O Lord, and Master of us all

Author: John G. Whittier Hymnal: The Hymnal #496 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Brotherhood and Service Lyrics: O Lord, and Master of us all, Whate'er our name or sign, We own thy sway, we hear thy call, We test our lives by thing Thou judgest us; thy purity Doth all our lusts condemn; The love that draws us nearer thee Is hot with wrath to them; Our thoughts lie open to thy sight; And naked to thy glance Our secret sins are in the light Of thy pure countenance. Yet weak and blinded though we be, Thou dost our service own; We bring our varying gifts to thee, And thou rejectest none. To thee our full humanity, Its joys and pains belong; The wrong of man to man on thee Inflicts a deeper wrong. 452 Who hates, hates thee; who loves, becomes Therein to thee allied: All sweet accords of hearts and homes In thee are multiplied. Apart from thee all gain is loss, All labour vainly done; The solemn shadow of the cross Is better than the sun. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WALSALL

Come, labour on

Author: Jane Borthwick Hymnal: The Hymnal #497 (1916) Meter: 4.10.10.10.4 Topics: Brotherhood and Service Lyrics: Come, labour on. Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain, While all around him waves the golden grain? And to each servant does the Master say, "Go work today." Come, labour on. Claim the high calling angels cannot share-- To young and old the gospel gladness bear: Redeem the time; its hours too swiftly fly. The night draws nigh. Come, labour on. The enemy is watching night and day, To sow the tares, to snatch the seed away; While we in sleep our duty have forgot, He slumbered not. Come, labour on. Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear! No arm so weak but may do service here: By feeblest agents may our God fulfill His righteous will. 453 Come, labour on. No time for rest, till glows the western sky, While the long shadows o'er our pathway lie, And a glad sound comes with the setting sun, "Servants, well done."

Master, no offering

Author: Edwin P. Parker Hymnal: The Hymnal #500 (1916) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Topics: Brotherhood and Service Lyrics: Master, no offering, Costly and sweet, May we, like Magdalene, Lay at thy feet; Yet may love's incense rise, Sweeter than sacrifice, Dear Lord, to thee. Daily our lives would show Weakness made strong, Toilsome and gloomy ways Brightened with song; Some deeds of kindness done, Some souls by patience won, Dear Lord, to thee. Some word of hope, for hearts Burdened with fears, Some balm of peace, for eyes Blinded with tears: Some dews of mercy shed, Some wayward footstep led, Dear Lord, to thee. Thus, in thy service, Lord, Till eventide Closes the day of life, May we abide. And when earth's labors cease, Bid us depart in peace, Dear Lord, to thee. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HORBURY
