It May Not Be Our Lot to Wield

Author: John G Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #437 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: ABENDS Lyrics: 1 It may not be our lot to wield The sickle in the ripened field; Nor ours to hear, on summer eves, The reaper's song among the sheaves. 2 Yet where our duty's task is wrought In unison with God's great thought, The near and future blend in one, And whatsoe'er is willed, is done. 3 And ours the grateful service whence Comes, day by day, the recompense; The hope, the trust, the purpose stayed, The fountain, and the noonday shade. 4 And were this life the utmost span, The only end and aim of man, Better the toil of fields like these Than waking dream and slothful ease. 5 But life, though falling like our grain, Like that revives and springs again; And, early called, how blest are they Who wait in heaven their harvest day!

We know and feel that Thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel; For some are sick, and some are sad, And some have never loved Thee well, And some have lost the love they had. 4 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, For none are wholly free from sin; And they who fain would serve Thee best, Are conscious most of wrong within. 5 O Saviour Christ, Thou too art man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide. 6 Thy touch has still its ancient power, No word from Thee can fruitless fall; Hear, in this solemn evening hour, And in Thy mercy heal us all.

Author: William H Bathurst, 1796-1877 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #486 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: ARLINGTON Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Tho' pressed by every foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe! 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening rod, But, in the hour of grief or pain, Will lean upon its God; 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without: That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt; 4 Lord, give us such a faith as this; And then, what e’er may come, I’ll taste, e’en now, the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

Bowing At thy Cross, O Jesus

Author: Rev J H White Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #419 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN Lyrics: 1 Bowing at Thy Cross, O Jesus, With my load of grief and sin, Bruised- wounded in life's battle– Foes without and foes within; Hear me now, O Christ, my Saviour, in my time of greatest need; Look on me with deep compassion, And for me pray intercede. 2 Years ago in sinless childhood, Ere my feet were led astray, At the evening hour low bending, Mother taught me how to pray. But I heeded not life's pitfalls, Hidden 'neath the fragrant flowers Yielded duty up to pleasure; Wasted all the golden hours. 3 But at last Thy Cross, O Jesus Sets my conquered soul aflame; And my load of sin has vanished, Praised be Thy glorious Name. Thou for me hath interceded, And my feet no longer stray. Now my mother's prayers prevaileth As I near the shining way. AMEN. Topics: Repentance and Pardon Languages: English

Come, Humble Sinner, In Whose Breast

Author: Edmund Jones Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #303 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: BALERMA Lyrics: 1 Come, humble sinner, in whose breast A thousand thoughts revolve, Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed, And make this last resolve: 2 I'll go to Jesus, though my sins Like mountains round me close; I know His courts, I'll enter in, Whatever may oppose. 3 Prostrate I'll lie before His throne, And there my guilt confess; I'll tell Him, I'm a wretch undone Without His sovereign grace. 4 Perhaps He will admit my plea, Perhaps will hear my prayer; But if I perish I will pray, And perish only there. 5 I can but perish if I go; I am resolved to try; For if I stay away, I know I must forever die.
