Behold, the Master passeth by!

Author: W. W. How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 52 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold, the Master passeth by! Oh, seest thou not His pleading eye? With low sad voice He calleth thee, "Leave this vain world, and follow Me." 2 O soul, bound down with harrowing care, Hast thou no thought for heaven to spare? From earthly toils lift up thine eye; Behold, the Master passeth by! 3 One heard Him calling long ago, And straightway left all things below, Counting his earthly gain as loss For Jesus and His blessèd cross. 4 That "follow Me" his faithful ear Seemed every day afresh to hear; Its echoes stirred his spirit still, And fired his hope, and nerved his will. 5 God gently calls us every day: Why should we then our bliss delay? He calls to heaven and endless light: Why should we love the dreary night? 6 Praise, Lord, to Thee, for Matthew's call, At which he rose and left his all: Thou, Lord, e'en now art calling me; I will leave all, and follow Thee. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Matthew; Christ's Call; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: ST. LAWRENCE

Look from Thy sphere of endless day

Author: W. C. Bryant Appears in 174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Look from Thy sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might! In pity look on those who stray, Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or sea, How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from Thee! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them Thy mighty word to speak, Till faith shall dawn and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene That makes us sadden as we gaze, Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise.

O Thou Who makest souls to shine

Author: John Armstrong Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: O Thou who makest souls to shine With light from brighter worlds above, And droppest glistening dew divine On all who seek a Savior's love; Do thou thy benediction give On all who teach, on all who learn, That so thy Church may holier live, And every lamp more brightly burn. 413 Give those that teach pure hearts and wise, Faith, hope, and love, all warmed by prayer: Themselves first training for the skies, They best will raise their people there. Give those that learn the willing ear, The spirit meek, the guileless mind; Such gifts will make the lowliest here Far better than a kingdom find. O bless the shepherd, bless the sheep, That guide and guided both be one, One in the faithful watch they keep Until this hurrying life be done. If thus, good Lord, thy grace be given, Our glory meets us ere we die; Before we upward pass to heaven We taste our immortality. Amen. Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Used With Tune: ST. LAWRENCE
