to greatest, as to least;
they summoned all to hasten
to share the great King's feast,
and this was all their teaching,
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming:
"One church, one faith, one Lord!"

Shall hearts fail, hands hang down?
Shall we evade the conflict,
and cast away our crown?

some better thing is stored:
we will maintain, unflinching,
"One church, one faith, one Lord!"
4 Your mercy will not fail us,
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us
the victory shall be won,
and then by earth and heaven
your name shall be adored,
and this shall be our anthem,

O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee
Author: Washington Gladden Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 573 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Guide and Leader Lyrics: 1 O Master, let me walk with thee
in lowly paths of service free;
tell me thy secret, help me bear
the strain of toil, the fret of care.
2 Help me the slow of heart to move
with some clear, winning word of love;
teach me the wayward feet to stay,
and guide them in the homeward way.
3 Teach me thy patience; still with thee ,
in closer, dearer company,
in work that keeps faith sure and strong,
in trust that triumphs over wrong,
4 in hope that sends a shining ray
far down the future's broadening way,
in peace that only thou canst give,
with thee, O Master, let me live. Used With Tune: MARYTON

To all the pure of heart,
Tho' life seems vain;
Burdened with anxious care,
I groped in dark despair,
Till in Thy house of prayer
All was made plain.

All shall be well with me,
Held by Thy hand;
And Thou wilt guide my feet
By Thy own counsel sweet,
Till I, for glory meet,
In glory stand.

Who is there that I love
Compared with Thee?
My heart may faint with fears,
But God my strength appears,
And will to endless years
My portion be.

May still to God draw nigh,
As oft before;
The Lord Jehovah blest,
My refuge and my rest,
Shall be in praise confessed
For evermore. Scripture: Psalm 73 Used With Tune: OLIVET
