O'er all the world's domain. Scripture: Isaiah 2:4 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE

thanks be to God.
For the gifts to every nation,
thanks be to God.
For the plowing, sowing, reaping,
silent growth while we are sleeping,
future needs in earth's safekeeping,
thanks be to God.
2 In the just reward of labor,
God's will be done.
In the help we give our neighbor,
God's will be done.
In our worldwide task of caring
for the hungry and despairing,
in the harvests we are sharing,
God's will is done.
3 For the harvests of the Spirit,
thanks be to God.
For the good we all inherit,
thanks be to God.
For the wonders that astound us,
for the truths that still confound us,
most of all, that love has found us,
thanks be to God.

Work, For the Night Is Coming
Author: Anna L. Coghill, 1861 Appears in 1,203 hymnals Topics: Labor Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming;
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling;
Work 'mid springing flowers;
Work while the day grows brighter,
Under the glowing sun;
Work for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.
2 Work for the night is coming,
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor,
Rest comes sure and soon;
Give ev'ry flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
3 Work for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies,
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies;
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work while the night is dark'ning,
When man's work is o'er.
Amen. Scripture: John 9:4 Used With Tune: [Work, for the night is coming]

we shall tread the streets of gold. [Refrain]

The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.

Are sent from heaven above;

Of all things near and far;

He lights the evening star;
The winds and waves obey Him,
By Him the birds are fed;
Much more to us, His children,
He gives our daily bread. (Refrain)
3 We thank Thee, then, O Father,
For all things bright and good,
The seed-time and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food;
No gifts have we to offer
For all Thy love imparts,
But that which Thou desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts. (Refrain)
