Master, no offering

Author: Rev. Edwin P. Parker Hymnal: HPAG1933 #407 (1950) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 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, Dear Lord, to Thee. 2 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, Dear Lord, to Thee. 3 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 footsteps led, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. 4 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, Dear Lord, to Thee. Amen.

In the hour of trial

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: HPAG1933 #255a (1950) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me; Lest by base denial I depart from Thee; When Thou seest me waver, With a look recall, Nor for fear or favor Suffer me to fall. 2 With its witching pleasures Would this vain world charm, Or its sordid treasures Spread to work me harm, Bring to my remembrance Sad Gethsemane, Or, in darker semblance, Cross-crowned Calvary. 3 When in dust and ashes To the grave I sink, While heaven's glory flashes O'er the shelving brink, On Thy truth relying Through that mortal strife, Lord, receive me, dying, To eternal life.
