Rejoicing Together

Author: Susan E. Gammons Hymnal: CoH1906 #85 (1906) First Line: A sower with weeping went forth to sow Lyrics: 1. A sower with weeping went forth to sow Went bearing the precious seed; He pass'd where the wayside vines droop'd low, Pass'd over the dewy mead. From early dawn till the stars came out, He scattered the golden grain, Alike on the hillside parch'd with drought, Alike on the fertile plain. 2. The seed soon sprung up which the sower cast; It grew both by night and day; And lo, e'er the harvest time had pass'd, A reaper strayed that way. He reaped the grain with a happy song; His sickle was keen and bright; Heavy laden with sheaves he passed along In the rosy, sunset light. 3. When the "Lord of the Harvest" shall come to receive And garner his ripened wheat, The sower and reaper together, their sheaves With rejoicing shall lay at his feet; Together shall enter the heav'nly rest, To sow and to reap no more; Together shall join in the song of the blest, For the weeping time will be o'er.

A summer of smiles is nearing For this winter so drear of tears, And I sing my own heart's cheering, Of the end of the sorrowful year. [Chorus] 3. A summer of bliss with the parted, When this winter of graves is no more; Not a sigh that shall say weary-hearted, From a lip on that summer land shore. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [A summer of life is coming]

The Missionary Saviour

Author: C. M. S. Hymnal: CoH1906 #23 (1906) First Line: A world in awful darkness lay Refrain First Line: No eye was found with pitying love Lyrics: 1. A world in awful darkness lay, No ray of hope shone in; And not a soul the price could pay To cancel earth's dark sin. Refrain: No eye was found with pitying love; No arm to save the lost, Till Jesus came from realms above To pay the fearful cost. 2. Within the shadow, dark and deep, Of death, dwelt all the race; Fear into every heart did creep While Mercy hid her face. Refrain: But when among the host above Was heard the pleading cry, For one to go to men in love, Our Lord said, "Here am I." 3. If Christ was willing thus to come Down from his home on high To leave his Father's glorious throne For foreigners to die Refrain: Shall those who claim his own to be, Refuse to send the light, To foreign lands across the sea Long wrapt in shades of night? 4. Still many souls in darkness wait, And still is heard the cry From sinful ones without the gate, "O save us ere we die." Refrain: Then may the love of Christ inspire Our souls with sacred zeal; Till melting hearts with holy fire Before his throne shall kneel.

The Risen Christ

Good news for souls that sigh In fear's dark prison; Ye are not doomed to die, For Christ is risen. 2. The Lord indeed arose; The word is spoken; His tomb was sealed by foes Their seal is broken. The stone is rolled away 'Mid wonders thrilling; Hear what the angels say, His word fulfilling: 3. "Fear not! Among the dead Seek ye the living?" "Fear not," the angel said, New courage giving. "Fear not" need any fear Whom he befriendeth? An empty tomb is here; The Lord ascendeth. 4. "Fear not"! Repeat the word, Rehearse the story; Tell what your ears have heard, Messiah's glory. "Fear not," his victory sing; His saints awaking, Shall he in triumph bring, Their tombs forsaking. Languages: English Tune Title: [Adown the centuries]
