Let Not Thy Hands Be Slack

Author: S. E. Burrow Hymnal: Songs of Service. Rev. ed. #a46 (1948) Lyrics: 1 Let not thy hands be slack, Live not in vain; Out on life's lonely track Men toil in pain. Play thou a brother's part, Strength, love and hope impart; Bid thou the fainting heart Look up again. 2 Let not thy hands be slack, Grip thou thy Sword! Why should'st thou courage lack? Think of the Lord. Did He not fight for thee? Stronger than all is He, And He thy strength will be, Rest on His Word. 3 Let not thy hands be slack, Haste to the fray! Dream not of turning back; Life is not play! Gird thou thy armor on, Fight till the battle's won, Then shall thy Lord's "Well done," More than repay! 4 Let not thy hands be slack, "Fear not! be strong!" Cease not to make attack On ev'ry wrong! Press on for Truth and Right, Hold high the Gospel Light, Expel the dirge of night With heaven's Song! 5 Let not thy hands be slack, The days fly fast. Lost moments come not back From the dark past. Then be not slack of hand! Help thou the weak to stand! To God and Fatherland Give all thou hast! Languages: English Tune Title: [Let not thy hands be slack]

Anonymous

Composer of "PRESS ON" in Elmhurst Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
