Do It Now

Author: Salathial C. Kirk Meter: 7.7.7.7.4 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: By the lip, the leaf, the pen Lyrics: 1 By the lip, the leaf, the pen, Speed the Gospel tidings on To the waiting hearts of men. What you have to give or say, Give it now, and say today. 2 Sow a little wayside talk; Sow a sunny daily walk— God will watch and nurse the stalk. Only do the planting thou— Do it early, do it now. 3 By the purse, the prayer, the song, Send the blessèd Word along, Into every land and tongue; Whatsoe’er it be, or how, Do it early, do it now. 4 True and steady to the chart, Hand in hand and heart to heart, Let us do a hero’s part. Some may sow and some may plow, Do it early, do it now. Used With Tune: WÜRTTEMBERG Text Sources: Musings Along the Way (Philadelphia: A. H. Sickler & Company, 1900)

Till He Come

Author: Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr. Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 256 hymnals First Line: Till He come O let the words Lyrics: 1. Till He come O let the words Linger on the trembling chords, Let the little while between In their golden light be seen; Let us think how Heaven and home Lie beyond that, Till He come. 2. When the weary ones we love Enter on their rest above, Seems the earth so poor and vast, All our life joy overcast? Hush, be every murmur dumb; It is only, Till He come. 3. Clouds and conflicts round us press; Would we have one sorrow less? All the sharpness of the cross, All that tells the world is lost, Death and darkness, and the tomb, Only whisper, Till He come. 4. See, the feast of love is spread, Drink the wine, and break the bread; Sweet memorials, till the Lord Calls us round His heavenly board; Some from earth, from glory some Severed only, Till He come.

Author: John Caspar Mattes; Johann Georg Albinus, d. 1679 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Smite us not in anger, Lord, But in mercy spare us, Save us from our just reward, In Thy pity hear us. Though our sin, Great hath been, Let Christ's intercession Cover our transgression. 2 Strengthen us in love, O Lord, Gently as a Father; When Thou dost Thy help afford All our fears are over. Weak indeed, We have need That Thy love correct us, And thy grace protect us. 3 Glorious God, Thy Name we praise; Father, Son and Spirit; Now and through eternal days, As Thy mercies merit, Glory be Unto Thee Who hast pity on us, And with love hast won us. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Repentance Used With Tune: STRAF MICH NICHT

Rise, My Soul, to Watch and Pray

Author: Johann B. Freystein; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Rise, my soul, to watch and pray, from thy sleep awaken; Be not by the evil day unawares be taken. For the foe, well we know, oft his harvest reapeth, While the Christian sleepeth. 2. Watch against the devil’s snares lest asleep he find thee; For indeed no pains he spares to deceive and blind thee. Satan’s prey oft are they who secure are sleeping And no watch are keeping. 3. Watch! Let not the wicked world with its power defeat thee. Watch lest with her pomp unfurled she betray and cheat thee. Watch and see lest there be faithless friends to charm thee, Who but seek to harm thee. 4. Watch against thyself, my soul, lest with grace thou trifle; Let not self thy thoughts control nor God’s mercy stifle. Pride and sin lurk within all thy hopes to scatter; Heed not when they flatter. 5. But while watching, also pray to the Lord unceasing, He will free thee, be thy Stay, strength and faith increasing. O Lord, bless in distress and let nothing swerve me From the will to serve Thee. 6. Therefore let us watch and pray, knowing He will hear us As we see from day to day dangers ever near us, And the end doth impend— our redemption neareth When the Lord appeareth.
