The voice of God is calling

Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The voice of God is calling Its summons unto men; As once He spoke in Zion, So now He speaks again. When shall I send to succour My people in their need? Whom shall I send to loosen The bonds of lust and greed? 2 I hear my people crying In cot and mine and slum; No field of man is silent, No city street is dumb. I see my people falling In darkness and despair, Whom shall I send to shatter The letters which they bear? 3 We heed, O Lord, Thy summons, And answer, here are we! Send us upon Thine errand, Let us Thy servants be, Our strength is dust and ashes, Our years a passing hour But Thou canst use our weakness, To magnify Thy power. 4 From ease and pleasure save us, From pride of place absolve; Purge us of low desire, Lift us to high resolve. Take us, and make us holy, Teach us Thy will and way, Speak, and behold! we answer, Command, and we obey! Topics: General Brotherhood, Service, Guilds, Parochial Missions Used With Tune: CRUGER

Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper, 1731 - 1800 Appears in 409 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord who rises With healing in his wings; When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation We sweetly then pursue The theme of God’s salvation, And find it ever new; Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown tomorrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing But he will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing Will clothe his people, too: Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed, And he who feeds the ravens Will give his children bread. 4 Though vine nor fig tree neither Their wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God, the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; For, while in him confiding I cannot but rejoice.

O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 821 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, most beautiful, most bright! On thee the high and lowly before th'eternal throne sing "Holy, holy, holy" to the great Thee-in-One. 2 On thee at the creation, the light first had its birth, on thee for our salvation Christ rose from depths of earth; on thee our Lord victorious, the Spirit sent from heav'n, and thus on thee most glorious, a triple light was giv'n. 3 New graces ever gaining from this our day of rest, we reach the rest remaining to spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, to Father and to Son; the church her voice upraises to thee, blest Three-in-One. Scripture: Genesis 1:3 Used With Tune: CRÜGER
