Go, Labor On

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 439 hymnals Matching Instances: 24 Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on: spend, and be spent, your joy to do the Father's will; it is the way the Master went; should not the servant tread it still? 2 Go, labor on: 'tis not for naught; your earthly loss is heav'nly gain; men heed you, love you, praise you not; the Master praises - what are men? 3 Go, labor on: enough while here if he shall praise you, if he deign your willing heart to mark and cheer: no toil for him shall be in vain. 4 Go, labor on while it is day: the world's dark night is hast'ning on. Speed, speed your work, cast sloth away; it is not thus that souls are won. 5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray; be wise the erring soul to win; go forth into the world's highway, compel the wand'rer to come in. 6 Toil on, and in your toil rejoice; for toil comes rest, for exile home; Soon shall you hear the Bridegroom's voice, the midnight peal, "Behold, I come."

O God, Whom I Delight to Praise

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1. O God, whom I delight to praise, To Thee my cry for help I raise; Be Thou my friend and advocate When foes assail with bitter hate. 2. Against me slanderous words are flung From many a false and lying tongue; Without a cause men hurl at me The shafts of deadly enmity. 3. My good with evil they repay, My love turns not their hate away; The part of vengeance, Lord, is Thine; To pray, and only pray, is mine. 4. Since love appeals to him in vain, The slave of sin let him remain; Against him let his foe be turned, His sin be judged, his prayer be spurned. 5. Let sudden death upon him break, His office let another take, His children and his widowed wife Pursue the homeless beggar’s life. 6. Let creditors consume his toil And strangers make his wealth their spoil; Let none in pity heed his claim; Cut off his race, blot out his name. 7. His parents’ sins be not forgot Till Thou from earth his memory blot, Since he remembered not to show Compassion to the sons of woe. 8. He cursing loved and blessing loathed: Unblest, with cursing he is clothed; For thus the justice of the Lord My adversaries will reward. 9. O God, the Lord, for Thy name’s sake Let me of Thy good grace partake; My need is great, and great Thou art To heal my wounded, stricken heart. 10. With failing strength I fast and pine, Like shadows swift my days decline, And when my foes my weakness see They shake their head in scorn at me. 11. O Lord, my God, Thy help I crave, In Thy great lovingkindness save; Before my foes Thy mercy show; That Thou dost help me, make them know. 12. What though they curse, if Thou wilt bless? Then joy shall banish my distress, And shame shall overwhelm the foes Who would Thy servant’s way oppose. 13. Thanksgiving to the Lord I raise, The multitude shall hear my praise, For by the needy God will stand To save them from oppression’s hand.

Look from Thy Sphere of Endless Day

Author: William Cullen Bryant Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 173 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Look from Thy sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might! In pity look on those who stray, Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or sea, How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from Thee! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them Thy mighty Word, to speak, Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes,--a dreary scene, That fills with sadness as we gaze,-- Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise. Amen. Topics: Missions Home and Inner; Home Missions Used With Tune: PENTECOST

Be Thou exalted, O my God, Above the heav’ns, where angels dwell; Thy power on earth be known abroad, And land to land Thy wonders tell.

Great God! Did Pious Abram Pray?

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Great God! did pious Abram pray Lyrics: 1 Great God! did pious Abram pray For Sodom’s vile abandoned race? And shall not now Thy Church arouse Our nation to implore Thy grace? 2 Base as we are, does not Thine eye Its chosen thousands here survey? Whose souls, deep humbled, mourn the crowds, Who walk in sin’s destructive way? 3 O Judge supreme, let not Thy sword The righteous with the wicked smite; Nor bury in promiscuous heaps Rebels and saints, Thy chief delight. 4 For these Thy children, spare the land; Avert the thunders big with death; Nor let the seeds of latent fire Be kindled by Thy flaming breath. 5 O! be not angry, mighty God, While dust and ashes seek Thy face; But gently bending from Thy throne, Renew, and still increase Thy grace. 6 Jesus the Intercessor hear, And for His sake Thy grace impart Which, while it stops the fiery stream, Dissolves the most obdurate heart. 7 Sodom shall change to Zion then, And heavenly dews be scattered round, That plants of paradise may spring, Where baleful poisons cursed the ground.

The wide extremes of Heav’n and hell. 3 See the red flames around him twine, Who did in gold and purple shine! Nor can his tongue one drop obtain T’allay the scorching of his pain. 4 While round the saint, so poor below, Full rivers of salvation flow; On Abram’s breast he leans his head, And banquets on celestial bread. 5 Jesus, my Savior, let me share The meanest of Thy servants’ fare: May I at last approach to taste The blessings of Thy marriage feast.

Yet who that knows the worth of prayer But wishes to be often there? 2 Prayer makes the darkened clouds withdraw; Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw; Gives exercise to faith and love; Brings every blessing from above. 3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight; Prayer makes the Christian’s armor bright; And Satan trembles when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees. 4 Were half the breath oft vainly spent To heaven in supplication sent, Our cheerful song would oftener be, "Hear what the Lord has done for me."
