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 254 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.
