The Sower went forth sowing
Author: William St. Hill Bourne, 1846-1929 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #722 (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 The Sower went forth sowing,
the seed in secret slept
through weeks of faith and patience,
till out the green blade crept;
and warmed by golden sunshine,
and fed by silver rain,
at last the fields were whitened
to harvest once again.
O praise the heavenly Sower,
who gave the fruitful seed,
and watched and watered duly,
and ripened for our need.
2 Behold! the heavenly Sower
goes forth with better seed,
the word of sure salvation,
with feet and hands that bleed;
here in his church ’tis scattered,
our spirits are the soil;
then let an ample fruitage
repay his pain and toil.
Oh, beauteous is the harvest
wherein all goodness thrives,
and this the true thanksgiving,
the first-fruits of our lives.
3 Within a hallowed acre
he sows yet other grain,
when peaceful earth receiveth
the dead he died to gain;
for though the growth be hidden,
we know that they shall rise;
yea even now they ripen
in sunny paradise.
O summer land of harvest,
O fields for ever white
with souls that wear Christ’s raiment,
with crowns of golden light!
4 One day the heavenly Sower
shall reap where he hath sown,
and come again rejoicing,
and with him bring his own;
and then the fan of judgement
shall winnow from his floor
the chaff into the furnace
that flameth evermore.
O holy, awful Reaper,
have mercy in the day,
thou puttest in thy sickle,
and cast us not away. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Harvest Scripture: Matthew 13:3-9 Languages: English Tune Title: ST BEATRICE

Jerusalem the Golden

With milk and honey blest—

What joys await us there,
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare:

With all the martyr throng,
Amidst the halls of Zion
Resounding full with song.
2 Oh, sweet and blessed country,
The home of God’s elect!
Oh, sweet and blessed country
That eager hearts expect,
Where they who with their leader
Have conquered in the fight
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
Jesus in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest
Where sings the host of heaven
Your glorious name to bless.
3 The Christ is ever with them;
The daylight is serene.
The pastures of the blessed
Are ever rich and green.
There is the throne of David;
And there from care released,
The shout of them that triumph,
The song of them that feast.
To God enthroned in glory
The Church’s voices blend,
The Lamb forever blessed,
The Light that knows no end. Topics: End Time Languages: English Tune Title: THAXTED

’Twill gain a crown of glory
For all eternity.

And hear the groans of sorrow
Above our city’s din.

From sin in Jesus’ name.

And swiftly down are sinking,
To realms of endless woe. [Refrain]

We thus shall speed along,
Till every place of sorrow
Becomes a place of song;
Till slaves of vice and folly
At Jesus’ feet shall fall,
And claim His great salvation,
And crown Him Lord of all. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: SANTIAGO

Is It True?
Author: Salathial C. Kirk Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11575 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D First Line: So strange it seemed and wondrous Refrain First Line: I love to hear it spoken Lyrics: 1 So strange it seemed and wondrous,
When first it came to me,
The story of King Jesus,
I asked "Can such things be?"
I felt my heart replying,
"O if I only knew!
The cross, the thorns, the dying!
Oh is it, is it true?"
Refrain:
I love to hear it spoken,
I love to read it through;
But O for word or token
To tell me it is true!
2 And when I heard the story
Told o’er and o’er again,
How Jesus, now in glory,
Was walking still with men,
Was filling hearts with gladness,
And scattering sunshine through;
My own heart longed in sadness
To know if it were true. [Refrain]
3 Then softly was it spoken,
"Come, lean upon My breast,
Ye weary ones, heartbroken,
And I will give you rest."
My heart, so sad and lonely,
A little closer drew;
I cried, "O Lord, if only
I felt and knew it true!"
Last Refrain:
My Savior, O my Savior!
The old, old story’s new!
My strength, my joy forever,
I know, I know it’s true. Languages: English Tune Title: MARINA DEL REY

A Little Word
Author: Mabel Taylor Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12681 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D First Line: ’Twas spoken by the wayside Lyrics: 1 ’Twas spoken by the wayside,
A little, trembling word,
And, though ’twas but a whisper,
It did not fall unheard.
It bade the night of sorrow
From weeping eyes depart,
It made a burden lighter,
And healed a breaking heart.
’Twas spoken by the wayside,
A little, trembling word,
And, though ’twas but a whisper,
It did not fall unheard.
2 ’Twas spoken by the wayside,
Where many came and passed,
And, swiftly as an arrow,
It reached its mark at last;
’Twas spoken by the wayside,
When evening shades were dim,
It told the love of Jesus,
And brought a soul to Him.
’Twas spoken by the wayside,
Where many came and passed,
And, swiftly as an arrow,
It reached its mark at last.
3 Go, stand ye by the wayside,
And breathe in fervent prayer
A word of love and kindness,
’Twill find an echo there.
Ye know not who may listen,
Or what that word may do;
But go in faith, believing
The Lord has work for you.
Go, stand ye by the wayside,
And breathe in fervent prayer
A word of love and kindness,
’Twill find an echo there. Languages: English Tune Title: MOUNT WASHINGTON

When sorrows dim my sight
And hide from me the beauty
And sweetness of the light;

Whate’er might come, I know,
If Thou will lead me, Father,

All fair in white and gold;

There peeps the violet blue!
