As Peter fished all the night

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 Lyrics: 1 As Peter fished all the night, And toil'd until the morning Light. His labours they were all for nought, He drew his net but nothing caught. 2 Such is the case with teachers too, All they can teach, or say or do-- That cannot cause the world to b'lieve, Or yet the Gospel truth receive. 3 Except the Lord, their labours bless, Their labours are, without success; Their Gospel net is cast in vain, And they have nothing for their pain. 4 When Jesus manages the case, And cloath's the word with pow'r and grace; Then sinners will be made to hear And feel and know the Saviour near. 5 At his commanding word we cast Our net, and hope to catch at last! We preach to men the Gospel word, And for the blessing trust the Lord. 6 O make us faithful, Lord we pray! That like true fishermen we may-- In all our office act our part, And seek thy cause with all our heart. Topics: Fifth Sunday after Trinity

A Song of Degrees for Solomon

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 First Line: Except the Lord the house doth build Lyrics: 1 Except the Lord the house do build, The builders work in vain. Except the Lord the city keep The watchman wakes in vain. 2 It's vain for you to rise betimes, Watch late, to feed upon The bread of griefs; sure he gives sleep To his beloved one. 3 The fruitful womb is God's reward, Children his heritage. 4 As arrows in a strong mans hand, Are sons of youthful age. 5 O blessed is the man who hath His quiver fill'd with those: They shall not in the gate be sham'd In speaking with their foes.

Ein Gesang vom gemeinen Wohl

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 127 First Line: Vergebens ist all' Müh' und Kost Lyrics: 1 Vergebens ist all' Müh' und Kost, wo nicht das Haus Gott selber bau't; also ist auch der Mensch trostlos, wo er sein'n eignen Kräften trat.– Denn wo die Stadt Gott mit sein'm Rath nicht selbst erhält und schützet; man wach' und hüt', ohn' Gottes Güt' fürwahr daß solch's nicht nützet. 2 Was hilft's, daß wir für Tag's aufstehn, und auf uns laden Sorgen viel? so doch all' unser' Anschläg' gehn allein, wie Gottes Ordnung will; und ob dein Brod gleich wird mit Noth und Kummer über kommen; wenn Gott dir nicht solch's segnet mit, waas reicht dir das zu frommen? 3 Der himmlisch' Vater thut's allein, daß Land und Leut' wird wohl regiert, wir sehen's täglich, als ich mein', und wenn nicht hütet' dieser Hirt, all Regiment nähm' bald ein End', wär's noch so fest erbauet; wie elend' Leut' sein wir denn heut, das wir Ihm nicht vertrauen! 4 Daß Gott den Menschen Kind'r beschert, das ist allein sein' Gnad' und Güt'; Er ist's, der sie erhält und nährt; wenn sich der Mensch am höchsten müht, so ist's umsonst ohn' Gottes Gunst. Er kann ihr'n Fußsteig wenden, gleich wie in eil umtreibt ein'n Pfeil ein Starker in sein'n Händen. 5 Wie selig ist nun diese Stadt, die von Gott selber wird regiert, das Haus, so ein'n Vorsteher hat, den Gott in seinen Wege führt! darum so schau', daß dein Vertrau nur werd' auf Ihn gestellet, denn ohn' sein' Hand, ein jedes land gewiß zu Boden fället.
