Jesus, Our Divine Companion

Author: Henry van Dyke, 1852-1933 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, our divine companion, By your lowly human birth You have come to join all workers, Burden-bearers of the earth. As the carpenter of Naz'reth, Toiling for your daily food, By your patience and your courage, You have taught us work is good. 2 All who tread the path of labor Follow where your feet have trod; All who work without complaining Do the holy will of God. You, the peace surpassing knowledge, Dwell with us in daily strife; You, the Bread of heaven, broken In the sacrament of life. 3 Ev'ry task, however simple, Fills the soul with grace anew; Ev'ry act of human kindness Done in love is done to you. Jesus, our divine companion, Help us all to work our best; Bless us in our daily labor, Lead us to the Sabbath rest. Topics: Social Concern Used With Tune: PLEADING SAVIOR

Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise; Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wand'rer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away. Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained cross appear. 3 Lord, my spirit's ardent feelings Vainly would my lips express. Low before thy footstool kneeling, Deign thy suppliant’s prayer to bless; Let thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure, Love’s pure flame within me raise; And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth thy praise!

Nourish us with sacred story till we claim it as our own; teach us through this holy banquet how to make Love’s victory known. 2 Turn our worship into witness in the sacrament of life; send us forth to love and serve you, bringing peace where there is strife. Give us, Christ, your great compassion to forgive as you forgave; may we still behold your image in the world you died to save. 3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon other guests to share that feast where triumphant Love will welcome those who had been last and least. There no more will envy blind us nor will pride our peace destroy, as we join with saints and angels to repeat the sounding joy.
