Comfort
Author: George Rawson Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Christians Afflictions First Line: In the dark and cloudy day Lyrics: 1 In the dark and cloudy day,
When earth's riches flee away,
And the last hope will not stay,
Saviour, comfort me!
2 When the secret idol's gone
That my poor heart yearned upon,--
Desolate, bereft, alone,
Saviour, comfort me!
3 Thou, who wast so sorely tried,
In the darkness crucified,
Bid me in thy love confide;
Saviour, comfort me!
4 Comfort me; I am cast down:
'Tis my heavenly Father's frown;
I deserve it all, I own:
Saviour, comfort me!
5 So it shall be good for me
Much afflicted now to be,
If thou wilt but tenderly,
Saviour, comfort me! Scripture: Psalm 103:13 Used With Tune: LAST HOPE

More laborers
Author: Samuel Longfellow Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: Christians Duties First Line: Oh, still in accents sweet and strong Lyrics: 1 Oh, still in accents sweet and strong
Sounds forth the ancient word,--
"More reapers for white harvest fields,
More laborers for the Lord!"
2 We hear the call; in dreams no more
In selfish ease we lie,
But, girded for our Father's work,
Go forth beneath his sky.
3 Where prophets' word, and martyrs' blood
And prayers of saints were sown,
We, to their labors entering in,
Would reap where they have strown. Scripture: Matthew 9:38 Used With Tune: CHESTERFIELD

He is our brother yet.

Child of the self-same God;
He hath but stumbled in the path
We have in weakness trod.
3 Forget not thou hast often sinned,
And sinful yet must be:
Deal gently with the erring one:
As God has dealt with thee. Scripture: Proverbs 11:30 Used With Tune: CHESTERFIELD

"Little Flock"
Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: Christians Fellowship First Line: Church of the ever-living God Lyrics: 1 Church of the ever-living God,
The Father's gracious choice,
Amid the voices of this earth
How feeble is thy voice!
2 Not many rich or noble called,
Not many great or wise;
They whom God makes his kings and priests
Are poor in human eyes.
3 But the chief Shepherd comes at length;
Their feeble days are o'er,
No more a handful in the earth,
A little flock no more.
4 Then entering the eternal halls,
In robes of victory,
That mighty multitude shall keep
The joyous jubilee. Scripture: Leviticus 25:13 Used With Tune: BELMONT

Meeting, after absence

And see each other's face?
Glory and praise to Jesus give,
For his redeeming grace.
2 What trouble have we seen,
What conflicts have we passed,
Fightings without, and fears within,
Since we assembled last!
3 But out of all the Lord
Hath brought us by his love;
And still he doth his help afford,
And hides our life above. Scripture: Psalm 116:12 Used With Tune: GOLDEN HILL

Living in Christ
Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 260 hymnals Topics: Covenant Christian First Line: My gracious Lord, I own thy right Lyrics: 1 My gracious Lord, I own thy right
To every service I can pay,
And call it my supreme delight
To hear thy dictates and obey.
2 What is my being, but for thee,
Its sure support, its noblest end?
Thine ever-smiling face to see,
And serve the cause of such a Friend.
3 I would not breathe for worldly joy,
Or to increase my worldly good;
Nor future days nor powers employ
To spread a sounding name abroad.
4 'Tis to my Saviour I would live,
To him who for my ransom died;
Nor could the bowers of Eden give
Such bliss as blossoms at his side.
5 His work my hoary age shall bless,
When youthful vigor is no more;
And my last hour of life confess
His dying love, his saving power. Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM (Mason's)
Living in Christ
Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Christian unity Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other
as Christ accepted us;
teach us as sister, brother,
each person to embrace.
Be present, God, among us,
and bring us to believe
we are ourselves accepted
and meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons,
as in our daily life
we struggle to be human
and search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people,
for all, not just for some,
to love them as we find them,
or as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us,
so that we may be moved
in living situations
to do the truth in love;
To practice your acceptance,
until we know by heart
the table of forgiveness
and laughter's healing art.
4 God, for today's encounters
with all who are in need,
who hunger for acceptance,
for righteousness and bread,
Bring us new eyes for seeing,
new hands for holding on:
renew us with your Spirit;
God! Free us, make us one! Scripture: John 15:12 Used With Tune: AURELIA
