Ask Not to Be Excused

Author: F. E. B. Hymnal: CSR1908 #513 (1908) Refrain First Line: Come, O come! Lyrics: 1 Ask not to be excused, There's earnest work to do; Stand ready to be used Where God may station you. His invitation kind To thee has oft been giv'n; Accept, and thou shalt find 'Tis sweet to work for Heav'n. Chorus: Come, O come! Ask not to be excused; Come, O come! Stand ready to be used. Ask not to be excused, This answer may be giv'n: Thou hast my love abused, Thou art excused from heav'n. 2 Ask not to be excused, The Master calls today; Too long hast thou refused, Now hasten to obey. The harvest fields are white, The laborers are few; Let this be thy delight, The Master's work to do [Chorus] 3 Ask not to be excused, There's danger in delay; That wondrous love abused, Forever turns away. While Mercy gently pleads And points the way to heav'n, While Jesus intercedes, O come and be forgiv'n!

The Handwriting on the Wall

Author: Knowles Shaw Hymnal: CSR1908 #48 (1908) First Line: At the feast of Belshazzar and a thousand of his lords Refrain First Line: 'Tis the hand of God on the wall Lyrics: 1 At the feast of Belshazzar and a thousand of his lords, While they drank from golden vessels, as the Book of Truth records, In the night as they reveled in the royal palace hall, They were seiz'd with consternation, at the hand upon the wall. Chorus: 'Tis the hand of God on the wall, 'Tis the hand of God on the wall. Shall the record be "Found wanting," Or shall it be "Found trusting," While the hand is writing on the wall? 2 See the brave captive Daniel as he stood before the throng, And rebuked the haughty monarch for his mighty deeds of wrong; As he read out the writing,'twas the doom of one and all; For the kingdom now "is writing of his God upon the wall." [Chorus] 3 See the faith, zeal, and courage that would dare to do the right, Which the Spirit gave to Daniel this the secret of his might; In his home in Judea, or a captive in the hall, Yet he understood the writing of his God upon the wall. [Chorus] 4 All our deeds are recorded; there's a land that's writing now; Sinner, give your heart to Jesus, to his royal mandate bow; For the day is approaching, it must come to one and all, When the sinner's condemnation will be written the wall.
